Is your personal productivity in the dumps, then use Agile!
What’s the use of knowing all the fancy project management methods and techniques if you can’t apply them to your personal life? This is a question I’ve often asked myself when I found my own personal productivity efforts in the dumps and is why I felt compelled to write a formal article on it on ProjectManagement.com with an article titled “Hacking Scrum for Personal Productivity“. Agile with its ability to adapt to change and deliver solutions in iterations seemed perfect for this.
This lead to a reader, named Dave Prior, who is on his own quest to use Kanban for personal productivity to interview me to elaborate a bit on my quest to use Scrum and Agile in general to boost my own personal productivity.
