#project-management — Public Fediverse posts

You ran an "agile kickoff workshop." The client nodded along. Three months later: "So when will everything be done?"

That's not a client problem. That's yours. One workshop doesn't create understanding. Continuous alignment does. Stop blaming the customer for not "getting agile."

When “inclusion” fails, it is not always through one mistake.

Sometimes the whole response is wrong: the communication, the power dynamic, the timeline, the dignity of the person affected, and the meaning of care itself.

Our latest article looks at how discrimination can arrive as “project management”.

Includes two practical guides.

"We're agile, we don't need a plan."

Wrong. Agile means planning *more*, not less. Every sprint, every standup, every retro - that's all planning.

What you actually mean: "I don't want to be held accountable for a plan." That's not agile. That's chaos.

🖥️ So, a "seasoned pro" thought adding nonsensical warnings was a genius move, and when things imploded, did they fix it? 🤔 Of course not! They opted for the classic 'ignore and blame' strategy. 🏆 Complete the task? Nah, let's just break everything! 🤦‍♂️

I have developed something new for the #inventree ecosystem: a project management plugin that enables you to:
- define required parameters based on type/stage
- do light task tracking (with ideas how this could be coupled to GitHub issues/jira/openproject)
- parse and emit project data formats

This is still in alpha and requires a dev/latest instance for testing. Feel free to reach out if you are intrested, install via custom index.

The Death of Scrum – Built for a slower world, performed by those who left

Every project management tool descends from Frederick Taylor's factory floor — the guy who said the ideal worker should "more nearly resemble in his mental make-up the ox than any other type."

The interface got prettier. The assumption didn't change.

If you're moving cards across columns and updating status fields, that's not work.

🚨 Breaking News: #Meetings are the new project saviors! 🚨 Apparently, gathering a group of people to stare at each other once a week magically solves all long-term project woes. 🤔 Who knew that the secret to #productivity was more meetings? Clearly, the only thing standing between chaos and success is #scheduling yet another time suck—I mean, "forcing function." 🤦‍♂️
