Before you can accomplish your goals, you need to plan how to reach them. A work plan creates a clear path to those desired outcomes. Along that path will be resources, constraints and other elements that need to be identified. Of course, the work plan won’t be written and initiated by a single person. It’s a plan of action for a project that should eventually be submitted to board members and stakeholders for approval.

The following article is the first of four in a series on ‘Project Business’ and is authored by Daniel Bévort. I have long commented on, and grumbled about if I am honest, that most project conversations talk about internal projects and not external, client facing, business oriented projects – both of which are important but with the latter representing most of my personal career experience.

There are many ways in which they can do this, from a risk assessment to researching historical data on like projects and thorough planning.

Have you ever wanted a superpower? Maybe the power to look through meeting room walls? Or to teleport yourself between locations to support your virtual team? Personally, I’d settle for knowing what my team were doing without having to constantly chase – perhaps that’s some kind of mindreading superpower. You don’t need a superpower to supercharge your project.

In 2013 I wrote an article about the advantages and disadvantages of contract project managers. Competent agile coaches have been in high demand for many years due to the large number of companies across multiple industries who are going through agile transformations. Scrum asserts that the role of the Scrum Master includes coaching activities and this is fair in small contexts, but in larger organizations early in their journeys to greater agility, a Scrum Master is likely to find they have lim

I’ve been doing some research for my new book and I’ve been struck by how many people are writing about ‘the future of work’. But so many things that are referenced as ‘the future’ are already here. AI, automation, robotics – these are all things that exist in the tools you probably already use. You might not know it, but those capabilities have been around for long enough now that they are already embedded in the way you use consumer-based products.

“ … the only thing we have to fear is…fear itself. ” When FDR spoke those words as part of his presidential inaugural address in March 1933, it was meant to inspire a nation to recover from the depths of the Great Depression. But looking at global reactions to the new 2019-nCoV Coronavirus, I wonder if it would have been better stated as the only thing we have to fear is our reactions to fear itself.
