E-MailBusiness Intelligence Methodologies: Agile with Rigor?
Several months ago, I was asked by one of the barely surviving dot-com companies to conduct a technical project management seminar. It took three months to negotiate a contract for a three-day seminar. When I arrived one hour prior to the seminar, the workbooks were not ready but "on their way" from Kinko's. Once the workbooks had arrived 15 minutes prior to class, I noticed that they were collated and bound incorrectly. Rather than causing panic or even mild concern, this situation raised the level of excitement among the staff, who jumped on their skateboards and rolled in to the "rescue." They manually recollated and rebound all 50 workbooks in a record time of 25 minutes. When they were done, there was cheering in the hallways, and "high fives" were exchanged among the "heroes" because they managed to "pull off the impossible" one more time. After all, class got started only 10 minutes late -- with a slightly discombobulated instructor.
