This document discusses project management. It defines a project as having an objective, schedule, and budget. It notes that real life projects are not always so clearly defined. It introduces the obligatory triangle of time, cost, and scope/quality as constraints on projects. The document outlines some of the key responsibilities of a project manager, including people skills, planning, risk management, and maintaining perspective. It discusses traditional and agile project management methodologies and some of their benefits and limitations. Finally, it provides some laws and principles to keep in mind, such as Hofstadter's Law, Murphy's Law, and Parkinson's Law, and recommends further reading on project management topics.

Systems + Processes for Creatives – WordCamp Philadelphia 2017Lauren Pittenger
The document outlines a process for creatives to develop websites in a systematic way. It discusses how systems and processes can provide roadmaps, help teams work efficiently, and ensure consistency across projects. A sample website development process is presented, including steps for discovery, research, wireframing, design, and development. The process involves gathering information from clients, creating sitemaps, tech specifications, visual mockups, and templates before development and content population. It encourages creatives to establish their own processes by learning from past challenges and tailoring approaches to different project types, while acknowledging that changing habits can be difficult.

The document discusses the Tiny Spec conference in Pune, India and encourages sharing experiences on social media using the hashtags #TinySpec2019 and #spcPune. It also contains information about the Slack platform launch in 2015 and growth of the platform since then. Key points include over 12 million daily active Slack users, 600k+ developers building on Slack, and over 90% of paid customers using Slack apps. The document also discusses new features for building Slack apps like the app toolkit, granular permissions, and the app home tab.
The document discusses the Getting Things Done (GTD) methodology for project management. It explains the five core steps of the methodology: capture, clarify, organize, reflect, and engage. The methodology focuses on capturing all tasks and projects, organizing them into lists and projects with defined next actions, and regularly reviewing and updating lists.

How to Host a Successful Agile Stand-up Meeting.Rod Sherwin
The stand-up meeting is considered an important agile practice but why is it so important and how to you get started with this unusual meeting format? When you watch experienced teams run a stand-up, it seems so easy but what are the secret ingredients to hosting a great stand-up meeting? How do you move from the usual 1-hour snore fest status meeting to a short, sharp, engaged, active and valuable ritual? I use the Host Leadership metaphor to help to think about all the aspects needed to run a successful standup meeting.
Rajiv Narula discusses how adopting an agile culture is more difficult than just implementing agile processes. He argues organizations should focus on changing how employees think rather than just changing processes, and addresses some common anti-patterns like only wanting to hear good news that can prevent creating an effective agile culture. The presentation closes by emphasizing agile is a way of life that organizations must fully adopt through cultural change rather than just implementing new processes.

Everyone says "I understand Agile", but do they really?
Based on 5 years of people telling me the understand Agile I started to think would could it mean when someone says that.
What I realised is that there has been a mindset shift about how companies work, and Agile (in it's strictest definition) is just a part of that.
This document contains inspirational quotes and reflections on topics like happiness, habits, courage, commitment, wisdom, and achieving goals. It encourages the reader to expand their imagination, honor their commitments, and constantly improve by doing tomorrow what others will do later. The overarching message is about living purposefully and reaching one's full potential through positive thinking, personal growth, and never stopping the journey of learning and self-improvement.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive function. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms.
As healthcare and service professionals, it is our responsibility to take care of ourselves, in order to better and more fully serve our clients. When we are healthy & well, we are more able to be present and attune to the needs of those we are treating. This presentation was given during the Kaiser Permanente (Los Angeles) Family Medicine Retreat, October 2014.
The document discusses how aging impacts the kidneys. As people age, their kidneys undergo structural and functional changes such as loss of mass and function, granularity on the external surface, and thickening of arteries. The prevalence of conditions like diabetes, hypertension, and high cholesterol increase with age and contribute to declining kidney function. Studies show that while chronic kidney disease risk increases with age, elderly patients are less likely than younger patients to progress to end-stage renal disease, though a subset will eventually need renal replacement therapy. Nephrologists face the challenge of identifying older patients with declining kidney function who would benefit from interventions to slow progression.
The document discusses the benefits of forgiveness and gratitude as revealed in Dr. R. Murali Krishna's book "VIBRANT: To Heal and Be Whole." It recommends seeing others from a broader perspective, focusing on life's positives one is grateful for, and forgiving those who have harmed you in order to find serenity. Dr. Krishna is a psychiatrist who leads several mental health organizations and reveals in his book how to express yourself, manage anger, and feel gratitude to overcome issues like anxiety, trauma, and addiction.
The document provides a daily survival kit with items to help get through life. The items include a toothpick to remind one to see good in others, a rubber band to remind one to be flexible, a Band-Aid to heal hurt feelings, an eraser to remember everyone makes mistakes, a candy kiss to remind one everyone needs a hug, a mint to remind one of self-worth, bubble gum to stick with things to accomplish goals, a pencil to list daily blessings, and a tea bag to take time to relax and be grateful. The goal is to live every minute with love, gratitude, caring, sharing, and laughter.
This document discusses habits that can lead to increased happiness. It provides quotes from experts on happiness discussing how happiness is designed through habits rather than being accidental. Specific habits mentioned that can increase happiness include journaling, building optimism, having a sense of purpose, practicing gratitude, exercising, eating healthy, using mantras, connecting with wisdom, and reflecting on one's journey. The document emphasizes that happiness is something that must be designed and cultivated through consistent practice of positive habits.

This presentation discusses different perspectives on happiness from philosophers, psychologists, and other thinkers. Happiness is defined as the greatest internal satisfaction with one's life conditions and realization of human purpose. It is presented as coming from life conciseness, vocation, money, and family life. Other sources of happiness discussed include creative work, service to others, involvement in life, and having a value system. Thinkers like Aristotle, the Dalai Lama, Maslow, and Russell contribute views on cultivating happiness through virtue, discipline, meeting needs, and having interests. The conclusion is that one becomes as happy as they decide to be, with happiness coming from within.

Henny Portman - Will the project manager survive in the agile world when scal...Agile Lietuva
I focus on a possible transition of organizations who are introducing the agile way of working. Starting with a traditional project setup using permanent PMO (portfolio level). What will happen if we the keep the team together as an agile team? What does that mean for the project manager, and what is the most important competence of the PO? I will continue my story by adding an agile team. Coordination between the teams can be managed by a scrum of scrum. Still no need for a project organization with a project manager and a project board and no need for a temporary PMO. I add more teams and the coordination asks for a project manager. We can continue and institutionalize the coordination and removing the PM by using frameworks like Nexus, S@S, SAFe, LeSS et cetera. I will add some new to be created teams (asks for a Project Manager to organize this hybrid project organization) et cetera. I will end with an overview and positioning of different agile frameworks (more than 50) and the role of the permanent PMO in an agile world (focus portfolio management and Center of Excellence) and what has to change if you want to make a transition towards a more agile organization.
Learning objectives
1. A clear overview and positioning of different agile frameworks. Along the way, I will answer the question “Why do so many agile transitions fail?
2. Understand the new role of the project manager in the agile world

The document compares predictive and agile software development approaches. It outlines that predictive approaches rely on upfront planning and strict adherence to plans, which can be unrealistic given the inherent uncertainties in software projects. Agile approaches separate estimates from execution, focus on frequent delivery of working software, and emphasize adapting to changes and feedback. While myths exist that agile means no planning, documentation, commitments, processes, or roles like project managers, when applied properly agile can dramatically improve an organization's ability to deliver working software.
The document discusses an introduction to agile principles and practices. It begins with introductions from Yves Hanoulle and Vera Peeters. It then discusses agile manifesto values and principles. It covers topics like agile project management, scaling agile, and introduces an XP game exercise. The goal is to provide an overview of agile concepts and how they can help the situation at Porthus.
