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.

- 12. 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

- 20. 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 If you want to read more about this: To learn more about Organize Your Mind, Organize Your Life, visit the Harvard Health Publications website.)

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)
- 26. 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
- 27. Group psychology and modern behavior science can explain why! Collaborative planning reinforces efficient project behavior I see ... ... therefore I can commit ... ... and deliver!
- 28. › 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
- 29. Transparency provides management control with less overhead Control through transparency is a key principle within Lean and Agile
