Flow in Product Development Project Portfolios
The presentation emphasizes the importance of prioritizing when projects are in the queue and having a pull system for what is active to ensure that project flow. This only goes so far, as things will always come up that were not anticipated, and it may still be necessary to prioritize between running projects. We talk about using cost of delay as a way to decide which projects to focus on when there are resource constraints in the running projects.
Mark Adler Madsen is partner and co founder at Aspire Innovation, which is a consultancy with roots in both USA and Europe seeking to help manufacturers improve product development and get faster from idea to profit. Mark has spent his entire career leading and coaching product development from leading projects to building enterprise portfolio & project management offices for global businesses.

The Half Double Methodology
How does the Half Double Methodology work? It focuses on three core elements Impact, Flow & Leadership. Half Double is a project management approach based on actual human behavior, unpredictability and complexity. It has been tested and validated through numerous projects in various industries and been applied to a wide range of project types and it works.
Half Double Institute has now been established as a self owned organization and foundation, which means that all property (concept, trademarks, training materials, etc.) is now owned by the Half Double Institute. This is a huge step in diffusion of the concept with the aim to increase the success rate of projects worldwide. The Half Double Institute is an impartial, non profit organization governed by The Danish Industry Foundation and Implement Consulting Group as a foundation giving back earnings to the project management community trying to change the world a bit. www.HalfDoubleInstitute.org
Anders Hugnell has a Ph.D. in ME with focus on product development and Lean. Anders has over 25 years of experience in running both academic and industrial training programs in OPEX, Lean, product development. He started and ran the KTH (Royal Institute of Technology) Lean center for three years. Anders has also written books on Lean Management and he has been keynote speaker at several conferences in different countries.

Diving into the Theory of Constraints and Little ´s Law
When working with Lean Project Management it is important to use the right methods when appropriate. Norbert will dive into two of the most important needed to achieve a good flow and shorten lead time;
- The theory of constraints (TOC) was invented by Eliyahu Goldratt in 1984 and introduced to managers through his book titled “The Goal”. Think of it like the old axiom, “A chain is no stronger than its weakest link.”
- Little’s Law is a theorem that determines the average number of items in a stationary queuing system, based on the average waiting time of an item within a system and the average number of items arriving at the system per unit of time. It is quite critical to use Little ´s Law to avoid overburdening the people working in a project.
Norbert will explain how to use these methods in Lean Project Management.
Norbert Majerus implemented a principles based lean product development process at the three global innovation centers of The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company in the beginning in 2005. For more than a decade he was Goodyear’s lean champion in research and development. Norbert has worked most of the disciplines in the Goodyear innovation centers in Luxembourg and Akron.
In 2016, his first book Lean Driven Innovation was published. Also in 2016 the Goodyear R&D organization applied for and received the AME Excellence Award. Norbert has spoken at many conferences in the United States and other countries.
Since retiring from Goodyear in 2017, he continues to share his extensive lean expertise.
