Describe a complex project that could be completed using a Hybrid Model. Describe the hybrid model? Why do you feel that this model is better for this type of project? What would be the impact of completing the project using a different approach?

Case Study Link:Going with the Flow: Agile Development at Dell | Harvard Business Publishing EducationCase Study Overview: In February 2017 the Team Project Manager and Flow Project Coordinator for Dell Technologies-Limerick (Ireland), is preparing for a review with Dell’s Systems and Processes Improvement board, early in a transition from the use of one agile software development method (Scrum) to another (Flow, which applies lean manufacturing techniques to software engineering). The new manager has been on board for less than six months. With ten years’ prior software development experience in Brazil, he moved to Ireland when hired by Dell. Dell is midway through its attempts to transform from a manufacturing-heavy strategy to an IT-supported service-heavy strategy; its recent acquisition of EMC is an important step in that direction, and executives expect Flow will help globally-distributed software developers produce higher quality code, faster, in follow-the-sun mode. The Flow coordinator/champion recognizes Flow is a complex innovation; it will take time and focus for busy software developers (who only recently mastered Scrum techniques) to master new Flow techniques. The champion is also concerned that needed digital Kanban functionality (essential for supporting globally distributed teams using Flow) has not yet been approved or provided by the Dell IT organization in Texas; this and other obstacles are impeding the developers’ transition to Flow. Keen to demonstrate his commitment to help Dell achieve these aims, he worries that some executives expect performance improvements sooner than teams can realistically deliver. He seeks to persuade executives to be both patient and helpful. As he plans his 20-minute presentation for the next day’s meeting, he is told to keep his remarks to executives simple: highlight no more than three messages.Questions:
What should Ferreira do next to accelerate Flow Adoption?
What three points should Ferreira make at the 7 Feb 2017 SPI Board Review?
Review the seven lean manufacturing principles and demonstrate how Ferreira used them when implementing Flow.

Case Study Overview:
In conventional business and government megaprojects–such as hydroelectric dams, chemical-processing plants, or big-bang enterprise-resource-planning systems–the standard approach is to build something monolithic and customized. Such projects must be 100% complete before they can deliver benefits: Even when it’s 95% complete, a nuclear reactor is of no use. On the basis of 30 years of research and consulting on megaprojects, the author has found two factors that play a critical role in determining success or failure: replicable modularity in design and speed in iteration. The article examines those factors by looking at well-known megaprojects, both successful ones, and cautionary tales.

Meanwhile, projects (which in volve
the changing of organizations) are
increasingly driving both short-term
performance and long-term value
creation—through more-frequent
organizational transformations, faster
development of new products, quicker
adoption of new technologies, and so
on. This is a global phenomenon. In
Germany, for example, projects have
been rising steadily as a percentage of
GDP since at least 2009, and in 2019
they accounted for as much as 41% of
the total. Precise data is hard to come
by for other countries, but similar per-
centages are likely to apply in most other
Western economies. The percentages

erfully, projects
have displaced
operations as the
economic engine
of our times. That
shift has been a long time coming.
During the 20th century, operations
(which involve the running of orga-
nizations) created tremendous value,
and they did so through advances in
efficiency and productivity. But for most
of the current century, productivity
growth in Western economies has been
almost flat, despite the explosion of the
internet, shorter product life cycles, and
exponential advances in AI and robotics.
