PI Objective — Demystified Part II

Uncategorized
PI Objectives are found at the team level and at the program level. Of course, these cascade up to fulfill objectives at the portfolio level and enterprise level. Here, we focus on PI Objectives at the team and program levels. Simply put, team PI Objectives are key outputs of the PI Planning session. These are brief summaries — expressed in business terms — of what the team is prepared to commit to in the upcoming PI (i.e. the next three months of work). Many of the objectives will be features from the backlog (the ones brought forth to PI planning)…

Transformational Coaching: What Moves a Person to Change. Part VII

Transformational Coaching: What Moves a Person to Change. Part VII

transformational coaching, Uncategorized
Certainty. If a person feels uncertain of where the change is going... they feel threatened...they will not move forward ... avoidance-response occurs.

Transformation is Beautiful But Hard to Do

This is very true! For one, the thing that you want transformed has in itself ingrained already , hard wired into you, the system, the enterprise. Sort of a 'Muscle memory'... ingrained thoughts, action, language and habits that get triggered automatically, a reflex if you will. Take 'Tae Kwon Do' for example. They -- the students and practitioners -- do the same movement over and over again until it becomes second nature... handy in combat situations wherein decisive action is needed in a split second ... automatic reflex is needed. Once ingrained, it is hard to unlearn. Same is true…
