Dwight D. Eisenhower, the World War II leader and U.S. President, wrote: “[.] plans are of no particular value, but [.] planning is indispensable”. It’s a powerful phrase that aligns all so well with Scrum. Contrary to a myth that there is no planning in Scrum , planning is actually everything: we plan our work not only in Sprint Planning but also every day at Daily Scrum. .

Risk is inherent in the nature of a project. So, that makes project risk management a central part of the project management toolset. The post Ultimate Guide to Project Risk Management appeared first on OnlinePMCourses.

How do you expect MS Project (MSP) to behave when you enter an Actual Start date for a task? You would likely expect it to store the date in the ‘Actual Start’ field and stop there, but MSP does something more than that. MSP also changes the ‘Start’ date field if the Actual Start is different from the Planned Start. Let us do a small exercise to illustrate the best practices for dealing with dates in MSP. 1.

We need big trust to go with someone and not know where they’re going. 'Trust me, it’s a great restaurant.'. ‘Believe me, you’ll love this holiday location.’ We may think people will just follow us or they're at fault because they don’t 'engage or buy-in'. How do we lead so people will change with us as we launch something, try something new or zig when everyone else is zagging?

In 2013 I wrote an article about the advantages and disadvantages of contract project managers. Competent agile coaches have been in high demand for many years due to the large number of companies across multiple industries who are going through agile transformations. Scrum asserts that the role of the Scrum Master includes coaching activities and this is fair in small contexts, but in larger organizations early in their journeys to greater agility, a Scrum Master is likely to find they have lim

Not the 'glass half empty/glass half full' kind of thinking, but how flexible, adaptable and malleable our thinking might be. Much of what we do is so ruled by habit, routine and bias, that to be able to have 'meta cognition' - thinking about how we think - can be out of reach. We need to learn, to be taught it. So can we 'get above' our thinking so we know what it is.

Getting on the same page is a collaborative and strategic need we have and yet it can take such an effort for us to get there. Perhaps some transparency might help. That word 'transparency'. meaning 'easy to be seen'. How transparent is your thinking? How well can you see what you're thinking so you can communicate it, share it and transfer it to others?

I collected the mail from my mailbox yesterday at 11am and saw the postal delivery worker, the ‘postie’, finishing delivering mail to other letterboxes. Usually she delivers the mail to our area at about 3pm. ‘Hi!’ I said. ‘Hey you seem a bit earlier, a different time today?’ ‘Yes', she said, 'I thought I’d do my round in reverse today; you know, keep it fresh.

Many project teams sweat over the project roadmap, the “what’s going to happen and when” of the project. It’s important. It keeps focus and shares intentions and expectations. And this is all good. But there could be a problem. a disconnect of sorts. It’s right there in the name of it, roadmap. Too often roadmaps are presented as boxes, tables full of words, cells from spreadsheets or complicated-looking calendars.
