Agile Basics for Government with ThoughtWorks
Most people interested in the field of innovation have heard of agile innovation teams. These small, entrepreneurial groups are designed to stay close to customers and adapt quickly to changing conditions. When implemented correctly, they have a reputation for almost always result in higher team productivity and moral, faster time to market, better quality and lower risk than traditional approaches can achieve.
But while agile methods caught on first in IT departments and are now widely used in software development, the agile approach has potential to transform the public sector in ways far beyond better bits and bytes. Conditions are ripe for agile teams in any situation where problems are complex, solutions are at first unclear, project requirements are likely to change, and close collaboration with end users is feasible: a description that matches many facing a wide variety of public sector activities.
This session will provide participants with an opportunity to explore what the world of agile can teach them – about themselves, their work and their potential to serve their clients better, whatever their role. It will confront some of the common myths and misconceptions about agile, and demonstrate how an agile approach can enable teams to deliver sooner and scale faster through a proven learning culture that builds and strengthens the team and its capabilities.

As the task of managing projects spans across all departments, we wanted to find out how non-project managers are handling it. Are people practicing standard approaches? Or is it all ad-hoc? And how is that affecting work management?

“For every complex problem there is an answer that is short, simple, and wrong!”
To estimate the complexity and the size of the project we’re about to develop is definitely a complex problem. It doesn't matter if it is a simple app for buying cat food or a very elaborated banking system. Usually, we’re using different estimation approaches to deal with this problem, but it’s pretty easy to fall into various traps. The results of your fall-downs may be really painful, such as an unhappy client or a frustrated team.
In this presentation we’re speaking about different situations and mistakes we’ve made (or have observed in other teams) and we’ll try to give some tips how to avoid them.
Plan a project in half a day... not months! An Introduction to Impact MappingAssurity Consulting
The large-scale adoption of Agile development frameworks has forced a rethinking of traditional Enterprise Analysis practices.
In today’s world of digital disruption, innovation and speed to market are paramount. No longer can companies afford to take 6-12 months analysing and designing their product or next set of features. Yet, despite the rapid advancement in development practices enabling software to be developed faster and better than ever before, those responsible for leading projects are still often using traditional practices to determine project and product objectives. Lengthy periods of time spent doing upfront analysis are eroding organisations’ abilities to get a jump on their competitors.
Impact Mapping is a simple, but powerful visualisation technique that engages senior business and technical experts at the start of projects to create a shared understanding of scope – not from a technical perspective, but from a business one.
As simple as Impact Mapping is as a technique, effective use of Impact Mapping requires the analyst to apply their artistic and scientific talents as one cannot draw a map sequentially. Impact Mapping requires divergent and convergent thinking, and an appreciation of how project deliverables influence changes in human behaviour which in turn affect the likelihood of achieving business goals.

7 resources to help you become a successful project manager in your industryGanttPRO Software
There is a wealth of resources and tools that can help you with whatever you need. The hard part is to locate and identify the right ones and make use of them in the most appropriate way. Note, that price is not the leading factor here – some quality resources are free to use and yet can help you become a successful project manager.
To save you time, we have selected 7 groups of resources that can be of great use for any project managers.
It is up to you to use one or more of them and combine them according to your taste and preferences.
Big Projects in MNCs are not accomplished by any individual but by a Team of dedicated individuals. TEAM means Together Everyone Achieves More. In this session, learn effective teamwork skills that you need to successfully complete a big project.
Today, we are expected to be both fast and flexible. We need to react to changes at a moment’s notice and always be ready to pivot our course of action.
Understanding how we need to change, and why, comes from creative activities like user research. But working fast can make it hard to find the time for this kind of creative work.
That’s where design sprints come in. These concentrated bursts of team collaboration mean getting together for days or a week to focus on a specific design challenge. Design sprints are intense, but are usually very productive.
But what happens if your team is remote?
In this free webinar, designer Laïla von Alvensleben from the design agency Hanno shares her insights on conducting design sprints with a remote team. Her advice is based on years of research and practical experience with clients like Über and Lenovo.
We know remote design can be daunting, so we’ve brought Laïla to the spotlight to ease our fears and show us how to have speed, quality design and a distributed team.
This presentation discusses the following:
What is an estimate?
What are the factors influencing estimating?
How are agile projects estimated?
How Agile estimation solves common estimation problems?
TOP PROJECT MANAGER INTERVIEW QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS 2022 (1).pdfSprintzeal
Every organization knows the value of a Project Manager. Most employers ask for a certified Project Manager. When the Project Manager is certified, it shows that he or she has validated their skills and experience in the field of project management. However, when it comes to a Project Management certification, an organization demands a globally recognized certification like PRINCE 2 certification, Project Management Professional certification, CompTIA project+ certification so on.

However, when it comes to a Project Management certification, an organization demands a globally recognized certification like PRINCE 2 certification, Project Management Professional certification, CompTIA project+ certification so on.
The real question is why is managing projects so hard? The Project Management processes are well defined, well documented, mature, and available to anyone anywhere. But we still seem to think, or at least make the claim that “managing projects” requires some type of special skill, requiring processes not found in these standard approaches.
Visual Paradigm enables your team to manage enterprise transformation complexity for coping with the rapidly-changing markets, technologies, and regulatory requirements. It is an ideal one-stop-shop solution for enterprise architecture planning and business transformation, project management and agile software development, so that your company can stay in control and foster growth.
We all know the feeling. The creeping sense of doom that our project is falling apart. The growing horror as we watch it unravel despite all our best laid plans. The moment of terror when we realize it’s well and truly dead.
All of us—whether we make launch plans or business plans, product plans or go-to-market-plans—have at least one skeleton in our closet. And it was most likely put there by one of these plan killers: poor alignment with corporate strategy, bad metrics or lack of understanding of the market.
Fortunately, this issue of Pragmatic Marketer provides practical tools and tips for addressing all three.
First, Bill Thomson walks us through creating a strategic product plan. Robert Boyd and our own Jon Gatrell talk about key metrics—how to measure everything from overall organizational strength to individual sprints. And finally, weaving it all together, is a real-life look at how Hubspot ensures its product launch plans succeed.
There are bone-yards full of good ideas that collapse during planning and execution. In this issue we help ensure your project isn’t one of them.
Happy reading,
Rebecca Kalogeris, Editorial Director
