As a project leader, you’re faced with the mammoth task of being the intermediary between clients and your team. As such, you must ensure that both parties are happy with the way the project is going. One particular area that clients and project teams tend to be at loggerheads is that of project deadlines. Sometimes clients want their projects completed in unrealistic time frames, while project teams want as much time as possible to produce the best results.

The power of a simple to-do list can take your productivity to new heights. With them you can organize all the work that needs to be done for your project and strategize a way to tackle it.

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?

Can you believe the Agile Manifesto has been around 20 years? What astounds me is that it’s in my lifetime: in my working career, actually.

As the 20th anniversary of the signing of the Agile Manifesto has arrived, it makes me look back at how the world has changed over the past 20 years and what it may look like over the next 20. . First and foremost, the use of Agile has grown well beyond software. Some may argue that it has always been bigger than software, however, that was the original focus of the Agile Manifesto, just look at the title of the Manifesto, “ Manifesto for Agile Software Development ”.

Projects are prone to change. There might be inclement weather that causes delays, stakeholders with changing expectations or supply chain issues that strain your schedule and budget. Change is almost certainly going to occur, so how do you manage it and keep your project from going off the rails? The answer is by using a change request form. Capturing the change, defining it and then having it authorized or rejected keeps the scope of the project in check.

How do we decide what’s most valuable to the organization, and then how do we make trade-offs with scarce resources to pull from to achieve our most valued goals? . To figure out how to deal with this and find the answers, we need some sort of governance model. Governance speaks to how we coordinate and manage the flow of work, decompose requirements, and make prioritization decisions and economic tradeoffs—all in the face of uncertainty. .

A project is nothing but a set of tasks. Project teams execute and complete tasks to deliver projects. That’s why a project task list is the foundation of any project. Tasks are nothing but the activities you need to execute to deliver a project. Big tasks are difficult to estimate and execute. On the other hand, make them too small, and you’ll end up micromanaging a project.
