Have you ever been asked to ‘just get the project done’? When you absolutely have to hit the deadline but your schedule says no, you really only have a couple of choices. Research from nPlan of 500,000 project schedules points to nine out of every 10 projects are delivered late.

Unfortunately, there are significant differences between understanding the concepts and being able to apply them. For several decades, project managers have managed mainly traditional projects that were initiated with well-defined requirements, a business case, and even a statement of work.

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?

In a recent Scrum.org webcast (1) I mentioned that Scrum by its nature, assumes psychological safety exists in order for Scrum as a practice to function. Furthermore I would assert that for Scrum to be truly successful Scrum absolutely requires psychological safety to be established both inside and outside of the Scrum Team. . My feeling is that within the Scrum Guide, psychological safety is an implied practice, not explicitly mentioned nor referenced as an essential element.

While it can be challenging, creating project code names is a meaningful task that you and your team will value.
