ASVPM Meetup: How Does Work Work? The First Principles
Details
Our next Agile & Scaled-Value Project Management Meetup hour is scheduled for September 8th, 2022.
Time: 12:00pm PDT / 2:00pm CST / 3:00pm EDT
Topic: How Does Work Work? The First Principles
Our Guest Speaker is Andrew Webster
An introduction to the meetup: Nothing seems to work! Everything seems to work! Which framework? Which methodology? Who’s right? Who’s wrong? How can we ever tell?
Wikipedia defines a “First Principle” as “… a basic proposition or assumption that cannot be deduced from any other proposition or assumption.” This session might just save you many years of hard-earned experience. The framework marketplace is a duck-hunt of competing silver-bullet solutions, and it can be very costly and wasteful working out which would help you, in your specific situation.
So you’re going to be introduced to a few very simple criteria to assess your situation, make excellent decisions about how to approach that situation, and stay on course as your navigate our increasingly complex world.
Takeaways:
- A simple yet sophisticated situational assessment approach
- A fundamental reason for almost all misunderstandings in the workplace
- The core economic structure of worthwhile work.
