How to overcome from project challenges? - 1) Scope Creep

As a Project manager we face lot of challenges in project, we will discuss Scope Creep and how to overcome from the challenges.

Scope creep:

Project scope is all the of the work that needs to be done to make the product.

This is the big part of what the project manager's are concerned with. This is the work the team has to do.

Scope creep means uncontrolled changes that causes the team to extra work.

Uncontrolled means the change that team is working without bothering about project's time, cost, scope, quality, risk and resource utilization.

Question comes to our mind is why scope changes?

1) Good change

Good change happens rarely in the project, it simplify the way of implementing the requirement and design.

2) Bad change

When you see from outside it' looks good when we start implementing it affects all the criteria mentioned above.

Scope creep is one of the bad change, when we implement one change it leads to new one and it go uncontrollable.

Gold plating is the another type where a developer thinks of a way to make a feature better (without discussing with anyone)

This may sounds good but we have to pay for these features not asked by customer.

We need to use the technique "Control Scope process" to overcome this challenge.

First we need to have the baselined project scope document. If we are following scrum. We need to finalize the Epic's planned for the release.

Project manager need to perform variance analysis against the baselined project scope if any changes coming then he need to follow the CRB process to include part of the requirement and update the project documents including baselined project scope and project plan.

Project manager need to proactively engaging with clients during the project planning phase can help you get their exact requirements as well as understand their expectations.

In addition, planning your resource and talent usage accurately.

It’s also important to not take up ad-hoc change requests during project execution as this can result in delays and added costs. Stick to the initial plan.

Certified Enterprise Architect Professional (CEAP) - Module 4 - Architecture Precursors

Architecture Precursors: Precursors to modern Enterprise Architecture (EA) include early frameworks like IBM's Business Systems Planning (BSP), which focused on aligning business strategy with information systems, as well as other Information Systems (IS) architecture methodologies that emerged in the 1970s and 80s, emphasizing the connection between business processes and IT systems, laying the groundwork for the holistic view of an organization that EA represents today; the "Master Plan for Information Systems" by Evans and Hague is also considered a foundational concept in this area. Drivers: internal / external pressure enforce to change the system Aims & Directives: Aims: Goals Objectives Requirements Directives: Principles (example: Principles can be associated with business, data, applications, infrastructure, or security) Policies (example: Members of the public have minimal access to data) Business Rules (example: A rule directs and restricts a procedure)

Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe)

The Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) is a set of organizational and workflow patterns for implementing agile practices at an enterprise scale. The framework is a body of knowledge that includes structured guidance on roles and responsibilities, how to plan and manage the work, and values to uphold. Scrum is a simple, flexible approach to adopting Agile that's great for small teams. SAFe is an enterprise-wide Agile framework designed to help bring Agile beyond the team and into the company as a whole. Scaled Agile has built a comprehensive level that includes all the four layers called the team, program, large solutions, and portfolio level. 4 Layers: Portfolio - Strategy, Vision, Roadmap, Strategy goal, Decision making, Budget, Portfolio level metrics, Program - Align multiple teams towards a common mission, Bring together all the Agile teams, transparency, collaboration, and synchronisation, Scrum of Scrums, Product Owners to define the overall vision. Large Solutions - ar...

4 T's - Technology, Time, Teamwork, Transparency

1) Technology: Software development technologies are the tools and methods that developers use to design, develop, test, and deploy software applications. These include a wide range of software technologies, such as programming languages, frameworks and libraries, databases, and cloud computing platforms. 2) Time: A timebox is a fixed time period within which a deliverable must be produced in a project management context. It's a time management technique that involves dividing time into individual time periods, each with its own goal, duration, and deadline. Timeboxes are self-contained calendar events that can't be extended once they've started. The fundamental principle of timeboxing is that time in timeboxes can't shift, and once the time runs out, work must stop, even if the task isn't finished. 3) Teamwork: Teamwork in project management is a measure of how well a project's team works together to achieve a goal. It involves collaboration, communication, a...
