Project intake can have its challenges. Project managers often receive project requests in various ways, like instant messages, email, phone, or even through conversation from the elevator to the office. It’s not uncommon that by the time a PM sits back at their desk to plan out the project, some details are either forgotten or information gets lost, which can negatively affect project outcomes.

It would be an understatement to say that project managers have had to deal with a lot of change this year. Projects have had their budgets vastly reduced or been cancelled outright, and remote work has become the norm rather than the exception.

“Reopening schools” has been the buzz phrase in the news recently and much of the rhetoric has revolved around economic impact, the safety of students, and the potential for increased Coronavirus outbreaks. But what’s really behind something that seems to be such a simple project — reopening classroom doors?

I have yet to meet an Agile practitioner who would say that the original Scrum idea and perfection vision it provides isn’t good. Would anyone refuse to have high-performing Scrum Teams being able to deliver value to the market? What I usually hear is “Scrum is great, but it doesn’t work in my organization, because.” and then follows a list of excuses why change is impossible or hard.
