What is a kick off meeting? A kick off meeting is the first meeting you have as a project team. In reality, you might have an internal kick off meeting for just your in-house team resources, and then another one with the client, when you are ready to share project information with them (and if you have a client). If your project is in-house and you aren’t serving an external client, you will only need one.

“Everybody has their manifesto; let them talk their language, come to the people, and the people will decide” -- Prakash Raj. So where were you between February the 11th and 13th, 2001?

An Outline that Can Be Used for Tracking Progress. It could be said that communication is the oil that keeps a project running smoothly. Project managers (PMs) can spend up to 90 percent of their time on internal and external communications. Communication management includes project status tracking and reporting processes. A schedule for such should be defined at the start of any project.

Why is it that when the going gets tough, “agile” gets the blame? There is so much online bashing of [insert random agile framework or method] going on, that it made me wonder if there is a pattern behind it. I believe there is. Where did “agile” start? Agile is nothing new. The Agile Manifesto was drafted in 2001, distilled from new ways of working that were being practiced from the beginning of the 1990’s.

You’ve probably heard the expression “We’re flying by the seat of our pants.” In project management, we call it operating without a baseline. Many years ago, I had a boss who used to say that all the time. He owned a successful company, which encouraged him to try his success in other areas, few of which had anything to do with his background. I remember asking him if he really knew what he was doing, and he laughed.

I've called out the information overload behaviour we have of writing too much down in a training program, meeting or at a conference. We don’t need to write it ALL down. But we do need to write something. To all you ‘sponges’ reading this who sit in meetings and conferences thinking you can ‘soak it all up’, without actively capturing any notes. ummm you can't.

To handle the never-ending flow of information we face, it’s useful realising that the way we currently do things could be making it harder for us to take in information with ease.

Do you accept or reject your worth? I was reading how 'value’ is from French, Latin descent meaning ‘to be worth'. When mentoring people 1:1 and working with teams in organisations, this is a theme I see many of our issues and challenges originating from. And this worth or value isn't just price, salary, bonus or other monetary value. It’s about what you believe your time is worth, your ideas and contributions, what your skills and services are worth, your talents and expertise

we prevent people from experiencing our thoughts, ideas and purpose. Many of us spend so much time - err, waste so much time - in cycles of doubt and denial of our own ingenuity. ? When we say ‘I’m not creative’, we're in denial and doubt of our value. ? When we say ‘It’s not very good’, that's denial and doubt too. ?
