Every project manager will need to inspire a project team at some point in their career. The reasons may range from having an over-challenging project to being appointed to recover a failing project. Or, the reasons may be less daunting, and things are just business as usual. Whatever the circumstances, as a project manager you’ll need to apply a wide range of leadership and communications skills to inspire a team.

Without Metrics you're just another guy with an opinion - Stephan Leschka, Hewlett Packard* I get it; and mostly, I agree with Mr. Leschka BUT, there are a few other rules: Don't measure -- meaning: don't invest the effort to collect and analyze -- that which you don't manage Don't measure the unmeasurable -- meaning, don't assign false values and dimensions to that which is fundamentally.

If you don’t think customer feedback is important, then you probably don’t have many customers. The relationship between a business and its customer base is the barometer of its well-being. If you’re losing touch with customers, then the business is in trouble. But the channels of communication between a business and its customers are often not clear.

In my career, I have had the great privilege to witness different companies undergo many different phases of agile transformations. I’ve met many amazing Scrum Masters along the way that have evolved to take on major responsibilities in their organizations.

If your company is working on Agile Transformation, understanding how you can track the organization’s response to change and the impact it’s having on business outcomes can be a bit daunting. It’s not so tough to track whether or not people have been trained and what practices they are using, but when it comes to understanding what people see, feel, believe, and desire, that can be harder to understand. .

Oh, no! Your Lead Dev just won an all-expenses-paid trip to the Bahamas. Your Project Manager finished an Ironman (the triathlon, not the movie trilogy) and won’t show up at work for a week. The ground starts shaking, your hands start sweating. It sure feels like all hell broke loose. FORTUNATELY, THOSE DAYS ARE OVER.

Regular retrospectives are a popular part of Agile development methodologies. In contrast, large strategic projects, that don’t use Agile, tend to only be reviewed during the closure phase, when it’s too late to course correct and feed the lessons back into the project. There are many advantages of reviewing a project regularly, throughout its lifecycle.

Designers field requests from diverse teams who all have their own processes, needs, and internal languages.
