Topic:
Patterns of Project Behavior: Adrenalin Junkies and Template Zombies
Abstract:
Tim Lister, a Principal of the Atlantic Systems Guild, along with five of his partners at the Guild, have been compiling project patterns from their combined 150 years of project consulting, for their recently published book.We all talk about “best practices” but a tiny minority of organizations actually practices them all. But not to worry, think of “best practices” for human health. We know all about them, but very few of us actually practice them all. (Maybe if someone did arduously practice all health practices they would forget to have a life.)Tim has come to believe that project patterns are stronger than best practices. They are the habits, the decision practices, and the unstated rules of corporate culture that dominate office life.The first key is to identify your own organization’s patterns. If they are positive, how can you perpetrate them across all projects? If they are negative, how can you break the habit? Tim will get you started by describing some patterns at the individual, the project, and the organizational levels.
