The Delivery Manager Daily

I've reflected over the last three years to determine that no matter the framework, methodology or approach, it's always to try & tackle the real issues which are often left to just be...well...issues. There are often far too many people involved in a project, causing any mechanism you use for scale or communication to groan at the seams. Hybrid working just compounds this further. Let's tackle the problems, rather than adding something over the top to superficially 'improve' things.

In this episode, I talk about change. Most projects are complex, and often in need of occasional re-alignment. I find myself using Kotters 8 step model of change as a foundational pillar for all my project structures, and I talk about how I've implemented some of this, whether software or transformation, take a listen and tell me what you think.

In this episode I talk about the Scrumble. If you use Nexus, buried deep within the Scrum user guide & in Ken Schwabers blog post form 2015 which is an interesting read in it's own right, the Scrumble is a way of pausing delivery in your project, when things are going wrong. Is it just a retro? Does it truly handle problems in projects or is it just a holiday for the Scrum teams? Let's find out.
