"Business Agility, How far does true agility go and how to make change positive"
Presented by Danny Presten, Lithe Consulting
The Agile Forum meetings offer an opportunity for professional networking and knowledge sharing with other agile practitioners as well as provide a learning environment for professionals interested in learning about agile techniques. Everyone is welcome to participate.
Presentation
You’ve taken the “Red Pill” and opened the door for agile in IT, but you’re not getting all the benefits you expected when you first started this journey. In this session we’ll explore how Agile is an entire “ecosystem” impacting the culture and practices in every area of the organization including finance, HR, operations and even sales. We’ll unpack this view with real world success and failure stories and equip you to have the conversations necessary to build a truly agile business.

Join us for the April Networking event at ROAM Galleria. Featuring an extended networking session with peers and PMI Atlanta leaders, this event also provides a presentation to improve your project management and professional skills.
Presentation Details
 Getting things done, especially the right things, is hard. No one ever taught us in school how to manage our time and our tasks, and many of us have had to learn the hard way. Luckily, there are methods and tools out there that can instantly enhance your personal productivity, and I'd like to share how I've applied the principles of the Getting Things Done (GTD) philosophy to my team using a tool called ToDoist.
You will leave with:
- A practical understanding of the Getting Things Done (GTD) philosophy and how to get started applying it
- An opportunity to apply the concepts real time to get more productive quickly
- An understanding of how I’ve applied the concepts using a software tool called ToDoist
