Agile is seen by many as a progression from the traditional ‘waterfall’ approach,  considered too formal to adapt to the fast changing business environment.

Like in any other approach, there is room for improvement for teams using Agile. Lean Six Sigma was used for decades as a tool for process improvement on the assumption that  “what you can’t measure you can’t improve”.

In principle Lean (eliminate waste by process standardization) is fundamentally opposed to Agile (embracing change even late in the process).

Six Sigma can be the balance between Lean and Agile, measuring the impact of Lean and/or Agile initiatives.

Join  Stelian Roman (LinkedIn profile) in this presentation is based on a real case study, using Lean Six Sigma’s Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control (DMAIC) process to make the Scrum process more efficient in a software start-up.

Donald G. Reinertsen was at Booz Allen Hamilton when he coined the term “Fuzzy Front End” in an article for PMI in the 1980’s.

He did so because he thought there was something going on up there at the beginning of New Product Development but it was fuzzy.

He was interviewed for an article a few years later. By then he had come to dislike the term, “Fuzzy Front End”. He felt that, after more study, there were a number of tools and processes in place (some for decades), that made the front end into a repeatable process.

That concept of Fuzzy Logic (sampling the environment, the market, technology, the competition, etc.) became the basic concept behind this important discovery stage and the basis for many popular branded processes like Hunting for Hunting Grounds™.

Never mind Reinertsen’s new thinking, the term “Fuzzy Front End” was catching on by the mid-90’s in the New Product Development community and perpetuated the myth of this stage as somewhat mystical.

This webinar with Kimberly Johnson (LinkedIn profile), & Christopher Miller (LinkedIn profile) will attempt to demystify the new product discovery.

The topic of the webinar, close to the border of psychology, includes those ethical aspects that are tremendously influencing our projects and social life as well.

The presenters, Simona Bonghez (LinkedIn profile), & Leah Brophy (LinkedIn profile) are members of the PMI Ethics Member Advisory Group.

Simona & Leah will talk about the psychological distance between our actions and their impact, about how this distance explains some of our temptations (especially when we fell pray to them) and about the broken window concept applied in ethics (something that we encounter more and more nowadays).

Ethics tools available for practitioners are presented and their possible practical results shortly described.
