Searching for A Job
Is a Big, Complex, & Scary prospect!

You don’t have control over the end date, so it’s an emergent project.

How do you regain control?

• By using personal kanban inside one week timeboxes and reflecting on your progress.

Personal kanban can help you manage your work, keep your WIP small, and visualize what to do. But personal kanban is not enough, even with purposeful reflection.

A job seeker needs the growth mindset—the agile mindset—to persist in building a target list and networking list.

Too many people don’t realize how to network. They think that “spray-and-pray” works for résumés, online, and in-person networking.

That just wastes time.

You also need an agile approach, try a little something and getting some feedback to your networking.

Building a targeted list requires knowing your purpose, knowing who your target list might be, articulating the value of your previous accomplishments, how to ask for feedback, purposeful reflection and the growth mindset.

In this talk, Johanna will provide you with:

1. The basics of personal kanban,
2. An introduction to background networking and how that differs from targeted networking.

Bring your notebook and a pen. You’ll learn enough to use this session to manage your job search now and in the future.

Agile is all about the flow of work through a system and how that work is efficiently and effectively ‘managed’.

Most organizations are adept at managing the flow of work at the Team or Project level but many struggle with too much Work In Progress (WIP) at the Program/Portfolio level.

Often times there are too many projects in flight and finite resources are spread across multiple work streams. What first appears as an efficient form of resource utilization is in reality the equivalent of an organization running in place.

Many Things Get Started But Few Get Done

Managing your Portfolio using a Kanban approach is a more effective way to manage the flow of work by making the amount of work visible, limiting WIP to maximize the number of things completed and using a pull system to only pull new work into the Portfolio when there is actual capacity to effectively complete it.

Agile provides the opportunity to release a product earlier than in a waterfall approach, but understanding when to release a product for maximum efficiency takes a great understanding of how to plan and execute a product release strategy.

Teams and organizations must balance the costs of releasing a product to production with the value a set of features will create in the marketplace of users.

This web seminar provides a great understanding of how releases work within an Agile strategy and how to effectively prepare for this very important aspect of the overall lifecycle.

Many projects managers who manage projects where things changes frequently struggle to prepare and maintain critical path based detailed project schedule.

Critical path based planning needs very frequent re-planning and in absence of that schedule remain just a document, schedule rarely reflect the real activities which are getting executed.

The push schedule where we expect project manager to allocate activities / tasks to individual require good amount of communication and re-planning and delay in communication or re-planning generates delays in execution, since team waits for instructions.

Pull based planning gives a good alternative to manage tasks/ activities. In this session we will look at what is this Pull based scheduling is all about and how it can be implemented.

Key Questions Answered:

• Why do we need Pull based planning?
• How can we put Pull based planning in action?
• What are the Lean Software development Principles
• What is Kanban and how it gets implemented?
• Saket Bansal will also look some of the fundamental principles of Lean Software Development and Kanban.
