5. Aligned and engaged stakeholders

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).

We pretend that there is structure and form, process and methodology. When we actually get into the depths of projects in the real world, however, we are adapting on the fly.

This is where we discover that projects and politics, organizational behavior and organizational change, and the very messy reality of dealing with people all fundamentally shapes our success.

In this webinar, Mark Mullaly (LinkedIn profile) author of Researching the Value of Project Management explores a survey of some of the more common (if we can think of them that way) real-world challenges that project managers encounter, and what we might do with them.

Whether you are a new project manager or you already have the scars of real-world experience, you will find content of value and ideas you can use.

Project management is a useful and universal framework for thinking about getting things done. The challenge is that it is most relevant—and most easily applied—in situations where there is a practical, tangible deliverable that can be clearly identified and planned.

Not all projects fit neatly into that box, however. Many projects are intangible. Some are about change, others about knowledge work and a few are about working to shift mindset and perspective. Successfully managing in the face of novel situations with low clarity can be difficult.

The good news is that there are strategies that you can employ.

In this webinar, Mark Mullaly (LinkedIn profile) author of Researching the Value of Project Management explores how to take the essential principles of project management and apply them to just about any project, no matter how esoteric or unconventional.

Join Mark and learn practical techniques to adapt project management to virtually any situation that you might encounter. You will learn the techniques that work, where the limits lie in how to apply them, and what to do instead.
