How do you tell the difference between a good project and a bad one? Look at the project progress reports. Bad project reports – your team or client gets lost in pointless data, doesn’t know what work was done, and receives no insightful comments. Good project reports – your team or client sees critical data summaries, easy-to-understand insights, and an overview of the work done.

But the idea of time tracking and providing estimates likely has many negative connotations for your workforce. Some view time tracking as a way of micromanaging or holding team members firmly to their initial estimates. Some may consider this a lack of trust, where leadership needs to watch their every move.

This is a question I’m hearing quite a lot at the moment: How do I turn my company’s strategy into actual projects? It’s good to have a strategy, of course.

OK, you need the document first, as a communication tool to explain the strategy to everyone, but you know what I mean.

?????? This post continues my ongoing series revisiting the principles behind the Agile Manifesto. This time we are focussing on the following Agile principle – “Build projects around motivated individuals. Give them the environment and support they need, and trust them to get the job done.”. If you have a suitably motivated team, who are empowered, given sufficient resources and focussed on a shared goal, they will likely overcome almost any obstacle in their way.

Stability!It counts for a lot.It implies -- for behaviors and management decisions -- predictability, reliability, under-control (but not risk-free, of course), coherent narrative, steady-state goals, and a strategy that is understandable to those who have the job of implementing it.Perhaps you are aware, as many are, that stability requires feedback to effect error correction and trap excesses.
