Statistics indicate over 60% of all projects fail to meet their planned objectives. Even though Agile frameworks and collaborative teams help organizations to boost their projects’ health, rigid processes along with (established) cultural factors still dampen PM leaders’ efforts! This is true on any size of the project and at almost any organization. Even though larger and well-established organizations are suffering the most from this imposter syndrome, despite retraining their mid-level PMs and loyal talents!
David Bakhtnia strives to enhance this tedious process by applying any scientific approach (such as mathematical modeling, Theory of Constraints, n-Space System optimizations, etc.) as well as human factors (such as Emotional Intelligence, Empathy Mapping, etc.), and semantic network (among players) to improve the outcome of any project or program. He uses any-and-all possible tools and techniques collaboratively. He shares his experience in project management enlightened by Agile mindset to help reinforce the “Weakest Links” in any project that crosses human, organizational, and geographical boundaries.
