An Effective Written Presentation week 5

What are presentations today? Can you make a written presentation? Or does written mean you have a few power point slides with some graphics that glean over what you are attempting to convey?

A purely written presentation would probably look something more like a research paper. Something that rolls up all your thoughts and wordily depicts them in a readable format. Is this blog a written presentation?

We gave presentations in class this past Wednesday. Kind of a mid term roll up of where we are in our projects. Since my project consists of probably 80% study for the PSM test, there wasn't much direct information I could talk about. I did however take the opportunity to speak on the wins and the troubles I have had working to try and implement some of the project management techniques I have been learning at work.

Overall it wasn't hard to fill the 10 minute talk time. I was able to cover everything just as my timer was reaching zero. Only a couple questions and I was done. I would count that up as a success!

Where the real challenge is going to be is using scrum in the workplace. Traditionally Scrum is used by software development teams. Where I work, most of our product lines are part of a depot environment and a lot of the processes are based upon not knowing the reason the unit is not working correctly. This leads to stratification of production lines. And while the type of work if similar, there could be hundreds of different units being worked at one time all with their own process and procedure. There are use cases where Scrum is used in manufacturing plants and I can see how it can be implemented there easier than in a repair facility. One of the hurdles is, that five of the same units may be broken in five different ways. How do you break that out? can you scrum the process? the execution? What do teams look like in that sense?
