I’m not sure if I would want that, but I do love the simplicity of it. And then I log into my PM software and suddenly that simplicity that exists elsewhere disappears… Here are my wishes for the PM software industry for 2020. 1.

Project scope—it’s a moving target and one you want to get a bullseye on before you map out your project. Defined as the sum of all resources, deliverables, features, and tasks within a given project, your project scope is the boundary in which your entire project exists. But to even begin to define that, you’ll need to dive a little deeper and outline the project scope to better define the business objectives, deliverables and more in order to get buy-in from key stakeholders.

Originally posted on [link]. About 10 years ago I became part of a Scrum Team. It was my very first experience with Scrum. During these first few months I never heard anyone mention "Sprint Goal".

And I will make a case why the Sprint Goal should take center stage in any Sprint.
