context switching - the state of mind when doing several projects at once
DESCRIPTION
These slides were presented during the TOBIUS PPM day on March 27th 2014. The goal was to initiate a discussion about resource management and increasing people utilization by assigning them to different projects during the same timeframe. It's based on: http://tastycupcakes.org/2013/11/three-projects-three-experiments/. One of the suggestions that came out of the team is based on an article by Mitch Lacey : Team Consultants. https://www.mitchlacey.com/blog/structuring-the-team-in-scrum-agile-projectsTRANSCRIPT
