When the Agile Manifesto was created 21 years ago, software development, technology, and the world, in general, were different. Agile was first created in response to the frustrations around the traditional software development processes of the 1990s—years from idea to development to deployment—and the explosion of personal computing, meaning that software had to keep up, but it was struggling to do so.

While there’s no such thing as the “perfect” project plan — studies show that mid-project scope changes are still one of the leading causes for project failure. But in a profession where change is inevitable, often the real reason for failure isn’t the scope change itself, but instead, it’s poorly managed scope changes. While it’s important to define your scope clearly, it’s equally important to have a plan for unplanned changes.

Resource planning is an essential step in project planning. Yet most project managers gloss over planning and allocating resources. Perhaps because: Clients don’t care a lot about resource plans. Involves dealing with other project managers and higher-ups in the agency. More practical to dive into the project tasks and milestones. Whatever the reason, without resource planning, you’ll end up with an understaffed, overworked project team.

Whether you have taken a foundational project management course which covered practices for predictive approaches or you were studying to take the PMP exam, you are likely familiar with schedule network diagrams.

It’s no secret that culture can have a big impact on communication. Just think about how much harder it is to communicate with someone from a different country who doesn’t speak your language. But culture can affect communication even when everyone speaks the same language. Different cultures have different ways of communicating, and if you’re not aware of these differences, it can lead to misunderstanding and conflict.

DevOps automates the process that connects development to operations, and now that DevOps tools are easy to get your hands on, most people want to be able to say they’re doing it.

When it comes to decision making, we often think that we are rational beings. However, there is a lot of research that suggests otherwise. The framing effect is a cognitive bias that can lead us to make different decisions based on how information is presented to us. For example, imagine you are considering two job offers. The first offer pays $50,000 per year, and the second offer pays $60,000 per year.
