If you're losing the attention of your team during meetings, it may be time to look at other ways to increase engagement. Let’s go through three different styles that morning meetings can take—and see which one may be right for your team.
Question: We are an organization that has both manufacturing type teams and those who do more software-oriented things. Management really wants us to do things that are more similar in the way we manage projects. Since what we do doesn’t really lend itself to a single approach to the work we need to complete, how can we set up something that works for both parts of the organization?
Does an agile team need a project manager? Should a scrum master be bossy? A practitioner in a software development project makes some observations as he adapts to a new way of working.

Presenting the SCRUMBAN framework and discussing what would change in SCRUM in adopting this combination
As many organizations now incorporate Agile ways of working to manage projects, there are new roles to be filled. In Scrum, one of those roles is the Product Owner. Does your organization have an unclear role and responsibilities for your Product Owners? Are you a Product Owner who is looking for ways to be more effective and successful in your role? If so, this webinar is for you.
This template can be used to estimate costs for a project based on Scrum iterations/sprints. This tool assumes basic knowledge of agile/Scrum. The template is divided into three spreadsheets: Overview (detailed explanation of the template and usage), Estimator (calculations required for obtaining project cost estimates) and Data (look up data used in the estimator worksheet).
Scrum has been at the forefront of a revolution in how software is developed and deployed. Who is using it? How? And why? In this exclusive 48-page report from ProjectsAtWork, Scrum Alliance and ProjectManagement.com, 500 professionals share their answers.
This 19-slide deck is a companion piece to the Agile Distributed Teams research report from ProjectsAtWork. It is designed to help you leverage the report's key findings and recommendations to achieve the benefits of working with distributed agile teams in your organization.
The purpose of the Scrum of Scrums is to synchronize projects that are interdependent upon one another and to discuss any roadblocks, impacts and mitigation strategies. Use this simple PowerPoint deck to track project progress and roadblocks.
Read how one PM used systematic problem-solving techniques to visualize, categorize and analyze problems and find underlying root causes—leading a project from red to green status in four weeks. This article suggests that a systematic approach to problem-solving can assist leaders in understanding problems and devising plans to resolve them promptly.
Holding a retrospective during a crisis is a completely different process than it is during less stressful times. As a PM, you should be aware of the appropriate methods to use when this happens. A practitioner from Ukraine shares her experiences.
Are you a stickler for "agile rules" when using agile project management? Don't be! That's just one of the lessons this practitioner has learned over the years through hands-on experience succeeding—and failing—while working on agile efforts.
Scrum masters and project managers can form a formidable leadership team on agile initiatives. But how does that relationship and scrum master’s role evolve in a hybrid environment? For one, more attention to coaching and less to process.
Sprint planning is an important part of the agile process, but too often it’s treated as a perfunctory step to simply add stories to the upcoming sprint. Instead, teams should include goals, value and uncertainty in the discussion—and get much more out of it.
Question: I am going to head a team on a large, corporate project that will involve multiple teams. The problem is that we are not all going to be using the same methods of project management, and I am concerned about how we will be able to work together if we are not all following the same processes. Is it possible for various parts of the organization to work in different ways and still produce a good product?
Prototyping, scrum, SAFE, kanban...it's easy to get confused these days. Here we walk through some of the main project methodologies used for IT projects today and give a little history of each—with some recommendations for when each methodology might be most appropriate.
Question: Even as we begin to emerge from the challenges of the past year, it is becoming obvious that things will never go back to exactly how they were in the past. My company wants me to use more agile approaches, along with our past predictive ones, to make us more flexible. But while I agree in concept, I’m not too sure how this would work in practice. Any suggestions?
Does the Daily Scrum help your team grow, or do they waste time? Here is some insight on the importance of holding Daily Scrums—and how you can actually use them as a tool for team cohesion.
In agile product development, we try to work on fewer things and stick with them until we finish. Rapid priority shifts are expensive and demoralizing. But that’s not always clear on the go-to-market side, so we need stories like the Hungry Man Parable to build better understanding.
