Nice Presentation: Guide to Self-Organization

This is again an excellent presentation by Jurgen Appelo. I have put up a presentation from him about “The Zen of Scrum” and on “Agile Project Management” before. He is a great source of inspiration.

This is his brand new presentation on self-organizing teams. Not only is this presentation nicely designed, it also holds some great thoughts on why self-organizing teams make sense, the levels of self organization and why communication is important.

This is a must see for everyone who manages or is involved in teams and wants to improve the teams’ productivity and motivation.

Agile Project Management – Interesting Presentation from the “Agile Eastern Europe Conference”

Jurgen Apello gave an interesting presentation about agile project management at the “Agile Eastern Europe Conference” in Kiev. His approach is a mixture of complexity theory, agile best practices, some psychology and “soft skills”.

His 12 laws of software development are: 

– Motivate People
– Empower Teams
– Align Results
– Optimize Communication
– Enforce Discipline
– Restrain Growth
– Reduce Risk
– Measure Performance
– Evaluate Feedback
– Acquire Knowledge
– Manage Uncertainty
– Evolve Practices

Those are not only valid for software development projects but for all projects with creative teams. His presentation is good, so check it out.
