Companies that aren’t optimized for speed often don’t generate the returns on innovation and product development that they’re looking for; in fact, 42% of global innovation executives believe their development times are too long and cite it as the largest barrier to success.

Once you have a project to work on, it’s always a challenge to choose the first task. When you are late by one day on a critical path task, the project, as a whole, will finish a day late. If you are late by one day and the project won’t be delayed, the task is not on the critical path and you shouldn’t work on it. If a similar project has been done before, ask the project manager what the critical path was for that project.

Finally, assuming you’ve decided that the opportunity is a good fit for the organization, it’s important to develop a go-to-market plan that focuses on the details. But what often gets overlooked are the internal factors that can ultimately derail a project after a long period of investment. Has leadership from the relevant business unit been involved so that they’re not surprised by the project? Who will ultimately staff the project, and where does that headcount come from?

When the team is accountable to deliver on a project but are constrained to a fixed scope, a fixed launch date and resources, they will be afraid. From the very first day of the project, they know they cannot be successful and are afraid of the consequences. Keep the team small and keep them dedicated to a single innovation project. To understand the causes and conditions that create fear, look back at previous projects.

Organizational agility is often supported or hindered by an organization’s project management methodology. EVM provides program managers with advanced project data that can help them make more informed decisions and adjustments as needed based on real-time data. Thus, organizations that use EVM for project management are more suited to an agile environment. And the concept of encouraging change throughout a project is scary for traditional program managers.

One well known approach is the VC model where multiple projects are run in parallel. The trick is to start projects with the potential to deliver ultra-high returns. In a way, it’s like the VC Model, but it’s not a collection of projects run in parallel, it’s a sequential series of high return adventures punctuated by pivots. A set of high potential projects run in parallel, each using Lean’s build, show, refine method to learn at light speed.
