A regular topic of conversation within my Scrum training courses revolves around commitments and forecasts when using the Scrum framework. Frequently we uncover significant and important misunderstandings about what Scrum Teams can commit to and what they cannot. The most often talked about example refers to those Product Backlog Items which are taken into a sprint by the developers and which then seems to turn into a hard commitment such that if not all those Product Backlog Items are done then

Just as we only look at the building and often neglect the foundation that supports it, the architectural design process is the bedrock of construction project management. It’s a lengthy process that follows the construction project from inception to completion. As the construction project unfolds, there may be external impacts, regulations and other forces in addition to internal forces.

TL; DR: Stakeholder Trust. Trust is the beginning of everything. I am hesitant to recycle an old slogan of a banking institute. However, in the context of becoming a learning organization and embracing business agility, it condenses the main challenge perfectly: How shall we convince the incumbents with vested interests in the status quo to give the new way of working the benefit of the doubt?

In the COVID recovery era, many people and organizations are no longer distinguishing between office-based, remote or hybrid work. Today, it doesn’t matter where you are located to perform project work. In the twentieth century, the means of production were fixed and immobile. Success used to be defined in terms of scope, scale, and efficiency. “While the twentieth century was the century of industrial conglomerates, the twenty-first century is the century of ideas.” 1 In the modern era, the mea

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?

Construction procurement can maximize the efficiency of a construction project. While construction project management includes all plans and schedules for the project, without the goods and services provided by procurement in construction, it’s only an idea and not a structure. The importance of proper construction procurement cannot be overstated as the process of getting those goods and services to the construction site efficiently can make or break the project.

It’s insufficient because the rest of the organization isn’t built to be Agile.
