One of the biggest problems within the project management space is that many project managers aren’t equipped with the necessary skills to consistently deliver successful projects within their respective organizations.

Since the advent of the internet, the modern workplace has evolved to become completely different from what it was in years past. As organizations have become increasingly global both in their market reach and their workforce, the rise of distributed teams has been continuous. Many teams no longer work from the same physical space or office. Many have members working from entirely different continents.

Technology has revolutionized how we can use money. Customers can buy products without even setting foot in a physical store. Families can send money to each other, even if they’re located in different parts of the world. Investors can even buy or sell a stock with the click of a button. Finance and technology go hand-in-hand in this day and age, which has led to the birth of a new industry: Fintech.

Kanban is one of the most popular ways of working and if your organization isn’t already using it, then there are a number of reasons to start. In a webinar, David J. Anderson illustrates why organizations should choose to implement Kanban as well as when and how to go about adopting it. This article contains a summary of the ideas shared and we hope you learn more about Kanban through it. You can watch the full webinar here!

In a recent webinar, we hosted, Sudipta (Sudi) Lahiri, Head of Engineering and Products at Digité guides us on what Agile Program Management really is and how Kanban can effectively aid in managing a program. This article summarizes the ideas he shared and we hope you learn something valuable after reading it.

In the current “project economy”, Project management has become one of the most crucial business functions. Projects are typically run to achieve strategic or tactical changes and improvements in a company’s operations or its growth and expansion plans. In this era of Digital Transformation, companies have to continually execute strategic and tactical initiatives to stay ahead of the competition and to make money.  Ensuring that these initiatives are executed flawlessly is where effective Project Management plays a crucial role.

Projects are an organization’s backbone for growth. They are a series of tasks that need to be done for a business to meet a certain metric, such as revenue. For a project to be successful, it must be meticulously planned from start to finish. While this can be a challenging task, making a project plan will make executing a project much easier.

There has been a rapid increase in the interest around bringing together outcomes (via OKRs), financial and portfolio planning (via PPM systems) and execution tracking (from EAP and DevOps systems). However, in a typical enterprise, these functions are all set up, planned and tracked in different systems; how then, can we get a unified view of how (and if) our projects are moving the needle on the business outcomes? Complicating this view is the fact that achieving a business outcome is not a direct result of project execution success; what data then needs to flow through the system, so that stakeholders have visibility into progress, and adjust and allocate resources accordingly? In a recent webinar we hosted, Avinash Rao, VP – Product Management at Digite talked about why and how modern businesses have to align their OKRs to PPM and execution systems and create optionality. This article summarizes the ideas he shared and we hope you enjoy and learn from this reading.
