Agile PM Mastery in 60 Minutes, Guaranteed! (1 PDU)
Have you been questioned recently about Agile or Scrum project management? Are you looking for a way to handle projects with dynamic, changing scopes but fixed dates and costs? Has the launch of PMI’s new Agile Community-of-Practice (COP) piqued your interest? In this presentation you will learn how Agile has become entrenched at companies like Qualcomm and the European giant Tele Atlas!
Agile Project Management is a skill set that is rapidly growing in demand among employers. The most respected and best recognized Agile certification is the “ScrumMaster” from the Scrum Alliance, Inc. PMI has responded by launching its first new COP in many years, even coining the new term “Agilists” to describe practitioners of this discipline. That means Agile PM is the skill set you need to acquire in 2010!
This presentation has been setting PMI Chapter meetings around the country “on fire” because of the incredible depth of information provided and the speaker’s obvious expertise in fielding challenging questions.
This powerful presentation gives you a solid understanding of:
· The difference between Agile and traditional project management
· Key variables for deciding if, and when, Agile is right for your team
· How to optimize individual and team roles
· The keys to successful Agile execution
The details are designed to be applied in your environment! This crisp presentation gets to the point – how to apply Agile in your environment – in a concrete learning environment designed for your growth!
