Webinars

The 'Fuzzy Front End' of agile initiatives, product strategies, and project management is where ideas are born but also where many projects falter. This critical phase requires a nuanced approach to navigate the often murky waters of project initiation and planning. This webinar, drawing on insights from industry experts like Gene Kim, Jez Humble, Don Reinertsen, and Joshua Arnold, will explore strategies to enhance agility and efficiency in this initial stage, setting a strong foundation for the entire project life cycle. We will cover:

• The importance of making work visible, limiting work in progress, and reducing batch sizes to improve flow.

• Techniques for mapping the value stream from idea capture through development to live production, highlighting value-added work versus waste.

• Strategies to decentralize decision power, allowing for quicker, more effective project initiation and planning.

• The critical role of economic frameworks like Cost of Delay and CD3 in prioritizing high-value work and qualifying project commitments.

This session is tailored for project managers, Agile coaches, and anyone involved in the early stages of project development. Attendees will leave with actionable insights to shorten their 'Fuzzy Front End,' enhance the agility of their project life cycles, and ensure that high-value projects are identified and nurtured efficiently.
