Have you ever been in a meeting where one person dominated the conversation? I have. The person I’m thinking of was a senior manager. Very well respected and a lovely guy. But he hadn’t done a hands-on frontline job with customers for quite some time. The meeting was to discuss processes. The people who did the processes were there. But they didn’t contribute as much as I thought they should.

TL; DR: Agile Micromanagement. There are plenty of failure possibilities with Scrum. Indeed, given that Scrum is a framework with a reasonable yet short “manual,” this effect should not surprise anyone. For example, the Scrum Guide clearly states the importance of self-management at the Scrum team level.

Planning is an essential part of what project managers do, so you would expect there to be some mention of how to deal with fixed date projects in the PRINCE2® manuals. There isn’t.

The 2022 F1 season has introduced a new array of aerodynamic rules. The cars look and behave vastly differently compared to last year’s and that poses both challenges and opportunities for Formula teams.

The leadership style that the leaders adopt during engagement is critical in gaining team member support for building a positive thinking team. The challenge is in deciding whether to adopt an engagement focused leadership style that emphasizes human behavior characteristics such as personalities, or to a task-oriented leadership style that focuses on the work needed to be performed and the tools to be used.

Most of my Professional Services colleagues don’t utilize project management software. Why? Some aren’t aware it exists and have never tried it before. Others think the time investment to learn a new software program isn’t worth the value it could provide. . In my 10+ years of working in professional services, it’s always been a pain point to juggle multiple priorities and projects with various deadlines and resource constraints across teams.

Generating an accurate estimate is one of the crucial aspects of job management, leading to successful project execution. Not only do estimates help you win new business, but they also determine the project budget, manage resources, focus on schedule, and ultimately deal with invoicing.

„Wie kann ich mich auf die PSM-3-Prüfung vorbereiten?“. Diese Frage erreicht mich in letzter Zeit häufig über LinkedIn. Die meisten erwarten nun eine einfache Antwort auf diese einfache Frage. Am liebsten noch in Form eines Kochrezepts. Bereite X vor, füge Y hinzu, dreimal umrühren und einmal aufkochen et voilà. Fertig ist das PSM-3-Zertifikat. . Vor einigen Jahren habe ich die PSM-3-Prüfung mit mehr als 90 % bestanden.

I've written a couple of books on project value; you can see the book covers at the end of this blog.One of my themes in these books is a version of cybernetics:Projects are transformative of disparate inputs into something of greater value.
