'Battling the 70% project failure rate' with David Miller_webinar slides 020413 Changefirst
It’s a well-known fact that 70% of projects fail to produce the benefits of the original business case.
In our work we see that this is caused by the people-side of change being left in the shadow of the technology changes required. Companies are left with a successfully installed system but with poor adoption rate by users.
In this webinar David Miller discussed:
1) How you can successfully integrate change management into your project management processes to help close the change gap and achieve a successful project
2) How project managers become really effective change agents
David Miller will describe how project managers can implement change more successfully in their organisations.
David will present the results of Changefirst’s work and research from the last 20 years. This work helps project and programme professionals learn how to optimise change performance on projects by understanding key success factors, risks to change success and improving implementation performance.

My presentation at UniCom Agile methods conference in Amsterdam at 14 Novembe...Rik Marselis
The main goal of IT is to create an increase in your Business Success. In Agile development various activities take place, such as requirements elaboration, design, development, testing and acceptance. Testing is often a separate phase, even in agile projects. Many people involved in IT think of testing as “a fact of life”. They don’t challenge its existence but just want it to be as cheap and quick as possible.
When stakeholders complain to me that testing takes too long or is too expensive I often have to explain to them that it is not the testing that takes so long but the fixing of defects and the subsequent retests (in a recent project we had an average of 6 retests!!). So I tell them that in their future projects they should rename the testing phase to the “fixing phase”.
As soon as I suggest this they say “hey, but we don’t want a fixing phase”. And that of course is true!
How can we get rid if this “fixing phase”? By doing all lifecycle activities right the first time so no faults will go forward. We must prevent defects from the start, not fix them at the end. This will ask for special attention in the collaboration of all people and artifacts involved, not only in the Agile team but also in the entire organization. Also this requires a focus on quality and risk from the very moment an idea for an IT-change arises.
During this presentation Rik elaborates on the vision on how to increase the business success by properly applying Agile principles, for example from the Scrum method.
The Objective of this Manifesto is to define guiding principles around the Customer-Supplier working environment with regards to working on Scrum projects. The assumptions made are
•The environment is customer-supplier (i.e. an outsourced environment)
•The environment is distributed and may not be co-located
•The environment involves multiple vendors
The Customers and Suppliers are integrated elements of a working environment in a project. The Customers and Suppliers will work together with a common goal and that is “Producing Value for the End Customer”. This manifesto supports the Agile Manifesto Value “Customer Collaboration over Contract Negotiation”.

Agile is simple to understand but difficult to implement and hard to master.
This is because many organisations start implementing Agile in a cultural context that is mostly non-Agile.
This creates a significant number of tensions and frictions that the teams adopting Agile have to deal with although they are often not fully aware of them. Darren will discuss the why, the what and the how.

The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.
