This presentation is based on eight recent Project Management Surveys including PMI, PwC, McKinsey and others.

While these eight elements of project success may be intuitively known to many Project Managers, the approach to addressing them may not be as common knowledge and definitely not common practice.

Uri Galimidi (LinkedIn profile). discusses the eight most important success factors for large technology-based projects, based on the results of the surveys (included in the reference slide).

For each element Uri describes practical proven approaches to address the challenge at hand, along with case stories to illustrate the concepts involved.

The eight elements to ensure successful project delivery are:

1. Engaged and experience Executive Sponsor
2. Competent project leadership team
3. Clear and achievable objectives, benefits, scope and approach
4. Comprehensive and realistic project plans
5. Aligned and engaged stakeholders
6. Well-resourced, experienced, and committed project team
7. Capable vendor with a proven solution and experienced team
8. Proven methodology with agile capabilities, scope management, quality control, financial management, and more.

Agile is still a hot topic. Started in the late 70s as an alternative to Lean Six Sigma, Agile become popular in the second decade of the 21st Century when Scrum became the de facto Agile delivery framework.

Like most popular Agile frameworks, Scrum started as a software product development approach used by a small software development team to build new products.

Scrum remains at the core of most Agile frameworks with the Scrum Master role being the flag bearer of any Agile Team.

Nowadays, many projects have a software development component and a software development (sub) team.

From the Project Management perspective, the Scrum framework doesn’t handle some important project areas like Financial Management, Procurement, and Risk Management; therefore, a Project Manager is still required.

The term “Agile Project Management” is widely used these days. Although, most of the time, it refers to small software implementation projects.

In this webinar Stelian Roman (LinkedIn profile) does a comparative analysis of various aspects of a project from an Agile Perspective, attempting to define what differentiates an “Agile” Project from a standard project.

The webinar will also address skills that the Project Manager needs to acquire or develop and practices that must be avoided when using an adaptive delivery approach.

The Agile Enterprise webinar series explores the impact of Agility on Project Management knowledge areas at the Enterprise Level.

Attendees will learn how traditional Project Management practices can be adapted to support Agility at the Enterprise level, what the benefits of Agile adoption are, and how the benefits can be quantified.

While it may not be common knowledge, Agile started in manufacturing as a challenge to the near-perfect quality delivered by the Lean Six Sigma approach to product development.

In doing so, the manufacturing industry had many of the same goals as the software development approaches that resulted in the Manifesto for Agile Software Development in 2001.

However, there were two significant differences between Agile in manufacturing and Agile in software development.

The first notable difference was the scale – manufacturing companies had tens of thousands of people involved in product development while the Agile frameworks were conceived BY a small team of software developers FOR a small team of developers.

Moreover, the software development versions of Agile can’t necessarily be used at the project level because they don’t have the tools needed for all the project management knowledge areas, especially financial management.

The second significant difference was efficiency which is important in any project. Manufacturing used Lean Six Sigma to make processes efficient. Adapting to market changes and fast time to market were important, but new processes also needed to be efficient.    

Although they may appear to be competitors, Agile and Lean Six Sigma have the same objective: supporting the organization’s priorities by achieving customer satisfaction.

Lean Six Sigma has a very mature approach to process improvement: DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control).

This approach can certainly be used for a successful Agile transformation.

This webinar is based on Stelian Roman (LinkedIn profile)  experience using the Lean Six Sigma DMAIC framework for Process Improvement for software development projects with a focus on D (Define).
