  • Agility requires good preparation

    Agility requires good preparation
    Mar 12 2025
    This podcast shows that careful preparation is essential for agile IT projects as well. Gerhard Friedrich criticizes the fact that frameworks like Scrum often neglect the early project phases and presents DSDM (Dynamic System Development Method) as a more comprehensive approach. DSDM covers the entire project life cycle, from the feasibility study to project completion, and integrates iterative development methods. The article highlights the pre-project and planning phases, emphasizing the importance of goals, architecture and resource planning. Friedrich suggests that combining different frameworks such as DSDM and PMI (Project Management Institute) can increase project success.

  • Distinguish objectives, constraints and measures

    Distinguish objectives, constraints and measures
    Mar 6 2025
    This podcast discusses the importance of clearly distinguishing between objectives, constraints, and actions in complex situations, particularly in projects. Objectives define the problems to be solved, while actions represent possible solutions. Constraints are unchangeable circumstances that affect the effectiveness of actions. Gerhard Friedrich, a program and project management expert, emphasizes that mixing up objectives and actions can lead to actions becoming an end in themselves. A clear understanding of this distinction is crucial to being successful in projects by quickly recognizing what can be done to make the project a success. It also shows that often even constraints that are considered immutable can be changed by appropriate measures.

    Agility requires a high degree of discipline and commitment
    Mar 4 2025
    This podcast discusses the necessity of commitments and responsibilities in agile software development projects. The podcast is based on a blog post by Gerhard Friedrich. He emphasizes that users and IT teams must have clear ideas about their respective tasks and contributions, especially in terms of strategic, economic and organizational frameworks. He argues that flexibility and agility do not mean being superficial or noncommittal, but on the contrary, require structured collaboration and professional project management. A well-thought-out IT architecture is essential to avoid a chaotic “mess” of isolated solutions. Ultimately, Friedrich underscores the importance of discipline and stable structures for the success of agile projects.
