🔥 There’s one skill that separates great IT Project Managers from everyone else-project tailoring. Most project managers get stuck trying to learn every new tool and process out there. They dive deep into theories but still struggle to deliver projects on time and within budget. It’s frustrating. The truth is, great project managers don’t try to do it all-they focus on tailoring simple processes and tools that work best for their team and projects. That’s what creates transparency, predictability, and results. But here’s the thing-tailoring isn’t just guessing what might work. It’s about knowing three critical components: 1) Understanding project management on a deeper level. 2) Knowing exactly what to tailor. 3) Applying it effectively in real companies with real people. That’s why I created the Professional Development Plan for IT Project Managers-to help you master project tailoring and finally become the project manager who delivers every time, no matter the challenge. ✅ Click the link below to get your development plan now and take the next step toward mastering project management. itpmschool.com/get-plan?
It looks like a project manager point of view. Isn’t it? But it looks cool to be project manager. Project manager is a super hero when SM and PO don’t have a lot of responsibilities? Including SAFe is a way to scale agile team with the project managers point of view. And finally, project manager is for project context and not especially Agile when SM and PO are for products in Agile context. Isn’t it ? So maybe it’s one of the big differences, including with all you can think about Agile (teams autonomous, etc).
I think the problem is not in the comparison of roles. Right now, lots of companies like (PMI and APM) put effort to systemize and standardize Project Management. With each edition PMBOK Guide creates a more solid vision of project management and its application. On the other hand, SCRUM remained on the same spot. For many years, there’s no clear recommendations on what to do in non-agile organizations. The one that don’t or can’t want to make the transformation as Scrum Guide prescribes it - with the hands of Scrum Masters from the bottom.
Project Management Basics Not sure to understand. Do you agree that scrum is « just » a framework and nothing else ? It can explain scrum remained on the same spot maybe? I tell that but I agree scrum is old and we can find better framework to be Agile. And just to be sure, do you agree scrum is not for project? And do you agree that scrum is for an agile context and so the idea is to not adapt it to a non-agile context? If yes, the good video to do is to stop to try to do some « vs » video because a project manager is for projects and often on non-agile organization (that’s why we need so much communication 😉by the project manager maybe 😉) when scrum master and PO are for products and agile organization. Isn’t it?

Dmitriy, Good job and well put. Two (2) years after original posting, your explanations are true-to-point. Since this presentation, the Scrum Guide has been update for 2020 with clarifications and less!! coupling [fewer pages] of prescriptive processes [hence more agile!!]. The guide can be obtained from Scrum.org at : www.scrum.org/resources/scrum-guide
I think Scrum doesn’t need a new guide to generalize the idea. Scrum needs practical tips and case studies on how to implement it and overcome common challenges.
Thank you for the video. Great breakdown of the roles. I'm tired of looking at job postings looking for a "Scrum Master/Project Manager." Those two roles are nothing close to each other. As a Scrum Master, I do not have to sign a project charter or do a WBS. I also don't deal with the financial, HR & logistic aspects of the project. If anything, a scrum master is more of a facilitator/coordinator.
You are totally correct as for the main role and responsibilities of a PM and Scrum Master. Nevertheless, they do combine well in one person. You may want to watch my explanation on Agile Project Management and how to combine the two roles: th-cam.com/video/jXrmTVWr4MU/w-d-xo.html
Scrum Master is a facilitator/coordinator is a facilitator/coordinator. Scrum Master has bigger responsibility beyond just facilitating/coordinating. th-cam.com/video/trKbyVQQz5M/w-d-xo.html
Project Management Basics in theory combining Project Manager and Scrum Master role seems like a good strategy. In practice, it can create conflict of interest.
@@scrummasterinblack, OK, what other responsibilities would you mention for a Scrum Master who works in a non-agile company. A company that does project using Scrum but beyond a scrum team, everything's done in the old way.
@@scrummasterinblack, Conflict of interest is a legal term. I would say there's a conflict in the leadership style. As a project manager, I do intentionally influence the team and product. I have an input on both. However, I don't influence any technical/architecture decisions of the team. This comes from Scrum. What else is on your mind? In practice, I work as an Agile Project Manager for many years without problems.
How about you put out a vdo and see how good your accent is... a raw thick indian accent i betccha! Are u watching this for his voice or the content? I don't think his explanation was that bad... Indian criticizing a Russian accent? Now that is phunnie!

And, yes, as a project manager, I’m biased.

Good subject!
Glad it was helpful!

Thanks for the insight.
