Projectplace A history of computer supported collaborative work The Speech Act Theory - a theory that describes how people cooperate using language It was the original core in the early Projectplace System. It has inspired us to understand that it is important that all involved in a project can follow what is happening, all individual actions and all the commitments people make to each other

Management = shaping behaviours
![Page 8: Lean and agile execution, Wednesday 21st January 2015](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a812011a28abff738b4769/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Use role-model leadership, instructions and core values with good examples to activate behavior you want (20% of behavioral shaping)
Give positive feedback on the behavior you want to have more of (the other 80%)
Ignore behavior you do not want (it will decrease over time)
Be very cautious with negative feedback (it will make people unmotivated, defensive and insecure)
Shaping behavior
![Page 9: Lean and agile execution, Wednesday 21st January 2015](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a812011a28abff738b4769/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Our brains are hard-wired to coordinate behavior by positive intermittent reinforcement
New knowledge about how to shape human behavior

Do you use Lean or Agile principles in your daily work?
![Page 12: Lean and agile execution, Wednesday 21st January 2015](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a812011a28abff738b4769/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Lean, Agile & Kanban
› Efficiency = to increase or maintain perceived customer value with less work
› Self-organized teams: The ones who execute the work should be the ones planning it
› Control through transparency
› Continuous improvement
› Workflows should be visible for everyone
› Kanban-inspired visual management tools
Nonlinear Management (NLM) Management techniques and strategies started to appear more than 30 years ago. Examples: Systems Theory (CAS), Concurrent Engineering, Toyota Kaizen, Lean Production
Important values and principles within lean and agile

Kanban boards, The next big collaboration trend
? How come
![Page 20: Lean and agile execution, Wednesday 21st January 2015](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a812011a28abff738b4769/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
The danger of multitasking
Many people take pride in how well they multitask. But new research suggests some big downsides to it:
› Multitasking increases the chances of making mistakes and missing important information and cues
› Multitaskers are also less likely to retain information in working memory, which can hinder problem solving and creativity
› We think we can – but it is simply impossible neurologically
› Causes cognitive impairment
› Can lead to people making objectively poorer choices, choices they later regret

Visualization & Transparency
![Page 25: Lean and agile execution, Wednesday 21st January 2015](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a812011a28abff738b4769/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Visualization accelerates learning and the ability to prioritize
Kanban visualizes work and limits work-in-progress
Limiting our work-in-progress helps us complete what we start and understand the value of our choices
Visualizing work allows us to transform our conceptual and threatening workload into an actionable, context-sensitive flow (we see what we are doing)
![Page 26: Lean and agile execution, Wednesday 21st January 2015](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a812011a28abff738b4769/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Ability to self-organize is the key to high-performance teams
Psychological projection onto the visual cards makes uncomfortable feelings easier to handle
The board is a natural gathering point to discuss issues, solve problems and learn
The kanban board makes behavior clearly visible
![Page 27: Lean and agile execution, Wednesday 21st January 2015](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a812011a28abff738b4769/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Group psychology and modern behavior science can explain why!
Collaborative planning reinforces efficient project behavior
I see ... ... therefore I can commit ... ... and deliver!
![Page 28: Lean and agile execution, Wednesday 21st January 2015](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a812011a28abff738b4769/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
› Dragging a card to the second column on the kanban board communicates that you have commited and started to do something. It increases accountability and reduces procrastination
The Zeigarnik effect promotes follow though
› Dragging a card to the last column, representing finishing a task, reduces cognitive load and perceived stress
The psychological tendency to remember an uncompleted task rather than a completed one
![Page 29: Lean and agile execution, Wednesday 21st January 2015](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a812011a28abff738b4769/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Transparency provides management control with less overhead
Control through transparency is a key principle within Lean and Agile

What kind of collboration tool should you choose? Well it depends on... › Start out with a simple solution › Make sure it can grow with you
