I just can’t stand them anymore. Those consultants and smart advisors who go from company to company telling everyone—whether they want to hear it or not—how brilliantly Chinese firms are making Western companies look ol
It’s always about personal advantage! What’s your reaction to this statement? “Of course it’s about me! That’s always been my motto.” Or “Absolutely not, that’s antisocial! The common good must stand above the individual
I think very few people believed we could actually pull it off! It’s been 25 years now. We were a small team with a big mission: “Build a company, develop a portfolio of heavy commercial vehicle axles, and supply the Ame
A Counterintuitive Approach to Better Project Outcomes In my last article, I made a provocative claim. Project team members shouldn’t report directly to the project manager. Instead, they should have a different supervis
Sometimes it proves useful to explicitly clarify matters that intuitively seem self-evident. Upon closer examination of common project management terms, I find that not everything is as clear as assumed. This is precisel
Back When a Truck Was Just a Truck In the first half of the last century, trucks were beautifully simple. We divided them into three categories: * Light trucks * Medium-duty trucks * Heavy-duty trucks They were universal
For the most impatient among you, here’s the answer right away: In the commercial vehicle industry, I consider it fast to bring a new vehicle to market in 4 years. With the classic approach used in the past, new vehicle
Picture this: You're the leader of an organization that desperately needs to transform. You've identified the problems, you have a vision for the future, and you're ready to make it happen. But here's the brutal truth—mo
Agile project management is based on Scrum. That's how it all started, so let's introduce Sprint meetings and Scrum boards first. Once that works, we can scale up and think about the higher complexity in projects. Makes
As a product development leader, I regularly attend project review meetings where we discuss the status of important product development projects. In these meetings, project teams typically present two very different typ
There are moments in work life that you never forget. I experienced one of these moments when we introduced our first Drum Beat in a pilot project. The project team sat together in a meeting, planning the Drum Beat deliv
For many years, I had a metric on my shopfloor board that was probably very unusual. At least I don't know any other manager who worked with this KPI. It was the "task completion speed" – the duration until completion of
There's something strange about vehicle development projects: they span years—yet time is always too short. Whether it was a complete redesign of the entire product portfolio or just a minor facelift, the pattern was alw
I can still remember it like it was yesterday. In 2010, we launched the Mercedes Benz Atego Hybrid. The vehicle was a full-fledged Mercedes with mass production quality. It offered 20% fuel savings in distribution traffi
A -- B -- C -- D -- this is how the German Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA) designates the sample phases in product development. The VDA defines these phases in its recommendation for maturity level assurance
Plans are only perfect until they meet reality. No plan survives contact with the real world. Experienced project teams understand this reality and prepare for deviations in advance, enabling quick course corrections thr
In this article, I would like to introduce the last important role in the project management team and explain why it makes sense to invest the necessary capacity in this role. The Project Organization Whenever a new larg
The project manager is responsible for achieving project goals—that much is undisputed. But does this responsibility also extend to ensuring that: * A high-quality product is developed? * All technical teams collaborate
* Is your organization still small enough that everyone knows each other? * Is your product still so simple that every team member understands it inside and out? Then, teamwork is easy to organize. You come together, dis
