PM Declaratioin of Interdependence

PM Declaration of Interdependence

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The PM Declaration of interdependence is a set of six management principles initially intended for project managers of Agile Software Development projects. Later on, the name was changed to "The declaration of interdependence for modern management", as it was realized that the principles might be applicable to other management situations.

[edit]Origins

After the Manifesto for Agile Software Development was written in 2001, David Anderson, Sanjiv Augustine, Christopher Avery, Alistair Cockburn, Mike Cohn, Doug DeCarlo, Donna Fitzgerald, Jim Highsmith, Ole Jepsen, Lowell Lindstrom, Todd Little, Kent McDonald, Pollyanna Pixton, Preston Smith and Robert Wysocki worked to see what management principles might be required in order to achieve an Agile Mindset in product and project management. In 2005, they published the agile project management "Declaration of Interdependence" [1]. The six principles they felt essential to modern project management (and to much of management in general).

[edit]The principles

(Quoted from [1])

"We ...

increase return on investment by -- making continuous flow of value our focus.

deliver reliable results by -- engaging customers in frequent interactions and shared ownership.

expect uncertainty and manage for it through -- iterations, anticipation and adaptation.

unleash creativity and innovation by -- recognizing that individuals are the ultimate source of value, and creating an environment where they can make a difference.

boost performance through -- group accountability for results and shared responsibility for team effectiveness.

improve effectiveness and reliability through -- situationally specific strategies, processes and practices."

Teaching and Learning

Overview:

Knowles' theory of andragogy is an attempt to develop a theory specifically for adult learning. Knowles emphasizes that adults are self-directed and expect to take responsibility for decisions. Adult learning programs must accommodate this fundamental aspect.

Andragogy makes the following assumptions about the design of learning: (1) Adults need to know why they need to learn something (2) Adults need to learn experientially, (3) Adults approach learning as problem-solving, and (4) Adults learn best when the topic is of immediate value.

In practical terms, andragogy means that instruction for adults needs to focus more on the process and less on the content being taught. Strategies such as case studies, role playing, simulations, and self-evaluation are most useful. Instructors adopt a role of facilitator or resource rather than lecturer or grader.

Scope/Application:

Andragogy applies to any form of adult learning and has been used extensively in the design of organizational training programs (especially for "soft skill" domains such as management development).

Example:

Knowles (1984, Appendix D) provides an example of applying andragogy principles to the design of personal computer training:

1. There is a need to explain why specific things are being taught (e.g., certain commands, functions, operations, etc.)

2. Instruction should be task-oriented instead of memorization -- learning activities should be in the context of common tasks to be performed.

3. Instruction should take into account the wide range of different backgrounds of learners; learning materials and activities should allow for different levels/types of previous experience with computers.

4. Since adults are self-directed, instruction should allow learners to discover things for themselves, providing guidance and help when mistakes are made.

(See computers for further discussion of this topic).

Principles:

1. Adults need to be involved in the planning and evaluation of their instruction.

2. Experience (including mistakes) provides the basis for learning activities.

3. Adults are most interested in learning subjects that have immediate relevance to their job or personal life.

4. Adult learning is problem-centered rather than content-oriented.

NARRATOR

Welcome to the module of mixed messages. In this module we teach you how to use some advanced tools to make changes to your course homepage. At the same time, we ask that you refrain from making changes to your course homepage. Thus, the mixed message!

Stay Consistent

NARRATOR

We ask you to be consistent. Emerson may have said "a foolish consistency is hobgoblin of little minds" but we argue that consistency in the service of community is not foolish. Consistency helps your students navigate the courses offered by the college. Being consistent in the navigation and controls reduces confusion for your students.

Consistent Items

NARRATOR

Be mindful of consistency in the items on the Course Home page, the links on the NavBar and the Widgets on the page.

NARRATOR

Maintain the default widgets on your course homepage: News, Updates and Events.

NARRATOR

Maintain the default links on your course NavBar.

Be Creative

NARRATOR

Be creative in the development of your course content. Make your materials engaging and entertaining. Deliver you teaching with flair.

NARRATOR

Now for another mixed message!

NARRATOR

When developing entertaining training materials, delivered with style and flair, be careful not to upload large media files. These files place a burden on the Learning Management System and the network resources on which the system relies.

NARRATOR

When you want to use a media file, always contact the Learning Management System administrators. The personnel there will assist you with the best and most efficient way to accomplish what you want to do.

Re: Virtual Learning

Dustin Weeks - Dec 18, 2008 6:02 PM

Yes! Yes! We have literally millions of high quality resources available to students through our catalogs and databases and with a little training, it is much easier to pull relevant information from these sources than the web. One big impact of the Internet has been the "democratization" of information. All information is equal! Yay! Except that all information is not equal. One of my favorite analogies for the Interenet is that it is a "vast, yet shallow, sea." There are a few islands of good, reliable, information poking out here and there and the occational iceberg of indepth research, but almost everything on the web is derivative. When you really start digging into topics, you often find this great chain of copy-and-paste back to one or two sites that might or might not be authoritative. Trying to get students to accept this is very challenging.

I agree with everyone about the need to find innovative ways to stay connected in an online class environment. One successful strategy that I've found is simply demonstrating early on in my online classes that I am actively involved and monitoring their assignments and group discussion. I also make it a required element that they demonstrate an effort to respond to my questions and comments. This tends to create a sort of "momentum" in the class where everyone seems to be more engaged and working to a higher standard because they are aware that the instructor is really engaged with them as they do their work rather then grading everthing later.

Technology in the Classroom

Ophelia Beier - Jan 14, 2009 12:56 AM

Brunner, 1991, said it best, “If our students are thrown into an online self-paced course with little guidance, interaction or a sense of community it becomes the equivalent of shipwrecking them on a virtual island.”

I will engage and guide the students into an interactive class-room activity based on written text, a series of discussion forums, case analyses, journal article summaries, and self assessments exercises via technology. I encourage full participation of in-class projects via technologies. We will have on-line homework/quizzes. The students will participate in doing their homework via technologies for different group presentations.

I will continue to impart a learning of the fundamental role that tecnology plays at home and on the global scale. Technology is a fast train and our students must be on it.

Re: Technology in the Classroom

Margaret Overbey - Jan 14, 2009 11:37 AM Last Edited: Jan 14, 2009 12:42 PM

Providing guidance and support is key to student success in online classes. Our role as instructors has become learning managers more than it has been in the past. Technology has reduced our role in delivering basic instruction.
