By Jeffrey S. Nielsen, PMP, PgMP, PMI-ACP, CSM I have visited many companies over my 20 plus years of project and program management training and consulting.

In its most basic sense, a schedule allows you to allocate work to your employees and let them know when they’re needed. But schedules can be used for other purposes, such as measuring the total hours your employees work each week for payroll processing or as a workload analysis tool.

Reflecting on my journey through the realms of agility and organizational dynamics, I've come to realize that agility is often misunderstood. It's not merely about adopting a set of practices or frameworks. Instead, it's a mindset, a way of being that empowers organizations to respond swiftly and effectively to market changes.

Agile is dead! ☠️ The new year is only a few weeks old, but I’ve already read various LinkedIn articles claiming the death of Agile. Again. ?♀️ Given the yearly claims of Agile’s death, we can draw various conclusions. Agile never really died, or it reincarnated and came back alive and kicking. In recent weeks, I have spoken to people from different countries, and they all knew organizations that — at a large scale — got rid of their Agile Coaches, Scrum Masters, and various related roles.
