Using the Minimum Viable Replacement Framework to maximize modernization success!
Are you modernizing and sunsetting a legacy product?
Are you worried that your initiative will go over budget and under perform, like 80% of the modernization initiatives?
Then sign up and learn how to:
🌟 Reduce costs and timelines while delivering greater value sooner
🌟 Deliver quick wins while minimizing technical debt
🌟 Better estimate the project’s actual size
🌟 Avoid Exploding Watermelons and the Titanic Syndrome
I’ll share key insights I developed after leading a $20M on a modernization project, where we made most every mistake possible.
You'll learn:
😱 Why the Minimum Viable Product approach almost guarantees disaster.
🥳 How the Minimum Viable Replacement framework enables you to avoid costly rework.
🛠️ Ways you can quickly identify, mitigate, and communicate critical risks using the Watermelon Detector.
Listen to what others have said about my presentations, framework and tools!
"The Risk Identification, Mitigation and Communication Tool would have helped identify issues and avoided us signing a fixed price contract for a replacement, that was originally projected to be six months and is now 18 months behind schedule."
“I wish I had your framework when I first inherited the project, it would have helped identify issues and have the hard conversations much earlier.” Senior PM on a project two+ years behind schedule.
"FANTASTIC! The two of us on my team for your talk were feverishly messaging the whole time about how valuable and relevant your content is." - Feedback from Music City Agile Conference attendee
"Great tool (Watermelon Detector) you’ve built. It can definitely help you “get your arms around” the project quickly and make the risk decisions quickly." - Richard W. (Rich) Morrison Jr, CISSP, PMP, CMMC-RP
