A project manager’s role is broad. You have to be comfortable briefing executives while also feeling at home digging into the details of a problem with the team. You need to concurrently write high-level summaries and dive into complex reports to keep projects on track. I’ll be honest, the expectations of the role have broadened since I became a project manager.

If you’re not in construction, you might assume that projects start with bulldozers, front loaders and cranes rolling onto the site. Although this equipment may be used, preconstruction must take place before you break ground. As the name implies, preconstruction is the phase that occurs before the build, and it’s critical to the success of the construction project.

I confess that the first time someone told me that Scrum is based upon empiricism, I thought they were a little pretentious. After all, it’s a five-syllable word for a framework with only five events. Why make it so complicated? . But as I’ve coached more and more Scrum Teams over the years, I have learned that empiricism matters. It’s not just a fancy word; it’s the foundation of Scrum.

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?

In practice, managers use both styles and adapt them for their teams or their company. The transitions are fluid, and the optimal leadership behavior can vary greatly depending on the industry, project or corporate objective. In everyday life of a company, therefore, leadership cannot be categorized so easily. Nevertheless, in many situations it is worth consciously choosing one of the two options to achieve the best possible result.

TL; DR: Prisoners of Retrospectives. There are plenty of failure possibilities with Scrum. Given that Scrum is a framework with a reasonable yet short “manual,” this effect should not surprise anyone. What if, for example, not all of your Scrum team’s members feel enthusiastic about the Sprint Retrospective, the critical event when the Scrum team inspects itself?

Whether you call them Scrums, standups or huddles, one way to plan-as-you-go with an adaptive approach is to hold coordination events on a regular basis to ensure that everyone is working in an aligned manner and on the most important work. One of the more common topics for such events is to discuss the backlog of short term team work. But such discussions can be held in a few different ways.

When you think of impressive leaders , US-American CEOs like Elon Musk come to mind first. He is considered a prime example of a transformational leader. If we look at Germany, specifically at the DAX companies, we see a different picture: CEOs tend to favor a transactional leadership style. For example, Oliver Zipse, CEO of BMW AG, is less memorable than Musk because of his more rational style.

How many times have you heard statements such as, “This is not in my area of expertise”, “I don't know anything about it”, “That’s not my job”, “Ask another department” or “This is not what I studied for”? One might say that this is just their approach to gaining knowledge. It’s their style; to limit their scope of learning by concentrating on their specialism only, which doesn’t necessarily sound like a problem when speaking of experts in their fields, but what about organizations, products, an

If you’ve ever built a large LEGO set, you know that you need to have the right number and types of pieces available in the correct order to successfully create your masterpiece. If you don’t, you’ll waste time looking for the correct pieces or end up trying to fit a square peg into a round hole. Resource capacity planning is similar—before you start or even accept a new project, you need to evaluate capacity.

We all have a pretty good mental picture of what the workplace looks like when an important project flies right off the tracks.
