Project Optimization and Agility
Project and schedule optimization is collaborative activities with the leaders mindfulness to scope, time, and cost considerations, aligned with all stakeholders’ buy-in. Adding cross-functional human resources into the optimization formula makes our approach more challenging. In scheduling we aim to predict the completion of tasks in the future, considering many constraints, uncertainties, and risks. Project management employs many techniques and methods to estimate the scope of work and to optimize the process of deliverables!
This is a story in creation; a group of Agile-minded volunteer PPMs who get together to build an Agile PPMs publishing platform using a hybrid of Agile frameworks.

Signs that you are a micro-manager
This client’s issue was that she continually put in over 10 hours a day in a draining work environment. Although she had desires to do other hobbies and side businesses, she was too exhausted to do anything about those other dreams. She self-diagnosed herself as having no follow-through, although at the office – she had lots of follow-through.
After hearing her story, I suggested that she was actually micromanaging her people too much. This was taking her time away from the items she really wanted to accomplish as well as zapping all her energy. Her knee-jerk reaction was that she was not a micro-manager.
