Dear Elizabeth: I work in a technical team as a project manager. We do a lot of projects that are innovative (for us), and my development colleagues always seem reluctant when it comes to project planning. They won’t give me timescales that will help me plan. How do you deal with a team that refuses to estimate how long tasks will take? I’m getting tired of hearing, “It depends.” It depends on what?

Validation and Verification: traditionalists know these ideas well. Do they still have relevance in the Agile space? My opinion: Yes! Traditional V-and-V: the way it is Traditional projects rely on validation and verification (V-and-V) for end-to-end auditing of requirements: Validation: the requirements ‘deck’ is validated for completeness and accuracy.

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.

When I first wrote Collaboration Tools for Project Managers the publishers put ‘Elizabeth Harrin, PMP’ on the cover. I had to get that taken off – I’m not a PMP, although I feel very familiar with the PMBOK Guide ® concepts. It’s simply something I’ve never got round to doing. I might at some point in the future, especially if I can hang on to Jack Risos’ book Ace the PMP Exam (3rd ed, updated for PMBOK ® – Sixth Edition).

Everyone is familiar with Google and their unfathomable success, but few are familiar with how Google achieved that success. The secret to Google’s astronomical rise was a goal management technique called OKR, an acronym that stands for “Objectives and Key Results.” OKR is used to track progress as teams move towards achieving objectives that are ambitious and in alignment with the entire organization.

A few months ago, I rekindled my enjoyment of the game of pool after having played it sporadically over the past twenty years. I find something soothing about the clickety-clack sound of balls ricocheting off one another and relish the challenge of figuring out which shot to play to sink a ball and line up my next shot or if I miss, at least prevent others from making their shots.

Project managers have helped us manufacture automobiles, build skyscrapers, and develop the technology tools that we use daily. With such strong roots in the built and tech environments, at first glance it doesn’t appear the project management is relevant in the creative world of design, where ideas are developed instead of SUVs and apps. This assumption could not be more wrong.
