Is CAPM+PMP certification enough to start a career in program management?
Reddit | Agile Development
by /u/SelectiveSocial
3d ago
India - Someone close to me is an architect with 2 years of work experience. The pay is highly disproportionate to the work, and there are very limited growth prospects since it is a largely unorganized sector with individual firms not paying enough. They are looking to transition to program/project management outside the construction industry. Will it be sufficient if they complete CAPM and PMP certification? If not, what else do they need to do? submitted by /u/SelectiveSocial [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Pros & Cons of mixed cadences in an org?
Reddit | Agile Development
by /u/climb4fun
3d ago
With the new fiscal year approaching, I am contemplating having all projects at our company use the same 2-week cadence starting and stopping on the same dates. It makes aggregated management reporting easier and also allows teams to collaborate on User Stories as they'd share the same Iterations in Azure DevOps (but, naturally, teams would have their own Area Paths). But some project managers are nervous about this. They want each project to decide on their own cadence for maximum flexibility. Thoughts? submitted by /u/climb4fun [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Agile / Scrum Epics - Best way to organise?
Reddit | Agile Development
by /u/Pyk666
3d ago
I am hoping to get some opinions on what the best way to split up my epics, features and PBI's (or user stories). My team works across APAC, this does not change and we do not include other geographical regions in our planning. Each project belongs to a site and is given a unique project code (e.g. ABC123), the site has a site code (e.g. SYD123 - for Sydney sites) Each site will have multiple projects over it's lifetime My 'standard' team will work on projects that cover one site My 'advanced' team will work on projects that may cover one or many sites under the same project code (yes this i ..read more

Daily stand up feels like micromanaging
Reddit | Agile Development
by /u/lizziemoon89
3d ago
I work in a team of 3 people including a manager. The team works on solving science problems and solving database and data collection problems. We recently introduced daily stand ups and ever since I feel like I am being micromanaged. The practise of answering the question what you did yesterday and what you are going to do today has a serious negative impact on my mental health. I am a very experienced scientist. I can see the value in daily stand ups in software development but for science problems I think it breaks the workers who have to do it. My boss insists that the agile process is am ..read more

SM contribution to a company if their reports are more technical
Reddit | Agile Development
by /u/someguygirl
3d ago
Luckily I am a full time SM, I have a technical background myself but with a lot of training and coaching I am able to focus less on that and help teams as an intimate outsider when it comes to code. After some restructuring I find myself with a new director of engineering who is technical and everything else to her is fluff! So, I want to keep my position but I want to pitch to her how an SM can contribute towards lowering Tech debt and technically fixing what is wrong with our software. Instead of focusing on the framework I want to focus on the architecture and improving stability of the s ..read more

Decomposing high-level user stories
Reddit | Agile Development
by /u/Shiny-Device
5d ago
I'm not sure how to approach this. From an end-user perspective, my high-level story (paraphrased) is something like "As the creator of business-critical analytic tools whose input comes exclusively from System X, I want the breadth of data available in that system to increase as quickly as possible so that I can address new use cases for staying competitive and improving our company's operations in a timely manner." Put another way, my team owns System X and our stakeholders are unhappy that adding new data takes 12 weeks. They would be much happier if it took 1. The problem is, that story i ..read more

Career Advice: What type of role do I have based on my day-to-day functions?
Reddit | Agile Development
by /u/uffda1990
5d ago
Hey all, My medium-sized org is about two years into their agile journey. Things are going well over all; I was a product manager before it began but switched to becoming the org's first ever scrum master. We now have two other scrum masters, and agile coach, and all of us report to the project management office. Here's my question; even though my role is titled "scrum master" I've actually moved on from acting as one. I haven't worked with any scrum teams for about 9 months, and my primary focus has been developing training and onboarding plans to existing teams who want to try using the Kan ..read more
