In my experience, most project managers feel that they could ‘do’ lessons learned better. We all know that capturing lessons learned is an essential part of making sure that future projects go well, but sharing them seems to be something that we don’t feel we do particularly effectively. And it isn’t surprising – managing lessons learned properly is hard to do well on a project.

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?

Construction costs are one of many metrics that a general contractor has to keep an eye on. There are others, of course, such as the schedule, quality, safety and much more. But if the construction cost goes over budget, that’s coming out of the contractor’s pocket. That’s why construction cost management is so important. Knowing exactly what construction cost management means and what a construction cost is can be the difference between project success or failure.

Now we're getting somewhere! No less an Agile/Scrum eminence than Mike Cohn -- author of some really good books and articles -- has come out with a newsletter on -- are you ready for this? -- what's the meaning of DONE in Agile. His acronym, a bit a poor choice to my mind, is "DoD". Definition of Done. But, there you have it.

Agile needs to be tied to business-driven results. If not, then we start measuring things like people trained, teams doing Scrum, or the organization’s sentiment toward Agile to tell us if we’re succeeding. But, in the absence of measurable business results, none of that matters. Agile is all about the ability of an organization to deliver in small batches, get fast feedback from customers, and quickly respond to change.

That position is called a project executive. Of course, it’s more complicated than that, so it’s important to first define the term project executive and explain what that person does, including their main responsibilities.

Teams are more effective when they release more often. Of course, these releases also need to be valuable and useful to stakeholders. The aim of all Agile methodologies, such as Scrum, is to increase the release frequency of valuable outcomes to stakeholders. There are several reasons for this. The first is that higher release frequencies provide more opportunities for teams to validate their assumptions by inspecting done increments with their stakeholders.

Every journey starts with the first steps and every project with a plan.
