[Video] "Piems are not needed" and three more project management ideas


    “In any team of developers there are testers and devops,” - with such a start, anyone wants to urgently hang their nose in sadness. Do not succumb to provocations, do not believe the slides from megastars. In any critical situation, the source of truth is this post.


    From all over the country amateurs gathered to introduce the agile, followed by the kanban; they in the kitchens usually share sacred knowledge in the evenings. You guessed already, probably, why all this text before kat. In Yandex.Money, they held a Piemnaya, where there were no empty seats.


    Why be a product (or project), the secret to the success of cool teams, there were essays about the life of business, and how to resolve the local hell - for those who were not, everything is written down, there is a hell of knowledge with experience. Turn on the background, like on a TV.


    Product vs project: how we made friends business and development interests (Dmitry Volkov, Yandex.Money)


    I will talk about cases and my decisions that led to failures or victories in building communications between the teams of the two corporations. The first case is about how to lose a strong PM due to mutual misunderstandings on the basis of what business really needs. The second case is devoted to how important it is to explain to the team that the product is needed by the market, and how speed, efficiency and well-coordinated work of all the teams involved come with it.



    OKR & Scrum. Shake, but do not mix (Natalya Antipova, Wrike)


    I have often seen how companies decide to implement the popular Scrum, believing that a “silver bullet” has been found to succeed. In reality, in companies with large development over long distances, Scrum is not enough. Teams run in different directions, and the result ceases to satisfy the business. I'll tell you how in Wrike, while remaining flexible to change, we use the strategic planning tool OKR (Objective and Key Results) in combination with the tactical Scrum framework, and what changes have occurred.



    Kanban method and project management in a team for 30 people (Igor Filipiev, ScrumTrek)


    In the report, I will talk about the experience of using the Kanban method in the development team of an online lending service. As we managed the work flow, we agreed with the business on quarterly goals and changed plans in the process. What problems of scaling during the transition from Scrum to Kanban faced and how to solve them. I will also talk about the points of contact and friction between the links in the chain of creating the final product and share the lessons learned. The report will be of interest primarily to project managers from the IT side and product managers from the business side.



    Why modern development does not need PMs (Dmitry Kruglov, Arrival)


    PM we fell victim to the development of development processes and went out of fashion? Do modern experienced teams give up this position one by one? Have Product Owners Become Modern PMs? Is this so and what should anyone do who have connected their career with this profession?
