In Episode 032 of The JDE Connection podcast, hosts Chandra and Paul join Susan A. Moore, CBAP, AAC, PMI-PBA, PMI-ACP from International Institute of Business Analysis (IIBA) on a crossover episode of the Business Analysis Live! podcast. They delve into the intricacies of eliciting business requirements from stakeholders, including understanding and managing stakeholder emotions, the importance of empathy, and exercising emotional intelligence in handling stakeholder frustrations. The hosts also stress the significance of present-focused requirement gathering, urging listeners to fully engage with their stakeholders to uncover their true needs without prematurely jumping to solutions. Likewise, they point out how stakeholders often present solutions rather than stating their actual requirements and the challenges it can create for business analysts when eliciting requirements effectively. Techniques such as asking detailed questions, observing workflows, and maintaining a supportive environment are recommended to understand implicit needs thoroughly.

So, what happens when faculty and staff are forced to conform to an institution's processes and culture? While it seems normal, Erik Rueter sees this as forcing employees to “use a hammer to try to screw something into a wall.” That is why Erik champions human-centered design.

Erik explains how human-centered design boosts institutional efficiencies, processes and profitability in addition to faculty and staff's talent experience.To help your institution with its talent experience efforts, here are this episode's three takeaways:Understanding of what human-centered design is,How human-centered design can be applied to the complex campus environment, andWays to implement human-centered design for a great faculty and staff experience.Guest Name: Erik RueterGuest Social: https://www.linkedin.com/in/erikrueter/        Guest Bio: Erik K.

This week, Dan Neumann is joined by Christine Bush, an experienced Agile consultant, sharing how she got where she is on her Agile journey.   This episode is dedicated to those who might be new in the Agility field and are looking for guidance and inspiration to persist in moving forward on this continuous learning journey that the enables Agility. Listen to Christine's testimony about a Special Education Teacher and Agile expert, who applies and combines her training to assist organizations following Agile principles.   Key Takeaways Where did Christine start? Her education started in history and political science, but then turned toward the field of special education, where she spent almost five years.  Special education requires teachers to build specific curriculums adapted to each student's needs.  These skills are helpful now in Agile, while she helps clients achieve their particular goals. The reasons Christine turned her attention to a technology-related field: Writing a grant showed how passionate she felt about “management” tasks. During her time in special education, she researched, learned, and taught others about brand-new computer software. Christine started working for a Software Company. Joined the PMI Obtained her PMP Later, she got her PMI-ACP. Christine began her education on the Agile ways where she met all kinds of different professionals shifting to Agile. Willing to try on different roles What overlaps did Christine see between special education and a more technology-oriented environment? The common points among these fields were: - Implemented robust frameworks. - Research-based studies are in both fields' foundations. - Maslow's hierarchy of needs. - Problem-solving in general. - Collaboration and communication. - Coaching a Team. How is coaching similar in Special education and the Agile methodology? Coaching is done in different parts of the organization. Coaching is helping others grow; students or organizations. People enjoy down-to-earth examples that coaches give to define abstract concepts. Students of all ages love activities.   Mentioned in this Episode: PAL (Professional Agile Leadership) Blooms Taxonomy Turn the Ship Around! - David Marquet   Want to Learn More or Get in Touch?

Welcome to the PMO Strategies Podcast + Blog, where PMO leaders become IMPACT Drivers! PMI Talent Triangle: Ways of Working (Technical Project Management) Hey, IMPACT Driver! Let's be honest: Agile is broken. From the recent wave of tech layoffs, the post-pandemic debate over remote vs. in-office, and DEI being pushed to the sidelines, it seems the Agile silver bullet has lost its shine lately. How do we fix this?   I am thrilled to invite Agile pioneer Jesse Fewell back to the podcast this week to help answer this question.   Jesse Fewell has mentored thousands of technology professionals across 14 countries to improve their teams & companies using Agile methods. He's founded several startups, contributed to three industry certifications (PMI-ACP, CST, CEC) and PMBoK 7, and has authored publications reaching over half a million readers in eleven languages.  According to Jesse, the problems Agile faces today cannot be solved by simply forcing everyone back into the office. He believes that navigating the post-pandemic collaborative environment is an existential leadership challenge that places one of the twelve principles of Agile into question. Can you guess which one?  Register for this year's IMPACT Summit for FREE to catch Jesse Fewell's session and learn more about the future of Agile in a remote work environment, so you can achieve remarkable project outcomes from anywhere in the world.  Tune in to this week's episode to find out what's holding Agile back these days, and what we can do to fix it.  Enjoy!  Connect with Jesse on LinkedIn  Follow Jesse on Twitter  Find Jesse on Facebook   Untapped Agility by Jesse Fewell  Agile Transformation Toolkit  BAI Report: Reimagining Agility with Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion  From Chaos to Successful Distributed Agile Teams: Collaborate to Deliver by Johanna Rothman & Mark Kilby  P.S. - The world's largest virtual conference for PMO, strategy, and transformation leaders is BACK in September!

I am happy to introduce Christine Billy, MCC, to the Coaching Studio. Join us as we dive into the Karpman Drama Triangle and discover how a coach can use the model to inform their curiosity and build their own courage. Christine and I explore what it means to come to the center of the triangle and how as a coach, to move from helper to coach. Focusing on the questions and not the solutions. How our preferred role influences the work we individually need to do to find our own center so that we can show up fully with our clients and in our lives.Christine shares, "I think life is about the learning that I do too. From control to openness. That's our wisdom because we are all unique. We all have a story in life. My experience in coaching is that if you create a safe space, a respectful space, where there is no judgment on the curiosity, and you are with the person or the team, then at some point, people dare to say things sometimes that they have never said to anybody else. And um, that's what we name a moment where they realize that they can face their emotions, their beliefs, and it's not dangerous; it's a relief. So it's a unique experience."Scientist and Master Certified Coach (MCC ICF) Christine Billy is passionate about Influencing individuals, teams, and organizations at all levels.

BILL YATES:  Yeah, Jesse was putting in I can't even imagine how many hours in coming out with a new edition, especially one like this that is a big shift.  And we'll get into that shift.  One of the things that we'll talk about with Jesse is the principles-based approach in this 7th Edition.  Just to help people get a sense for what we're talking about, I'm just going to quickly list off those 12 principles.  So these are the 12 principles that are in the PMBOK® Guide 7th Edition that really drive decisions that project managers make, things like stewardship, the team, stakeholders, focusing on value, systems thinking, leadership tailoring, quality, complexity, risk, adaptability, and resiliency and change.  So that gives you a sense for the principles that help drive project managers in the roles that they fill.  We'll talk more with Jesse about that.  That's a key shift in the 7th Edition. WENDY GROUNDS:  And Bill, we also, if project managers are looking to pass their exam, we do offer some help, too, don't we. BILL YATES:  Absolutely.  The PMP Exam is our specialty.  That's really what inspired Andy to start Velociteach back in 2002.  He wanted to write a book that would help people pass an exam and achieve this goal of earning their PMP.  That is a true focus of our business, helping people pass and earn the PMP, and then helping people get better at their job. WENDY GROUNDS:  And you're going to get some free PDUs from listening to this podcast.  Listen up at the end, and we'll tell you how to do that. Meet Jesse Hi, Jesse.  Welcome to Manage This.  We're really glad that you're talking with us today. JESSE FEWELL:  Oh, I always love hanging out with the Velociteach people. BILL YATES:  Love having you. WENDY GROUNDS:  Yeah.  It's been a while since we've last talked with you.  What have you been up to in the meantime? JESSE FEWELL:  Oh, my goodness.  So we last chatted in the 2017 promotion of the PMBOK® 6th Edition.  And what I've been up to since then is I've been moving further and further into the world of agile leadership...

NICK WALKER:  Welcome to Manage This, the podcast by project managers for project managers.  This is our time to talk with you about what really matters to you as a professional project manager.  We want to encourage you, to challenge you, to give you some new ideas and perhaps a fresh way of looking at the profession. I'm your host, Nick Walker, and with me are the two guys who make this podcast happen, Andy Crowe and Bill Yates.  And Andy, today we're actually going to hone in on some questions that we've gotten from our listeners. ANDY CROWE:  I like that.  We've gotten some good feedback from our listener community.  And I'm looking forward to diving into that. Meet Andy and Bill NICK WALKER:  I think it would probably be a good idea, though, to maybe learn a little bit more about you two guys.  I mean, we've gone for so long talking to different guests, learning about them.  But who is Andy Crowe and Bill Yates?  Andy, you are an author, a speaker.  You've done so many things.  How did you get into this? ANDY CROWE:  And I'm also an existentialist, so that's a really interesting question that you're asking.  Who am I?  Why am I here? You know, Nick, I have been doing this a while.  I've been managing projects really since the late ‘80s; but technically, formally, with the title since the early ‘90s.  And seen a lot of changes come through.  You know, when I started, it's funny because I was there, you know, for the birth of Microsoft Project, and we all thought this was amazing.  And that turned out to be a really interesting thing for project managers because it could reformulate a schedule.  It could do things like that.  But it didn't make people better project managers.  Just like handing Microsoft Word to a writer is not going to make them a better writer; handing a good microphone and an amp to a speaker isn't going to make them a better speaker or a better communicator. And so, you know, when I started with this, the tools that were coming along were useful, but they also just enabled a lot of bad practices.  So I put my career and my energy into learning project management, learning how it should be done, probably learning enough to be really dangerous because then I had a hundred different ways to do something that probably just needed a simple solution. I've written a few books on project management.  I've written a couple of test-oriented resources for the PMP Exam, “How to Pass on Your First Try,” and the PMI-ACP, which is the Agile Certified Practitioner exam, “How to Pass on Your First Try.”  And then “Alpha Project Managers,” which is my favorite of the three.  It's not the one that's been the most commercially successful of the three, but it was the most fun to really get in and research the practices.  It's called “What the Top 2% Know That Everyone Else Does Not.”  And it looks at the practices that make some project managers successful and maybe sets them apart from their peers. NICK WALKER:  We're looking forward to tackling some of the questions using your background and expertise in getting into some of these things that our listeners have asked us.  But let's meet Bill Yates. BILL YATES:  Yeah. NICK WALKER:  Bill, we've heard your voice.  We've sort of gotten to know you a little bit through the podcast, but tell me a little bit about your background. BILL YATES:  So who is this guy; right?
