Creating a paradigm shift in an organization is a never-ending source of conflict. Leaders believe their new thinking will generate a positive outcome, yet others may be skeptical or have different visions they think are better. Yet the entire organization will likely embrace this new paradigm without much debate, and assume efficiency will lead to a reduction in cost and an increase in profits without actually modeling best case and worst case scenarios.

Thanks to the most recent issue of Tom Geraghty’s weekly Psychological Safety newsletter , I learned about a new model for how we consider safety and risk. He shared Eric Hollnagel’s work on resiliency in which two distinct mindsets were identified: Safety-I and Safety-II. A Safety-I perspective is a glass is half-full one – things go wrong and we can find assignable causes in people, process and tools.

A note from Elizabeth: At the moment, there is an AppSumo lifetime deal on Preceden, which is how I bought my license. Buying through AppSumo means no recurring fees and a long refund period if you try the tool and don’t like it. There’s very little risk, and at only $59, it’s worth giving Preceden a try! I’m glad I did. Sample project showing dates that are approximate.

Project portfolio management (PPM) is much more complex than project management. Why? Well, a project manager may be responsible for one project in the company. Whereas a project portfolio manager needs to keep an eye on all projects across the organization’s portfolio. This makes a project manager’s job much more complex as various priorities and teams across the enterprise compete for the same resources.

A while ago I was taking a walk with my partner Lisanne. A noisy flock of geese flew overhead in a messy V formation. We laughed at the amount of noise they produced. It all looked very chaotic. Then another flock flew overhead. It was a similar number of birds. But their formation was tight. And there was hardly any communication. Except for a few “gacks”, the flock effortlessly flew into the distance.

It’s project completion time. That’s the last step of the ‘traditional’ predictive (waterfall) project lifecycle, but even agile projects close. This is the time that project managers wrap up the work. You’re at the end of your project. Your timesheet has a few solitary hours left to book against this work. It feels like the end of an era, but it isn’t over just yet.

Here, the project manager is spoiled for choice. Some of the most common methods are, for example, the critical path method , Kanban, Scrum or Scrumban , which combines elements of the two previously mentioned methods.

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. Nevertheless, the prevailing cause of many messed-up attempts to use Scrum result from what I call agile micromanagement, a pseudo-commitment to agile principles only to be overridden whenever i
