Living with your family in more than one house!
Imagine living with your family in more than one house. Each house is built for a specific purpose (sleeping, getting ready, or cooking). However, the houses are far apart, and there is minimal communication. Imagine the everyday chaos you and your family may have to...
Trap of ego-based thinking!
Ego-based thinking is one of the top constraints in every project, relationship, or interaction. By default, we tend to overestimate our own contribution. Our thinking patterns put us at the centre of every discussion point. So, we feel good when we hear our praise...
Sometimes we like to take it out!
Sometimes, we like to take it out. We want to talk about our problems, issues, and challenges. We like to discuss things that are not working. We bounce ideas and ideal scenarios of what should happen. We may draw conceptual diagrams and paint a picture for the...
What is progress without a plan?
Progress without a plan is likely to be more drifting and less progress. We may see effort and outcomes but are unaware of direction. However, we are not designed to plan and implement. If no one mandates a plan, we are likely to continue with no plan. Perhaps that is...
I am not a rational person!
Stumbling upon the long list of cognitive biases and their effects on our decision-making, I realised I am not a rational person! Consider taking some time for self-reflection.
Attachments can only make us stiff and weak!
Take a moment to think about your childhood. Ponder the days of your uni or the early days of your career. It may all seem like distant memories, with some faded recollections of your experiences. Even if we try to recreate the good old days, we will likely regret our...
Someone is paying for our inefficiencies!
Technology projects earn a bad name due to uncertain completion, outcome, and quality. The Project teams tend to be on the extreme north or south of the project methodology spectrum. Either they notoriously follow a set methodology, or there is no project management....
We often debate ways of working!
We often debate ways of working (methodologies, processes, procedures, and rituals). Here are a few points to consider: The ways we worked before may no longer serve us well. Two distinct ways can be equally valid. Hybrid ways (the amalgamation of two ways) may serve...
Limits are there for a reason!
The following policies and procedures may sound bureaucratic. Some may want to uproot such limits. Casual wear is only on Fridays. No mini skirts or shorts are allowed. The Project Manager must always own the Project Risk Register and Project Schedule. The CEO must...
Enterprise software projects are a team sport!
If I know every tackle and trick in soccer but don’t know how to play with my teammates, I will likely be useless. I may be the best guitar player, playing solo, but I struggle to play in the band; my skills are limited to my room. Similarly, enterprise software...
Dealing with problems!
When we are in constant, extreme pain due to a problem, there is a high chance that we will put effort into resolving it. So, pain (being painful) works in our favour. Other problems sometimes cause extreme pain and other times reasonable pleasure. Most such problems...
Problems cause pain, but what are we doing about them?
Problems cause pain; hiding them under the carpet and moving on with life is often straightforward. But most issues don’t go anywhere. They grow stronger and stand in front of us over and over again. Solving one problem has the potential to unlock numerous new...
