Building Hyper Performance Scrum Teams: Using Crew Resource Management Techniques from Aviation Have you ever been part of an organization or team where leaders failed to accept input from junior team members and a project or initiative failed? Now imagine being part of a team flying an aircraft where either failing to share information or not acting on critical information in a decisive manner can cause the aircraft you're in to crash. In the Flight Decks of today's aircraft, open communication and the ability to respectfully question authority are essential cognitive and interpersonal skills every crew member must learn so as a team they can mitigate the unforgiving risks inherent in their complex environment. Thirty years ago flight deck culture was entrenched in hierarchical command and control management. This is very similar to the legacy of waterfall command and control leadership styles that is impeding agile transformations around the globe.

Stuck on Your Agile Journey? - Become a Learning Organization Although the adoption of an agile framework may be a good first step on your improvement journey, your real goal is to become a learning organization. Learning organizations are capable of developing their own fit-for-purpose Way or Working (WoW), which may be a hybrid of approaches, that enables them to out-compete others. The Disciplined Agile (DA) tool kit teaches you what agile frameworks will not - how to choose the approach for the situation that you face, continually learn, and ultimately improve your WoW. DA includes improvement techniques for individuals, teams, cross-team collaborations, value streams, and your enterprise. Knowing how to improve, and doing so effectively, is what enables you to become a learning organization. This and other IIL Learning in Minutes presentations qualify for PDUs.

James Webb Space Telescope - Leading Large Complex Global Projects What you will Learn: The James Webb Space Telescope will explore every phase of cosmic history - from within our solar system to the most distant observable galaxies in the early universe, and everything in between. Webb will reveal new and unexpected discoveries, and help humankind understand the origins of the universe and our place in it. This mission, scheduled for a December 18, 2021 launch, is a collaboration of NASA, the European Space Agency and Canadian Space Agency. We discuss the motivating science questions that required the development of the observatory, highlight the technologies, and project management challenges and lessons learned encountered during the development of this large complex global project. The James Webb Space Telescope is arguably an unparalleled engineering and technological feat, we explore the critical role of project management in making the world's largest space telescope a success. As NASA and the space industry are moving swiftly to new approaches, new systems, and far more commercial exploration (often referred to as 'new space') than previously imagined. We also explore how acquisition and project management are evolving towards that future. This and other IIL Learning in Minutes presentations qualify for PDUs.
