LAC?
In my professional career as a project manager, I have come across a lot of methodologies and best practices. I have been surprised, impressed, intrigued, triggered, and everything in between. I have witnessed things going great and just as many ending in disaster. There are a lot of ways of managing projects and a lot of training and certificates you can get as a PM. All methodologies have their own version of the truth; all have good principles but also some lesser ones. The best way of managing projects is taking the best of all worlds and making a mix, based on books but spiced by experience.
If you approach “managing projects” with common sense it boils down to:
- Doing what should be done in the most efficient way eliminating all kinds of overhead. This is the basics of the LEAN principle, the first letter in LAC.
- Being able to mitigate in case of change. Agile is often referred to as a noun, but it’s an adverb. Being AGILE is basically having the mindset of adjusting to change. All projects are unique and change is the only constant. Therefore being Agile is very important, hence the second letter in LAC.
- And the third letter C stands for CONTROL. The point of managing projects is being in control, towards the team as well as to the management. Knowing when to mitigate, when to escalate, when to coach, when to support, when to act.
so LAC stands for Lean Agile but in Control. The idea is based on experience and common sense. We value certificates and knowledge from the books and trainings but we value experience and common sense even more.
There are a lot of courses and books on project management, but no rules are universal. Nothing applies to all situations under all circumstances. You are unique, and so are your projects. Learn how to tailor project governance to specific project needs, being LAC – LEAN, AGILE, but always in CONTROL.
A group simply knows more than an individual; therefore, we call out to unite and learn from each other.
Let’s become the #1 reference in project management!
We learn from books, from experience, from our mistakes, and from each other. We do not only learn, but we also SHARE our knowledge!
We learn from each other in a FUN way, with respect for all theories and methodologies, but valuing common sense and experience from the field more.
Join our PM expert group regardless of how experienced you are. Together, we strip project management down to its core. We use our combined knowledge and experience to continuously improve our way of managing projects.
