"All this he saw, for one moment breathless and intense, vivid on the morning sky; and still, as he looked, he lived; and still, as he lived, he wondered."

BIM Agile Management

A cycle of lessons on Agile Management for BIM managers and coordinators, organized for the CLEX Initiative with the Forma Mentis Traning Centre during the pandemic. Among the first truly structured online course I designed and conducted, the training program was a great success and was received with heartwarming warmth by the community, spanning several editions between early 2020 and late 2022, when the program was reincorporated into the main activities of the training centre.

The program included:

  • Project Management Basics: Waterfall vs. Agile;
  • Principles of Agile, Scrum and DevOps;
  • Organisational Information Requirements and company standards;
  • Product Ownership: the BIM manager as Product Owner;
  • Stakeholder management and profiling;
  • Principles of automation: coding and scripting in a workflow;
  • The BIM Execution Plan as Product Backlog: the role of the BIM manager in the flow of a BIM project;
  • Metrics for business performance measurement, statistics, data analysis;
  • Implementation principles: the BIM manager as a change agent
  • Vision alignment for management and the role of the project board: the BIM manager as a facilitator.
