In June of 2018, I received an email from a couple of friends asking if I wanted to \u201cown\u201d a blogging system called www.SVProjectManagement.com<\/a>! \u00a0I already had a blog platform that I developed which contained a number of entries regarding my technical expertise as well as Agile frameworks and technical project and program management (PPM). Although I did not want another blog system, I discovered that many of the 1,300 posts on the website were very relevant and current. I felt I had a chance to save a few hundred articles authored by a variety of PPM leaders, and was learning from the wealth of information in the many insightful articles. I thought that if I was learning, then why not share the knowledge with others? Then the idea occurred to me to do this while building a community! So I shared my vision with a few close friends and colleagues and we brought this vision to reality. Through this experience, I finally found my partner to share the journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our story<\/em> starts here; let us build our village<\/em>! Now in April 2021, we are starting sprint 14 with three scrum teams of cross-functional and \u201cglobally located\u201d members. Our members are all working professionals, project and program managers with some of them between opportunities. A few of our members have found their dream jobs and left us, and some who are working at their dream jobs still help us! We know that we have a long way to go, but we started a journey together and continue to build a community of Agile PPMs who are helping us as we all learn together, in a hands-on manner, consistently getting smarter and better with each sprint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n SVProjctManagement.com was built as the first blogging system by project managers, and now, over two years into our journey, we have registered ASVPM.org<\/a> as a nonprofit organization to serve our community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n SVProjctManagement.com is the only hands-on platform that publishes the experiences and voices of Agile-minded project and program managers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We are building a global village of project and program managers with Agile mindset. This is our journey. This is our legacy. What is your legacy?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Join us<\/a> and help us<\/a> to strengthen and expand our village, or call us to help your Agile PM world at your organization. For some time, I wanted to share the story of how we started the journey at ASVPM and where we […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1561,"featured_media":20843,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"give_campaign_id":0,"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"default","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"default","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"default","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"set","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,19,6,847,849,851,850,1351],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-16816","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-leadership","category-global","category-communications","category-self-leadership","category-team-leadership","category-global-leadership-leadership","category-organizational-leadership","category-values-2"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/svapm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/ASVPM_Story2.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/svapm.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16816","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/svapm.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/svapm.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/svapm.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1561"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/svapm.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=16816"}],"version-history":[{"count":15,"href":"https:\/\/svapm.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16816\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":27310,"href":"https:\/\/svapm.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16816\/revisions\/27310"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/svapm.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/20843"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/svapm.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=16816"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/svapm.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=16816"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/svapm.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=16816"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
Donald Stringari responded to my call and we started to build the vision: a community of Agile-minded Technical & Professional Project and Program Managers who would build a collaborative community to serve our members and share collective knowledge. It took a couple of months to strategically build the pillars. And, we gradually built our village<\/em> by inviting villagers to build it together empirically<\/em>, one brick at a time<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"ASVPM](\"https:\/\/svapm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/TwitterContent.png\")
So we started using a blend of Agile frameworks, initially a hybrid of Scrum, Kanban, and Lean. Our first volunteers joined us in early 2019 and we started a sprint, loosely using the Scrum framework. Our goal was, and still is, to let volunteers set the direction. Donald and I took the roles of \u201ccoaches\u201d so that our members could set their goals per the vision of our village.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
