Lots of good content and links in this short video on a key topic for agile PM and product management. (Though some of the production decisions can be a bit distracting).
Tuckman Ladder
Here is a one-minute explanation of a useful, long-standing model of project team evolution – the Tuckman Ladder. This model is useful largely as a way to inform team members about “where they are” in a project, from an internal/team perspective, that is, a way that does not rely on scope, schedule, or budget frameworks. […]
Scrum vs. Kanban
Nice 5.5′ video explaining these two approaches to agile project management. It is also a useful introduction to PMi’s 6 Disciplined Dgile Delivery lifecycles, of which, 4 are based on Scrum and Kanban.
Focused Solution Team
A type of Disciplined Agile (DA) team. It was once called “Dedicated Product Team”, a label that provides a useful basic definition. The more detailed explanation here is accessible through and organized via PMI’s DA Browser. It is a lecture style with a slide deck, but also includes a 12′ video. https://www.pmi.org/disciplined-agile/focused-solutions-teams
Story Points
Good 10 minute explanation of the role of estimation in agile generally, of story points specifically, and of techniques for story point estimation. Some worked examples, and nice whiteboard in support.
Project Progress Tracking via EVM
Solid 18′ video offering a clear explanation via a worked example.
Overview of Daily Scrum
Nice 3′ video. The focus is on the daily scrum per the Scrum Guide, but it also provides a useful overview of how project teams organized as agile steward daily work during an iteration.
Release Planning via User Story Mapping
On this topic, here is a very nice 2′ video. Though done as a CM, it is quite useful.
Lean Roadmapping
Here is a fine 43′ presentation on the topic of “lean roadmapping”. It connects a) product discovery, risk management, and day-to-day project work to b) corporate goverance, “North Star” objectives, and power relationships between C-level and project teams. As presented here, the work of “roadmapping” corresponds in many ways to what is also called in […]
Team Risk Management
Very practical 9′ video focused on risk identification early in plan-driven projects. It also paints a bigger picture of risk management as a collaborative activity, an activity that a) reduces uncertainty, b) builds the team, and c) can create useful process assets for the performing organization as a whole.
