Moving into the Agile way of working is a life changing decision. Don’t move to Agile because everyone is - IT’s a trend and everyone is working the Agile way and so should you- is the wrong way to approach Agile. Sometimes even client requests and management interest force team members to move. Changing overnight is tough especially when you have been comfortable working a certain way.

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?

If your ad agency produces video, you can probably already feel the bandwagon rattling as crowds pile onto it. Within the next 5 years, the pundits tell us, one-third of all online advertising spending will go towards online video production. As Jimm Fox points out, though, it’s not enough to have a video for its own sake. “Most companies today fail to tie strategic targets, and more important, accountability into the video production process,” he writes.

When the Agile software development methodology came into prominence in the early 2000s with its own Agile Manifesto, it changed how software companies managed their work mindsets and production processes. To put it mildly, it electrified the industry and started spawning unbelievable success stories. Eventually other industries realized Agile could be adapted to their own workflows.

Why pursue Agile certification? Perhaps your employer is requesting it, or you’d like to pump up your resume. Maybe you just want to learn more, or you’re getting ready to join an Agile team. Whatever the case may be, it’s important to note that you don’t necessarily need a certification to thrive on an Agile team. After all, credentials alone don’t make great programmers, project managers, or Agile practitioners — knowledge, skill, and experience do.

Planning is not enough. I never had a problem planning things or writing to-do lists. I like getting things done. It makes me feel accomplished. That doesn't mean I never fail my new ears resolution, in fact I do a lot. So, this year instead of writing more lists I took the time to understand why I fail them and how to set a goal. My lists are random, it’s a mixture of personal and professional goals.

Thanksgiving is that time when families come together to give thanks for all the good things that happened throughout the year. There’s turkey, conversations, overflowing food, and, boy, can there be drama.

Setting aside the joys of working from home and not having to commute, workers collaborating remotely have to deal with a lot of extra pain. The added pressure it places on their shoulders comes from the difficulty of creating immediate, visible value from afar.

Let’s face it, the Project Manager role isn’t easy. PMs have to stay on top of a million tiny details, all while motivating a group of overworked people to deliver on a tough deadline. It’s a juggling act that has spawned many horror stories. We thought it might be enlightening to tell five true stories — without mentioning names of course — in the hopes that you never, ever repeat what these Project Managers from Hell did to their teams.

Currently Wrike gives you the opportunity to duplicate folders so you can use them as templates for projects with a similar structure.

If you create recurring tasks for clients, work on series of similar tasks, or need to develop a project template from a single task, the new Duplicate task feature will save you hours on manual routine.

The SIPM community platform is still running and if you notice, it doesn't have ads running all over and run on its own merits. It's meant to be a platform that helps connect newbies in project management with the experts. As far as I know it's one of a kind. It's FREE. Word spreads just by word of mouth and if you like it, let your friend know. Recently there's been too many of fake sign ups and I think it's wrong on the part of those who are doing it.
