Agility requires good preparation
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
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.
