With the generous support of Workfront, we have undertaken to learn more about the challenges of transitioning to Agile by posing the following question to 20 top project management and Agile experts:
What are some tips and secrets you can provide to project
leaders and teams making the transition to Agile or transitioning to a mix of Agile and Waterfall? Please share a personal story.
This excellent collection of essays reveals traps some managers fall into that derail their attempts at transitioning from Waterfall to Agile. The experts also highlight keys
to success, an important one being the need for good communication within and across teams. One big take-away from these project management professionals is that
becoming more Agile is a huge cultural transition that requires commitment at all levels
within the business.
I believe that the insights that these experts provide will be of great interest and value to anyone trying to improve their project management processes.
All the best,

Beyond the Crystal Ball –The Agile PMO - Heather Fleming and Justin RiservatoAtlassian
Perhaps we've set our project management officers (PMOs) up for failure. Without knowing it, we ask them to predict the future using a one-size-fits-all approach to best practices – and that just doesn't work. There is no magic crystal ball! Learn how an agile PMO can help your organization tackle the right work, at the right time, with the right teams using JIRA.
Agile leadership to address the challenges of the VUCA worldChristian Mies
Project Management today has to deal with increasing complexity and various challenges. Many of the issues we see result from the often chaotic environment of these projects. This environment can best be characterized by the term VUCA. The principle of self-organization provides one approach to reduce the complexity to a level we can manage. Adequate leadership methodologies are a key driver for this change.

In today's environment, few core competencies are as important as how change is managed. What is your organisation’s level of maturity in change management? In 2004, Prosci first released the Change Management Maturity Model, describing five different levels of organisational change management maturity. That model has been extended to a full-blown Maturity Model Audit that allows you to determine your organisation’s overall maturity and your maturity in five key capability areas: Leadership, Application, Competencies, Standardization and Socialization. This webinar introduces the framework and tool to evaluate where you are today and how to advance the capability in your organisation.

The Agile PMO
Now that agile methods are here to stay, executives are looking to PMO leaders for answers to fundamental questions: What is the agile movement all about? When does it fit for a given project, and when does it not? Even more puzzling, if agile methods encourage self-organizing teams, then how does that impact the role of a PMO, or even the role of the project manager itself? In this eye-opening session, we will sift out fact from fiction and walk away with actionable tips for evolving your PMO to support agile methods.

From dysfunction to cross function in 8,593 easy steps- team building at the cbcJade Stephen, PSM II
When it comes to scaling Agile, there is no one size fits all solution. Frameworks like Scrum and XP prescribe roles, events, artifacts, and rules that make it very clear how interaction should take place within a team. When we begin to add more teams to the mix, communication between teams becomes more complex. This complexity threatens to reduce our transparency and damage our culture. How can we share information, build our culture and work together, all while keeping with Agile values?
During this session Sam Lightowler and Jade Stephen will take an in depth look at the successes and failures of CBC Digital Operations when it comes to cross-team collaboration and information sharing. We will discuss what meetings and techniques have helped us build a one-team-one-product mindset, a sense of community, and a culture of Collaboration, Learning and Improvement. We will also discuss what we have tried in the past and how learning from those experiments helped us evolve into the agile-friendly and unified team that we are today.

Agile Mindset : The Paradigm Shift..! - Agile Tour Algiers 2017Taoufik Fekhar
Agile is about mindset, this mindset is established through 4 values, grounded by 12 principles, and manifested through many different practices. Agile is a transformation from “fixed mindset” to “growth mindset”. Agile is a shift of thinking for the way of how we run a knowledge work from “defined process” to “empirical process”, Agile is a paradigm shift of how we manage work (specially knowledge work) from “coordination & control” to “inspect & adapt”. So, Agile is all about mindset, and it’s very important to understand this mindset in order to succeed the transformation to Agility that allows us to deal with complexity and uncertainty by established set of attitudes and habits toward a work like: failing early, learning through discovery, welcoming change, continuous delivery and continuous improvement, self-organizing team, collaboration and communication, build in feedback loops...etc, and when we really understand the Agile mindset we can use the Agile practices and tools as “Shu” level of instructions and guidance in the journey from “Doing Agile” to “Being Agile”, this journey that requires a lot of education and learning.

Middle Management in an Agile World webcastMark Lines
In an increasingly agile world, do we still need middle managers? Clearly we do, but middle management and HR departments must adapt or never meet the promise of highly motivated and productive teams. Some of the changes required may be considered quite radical when compared to traditional HR practices. But without these changes you will have difficulty attracting and retaining the talent you need.
In this webinar, Mark Lines provides an overview of trends we see in organizational design, career paths, the new role of middle management, and some progressive ideas regarding compensation and performance management.
Agile Project Management is an exciting methodology to manage complex projects. It’s mainly used in software development but can be used in any discipline.
This presentation explores the benefits of using Agile, a case study which purposely isn't software and a consideration of the leadership styles required to make an Agile project a success.
It was originally developed for TC World Bangalore and later adapted for GALA as a webinar.
This presentation was used in Tuitt's Graduation Ceremony.
The graduates were mostly career shifters from the non-IT field.
I was invited there as a guest speaker to inspire/motivate and provide insights on what lies ahead after the boot camp.
This presentation was used in our company's internal training in Problem Solving and Critical Thinking. Some parts were customized to fit our needs.

Artificial intelligence (AI) offers new opportunities to radically reinvent the way we do business. This study explores how CEOs and top decision makers around the world are responding to the transformative potential of AI.
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.
