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.

Over the past decade, companies have embraced innovation with enthusiasm—Chief Innovation Officers have been hired, and in-house incubators, accelerators, and co-creation labs have been launched. CEOs have spoken with passion about “making everyone an innovator” and the need “to disrupt our own business.” But after years of experimentation, senior leaders are asking: Is this still just an experiment, or are we in it for the long haul?

Projects are risky, and project managers seek to reduce that risk. There are many ways in which they can do this, from a risk assessment to researching historical data on like projects and thorough planning. While issues inevitably arise in any project, the more they can be identified and controlled, the less they’ll be a problem. But what about the whole project?

What is a Scrum Master? What are the differences between a Scrum Master and Project Manager? Isn’t a Scrum Master some kind of an Agile Project Manager? These are some of the questions we often get from people in our Scrum.org classes. Before we dive into an overview of the differences between a Scrum Master and a Project Project Manager, let’s start with the conclusion, which is: The Scrum Master is not an Agile Project Manager.

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

In this second post out of three I will focus on what the most common mistakes are with Scrum that lead to dysfunctional Scrum.

The better team members know their roles and responsibilities, the better a project is going to run. Therefore, communicating role distinctions early on in the project is crucial. But how can a project manager make those definitions clear and obvious to the team? There’s a tool called RACI, or a RACI chart or matrix, which helps to define project team roles and responsibilities.

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.

One the questions I get asked during almost every Scrum Master training course is "How do I get the team to engage in the Sprint Retrospectives?". Quite often the feeling within Scrum Teams is that once nothing is broken and the team is meeting their forecasts, there's "nothing to talk about". So I've been thinking about this and how the conscious competence matrix might be a useful model when thinking about.

Time tracking in project management has been the subject of intense discussions for some years now. The reason: This is not only about recording basic working time, but rather about booking time for specific tasks. The aim of the companies is to subsequently compare estimated and booked expenses and thus optimize processes and workflows. In doing so, many project members fear that this granular time recording makes it possible to compare the efficiency of resources.
