How To Really Run Your Project in 2010s Get Stuff Done Series
Most Tools and Methodologies are stuckin 90s, 00s eras  Ineffective for managing today’s projects
Not because lack of amazing features But because we change  the way we work
Technologies are adopted at  accelerated pace
A few examples… 400millions 150thousands applications on iPhone 50millions tweet a day Location Based Services are gaining momentum 100millions a day video views 200million web sites
4.6 Billion Mobile Subscribers  ..and growing rapidly that’s 2xthe size of Internet users
You mix work and personal digital life “I posted my proposal last night from home” “I shop online at work”  “I watched baseballduring lunch”   “I tweet about my work”
Will worksurvive  all these disruptions?
Context Switching  is harder than you thought
A typical work cycle Disruptions Texting Easy Work Outlook/ Blackberry  Browsing Web Hard Work Someone sends links to Videos, Pictures
If you can’t beat them jointhem
Service must be accessible  from the places people  spend time
Minimize Context Switching Fun, Effortless update project status from phone Shared with users on Twitter/Facebook upload files from email gets notification via SMS
Write here Conciseness
Can you express your thought in  140 characters or less?
50 million  status updates  per day prove just that
Yes, writing concise, brief message requires effort
Heard on the street “ Sorry that I'm writing you this lengthy email, because I'm too lazy to write a concise one
But, why do we  want do to this?
Information Overload Email SMS IM RSS Feed
People are in constant triaging mode,  long messages will be pushed  aside for a later triage(which may not happen) What is the urgency? Who is important? What is it for me? Address just for me?
You’re an artist The Art of…
Shift Happens 2010 and beyond,  Building a product is  more of an artthan science
In the past two decades,  People around the world are contributing for others to use or improve …and the pace accelerates
Tools are getting better,  much better, actually
Consumers, businesses expect  much more from your new products  Wow me!
How many times you revise  your project plan? Is it a game just to please the management? Do people bother to update number of hours?    Do people write project update?
We obsess with thesenumbers because we think we can measure the progress Really?
Why do people feel  a project management is  unnecessarily complex?  What is it for me? Why do I have to estimate the  work I don’t know? Geez, for the fourth time  we revise the schedule again?
Let’ssimplify
Get your team addicted to POT Progress Ownership Transparency *Focus on 3 critical team behaviors on productivity
Based on  Andy Harjanto’s proposed simplifications http://www.slideshare.net/Guppers/3-simple-habits-of-a-highly-effective-team
Progress Frequent, small wins are much preferable  than a long-fought big win
Labeling work with priority is highly subjective Use a 2 bucket system  Progress today · not today this month · not this month this week  · not this week
Short 30 minute daily meetings to  Celebrate  accomplishment √ √ Review new work Assign ownership √
Ownership Be CEO of something Hello I’m Tim
There is one and only one owner of each work But others can help, or owner delegates Ownership You’ll be surprised of what one can do I see the problem I own the problem I solvethe problem
In this fast moving world,  Design by committee is not the best route  Did you know?  Most of our decisions is irreversible.
Heard on the street the fear of making decision, the obsession of perfection are the enemies of making any progress, even if the wrong progress.  “We spent 1 hour meeting with 12 people to change the color of our landing page. We’re pretty democratized”  Anonymous
Transparency “Out of the loop” is not an excuse anymore
Online Users Are Used To Transparenciesfor Years Self-Expression Social-Circles Broadcast Yourself Sharing Content Present Yourself Sharing Pictures Your Story
Instant Notifications Connected  Self-Reporting Breaking News Help Others Low cost distribution The results are undeniable  Immediate Feedback Knowledge Sharing Engaging Quick Answers Mobility
But, Transparency a foreign concept in workplace
What’s wrong with these pictures?
Low value information consumed  by many with great interest
Yet, high value information is hard to find in the work place x No one notice until  they visit the server  John just copied and shared  a document to a server
Sure In some cases, you also want privacy Privacy Intellectual Property Internal Strategy Human Resource
Transparencycan also be applied over  group, a network of friends to achieve some level of privacy
Great! Let’s  Get Stuff Done How?
