Description

People have very strong visual processing capabilities that allow them to see problems/solutions and create a shared understanding. Often this shared visual understanding is a trigger for change for the better. Unfortunately this visual capability is heavily underused in most projects and programmes; including agile projects. From our own experience with large (agile) IS projects and programmes we have learned that lack of shared visual understanding is repeatedly a root cause of failure. Visual Project and Programme Management is elegant in its simplicity. It improves project delivery performance by improved stakeholder communication, team collaboration, visibility and buy-in, at all levels and all directions, whilst reducing project administrative effort and cost. We will discuss how visualization needs to go beyond the visualization of work or tasks on a Kanban or task board. A key part of this presentation is about what exactly needs visualization to gradually create the cornerstones for a virtual project room. Different examples of boards from large IS-, product development and change programmes will be shown. When used together, these different types of boards will improve your agility and stimulate a more balanced decision making when making complex trade-offs. We will show that visualization is an essential ingredient for agility at a serious scale.

Benefits for the attendees

The presentation is a great exploration of the why-how-what of visual management. Participants will learn how to construct a virtual project room that creates a shared visual understanding and triggers change towards more agility. They will be provided with practical examples of visualisation that goes beyond the visualisation of work; including risks, opportunities, outputs, outcomes, improvement and change.
