With 2 plus decades experience in the project management and organizational development world, I am incessantly amazed on how a project is so closely linked the Project Sponsor, instead of the organization and the business goals it is set to achieve or influence. When the “why”, purpose of a project has been well documented and […]. The post RIP – Rest In Place Projects appeared first on Project Management Articles, Webinars, Templates and Jobs.

At White October we continuously reflect on our process to refine the way we work. Here is what we learned from an invaluable brainstorming session with our Tech Lead.

Lean management originated in Japan, where it grew out of the Toyota Production System. This led to lean manufacturing, but today lean is used in more industries, such as project management, software development, construction and more. Lean principles come from the Lean Enterprise Institute (LEI), where founders James P. Womack and Daniel T. Jones declared that there were five key lean principles.

If you manage an Agile team, your responsibilities don't only involve reaching an established goal but managing the project's timing. To plan effectively, you have to anticipate the unexpected. However, at least one thing will go astray in many cases, or something you didn't plan will happen. That's probably the worst nightmare for all project managers.

By David Daly. If you ask an executive why they want to adopt an agile approach, the chances are they will say they want to deliver things faster. Dig a little deeper, and you might find out that their goal is to reduce lead times (from asking for something to getting it). Or they may want to deliver more “stuff” in the same amount of time. This “need for speed” may be driven by having to keep up with (or overtake) competitors, or to respond more quickly to changing market demands.

A project action log is a document that lists all of the tasks that need to be done to complete a project. It can be helpful to keep this list in a central location so that everyone working on the project can easily see it and add their tasks. This can avoid duplication of work and help ensure that all tasks are completed on time. A project action log is an essential document that should be kept up to date for every project.

We recently discussed a case on our community Discord that concerned a team without proper Sprint Reviews, stakeholders, and increments. The first intuition of many Scrum Masters?—?including myself?—?was to host a Sprint Retrospective. But this leaves the reflection and the initiative for change entirely with the team. But why wasn’t the strategy to show our teams how to do a proper Sprint Review, and to get as many stakeholders into the room as possible, and then reflect on what that was or was

Most days for project managers can be fairly similar. But each day can also bring a new level of excitement depending on numerous factors. Constraints to your project plan often pop up, creating chaos that keeps you on your toes. And if you like to lead initiatives, there is plenty of room for that when managing complex projects. The daily life of a project manager can vary greatly for many reasons, such as: Project managers may manage competing priorities when there is poor alignment across the

A Cost-Benefit Analysis is a financial analysis that calculates the costs and benefits of an investment. It can determine whether it is worth investing in a particular project, product, or service. If the cost is high, but the benefit will bring greater returns than if you did not support it, it may make sense to proceed with this decision; however, if the cost outweighs any potential return on your investment, you should think twice about proceeding.
