Signatories of the Declaration of Interdependence Click here to add your name to this list of people signing the Declaration of Interdependence. Name Organization and Comments Markus Koerner Competence Centre for Systemic Project Management, University of St. Gall, Switzerland We start from the observation that traditional PM is too cumbersome to be of much value for complext projects. Therefore, we are revisting project management methodology from the perspective of ’systemic’ vs. ’traditional/linear’. Systemic is closer to common sense, and much more practicable (... and we don’t speak of ’systemic’ à la Kerzner). Our aim is to develop/adapt a set of ’integrative/systemic’ methods that directly tackle complexity as the project manager’s problem. In 2004 we worked with 8 global companies to develop an integrative methodology to manage organisational change projects (unfortunately results are up to now only available in German). We are now looking at methods for project portfoliomanagement and new product development (in the latter case, it appears that Jim Highsmith has already done most of the job required). Eric Willeke SEP, Inc Wayne Allen Consultants Guild Larry Weismantel Computer Solutions Michael Arnoldus Mu Mick Miller Microsoft Peter Williams   Diana Larsen FutureWorks Consulting LLC Bernard O’Flynn   Richard Leavitt Rally Software Development APM practices have given me a new lexicon for how I describe and view my value-add as an executive stakeholder. I applaud the objectives of the DOI and believe the disciplines descibed here are survival imperatives for the software-driven organization. Ryan Martens Rally Software Development What can I say, we build hosted tools for agile project management. I declared my interdependence long ago! Chris Shinkle SEP, Inc Young Joo The Princeton Review Dennis Stevens, former PMP Dennis E Stevens, Inc These six objectives in project and product management organizations (or management in general) are clearly superior to the current methods of management in most organizations. Daily, I observe the carnage from pathological behavior in organizations and the gritty determination that those organizations use to defend wasteful and destructive practices. In support of the soul-crushed masses, I declare my fervent support for this declaration of independence. Matthew De George ManageWithoutThem.com Andy Lawrence   Gordon Cloke Yahoo! Inc. This declaration captures a collaborative paradigm of leadership and management that I have long sought to instantiate within projects in which I participate. I am delighted to see the principles of agility propounded and applied in this dimension. Frank Patrick www.focusedperformance.com/blogger.html Hubert Smits Keen to learn and discus the impact of agile principles on the management of teams. Keen to learn and discus what management or managing is. Kean to learn and discus the link between agile management and servant leadership. Brian Kennemer Projectified Joel Semeniuk Imaginet Resources Corp Brian Carter Sapient Corporation This declaration really highlights a number of things that I think will really resonate with my organization. In particular the explicit reference to ROI, the focus on the individual as the driver of value creation and the group accountability are all very powerful. Kevin Aguanno aguanno.com Tom Godbold tgodbold.com Finally -- a group of folks who get it. Geoff Clawson Washington Mutual Hans J. Andersen Nordea John D’Arcy IT Practice A/S "Delivering value to the customer every hour" Craig De Ruisseau   Eric G. Myers EGMStrategy John Lasby Advanced Micro Devices Dane Falkner SurgeWorks So where does it go from here? The declaration is spot on and several of us in the agile community have been proponents for years. I like this declaration because Agile Software Development Methods are hitting walls where ever leadership falls short of valuing the principles within the declaration of interdependence. David Spann Ralston Consulting Group The statements found in the Declaration are key to creating Agile Organizations: the next great wave. It requires specific leadership behaviors and organizational structure, but those who catch the vision are destined to create significant results. Bob Marshall Falling Blossoms I very much support the stated aims and objectives of the Declaration. I have worked with agile software management techniques for a decade and a half now, and have brought these techniques to a wider audience myself over the most recent five years or so.

Mike Mannion Cutting Edge, Switzerland The DOI is wholly concurrent with the vision and mission of Cutting Edge, which is to assist in the transformation of IT organisations from "financial black holes" to true value creating entities, through understanding of uncertainty, systems/process behaviour and human psychology. Kathleen Mayfield I am a certified PMP and for the longest time thought I was a lame project manager because I could not bend reality to match my software project plan. The more rigor I added, the slower things went. Very frustrating. Over the last few years I have tried to apply some of the XP principles to the project management and am extremely happy to see that folks with much bigger brains than mine are advocating and documenting this. Thanks! James Konecny   Matt McKnight LMN Solutions The Declaration of Interdependence is key to understanding the most expedient way of getting project management right.

I can understand why some would resist pair programing and test-driven development but I don’t understand the resistance to continuous integration.
