I thought it is about how an organization responds to change and wanted to understand what agile means. I tried to go a little deeper to help everyone understand: –. What is agile – I asked everyone what it means to them. Got responses like “being flexible,” “respond faster,” “move quickly,” and “adapt to change,”.

If you have a video call where no one says, “Is everyone here? Can you hear me?” did it even happen? Since Toggl went fully remote back in 2015, most of our meetings have been over video. So we can safely say it is totally possible to build and run a global company without ever putting on pants. Actually, putting on pants makes it more difficult, because it wastes precious time and energy.

If you had to get a lot of information across to someone. how would you do it? If you had to explain a complex thing or a detailed project or the purpose of something, how would you do that? We usually start with words, the verbals. Now that many more of us are in online training, meetings and workshops more frequently, it’s becoming clear we need to use tools that go beyond the ‘blah blah’ of talk.

Projects start when a business case or a benefit gets established. No project will start without a benefit realized. . Along with the purpose of the project, a project won’t start without authorization. The person or group who authorizes a project could be the CEO or even a night shift supervisor. In a start-up company, the sole proprietor authorizes themselves to start a project. .

Some companies have already been used to the remote culture, with employees scattered around the globe, and everyone working (mostly) from home. For those of us who had an office to go to, the past few months brought changes to everyday life. Shifting from a chat by the coffee machine to a chat platform, and FROM SITTING ALL TOGETHER IN A CONFERENCE ROOM TO SITTING AT HOME ON A CONFERENCE CALL has not been easy for everyone.

No it’s not. The experience of online isn’t the same as face to face. Working remotely isn’t the same as working alongside others in the same location. The pasta isn’t exactly like your favourite restaurant. The marketing you’re doing isn’t the same as last time. If things aren’t the same as we expected or hoped, we just need to adapt.

Microsoft Project was one of the first project management software solutions in the marketplace –- it’s been around since 1984! It was the first software to provide specific tools for project managers. MS Project is a complex, robust software with all the bells and whistles.

In times of doubt, uncertainty and change, there can be situations where we just don’t know what to do next. So it can be helpful to just do something. To get going and get into motion or momentum. To start. Changing direction or shifting while you’re already in motion is much easier than trying to get going from a standing start. When I don’t know what to do, I just do something. anything. to get me into motion.

The COVID-19 pandemic has forced many parents to work from home with no time to adapt or prepare. We recently wrote about how to minimize distractions in your workplace but add children and closed schools to that equation and the odds are stacked up against you. Being a parent, the value of your time goes through the roof. If you are additionally working from home, managing your family time, work time and personal time can become a difficult and stressful task.

The overwhelm of back to back meetings is real. So. Much. Content. Words and questions and people and ideas and still more meetings. Our cognitive load takes a beating as we shove more information in to our already overloaded brain. It’s hard work. In between meetings is the ideal time to pause, review, move and have a kind of ‘reset’, ready for the next meeting.

When we’re faced with a problem or challenge, things may not work the way we’d like them to. We can become frustrated about that; we might complain, wish it were perfect, give up or. we can explore our ingenuity. Ingenuity is our very own Department of Clever. Ingenuity is when we’re resourceful, using what we have. It’s how we fix or juggle things and make them work.

As information flows and bounces around, back and forth between people in a team, how are you helping to weave it all together? These interlacing and interconnected threads of data, opinions, ideas and decisions need to be brought together. Not everyone sees what is obvious and not everyone is able to make the connections of information that help us make progress.
