Adaptive Project and Work Management in the Hybrid World
Upstream Kanban – Aligning Strategy to Execution
Having been a product manager for a long time, running Digité’s Product Management since we started till about a couple of years ago, I have been passionate about putting the focus on all the work that the product management function at a product organization must orchestrate in order to ensure that the organization as a whole is working on the right things at the right time, AND making sure that that work is getting to Dev teams with the right level of detail so they can work on them without any doubts on priority of the work or the requirements of the product features to be developed.
Moving from Waterfall to Agile with Kanban
This question was asked on a project management forum which I responded to. Considering how many software teams are moving from traditional to Agile processes using Kanban, I felt it would be useful to share my answer here as well.
Estimation is (necessary) waste… REDUCE it!
The question often put before Lean-Agile coaches or consultants is – what does Lean-Agile say about Estimation? Good, bad… or ugly?

XAI (eXplainable AI) – A Contextual Introduction
Data science is not just about solving business problems mathematically but it is also about telling a story to stakeholders. It is a joy when one can draw out the “OOHs” and “AAHs” as mental bulbs warmly glow into existence as the results of an analysis are understood. More often than not, such storytelling is not possible when one bakes algorithmic outputs into products.
The Value of Upstream Kanban for Backlog Grooming
I have spoken about this topic in several conferences in India in the last year. After my talk, I would get several requests to share a “template” of the Upstream process! The people who heard me in the conference understood the context and the problem that it was trying to solve. However, it is clear this is a common problem that many teams face and hence, I decided to write a blog about it.
Here’s Why (and How) Non-Software Teams Are Adopting Agile Methodologies
Agile methodologies have come a long way since the 2001 manifesto, which was primarily aimed at software teams and considered subversive at the time. Although most companies still haven’t fully adopted Agile, the business world is waking up to its merits far beyond software development.
Agility – More to it than Method?
Like in much of life, there is a serious paradox tearing at the very heart of teamwork. In today’s Volatile, Uncertain, Complex and Ambiguous business world (VUCA for short), being an Agile business is not an option but an existential necessity. In this backdrop, when we look at work in teams and organizations, especially knowledge work, the divide between methods, versus flexibility, is as paradoxical as day and night. This is especially a challenge for large, established and successful companies. The consulting company Mckinsey has tried to address some of the paradox in their Dec 2015 article “Agility: It rhymes with Stability” (https://www.mckinsey.com/business-functions/organization/our-insights/agility-it-rhymes-with-stability)
Digital Transformation & Artificial Intelligence: Is your Organization ready?
Digital Transformation (DX) is one of the, if not the, most crucial initiatives that many organizations have undertaken or are taking up. The perfect storm of a wide range of technologies such as SaaS, Mobile, Robotics, IoT (Internet of things), Virtual Reality (VR), etc. is playing a crucial role in the Digital Transformation (DX) of companies. However, it is our belief that Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) will be the key technologies that will propel organizations through Digital Transformation.
