The lack of project prioritization is an epidemic in the global environment today.

I’m talking about real project prioritization across an enterprise and not these half-hearted attempts I’ve been hearing from project resources for over ten years. Project prioritization within a group, team or organization is a good start, but it’s not enough. -Nancy Tighe

The result of limited project prioritization is over-allocated project resources leading to low morale, suffering quality and rework. Resources are being squeezed every which way and they are hurting. Why are companies choosing limited project prioritization and not enterprise-wide project prioritization? Don’t they know it’s hurting their team and having an impact on project success? Do they not see it?

These topics will be presented as well as several successful techniques for project prioritization. Lastly, ways to convince management that enterprise-wide project prioritization is an absolute necessity and not a choice will be discussed.

Lean-thinking is the combination of applying known software development principles with lean-management and lean-learning work in order to speed time-to-market while improving quality and lowering costs. It provides insights from project initiation through development, deployment and consumption by the customer (internal in IT and external in product companies). Lean focuses on helping people improve the environment and systems in which they work.

While first generation agile methods have a solid track record at the team level, many agile transformations get stuck trying to expand throughout the organization. With a set of principles that can help improve software development quality and productivity, Lean Thinking provides a method for escaping the trap of local optimization.
