The Fast Waterfall Project Management model offers an out of the box rapid delivery model that fits well within most organisation's delivery framework.

Staying agile under #GDPR ! We did a dry run on a new project in completing a Data Privacy Impact assessment for GDPR compliance. Some teething issues and learning to be done, but the overall feeling was that it will slow delivery down. Any other findings out there?

[Fastwaterfall @FastwaterfallPM]

For GDPR compliance must you get permission from project stakeholders to include them in any formal recorded stakeholder analysis? Also, would they be able to request access to any findings recorded? We ask, as this process can involve identifying a lack of project support.

Digital marketing uses statistical associations rules to dynamically work out that customers who bought item A often buy items B, C...and will push offers to them. Could the same method be used for auto scoring project risks? E.G. dev A, working on code base 1, for customer x =?

@Sleepio @Forbes Great news-I will follow-up via email.

Jacob Kirkland (PIforIE) puts the root cause of the violent swings in the market down to automated computer to computer trading. The response may be right, but it also shows the risk of exaggeration with AI and automated system all acting in the same way. https://t.co/Y5vfgCm42n

Some Ideas from the team at FW PM.
-fitbit heart rates, to know when meetings need a break.
-team job website visits, to predict attrition and morale.
-team birthdays, coupled with Social Network Analysis, to predict a long team lunch, night out, with next day late starts 😄.

Data Science say AI makes better decisions than humans as it can combine data from many sources. In predicting crime, it can combine weather, policing, unemployment, Super Bowl prediction.. What “left-field” data-sets should modern human PMs be integrating in delivery strategy?

[Fastwaterfall @FastwaterfallPM]

Interesting option for Social Network Analysis (SNA) on corporate social networks like Yammer https://t.co/hzULQjQSgX. It got me thinking that it could be used for understanding the relationships and sentiment of your key stakeholders throughout a project. Any real examples?

[Fastwaterfall @FastwaterfallPM]

@Sleepio @Forbes Are there plans to partner with the likes of Fitbit or another “sleep” monitoring device to feed data into the app automatically?

Last tweet from me on this thread. Does project delivery automation mean an opportunity for PMOs to be the innovation hubs for change? Traditional development of governance, coupled with assurance, may need augmentation with Data Science expertise? Debate welcome #PMO

Interesting tech company developing PM delivery software, with the potential of automation https://t.co/JDd5VbR53u #mudano. It combines machine learning, analytics and AI. The PM of the future may be a pilot, on standby to jump in, if autopilot alarms or gets into difficulty?

[Fastwaterfall @FastwaterfallPM]

Thanks for the feedback on PM practice “toothbrush” routines. With anything routine, the next question is what could be automated, to save time? Could we see PM chat-bot stand-up facilitation for knowledge workers? Could project stakeholder comms be automated? Other ideas?

[Fastwaterfall @FastwaterfallPM]

A quick survey to see which 2 PM “toothbrush” practices you would recommend?

That is things that you do once or twice a day, everyday, that improve your project ecosystem? Ours are daily stand-ups, and an informal update on progress to key stakeholders #agile #LeanStartup

Power to the people/customer! My recent Amazon purchase failed to materialise on time. The vendor’s response was a full refund, and they told us to keep the item when it arrived. In return, they begged we did not give them a bad rating. Tech driving a new balance of power 👌.

Working with a client looking to form a big data project, mining data “lakes”. They are unsure of the requirements until they analyse the data. This sounds ideally placed for a Agile/prototyping approach, but they are insisting on Waterfall. Any tips on how to do this?

[Fastwaterfall @FastwaterfallPM]

@ScrumDan Love it! I have also seen this “work around“ approach, and dip in QA, with more traditional PM methodologies. Ironically, often driven by the PM to hit deadlines. I guess this is where a good solution architect will help be a good counter balance.
