The Project Manager's Philosophy
summary
A project manager describes persuading management to colocate a newly formed team and run an Agile pilot using daily standups and sprint cadence, which led to faster delivery. The talk emphasizes that soft skills—preparing and rehearsing meetings, stopping routine complaints, and treating communication as the bridge from need to outcome—are as important as schedules for improving cooperation and delivery speed.
