Project managers put a lot of time and effort into researching the viability of their project. But all that work is pointless if they don’t communicate the purpose of the project to their team and clients. That’s why a kickoff meeting is so important.

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?

Your business operations are only as good as your ability to monitor and control them. For example, manufacturing teams would be lost without a controlling process that lets them measure and improve on their management function. The process of controlling in management is essential for any business to remain viable. When you monitor with software and control the process of your manufacturing, you’re able to see what works and what isn’t working.

Agile Transformation is a journey. And it starts exactly where the organization realistically is and works forward from that point. There are some thinking tools we can use to help us create some structure around the process of change to get us from where we are to where we want to be. To start, we will need a way to orient the organization toward our goals and understand why we’re making the decisions we’re making and what drives those decisions—what we call our Compass.

This post explores an old rule in strategy for stable industries, the Rule of Three and Four. It looks at the impact it has, when it applies today, and alternative, more adaptive approaches to PM and strategy in situations where the rule does not apply.

But that’s easy to ignore when you’re behind schedule, over budget, or getting negative feedback from stakeholders.
