What is the role of the project manager? The Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) says, "The project manager is the person assigned by the performing organization to lead the team that is responsible for achieving the project objectives (my italics)." Defining clear objectives and goals is the foundation of the project. Let's look at how to write SMART goals.

Writing code is like finding your path through a dark forest. Behind each tree can lurk a monster, a treasure or a pit. Or there is no path at all. You don’t know until you look. For me, this attitude encapsulates the essence of writing software empirically. A developer culture is one where this kind of thinking is enabled and encouraged. It values an empirical approach to every level of development.

Outlining the Purpose of Project Change Requests and Change Control Boards. Very few projects run exactly to plan. This happens for a number of reasons (one example is scope creep). The bottom line is that you should expect changes to happen! Integrated change control (ICC) is the process of reviewing all change requests, approving changes, and managing changes to deliverables with documentation.

Zig Ziglar once said, “Lack of direction, not lack of time, is the problem. We all have 24-hour days.”. Those two short sentences perfectly summarize the value of a project charter. While a calendar indicates how long your team has to get everything done, a charter plan shows everyone how to make the most out of their allotted time. It sets out exactly what the project will achieve so that you can make the smart and timely decisions that are crucial to success.

The map above illustrates a classic problem with the common use of 'velocity' as a metric. It is also a great illustration of the assertion I made in my previous article: A Scrum Team Increases Their Velocity by Doing Less Work. The popularity of that article has surprised me as it's been syndicated by numerous e-zines and blogs. I think it struck a chord but my explanation was rather academic — the image above simplifies the argument.

Stay Organised and Be Better Prepared. There are some things you might think are pre-requisites for working in marketing- creativity, able to work in teams, even a bit wacky at times. One trait in particular is that a person needs to be highly organised. Is being organised something that comes naturally or is it a skill that can be learned? I have worked in marketing for over 20 years now and each job I have had has meant juggling multiple projects at any given time and my love of a “to do

Scrum cumplió 21 años en 2016. Ya tiene edad legal para comprar alcohol en la mayoría de estados americanos. Y durante este tiempo ha crecido mucho. Con muchos cambios. Cuando en 2011, Ken Schwaber y Jeff Sutherland decidieron publicar la guía oficial de Scrum , lo hicieron atendiendo a un problema cada vez mayor: Cada profesional veía Scrum de una manera distinta y, lo que en su momento eran una serie de reglas, se convirtió en algo que quedaba a la más pura interpretación del profesional que l

TL;DR: Technical Debt & Scrum. If technical debt is the plague of our industry, why isn’t the Scrum Guide addressing the question of who is responsibly dealing with it? To make things worse, if the Product Owner’s responsibility is to maximize the value customers derive from the Development Team’s work, and the Development Team’s responsibility is to deliver a product Increment (at least) at the end of the sprint adhering to the definition of “Done,” aren’t those two responsibilities possibly ca
