6:00 pm	Governance (Virtual) Forum - 250924 Webinar "Agile IT Governance: The Hidden Catalyst for Business Agility" presented by Tana Glassford-Samuel, MBA, PMP, PMI Atlanta AVP of Forums & Agile Forum Program Manager In today’s fast-changing world, project governance can be a challenge as our approaches do not match our context. This talk explores how complexity science can help leaders embrace adaptability, enabling governance structures that foster resilience, responsiveness, and success in unpredictable environments. Presentation Details Agile isn’t just for delivery—it’s how the whole business learns to move. At the center is governance: the often-misunderstood enabler that can either slow transformation or unlock it. In this session, retired IT executive and PMI Atlanta leader Tana Glassford-Samuel connects PMI’s governance foundations to 20+ years of enterprise practice—spanning portfolio governance, SDLC oversight, and DevOps transformation—showing how modern governance shifts from control to flow, from checklists to value, and from rigid plans to resilience. You’ll see a concise history (ITIL, COBIT, CMMI, ISO/IEC 38500), a real-world case (Kaiser Permanente’s DevOps journey and CoE), and a pragmatic view of Agile IT Governance today. Tana closes with a forward look at AI-infused governance, value-driven metrics, resilient operating models, and human-centered leadership—then distills it to four actions you can start tomorrow: govern AI, measure value, build resilience, lead with ethics. Takeaways You’ll learn: the governance-to-agility link, how to redesign oversight for speed and trust, and how to communicate governance as an enabler—grounded in standards and proven practice. Why governance is the missing link in achieving enterprise agility Practical ways to redesign governance processes for speed and value delivery How to communicate governance as an enabler, not an obstacle
