Lessons in Setting a Project Schedule - Deadlines! They can be like quicksand. The harder we fight to meet deadlines, the more of them we seem to miss…
Limit WIP to Identify Roadblocks - In a previous post I pointed out how limiting WIP helps to improve QA utilization. In this post, I'll discuss another area where limiting WIP can make your team more effective: Roadblock indentification…
Project Management Survival Tools - Part C (Planning Iterations) - For this 3rd post on this subject, I'd like to focus on the value of iteration planning / iterative development. One of the most difficult parts of project planning is breaking the project up into appropriate-sized pieces or phases so that the team does both the right things and does things right.
Project Management Survival Tools - Part B (Use Cases) - For this 2nd post on this subject I'd like to focus on the value of Use Cases. One of the challenges of specifying a new system, process, or product, is to capture the desired or required behaviors.

Baby Steps — Checklist for Adopting Agile Methods
If you've considered switching to agile, stop and take a deep breath before running straight into the arms of a new methodology. You can get a lot of mileage by taking a slower approach, trying out agile approaches one project at a time while your teams learn the concepts and get used to the idea. This checklist serves as a guide to adopting agile one project at a time, based on practices that have worked for project teams in the past. It's intended to position a project team to be as successful as possible with their first agile project, without charging headlong into agile across the whole organization.
