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?

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 =?

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. vox.com/2018/2/6/16978508/st…

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 😄.

Interesting option for Social Network Analysis (SNA) on corporate social networks like Yammer swoopanalytics.com/. 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?

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

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?

Do others experience a drop off in attendance by business people at the daily Scrums during the “dry middle of the Sprint? If so, any ideas on how to market to them to keep it interesting and keep them coming? #agile #Scrum #scrumban #Kanban #fastwaterpm
