I’ve been spending some time over the past few months exploring the lean side of the house and looking for things I can adapt into the agile side of the house. The most interesting thing I found was the theory of constraints. Part 1: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/ericgu/2016/04/25/agile-and-the-theory-of-constraints-part-1/ Part 2: The development cycle https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/ericgu/2016/05/17/agile-and-the-theory-of-constraints-part-2-the-development-cycle/

[...] CCPM planning results in the identification of the project’s critical chain, this is the longest path of dependent tasks and is therefore the constraint of the project which in turn determines the time duration of the project. When executing the project, CCPM focuses on the efficient completion of the critical chain tasks. At Aerosud a visual means of focus has been implemented through the use of a significant object, known as a “mascot”. A “mascot” is given to the resource performing the task on the critical chain, upon completion of this task the mascot is then moved to the resource performing the next task on the critical chain. In so doing the “mascot” moves along the sequence of tasks making up the critical chain. With a “mascot” on his/her desk, the resource must only work on the critical chain task, in so doing multi-taking is eliminated and focus is ensured. Aerosud has implemented the use of several fun “mascots” to further visually enhance the significance of the critical chain task. ...

The above “cloud” describes a generic conflict of living under the limitations of our knowledge.

Problem is that recognizing the limitations of our knowledge might…

The concept of “antifragility” has been a hot topic in the business world since the release of Nassim Taleb’s latest book. A quick overview can be found in this blog post – based on a short video intro by Taleb himself. Dr. Alan Barnard picked up the topic at this year’s TOCICO conference in his presentation “What does not kill us makes us stronger… or not”1,with the aim of showing how the Theory of Constraints can help systems (i.e. organizations, supply system or even individuals) become “antifragile”.

Throughput Accounting (TA) can be understood as a simplified accounting system based on Theory of Constraints (ToC) principles. TA makes growth-driven management and decision making simpler and understandable even for people not familiar with traditional accounting. Beyond simplifying, TA has a different approach compared to traditional accounting. The latter will focus on cost control (cost…

A ‘plan’ is a group of decisions and guidelines, most of them to be executed sometime in the future, in order to achieve a desired objective. Describing the objective, the outcome of the plan, including the criteria for determining the quality of the outcome, is the first mission of any planning. For instance, a project… Via Anthony Fouqué

Logical Thinking Process 6-days course:
From 1st to 8th of June 2016 in Paris. “Craft an actionable future and bring your organization to a higher level” Logical Thinking Process, as the name suggests, uses sound logic and a set of tools or processes to provide executives and system managers an effective method for designing organizational strategy, planning its deployment, evaluating its effectiveness, and making corrections as needed in the shortest possible time. The LTP can typically produce a completed strategy within a matter of weeks, including the required deployment tasks and activities. It provides an easy way for executives to monitor progress of strategy deployment. In the problem-solving mode, resolution of complex system problems has been designed in as short as a few days and no more than several weeks (the time required for solution implementation varies with the nature of the situation).
