Description:
The top PM career opportunities today exist for professionals who can take a micro-dynamic, team management framework – like Scrum or XP or Lean Software Development – and scale it up to an organizational, macro-dynamic framework. Among the challenges with doing so is the fact that every Agile framework is missing two critical tools – cost management and sophisticated scheduling.
This is an advanced-level seminar for Project Managers with a solid Scrum or Agile foundation seeking a demanding, interactive exchange on leading the enterprise-level agile environment. This class is completely focused on successfully scaling and applying agile project management in the real world.
This class is not for novices (sorry!). It is also not preparation to sit for the PMI-ACP exam. It is preparation to become the leading Agile expert in your organization! It is also ideal for Agile Consultants who must fulfill customer demands for remarkable agile expertise and knowledge transfer.
Course objectives:
This seminar moves beyond micro-dynamic team-level practices and into the Agile practices that drive and guide enterprise maturity at the multi-project, program, portfolio and enterprise levels. In particular it will cover how to:
• Define the role of a PM in an Agile-Enterprise
• Manage Agile projects in a Traditional/Waterfall environment
• Apply core Lean principles to deliver Agile-Enterprise results
• Integrate and align Agile to various project types
• Using Agile-aligned portfolio and program-level tools
• Optimize estimating, risk management, and reporting using Agile processes
Who should attend:
This program is designed for any technical or project management professional seeking proven ways to scale Agile to the enterprise…successfully!
