Event Type: Government Community

Event Topic: Agile Bootcamp

Synopsis: 
Whether in government or private industry, project managers face a huge challenge when confronted with continually-changing requirements. How can you plan when the things keep changing? Traditional project management approaches suggest that we take a snapshot of the requirements as a baseline, and then use change control in an attempt to minimize the impact of any shifting requirements. Sometimes, however, these changes are a reality that the project sponsor has to accommodate. The new Agile Project Management methods help deal with these situations.

Participants in this one-day workshop will learn the techniques of Agile Project Management through simulations and examples from real-world projects that used these methods to control changing requirements.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES
To provide experienced project managers with advanced understanding of the principles and techniques of agile project management, so that they will be able to identify situations where agile techniques may add value and begin to apply the techniques to reduce overall project risk on high-change projects.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND
This course introduces some advanced variations on basic project management practices. While anyone can attend, project managers with some experience managing IT projects or new product development projects will find the material more applicable to their day-to-day work.

Bio:

and created the Agile PM methodology in 2003. Today, he brings his deep expertise in both traditional and agile methodologies to bear - along with his extensive experience helping organizations evolve project governance structures - to help us understand the four different strategies for structuring any project or program so that we can maximize the delivery of business value while reducing both technical risk and the business risks caused by budget and schedule overruns. He has too many degrees, certifications, and awards to list - but suffice to say, he is a highly-respected project manager whom many of you already know personally or have read some of his many books.
