After a collaboration of two years with several coach agile, I decided to validate my knowledge of the Scrum framework and its application. Of course, the target is to receive the PSM® (Professional Scrum Master) certification. I studied the Scrum Guide for a few weeks. You can download it here. Taking into account my past experiences, I trained myself with some exercises that you can find on several sites on the web. This is necessary to become familiar with the questions asked for this certification. Then, with confidence I passed the exam on January 2018, online via scrum.org. Here, is

Key words : Schedule, Beta Standard of Deviation, Range of Estimate of Activity Duration (EAD), Range of Estimate of Activity Cost (EAC) Beta Standard of Deviation (SD) Beta Standard of Deviation (SD) is measure of how dispersed a group of values are ; It’s the possible range of estimates. The formula is SD = (P – 0) / 6 where P = Pessimistic and O = Optimistic Range of Expected Activity Duration Based on the the value of Standard deviation (SD), we calculate the upper and lower limit values of Expected Activity Duration (or Expected Activity Cost). Range is the
Key words : Knowledge Transfert, Learning Curve, Student Syndrome, Parkinson’s Law, Triangular distribution, BETA distribution, PERT estimate Some considerations : Number of resources : Increasing the number of resources to TWICE the original number of resources DOES NOT ALWAYS reduce the time by half. Indeed, we must estimate the Knowledge Transfert costs and the Learning Curve Costs.Advance in technologies (progrès technologique)Motivation of the Team : The PM (Project Manager) must be aware of : the Student Syndrome (Procrastination ie tomorrow is better to perform this task) The Parkinson’s Lauw (when work expands to fill the time available for its completion.
Key word : SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS, TORNADO, QUANTITATIVE Sensitivity Analysis : This is a technique and the goal is to determine which are the risks that impact the most the project. What is a Tornado diagram : This is a special bar chart used in the Sensitivity Analysis. This diagram is used to compare the importance of different variables. In this chart, the data Categories are listed vertically instead of the standard horizontal presentation. The Categories are ordered so that the largest bar appears at the top of the chart, the second largest appears second from the top, and so on.
Key word : STAKEHOLDER MANAGEMENT Webinar : This Tuesday, September 24, 2019 6:00 pm, I participated in a Webinar animated by Uri Galimidi (The will to change) and organized by ProjectManagement.com. Stakeholder Management : This webinar focused on the Stakeholder knowledge area based on a completed project from Uri “A Billion Dollar Project Health Framework”. Lesson learned : There will always be at least one or two stakeholders who will be resistant to your project and you will not be able to change that, whatever you do. You will need to closely monitor these stakeholders and take care to mitigate
Key words of Communication Model : SENDER, ENCODE, MEDIUM, NOISE, DECODE, RECEIVER, FEEDBACK, ACKNOWLEDGE Medium : How the message travels (ex. email server, …). Noise : A little joke in the message and you can’t tell if I’m joking or not ( = distract the message) _ Or, email server is down and you can’t get the message. Barriers : That means that 2 people CANNOT communicate. Acknowledge : You respond to this message. It can be a body langage ; Ex. : Louison disagree with the message, based on his body langage.
Types of Communication: PUSH, PULL, INTERACTIVE Push communication : This is information is sent to a group of individuals or Stakeholders via emails, memos, letters, reports, faxes, voice mails, blogs, press releases. This ensures that the information is distributed BUT does not ensures that it reached or was understood by the intends. Pull communication : It can be web-portals, intranets, e-learnings, lessons learned, databases, knowledge repository. Interactive communication are events, meetings, conferences, vidéo conferences where informations are exchanged.
Communication Channel : This is the total number of potential communication channels between the Stakeholders. Example : As a Project Manager, you had 7 Stakeholders to communicate with. Hence, you have 28 communication channels. Two new Stakeholders has been added with whom you also need to communicate with. How many communication channels do you have ? Answer : You have now 7 + 2 + 1 (you as a Project Manager) = 10 Stakeholders. Therefore, the number of communication channels = (10 x (10-1)/2) = (10 x 9)/2 = 90/2 = 45.
Key Concepts of Communication : How to avoid the misunderstanding in the written communication ? Apply the rules of the 5 C’s (see picture attached)
“Work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion” – Cyril Northcote Parkinson – A brilliant satirical essay published on November 19, 1955 in The Economist magazine begins with this quote that is so often seriously called law. A practical example : Yesterday, a colleague is busy monitoring the occupation of his resources on one of his projects. The last check was almost a month old. Surprise! One of his resources that was allocated to 7 days on his project during this period actually charged 15 days of work ! “But what work did he do on
Thursday 12/09/2019, I participated in a presentation of PMI France Nord concerning a new Coaching & Mentoring program. This meeting was organized by Laurent DAVID and animated by Joanne TITTLEY. I am very interested to participate in this Mentoring program because it will allow me to exchange and grow with other colleagues, share good practices in project management, expand my professional network. Between my professional life as a PMP and my personal life, I do not have much free time. However, I feel that this investment will be very beneficial to me andtherefore to my Client. The Mentoring program will
Phase exits, Phase gates, Decision gates, Stage gates, and Kill points represents the same meaning. It is the point in time during the execution phase of the project where the stakeholders or the sponsor review the progress and decide on whether to continue or kill the project. This is a PM Technique in which the project is divided into stages (or phases) separated by gates.
1 – Risk Owner : The Risk is an ‘uncertainty that matters’ and that affects the objective of the project. So, the question is : “Who does it matters ? “. If it matters to me, I need to think about it, to record it. So I am responsible of managing it. The person who should own the risk is the person who owns the objective that should be affected. 2 – Risk Action Owner : It can be that I am the Owner of the risk but I can’t do anything about it myself (because it’s not in my

We use ‘Okay’ so often that this word is boring. But do you know that the spelling of ‘Okay’ is ‘Okay‘ and not ‘OK’ ? What can we use instead of ‘Okay’ ? ‘Aye Aye !‘. Example : If someone says : “Tomorrow, you should attend this meeting“, you can reply to this ‘Aye Aye !‘ which means ‘Yes, I have understood it !’. This is a casual way. This can be used for my friends and my family, NOT for professional purposes. ‘Roger that !‘. Example : If someone says : “You need to bring my laptop and my
