It’s Friday evening, 6:00 pm and you’re watching the clock while stuck in a meeting that feels like it’ll never end. Even worse, you have a bunch of tasks that haven’t been completed, invoices to file and reports to create. You’re so busy that in reality, you get nothing done. If this is your case, a personal kanban board could help you plan, schedule and track all these tasks so you can manage your workload without feeling overwhelmed.

I mentor project managers, and the types of problems that people come up with on calls are not technical issues for the most part. Mostly, people want to chat about other people. Or “resources” as we unkindly call people in project management. Stakeholders, project team members, the colleagues doing the actual work: these are all humans with their own To Do lists, objectives set by their managers and personal and professional goals.

Velocity is a complementary practice many Scrum teams use to plan future work. Here’s how it works: A team selects a point system and decides that certain types of work are worth one point and other types of work may be worth different point values. Every Sprint, the team adds up points for each Product Backlog item (PBI) that meets the Definition of Done by the end of the Sprint.

Everyone has the same amount of hours in the day so why is it that some people seem to achieve a lot and others don’t? Time management skills can help you work more efficiently and stay organized, whatever your role. If you’re in a leadership position, modeling good time management skills in the workplace can help others in the team build their own skills too.

For many nonprofit organizations and NGOs, managing grants and monitoring projects with spreadsheets and manual processes feels familiar—but is it holding your organization back?

Reflecting upon my own experiences, the journey to refining our workflow has been both enlightening and challenging. In the realm of agile development, we often find ourselves caught in the rhythm of managing tasks and visualising our work without pausing to question the efficacy of the underlying system. It's a gradual realisation that despite our best efforts, inefficiencies and blockages within our processes can severely hamper our progress and the value we deliver.

For project managers aspiring to become Scrum Masters, understanding the project management Team Performance domain in a different light is crucial. This domain, traditionally associated with the management of project teams, takes on a new dimension in Scrum.

Project managers are born communicators. According to some estimates , PMs spend 90% of their time communicating with team members, sponsors, and stakeholders. An executive summary is your secret weapon when it comes to project communication. Whether it’s a business case, project plan, or market analysis, an executive summary is a great way to get the project’s most important information across quickly and clearly.

This may cause poor time management, reduced productivity, and revenue loss. Time tracking software for architects can help avoid these issues with automatic timers, invoicing, and reporting features.

Do you remember the first year (or two) of the pandemic, when so many of us made the drastic switch to working from home? Companies went out of their way to plan remote activities, send snack boxes, and schedule Zoom happy hours. Keeping teams connected while we couldn’t see each other in the office was a top priority. Over the last few years, some workers have returned to offices, some have started hybrid working, and some have remained working remotely for the long haul.

While sourcing from a global talent pool opens you up to numerous benefits, including greater diversity and unique skill sets, the downside is that your perfect hire is likely based elsewhere. While you might find the ideal candidate by widening your net, you’ll also likely have to persuade them to uproot their lives if you want them to relocate to a specific office.
