Projects don’t just happen. There’s a lot of work before they’re approved, and once they have been given the go-ahead, there’s even more planning and scheduling needed! How do you communicate that information with stakeholders and the team so they understand the project? You use a project brief, an important document that outlines what the project is about, to do just that.

Grand ideas, visions are everywhere. Governments, businesses and NGOs have aspirational goals. However, the larger the goal, the higher the chance that the original intention gets lost while being passed through the structural layers of the organization. Risks, politics, personal agendas often subvert the original goal either by design or unwittingly, turning high impact outcomes into mediocre outputs.

A WBS dictionary is a complement to your WBS that conveys detailed info about each component. It’s one of the three pillars that support the scope management in your project: the other two are a work breakdown structure (WBS) and a project scope statement. These three components will give you the scope baseline for your project. Without a project scope baseline you can’t measure performance effectively, which puts your project in danger of going off schedule and beyond budget.

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?

Much of your project will be done in-house, but you’ll likely also contract with suppliers and others to deliver needed materials or services. How do you make sure that the goods are of the type you need, the quantity agreed upon and for the price that meets your financial constraints?

Imagine for a second that you are trying to start a project and you have all the details regarding the project management processes. They are noted down on a piece of paper lying somewhere in the empty recesses of your most important drawer. Everything that you can need for the whole project is noted down but there is no structure to it; everything is haywire, and also there is no visualization cue to support your client’s vision regarding workflow.

I've given the same advice to almost all of my clients -- "you need a clearer product backlog", "you're working really hard but you're not getting anything done", and "you need to cut scope, launch your product with a more focused scope, launch it, and then get feedback." . It's always seemed so simple to me: "Just do X, Y, and Z and everything's going to be perfect.

“Definition of Done(DoD)” is probably the most important aspect of Scrum.
