WiseTimAs we kick off 2018, the PMI Agile Forum will hold our ever popular backlog planning exercise, where you the (Agile Forum Audience) tell us what topics/speakers you would like to hear during the upcoming year. The PMI Agile Forum Volunteers are here to serve you (our PMI Agile Forum audience) and want to deliver content that is of relevance to your growth and professional development.

We will illustrate how you can plan projects using gaming techniques and have a real life demonstration in the planning of our 2018 Topic Backlog. With your recommendations, we will mix old and new techniques and generate a robust list of Agile topics that we hope to present this year.

This is usually one of our most well attended and interactive forums annually, so please be sure to join us and make your voices heard. Whether you are a long-time, regular Agile Forum attendee, or a newcomer to Agile, there will be something for you to take away and use in your projects/organizations.
