For most development teams and startups, ‘becoming Agile’ starts and ends with how you build software. But a full Agile transformation isn’t just about the development process you use — it’s a way to bring creativity, innovation, and lean operations to every aspect of your business. There are massive benefits to becoming an Agile organization (which is why companies like PayPal, Spotify, and Adobe have all undergone Agile transformations).

This article addresses the question, when can a decision no longer be changed? Everything we do results from a conscious or unconscious decision. When it comes to anything important, it is better to make firm conscious decisions. In projects, changing decisions about objectives, requirements, designs, staffing, and vendor selection is disruptive and costly.

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?

A while ago I was taking a walk with my partner Lisanne. A noisy flock of geese flew overhead in a messy V formation. We laughed at the amount of noise they produced. It all looked very chaotic. Then another flock flew overhead. It was a similar number of birds. But their formation was tight. And there was hardly any communication. Except for a few “gacks”, the flock effortlessly flew into the distance.

A note from Elizabeth: At the moment, there is an AppSumo lifetime deal on Preceden, which is how I bought my license. Buying through AppSumo means no recurring fees and a long refund period if you try the tool and don’t like it. There’s very little risk, and at only $59, it’s worth giving Preceden a try! I’m glad I did. Sample project showing dates that are approximate.

Construction delivery methods matter. They are the means by which a construction project gets from idea to completion. That’s a long and complicated journey in construction project management, which is why knowing the best construction delivery method is so important. You can’t reach the end of your project if you’re not sure of the steps to get there, and construction delivery methods outline those steps.

Why the partnership of technology and people bring more than one benefit. As defined by Professor Leigh Thompson of the Kellogg School of Management, “a team is a group of people who are interdependent with respect to information, resources, knowledge and skills and who seek to combine their efforts to achieve a common goal.” But that is perhaps a somewhat outdated definition these days.

Are you thinking of hiring remote developers? In this era of technological advancements and seismic shifts in the working culture, remote work has gained immense prominence. However, skepticism and confusion remain. It can be especially tough if you are used to celebrating together after the completion of a complex project. Apart from this, the inconvenience of disputes or miscommunication raises a red flag.

In construction, there’s so much that takes place before the build begins. First, there’s a site analysis to put the building in context. Then there’s the schematic design, which is a rough drawing of the project’s basic features and cost estimates. But the schematic design is only one phase in the architectural design process. It’s not the same as a concept design, but we’ll get to that later.

They are hired into an operations or business function and one of the many roles they have is to run projects in parallel with their BAU work.

For example, what if there is no Sprint Goal — Sprint after Sprint? What if the Scrum team is always only working on a random assortment of work items that seem to be the most pressing at the moment of the Sprint Planning?
