‘Scaled Agile’ is one of the most misunderstood concepts. Agile adoption surveys indicate that Scrum, or some combination of it, is used by 70–80% of Agile Teams. None of the ‘scaled’ frameworks is mentioned as ‘used’, only as an option to ‘scale’.

Agile, a new approach in 1970 to scale down manufacturing processes and make them more ‘Agile,’ was created to improve Lean Six Sigma.

Out of Software development, the team frameworks are now ‘scaling up’ by reverting to Lean Practices like Kanban, Theory of Constraints, Voice of Customer, Kaizen, etc.

The Six Sigma component that is the most mature and confirmed way of measuring the impact of process improvement initiatives was left out.

This is possibly partly because it requires skills and knowledge that can’t be acquired in a 2-3 days course, partly because its practices are associated with manufacturing, and it is as seen incompatible with software development.  addition, Lean goals (eliminate waste, adoption of standardized processes) are completely opposed to the Agile mindset that fundamentally embraces change, allows good waste, and is against reliance on standardized processes,

In this webinar Stelian Roman (LinkedIn profile) gives an analysis of lessons learned from using Lean Six Sigma to measure process improvement initiatives in software development including a comparison between Agile and Planned approaches in a large system development.

It is a project manager’s view that is probably different than what is heard in conferences and training courses.

How can we increase the speed of informal knowledge to improve project predictability, decision-making, and investor confidence?

As we know from the recent The Nuclear Institute: Project Management SIG report, the nuclear industry suffers from a lack-of-predictability in projects, which often results in projects that are late and over-budget. Further, these repeated challenges have resulted in low investor confidence.

Now, add in the current challenges to move toward low and zero carbon projects alongside the perceived slow decision-making culture.

We have a major problem that is larger than any one individual, we have a systems challenge that requires transformational change.

Knowledge Management (KM) is one major aspect of a complex systems approach to decision-making, innovation, and systemic change. KM officially began in 1995 and has matured along the way.

KM augmented traditional Information Management (IM) approaches such as lessons learned, and traditional training approaches such as individual productivity improvement.

KM now practices and enhances organisational learning and cross-industry partnership performance.

In this webinar, John Hovell, PMP, CKM (LinkedIn profile) will discuss specific examples of how to shift from lessons learned to shared collaborative learning, from structured to unstructured collective decisions, and especially from formal to informal optimal flow of knowledge.

Notice the word “discuss” because this will be a group discussion as opposed to a traditional watch-and-listen webinar.

Come prepared to deeply listen and contribute to the conversations. John  will offer a short provocation, then we’ll have two rounds of small group conversations.

John will close with a group text-based sharing to collective realise and document the key learnings.

The core question for your consideration, and our discussion is, “how can we increase the speed of informal knowledge to improve project predictability, decision-making, and investor confidence?”
