This blog post was originally a newsletter article. I scheduled it to send out recently (I do automate sending emails, otherwise you’d get 3 at a time at 11pm one day and then nothing for months) and forgot about it. Then the responses started coming in… and didn’t stop. I had over 40 emails in response (in just a few days). Many of them were as long as this article; each of them sharing their own struggles, perspective and tips for coping with the challenges I talked about.

To make a meaningful change requires people to think, feel, or do something different—and usually all three simultaneously. But people are naturally resistant to change. We become comfortable in what we know, and moving into an unknown experience can be scary. There are many reasons people resist change, particularly in a work environment. There are the people who “have always done it this way” and are hard to convince that doing things a different way will create a better outcome.

Kämpft dein Scrum Team damit, sich Ziele zu setzen? Anfang 2019 stieß ich zu einem Scrum Team, welches das ganze letzte Jahr damit verbracht hatte, die Infrastruktur und Backend-Services für eine neue Versicherungsplattform zu entwickeln. Zu meinem Erschrecken hatten sie bis dato noch nichts geliefert, was ein Kunde wirklich nutzen konnte. Mein Ansatz, um das zu ändern, lautete: Sprint-Ziele.

All good (and bad) things must come to an end, especially in project management. Project closure is the final stage of the project lifecycle. More than just handing over deliverables, the closure process is an official ‘wrapping up’ of all the work you’ve done. But what project manager has time for that? For most teams, an official project closure process feels like a waste of time.

Let me start by saying, if you don’t know who John Cleese is, look him up. Watch a couple of his Monty Python skits. Then c’mon back to this article! About six months ago I was talking about the movie “Monty Python and the Holy Grail” with a couple coworkers. Someone mentioned John Cleese’s book on creativity. Given I’m not what I would define a creative person, didn’t give it a second thought.

Many projects require task scheduling in terms of physical volumes (i.e. material resources in MS Project like ten meters, five tons, twenty items, etc.). Unfortunately, Microsoft Project does not have such feature on the task level. Some years ago, I worked on a project where we decided to correct that with the development of a Construction Project add-on.

Welcome to the Sprint anti-patterns article from my series on Scrum anti-patterns, covering the three Scrum roles—pardon me: accountabilities—and addressing the contributions of stakeholders and the IT/line management. Moreover, I add some food for thought. For example, could a month-long Sprint be too short for accomplishing something meaningful?
