Anyone who tells you, with 100 percent certainty, what 2023 will look like at the start of the year is bonkers. The best we can do is to recognize that the seed of each new year was planted in the previous year. If you want to know what your priorities should be for 2023, look at the way your world was at the end of 2022 and at the start of this year.

When the Agile Manifesto was created 21 years ago, software development, technology, and the world, in general, were different. Agile was first created in response to the frustrations around the traditional software development processes of the 1990s—years from idea to development to deployment—and the explosion of personal computing, meaning that software had to keep up, but it was struggling to do so.

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?

While there’s no such thing as the “perfect” project plan — studies show that mid-project scope changes are still one of the leading causes for project failure. But in a profession where change is inevitable, often the real reason for failure isn’t the scope change itself, but instead, it’s poorly managed scope changes. While it’s important to define your scope clearly, it’s equally important to have a plan for unplanned changes.

Resource planning is an essential step in project planning. Yet most project managers gloss over planning and allocating resources. Perhaps because: Clients don’t care a lot about resource plans. Involves dealing with other project managers and higher-ups in the agency. More practical to dive into the project tasks and milestones. Whatever the reason, without resource planning, you’ll end up with an understaffed, overworked project team.

Whether you have taken a foundational project management course which covered practices for predictive approaches or you were studying to take the PMP exam, you are likely familiar with schedule network diagrams. However, like many tools and practices in the PMBOK framework, just because we learn about them doesn’t mean we will use them. If you skip creating network diagrams, you could miss out on these benefits.

It’s no secret that culture can have a big impact on communication. Just think about how much harder it is to communicate with someone from a different country who doesn’t speak your language. But culture can affect communication even when everyone speaks the same language. Different cultures have different ways of communicating, and if you’re not aware of these differences, it can lead to misunderstanding and conflict.

It’s happened to all of us. Missing a meeting or an important task that comes up every week or month. Once we’re deep in our work, it can be hard to remember recurring tasks.

Over the last decade, automation has become the norm for most organizations. And if they aren’t fully automated, they are going toward becoming fully automated. DevOps automates the process that connects development to operations, and now that DevOps tools are easy to get your hands on, most people want to be able to say they’re doing it.
