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, and resourcefulness to meet project needs and deadlines. Teamwork also depends on the team's familiarity with each other and the project's requirements, as well as the project manager's leadership. 

Some common types of team building activities include:
  • Personality based: Help teams improve their performance by increasing communication, collaboration, and conflict resolution
  • Activity based: Games and other activities
  • Skills based: Programs and techniques
  • Problem-solving based: Initiatives and activities 

4) Transparency:

Transparency in project management is the act of sharing project information, goals, and progress with all team members and stakeholders in an open manner. It entails establishing a culture of open communication and trust, where team members can comfortably share updates, ask questions, and provide feedback. By implementing transparent project management processes, each person participating in the project gains a comprehensive grasp of their individual responsibilities, the project scope, and its objectives. Drag and drop tasks in the Board view to keep everything flowing and updated for the entire project team.

Daily Agile Scrum stand-up meeting guidelines

Followers of the Scrum method of project management will typically start their day with a " stand-up meeting ". In short, this is a quick daily meeting (30 minutes or less) where the participants share the answers to the three questions with each other: • What did I accomplish yesterday?  • What will I do today?  • What obstacles are impeding my progress?  Some people are talkative and tend to wander off into Story Telling .  Some people want to engage in Problem Solving immediately after hearing a problem. Meetings that take too long tend to have low energy and participants not directly related to a long discussion will tend to be distracted. These are the minimum number of questions that satisfy the goals of daily stand-ups. Other topics of discussion (e.g., design discussions, gossip, etc.) should be deferred until after the meeting.  Here are few tips for running a smooth daily meeting:  • Everyone should literally stand-up and no one should sit down ...

Each artifact contains a commitment to ensure it provides information that enhances transparency and focus against which progress can be measured: ● For the Product Backlog it is the Product Goal. ● For the Sprint Backlog it is the Sprint Goal. ● For the Increment it is the Definition of Done.
