Winning 100% Buy-In from Staff and Board for your next Nonprofit Technology Adoption

Mar 10, 2015Download as PPTX, PDF0 likes1,243 views

The document outlines 10 common scenarios for why a nonprofit technology adoption project may fail to gain full buy-in from staff and board members. These scenarios include a lack of planning for staff adoption and training after launch, not involving key stakeholders until late in the process, differing priorities between management and board, and failure to account for changes in business needs or organizational priorities. The best tip provided to ensure stakeholder buy-in is to start building relationships with stakeholders long before beginning any technology project.

The document is an assessment report from Cem Kilinc, Head of project development at Leatty, regarding the construction project in Shanghai that has faced multiple delays. It recommends establishing an intranet and quarterly meetings to improve coordination and communication. It also suggests implementing a mentoring program, team-building events, and rewards to boost employee morale. Finally, it advises calculating more delays into the schedule as a safety buffer and making all deadlines clear to avoid future issues. The goal is to remodel operations to reduce delays and allow the Shanghai project to be completed on time and successfully.

Continuous deploymentSahil Kumar

��

Continuous development allows for smaller code deployments more frequently, which provides developers better opportunities to innovate and experiment. Working in smaller batches keeps the development process dynamic and fast by allowing features to be deployed before being fully complete. It also reduces errors and makes issue resolution quicker by providing more regular feedback compared to large, infrequent deployments where problems are found later in the integration process.

Scrum agile-processEstiak Khan

��

Scrum is an agile software development process that addresses assumptions about software being difficult to predict, having emergent design qualities, and being complex. It was created by Schwaber and Beedle and aligns with the Agile Manifesto. The Scrum process involves sprints, daily stand-up meetings, and visible progression. It has advantages like improved decision making, less documentation needs, and daily updates, though it can be inaccurate for estimates, more suitable for smaller projects, and requires experienced teams.

Process vs Project: What’s the Difference and Which is the Best?Kashish Trivedi

Project management is defined as the plan to organize and deliver a specific project. It’s a great discipline when you don’t encounter the same challenge each day. During these situations, you’re required to adapt to varied circumstances and calm any chaos. Process management is the creation of processes that handle challenges first dealt with through project management. One thing for sure is that they aren’t interchangeable terms.
