Two Wrikers helped host a #PMChat discussion on Twitter last Friday, where a community of project managers comes together once a week to discuss and share knowledge on various topics related to project management.

Shu-Ha-Ri is frequently used as a good model that shows how we adopt new skills. The general idea is pretty simple. First, we just follow the rules. We don’t ask how the thing works, we just do the basic training. That’s Shu level. Then we move to understanding what we are doing. Instead of simply following the rules we try to grasp why the stuff we’re doing works and why the bigger whole was structured the way it was.

As you may have heard, PMI is changing up the details of their Continuing Certification Requirements. This is the program that classifies how you earn your 60 PDUs to maintain your certification. The general process isn’t changing; there are just new limitations in the different categories. It varies per certification, but I’ll focus on PMP.

At Function Point, many of the creative agencies we talk to are searching for a project management software solution to replace the ad-hoc systems they have in place. A comment we often hear is that their workflow processes are becoming too complicated, inconsistent and time-consuming, plus there’s a lack of visibility into what is actually getting done.

I argued against multitasking a number of times. In fact, not that long ago I argued against it in the context of portfolio management too. Let me have another take on this from a different perspective. Let’s talk about how much we pay for introducing too many concurrent initiatives in our portfolios. I won’t differentiate here between product and project portfolios because for the sake of this discussion it doesn’t matter that much.

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?
Stepping Into Project Management

Most days are a mix of good and bad, some make you happy and content and confident and some are just bad decisions, moments that make you doubt your confidence. My effort to re-organize my life- personal and professional often turn out futile. I plan and re-plan and then suddenly something needs my attention and the plans out of the window. The buzz has rekindled itself.

The success or failure of a project can depend on efficient stakeholder management. Stakeholders include the project team getting work done, the project team’s managers providing resources and directions to the team, and anyone and everyone who could be impacted by the outcome of the project — whether they are the client, or a different team whose work depends on successful project completion.

“Sometimes the questions are complicated and the answers are simple.”. – Dr. Seuss. A good creative brief is the foundation of any successful project. No matter how complicated or simple the project, having a solid brief ensures you get started on the right track. Without a good brief, chaos ensues: the work doesn’t meet the client’s expectations; the studio is frustrated with the changing vision and constant revisions; the project ends up over budget.

Which made us think: for the companies that are struggling to implement a culture of collaboration, what are three easy hacks that could make it happen?
