When they realized the new product wasn’t a resounding success, they stopped working on it and had to start again.

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?

We have many words to describe a project in trouble—from “things have gone sideways” or “off-the-rails” to more graphic descriptions like “crash and burn.” The military has been a source of some lovely descriptions like FUBAR and SNAFU.

They want to know: ‘How can I manage my time, in the busy context of a project?’ For most project managers, we have learned all sorts of tools for managing the project schedule.

Once you have released the click, you’ll have a task or a Gantt chart that starts and ends where you dragged and dropped it.

The many congratulations today reminded me of my most recent work anniversaries. April 2013, five years ago. I started Ullizee-Inc. It was a huge step to abandon my safe position at Capgemini, even when it was to move to the home of Scrum. April 2016, two years ago. Letting go of exclusively partnering with Ken Schwaber and working for Scrum.org was, if not just an even bigger step, certainly a more frightening one.

“I do not have the technical skill to become a software development project manager.” I hear this all the time. However, here is a catch. No one expects you, as a project manager, to write code or set up servers. You do need to know the software development process, what goes into creating software applications. So, in fact, you don’t need to have skills.

There’s a special state that every team is trying to achieve. It’s those magic moments when everyone has clarity, goals are being met, and the team as a whole is in perfect alignment. Athletes call this being “in the zone.” Techies call this being in “sync.” Psychologists call this “ flow.” The ability to get into and remain in flow is absolutely critical for creative teams.

In order to avoid the causes of failure, we need to look into the future at the uncertainties that create risk, which when unmitigated, become sources of failure. The processes that deal with uncertainties, resulting risks is Risk Management. .
