• Sprints with fixed duration

• Sprint finished: test on system level (by end user)
• Time and money fixed, functionality negotiable
• Functionality prioritized on product backlog
• Changes OK, but not in current sprint
• Cross functional fixed team
• Daily stand-up meeting including product owner 4

The essence of PM in short

1. The power of action 12
Being successful

What should you do before achieving your goals?

Being successful

What should you do before achieving your goals?

Show ACTION !!!

visibility, feedback,
opportunity to influence

14
Did I show action (visibility) to every
stakeholder during the past period?

Or did I show
submarine behaviour?
15
 Did I show action (visibility) to every
stakeholder during the past period?

Logical error:
wait for action until there is a solution
16
 17

The power of action:

The guts to take the lead and surprise
 18

There is more than the technical way…

 10%-confrontation rule
19

WE YOU - THEM
Opportunity to influence Sense of urgency

Make a commitment for the 10%-moment before you know what to bring

• It’s all about the destination (goals)

• Replanning is part of life

• Communicate in terms of the end result 22

Wat
would
The TomTom
do?

Agile leadership:

Always sincerely curious about

the best route to the destination

3. Project decomposition
 27

The PBS drives all action

Product breakdown structure (PBS)

27
 28

De PBS en Agile Scrum

28
Making project progress measurable

The PBS must enable measurement

of the critical parameters
GPS

project

Performance
A Output
System accuracy
Energy consumption
Etc.
29
 30

Do you know the critical parameters?

Focus on the critical parameters

 31

Examples of critical parameters

Cost price Energy usage Placement accuracy

Component availability Temperature resistance

Assemblability
Ergonomics Speed
Tolerances Design Bearing strength

Availability project data

Product output Team member competence
Lifespan Start-up time
Safety Mass Acceleration
Customer satisfaction
Product reliability Spare part usage
Repair time

Reliability Reaction time change requests Diagnosis time

Memory usage Processor usage User interface ergonomics

SW Code size EMC Setup time Hardware independence
 32

Learning to make a PBS: wax on… wax off…

 33

It should be routine
 34

Helping your team?

Then you need to master it even better…

4. Project execution
 Make the runway visible
at the start of the project:

Time to go
Money to go
Issues to solve
Tests to do
Customers to visit
Parts to order
Etc.

37
 38

Focus on your ‘lap times’ and

the critical parameters
 39

Project your plan

onto a schedule of lap times

Show action, learn from your navigator,

reduce complexity with the PBS,
measure the critical parameters,
drive the heartbeat, and …

Have fun while being an influencer!
