Training "Agile and Hybrid project Management in Industry"

Introduction

Agile concepts and tools first come from software development but SolidCreativity makes Agility efficiency available to all innovative and industrial domains.

Project management evolved

The need to increase productivity, theorized by Taylor and Gantt, then applied in the 30's by Ford, formalized the assemble line work, Gantt chart planning and V cycle. Later, the will to master risks and quality, structured in the 70's with ISO or 6 Sigma for example, drove companies to continuous improvement and matrix organization.

Unfortunately, this is not enough to really manage some projects:

  • Innovative projects (products, service or process) / Early phase, very creative
  • Projects with many unknowns / Projects being systematically late
  • Complex projects (Gantt chart with no link with reality) / Multi* teams (*like in multidisciplinary, multicultural, multisite...)

Agility answers these new needs

Agile management of complex and innovative projects

Training Objective

You will learn how to efficiently manage your industrial projects during early phases; from idea to innovation.

Hands on training

Using what you've learned, since the second day of training, gives new reflexes and makes the difference. At the end of the training, you have an Agile toolkit to efficiently add Agility to you project management processes. Following the training, a coaching can help to spread agility in your company.

Some cases where Agility is required

  • Early phase of an industrial project
  • Fresh start of a problematic project
  • Running multidisciplinary and multicultural team on several sites
  • Creating Agility between gates or strict milestones
  • Projects with loads of unknown or risks

Agility adapted to R&D / R&T in industry

  • The right quality, right in time (no over quality)
  • Scrum adapted to industry (complex physical objects, processes and gates, Pluri* Teams (*sites, projects, cultures, domains...)
  • Risk management and priorities in industry R&D
  • Interface between Agility and the rest of the world (services, providers, client...)
  • Agility and V (Hybrid-Mixed) in between gates and milestones
  • Visual management, mesurable objectives

What you get from the training

Knowing how to manage a project of your industry with Agile approach and tools

  • Know the pros and cons of traditional, hybrid/mixed and Agile project management
  • Identify if a project could benefit from Agile or Hybrid/Mixed
  • Understand how Agile can be possible in your domain and beneficial to your company
  • Know how to express objectives and divide them in sub objectives (not tasks)
  • Manage risk during the project by prioritizing objectives
  • Estimate and track the right quality level
  • Knowing enough of the Agile jargon to use the tools
  • Getting estimates with a Poker Planning session and tracking progress
  • Using (Solid)Scrum tools adapted to your industry, with roles, meetings... with no "software development" dictate
  • Having used tools and practices on a real project

Training content

Walkthrough

Interactive examples show the differences between projects that can be handled with the traditional project management approach (V / cascade for example), and project (complex, R&D, early phases...) that would benefit from an Agile or Hybrid project management (what project, when, why...).
Agile project management is presented with new concepts and tools, easy to use to maximize the result based on measurable objectives and smart risk management to achieve the right quality in time.
The learning curve starts with games and exercises to end with real Agile work on your own projects.
