Agile, the approach that was created to replace Lean Six Sigma in 1970, is now 'scaling-up' by reverting to Lean Practices like Kanban, Theory of Constraints, Voice of Customer, Kaizen, etc. Agile Manufacturing started decades before the Software development versions of Agile, and it is still ahead. Looking at the achievements and evolution of Agile Manufacturing, we can hopefully forecast how the popular version of Agile introduced by the Manifesto for Agile Software Development will evolve. This webinar is a comparison of Enterprise Agile used in Manufacturing and other business domains, like Construction and Health, with the team-based Agile used in Software development.

One of the most significant questions for the future of the project management profession will be our position in relation to huge, complex, and overwhelming environmental and societal problems that cannot be resolved by any organization, government and individual alone. Those problems are often referred to as Grand Challenges. The climate crisis is a prime example of a Grand Challenge with an increasing urgency that needs to be addressed if societies around the world are to survive and prosper. Up to now, project management as a profession has been key for ‘getting things done’, and as such is likely to be a key part of the solution for climate change and other such Grand Challenges.

Project managers can’t succeed unless their relationships with team members are founded on trust. But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t validate performance. Here we uncover a few ways to do that.
Project managers are getting younger, and it’s not just because the rest of us are getting older. Is it problematic to have less experienced PMs? How do we expect younger and less experienced employees to gain that experience and understanding?
Have you been assigned to a project that “nobody cares about"? As project managers, we quickly learn that we don’t often get to pick our projects. But they're still important—and it's up to you to find purpose in everything.
Project managers by nature are process driven, so bringing a PM into the mix of a startup that may not have established processes can be a culture shock. However, project managers can bring immense value to a startup and help the company execute on strategic goals more thoroughly.
How do new project managers determine whether issues are something they should worry about or whether they are simply “noise”? In the absence of experience, try this approach.
The more important projects become, the more freedom teams need to deliver them. PMs are going to have to be comfortable operating without the “safety net” of a standardized process, because there is soon going to be an unlimited number of ways of working to deliver projects.
Have you ever considered how you work? It’s something most of us never consider, but it can have a dramatic impact on the performance of our teams and our projects. Why? Because the way you work affects the way your team works.
Building relationships with the people we work with is critical for business success. Project managers have become accustomed to the “new normal” of working from home or other remote arrangements, so use these five steps to help strengthen relationships and improve project performance.
An idealistic leader believes eradicating problems is a virtuous endeavor and engages the struggle despite its apparent futility. A pragmatic leader accepts the existence of issues and mitigates them to the best of their ability. But what about a challenge-based leader? They see a problem as an opportunity to exploit the discovery of knowledge.
You cannot get the most out of your team if every individual does not feel fully included. Use these targeted techniques to build a productive work environment where everyone on your team feels that they can be heard and participate in the project’s success.
