Topic: How Does the PMBOK® Guide Sixth Edition Tsunami Impact You?!

Overview:
The PMBOK® Guide Sixth Edition is unleashing a silent tsunami by shifting the tectonic plates of the Project Management profession. The release of the new PMBOK® Guide with Agile in every Knowledge Area … is the biggest change in 20 years! It confirms that Agile is now mainstream, that it is the hottest skillset in project management, and that your PMP may get you the interview, but – and it is a very big but – Agile expertise gets you the job! 

The PMI-ACP® is the fastest growing certification in PMI history with more than 14,000 certification holders. This is not a fad! It is the new reality!! 

The good news for most PMP®’s is they are more qualified than they realize.  You may not be using Scrum vocabulary, but you are using core Agile practices like Rolling Wave Planning, Progressive Elaboration, and Decomposition. 

The first edition of the PMBOK® Guide was published in 1996 and as grown from 176 pages to 589 pages. It has been 20 years since, and our profession has evolved in very significant ways! Project Managers have moved from the engineering department to the drivers of strategic organizational change. In response to those facts the PMBOK® Guide Six Edition will be changed more dramatically than ever before! Your career – your future! – requires every PMP® to understand and integrate these upcoming changes successfully. 

Over the last five years John Stenbeck has become one of the most influential voices in this critical area by distilling high-value insights into the Amazon #1 Best Seller, the Agile Almanac, his most recent book. In fact, he has become known as the Godfather of Agile in a Traditional World. During this presentation he will show you how to apply Agile in ways that unlock your leadership potential!
