By Harold Kerzner, Ph.D. The Contemporary Issue: Managing Potential Failure. One of the comments I make to senior managers during executive briefing sessions is as follows: “If all of your projects are completed successfully, you are probably not taking enough risk and not working on enough projects.” Walking the straight and narrow conservative path and working on projects that have a very high probability of success may result in missing valuable business opportunities that would c

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.

The best Scrum teams that I have worked with were supported by management leaders focused on removing impediments, providing resources, and promoting an agile mindset and culture that supports the Scrum values. It’s not an easy job. Making it more challenging are the agile leadership myths out there that can get in the way of being effective.
