Project Process

From administrator to leader — the project manager our industry actually needs. You know the pattern. The RFIs that should never have been needed. The change orders that exist because the work upstream was never finished. The trades you are driving instead of leading. The superintendent who feels undermined. The young APM learning to yell because nobody showed them another way. That is not a personality problem. It is what the industry has trained project manager to mean — and it is what has to change. This book is the alternative. Twelve moves a real project manager makes — every one...

This book is for people who are serious about how they can improve how their organizations run and how they can make their next large transformation project a success. It is for the process and architecture practitioners who run their programs for years and don’t get the visibility that they deserve. It is for the analysts who want to switch their practices to a data-driven approach (while not forgetting the human contributions in the analysis) and for whom the words “Digital Gemba” sound good.

Construction does not have to be a series of half-finished pieces piling up on each other while the people doing the work absorb the cost. Somewhere along the way, our industry decided that motion was the same as progress. We started measuring crews instead of work. We started rewarding the people who looked the busiest instead of the people who finished the cleanest. And we wondered why every project ended in a punch list mountain, a margin we could not find, and a team too tired to be proud of the building they just built. That is not flow. That is friction wearing a hard hat. One Piece, ...

Every failed software project has a confession buried somewhere in its post-mortem. It usually reads something like this: we didn't really understand what the users needed. Or: the requirements kept changing. Or, most damningly of all: we built exactly what they asked for, and it wasn't what they wanted. Requirements failure is the original software sin. It is the problem that sits upstream of every other problem — the miscommunication that multiplies across months of development, compounding silently until it erupts at delivery, when it is far too late and far too expensive to fix. ...

You may be a project manager or a stakeholder with "street smarts". Maybe you have expertise in the nuts and bolts of project execution. Or you might be a "book smart" expert on the rules and tools of the trade. Whatever your strengths, most project managers agree it's a juggling act to balance people and processes. Nearly every project requires a balance of both practical and conceptual skills. Now you can fill in the gaps to gain a perfect balance of the two.

Every software project that has ever slipped its deadline, bloated its budget, or shipped with embarrassing defects has one thing in common: someone, somewhere, lost control of change. A line of code was altered without authorisation. A specification diverged silently from the product it described. A version was released that no one could fully account for. Configuration management — unglamorous, procedural, indispensable — is the discipline that prevents all of this. And yet it remains one of the least understood and most frequently neglected practices in software development. Software...
