As a teenager who had an eclectic taste in music, one of my hobbies was attempting to create the perfect mix tape to fit the theme of different activities I would do such as studying, working out or just relaxing. So how about project management? To quote Barney Stinson: “Challenge accepted!” Can I Play With Madness (Iron Maiden): You know those projects where it seems no one has a clue about what we are trying to achieve?

A product manager often wears many hats. For starters, a product manager is tasked with leading a cross-functional team that develops or improves a product, while dictating its strategy, roadmap and features. But that’s not all. They can also be involved with the marketing, forecasting, profit and losses of the product. Therefore, they must have a deep understanding of the market and target audience for the product in order to develop a successful plan.

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?

Project management creates a lot of documents — let’s not pretend it doesn’t. However, you don’t need ALL the documents to do your projects. Pick and choose the templates that work best for your project. Finding the right templates can sometimes be overwhelming. If you’re searching online for project document templates, it’s hard to know if you are finding quality files or things that will be relevant to your projects.

Is customer development important? The short answer is yes, of course! No business can survive without a loyal customer base that uses its product or service. But customer development is more than just a customer base. It’s one of the three foundations of a lean startup: business model design, agile engineering and customer development. Customer development is the formal process of identifying potential customers and figuring out how to meet their needs.

The move from technical expert to leader is a big jump for many people. And the work you do as a subject matter expert is very different from how you manage a project or lead a team. Many people get promoted – or think they get promoted – because they’re technically very good in a role. That doesn’t have to mean IT skills. Any subject matter expert who is detailed, personable and demonstrably good at their job can jump up into a leadership role.

The purpose of Scrum is to create a potentially releasable Done Product Increment, in order to realize business value. Many teams struggle in improving their Definition of Done. The technique described here allows for greater transparency on what the Definition of Done is, and what the next steps are.

Retrospection is key to understanding and self-awareness. At work, and in life, it’s important to take time to reflect and evaluate our progress , so we can better understand our motivations, our goals and our environment. Scrum, an agile framework for small teams, especially harnesses the benefits of retrospection.

Organizations tend to do strategy top down and they tend to do that uninformed about organizational capacity and dependencies. A primary cause of an organization’s lack of predictability, lack of quality, all the problems they have, is the inability to balance capacity and demand. Another is the inability to identify and manage dependencies. The portfolio team has to be able to participate in this discussion: What is the capacity of my system?

Common concerns and questions I hear include: "Developers aren't really interested in the user, they just want to build.". "I'm trying to work side-by-side with the team, but I'm always a bit ahead of them, so what should we talk about in our Daily Scrum?".

But when deciding which initiatives to pursue and how to allocate limited resources among them, organisations often don’t choose well. All business initiatives are achieved through projects, so assessing and ranking these projects in order of importance to the business strategy give organisations the confidence to embrace risk.
