There’s never enough time when managing a project. That’s why we make schedules—to try and control time, just enough to get your deliverable by the deadline. But even the best laid plans tend to go awry, to paraphrase the poem. Project managers don’t have the luxury to quote poems to stakeholders when going off track. Changes in a project are common, but it’s the project manager’s responsibility to make sure that those changes don’t produce a negative impact on the project schedule.

During 2020, many of us didn’t have to ask to work remotely. It just happened. However, now that there are calls for office workers to hit their desks again, we have to consider if that’s the life we want. Let’s be intentional about how the ‘return’ to work happens – and I put that in quotes because like many people, I never stopped working. Remote work is the new normal: research from Owllabs shows that 30% of people work remotely full-time (and that was before the pandemic).

“Better roughly right, than precisely wrong”. Still plenty of teams use hourly estimates for complex work. In my experience this always hurts. I thought plenty was written on this, but maybe some summarizing of what I have learned over the years might help. Relative estimation: takes less time, focuses on team collaboration i.o. relying on individual expertise, we are better in relative estimation than absolute estimation, it helps drive cross-functional behavior, it enables output measures that

Dit is een veelgehoorde vraag van mensen die kennismaken met de Scrum Master rol. En ik merk dat ik het lastig vind om hier een antwoord op te geven. Natuurlijk, het gaat om het ‘continu verbeteren’ van menselijke interactie, vaardigheden, processen en technieken.

W hy try to get rejected? It all started when I heard stand-up comedian Emily Winter on the podcast Work Life with Adam Grant. Winter wanted to break into comedy writing and had challenged herself to get rejected 100 times in the course of a year. I decided to follow suit, at least until I had a better plan. . I created a spreadsheet called Top Rejections 2019 and began my journey towards rejection.
