Lean Agile Glasgow

For our May event, we've got a workshop that's all about planning!

How Long Will It Take? A Planning Workshop

How long will it take? - When will it be done? - What even is it?

What is a reasonable Increment? What is an MVP? Does anybody really know at the start?

Repeatable tasks or Projects are predictable, right? Well, data from the Perinatal Institute, shows that an estimated due date for a newborn, is just 4% accurate. The PMI has effectively stopped tracking Project Accuracy, too variable, too complex, too depressing?

This workshop is an exercise in planning and predictability. Often quoted: “plans are worthless but planning is everything”, we will explore that and more. Planning something too big, too complex or just too many variables, is not simple and shouldn’t be. It is also not a single act.

Leadership needs to understand that predicting timelines should be reviewed and amended constantly. Continuous Planning is a thing!
So if you’re a leader, part of any planning in your organisation, or just looking for a reusable workshop to highlight how plans change. This is for you!

No Gantts, No AI… only HI - Human Intelligence - and a voyage of discovery.

Everyone is welcome and we usually have a good mix of people from different backgrounds so if you have something you'd like to talk about, or you just want to listen and learn, then please join us.

We run this as a zoom event, with the link appearing for confirmed attendees in the event invite shortly before the event starts.
