This is a guest post by Mike Griffiths. “Fun” and “PMP Exam” are rarely used in the same sentence. Too often, training materials are text-based, process-focused, and dry.

We recall facts about our favorite hobbies and sports teams much easier than boring information because our brains prioritize fun experiences for recall.

But as soon as there’s a slight tremble or a particularly strong gust of wind, everything can come crashing down. The same goes for projects. You need a strong foundation that can face any twist or turn that’s thrown your way.

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?

Manufacturing is the process of putting together a product. Yes, there are many other factors, such as costs, time, quality and more. But all of those concerns are tied to the bill of materials, which collects the pieces that’ll be used to build the final product. A bill of materials, however, is more than a mere list. If you’re manufacturing anything, then you need to know what is a bill of materials, what is it used for and the types of bills of materials you’ll find in production.

A question was posed on my Mastodon instance this morning about combining the roles of Product Owner and Agile Lead (e.g. Scrum Master). The requestor felt that this was a bad idea but wanted to get feedback on whether it was, in fact, possible to do so and under what conditions would it not cause problems. To answer the question, we need to understand the responsibilities of each role.
