Communication is the vehicle for successful projects. From the beginning to the end of a project, the project manager and team must plan, execute, and deliver the required products and services while interacting with stakeholders. What are you doing to improve your project communication? Project managers are not lone rangers. Projects involve interdependent relationships such as the sponsor and other leaders, the project manager and the project team, and users interacting with the systems.

Scrum Master Skills: Visualizing the Tuckman Model. “ A picture is worth a thousand words.” Probably, we have all heard that piece of wisdom before. In my experience, having some — even rudimentary — sketching or drawing capabilities is an essential Scrum Master skill.

Over the years, I have found a common need for many project managers is to create a task in their Microsoft Project schedule that spans the entire timeframe of the project, from the Start date of the project to the Finish date of the project. An additional need is to have the Duration of the task calculated automatically, so that if the project schedule slips, for example, the task will continue to span the entire timeframe of the project.

If you could look into a crystal ball and predict everything that would happen in the future with perfect detail, you’d be more than just a successful project manager. Unfortunately, none of us have that ability. Instead, we plan for and adapt to all the unknown circumstances life throws at us as best as we can. Fortunately, it is possible to predict potential scenarios based on our experience as project managers and human beings.

Here are a few highlights from a recent Lean Coffee with Dennis Stevens, where we discuss Agile scorecards, including the benefits, assumptions, and implications of using them to reach our Transformation goals.
