Our Agile Approach
What WE Love about scrum
Focus on What is Known
Scrum is founded on lean thinking and empiricism. Empiricism asserts that knowledge comes from experience and making decisions based on what is observed. My management style embraces experience, adaptability, and analysis as our most powerful tools for productivity.
Bottom-Up Intelligence
Bottom-up intelligence is about inspecting and adapting progress at the point where the skilled work is done, so empirical evidence can be quickly acted upon by development teams empowered to self-manage. I believe that the people doing the work know best and should make their own development choices.
Fail Fast, Fail Small
Scrum focuses on iterative solutions for frequent delivery of functioning increments. The idea is to create a short feedback loop from the drawing board to the client and back to the drawing board. A short feedback loop allows for nimble teams to “fail fast” and get back on track with minimal time wasted. Transparency, Inspection, Adjustment.

Our Agile Approach
Pixeldust’s Top 7 Modern Project Management Success Factors
Agile principles and scaled frameworks such as Nexus have inspired me to focus on some new key success factors for modeling success across projects, programs, and entire portfolios.
Knowledge Sharing
Facilitate knowledge sharing through transparency in the creation, storage, sharing, and application of knowledge collectively held within the organization. It allows individuals, projects, and organizations to share best practices and prevent repeat mistakes.
Interpersonal Skills
Interpersonal skills allow project professionals to engage with stakeholders and each other as project professionals with leadership, emotional intelligence, and effective communication.
Agility
Agility is a broad set of principles for iterative and incremental development throughout the project life cycle. This helps organizations respond to complex and changing requirements quickly.
Training and Certifications
Encourage team training and certifications for continuous improvement. This can take two forms: formal training with certifications or broader informal learning processes such as mentoring and research.
Diversity
Projects are made up of individuals with different backgrounds, abilities, and ways of working, based in different locations. Nurturing diversity can bring about higher performance because of different experiences and perspectives.
Team Ethos
Nurture shared values amongst all team members including a commitment to respect, transparency, collaboration, openness, trust, and honest communication.
Sustainability
Sustainability balances the environmental, social, economic, and administrative aspects of the working environment to meet the needs of team members.
