Agile (Virtual) Forum - 210216

Webinar

"Project Management in Agile"
presented by Leon Sabarsky, Healthy Agile / CEO

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

The question comes up every time. In every Agile transformation that I’ve been involved with, it is always asked. What do we do with the project managers? We’re going Agile. Do we need them?

If you do any research on the topic, you’ll probably find that there is not much content on the topic. Almost as if it is a topic to be avoided. Given that, you could easily assume that there is no room for project management in Agile transformations. I propose that project management does have a role in Agile transformations.

In this interesting and informative session, you will learn practical ways in which project management can benefit Agile transformations and how project managers can add value to organizations transitioning to Agile.

OBJECTIVES
Understand how project management can benefit Agile transformations
Understand how project managers can add value to organizations transitioning to Agile
Understand how to integrate project managers into Agile teams
Understand how to create job progressions for both project manager roles and Agile roles
Understand how project management can provide value at the program and portfolio levels

 

Healthcare (Virtual) Forum - 210217

Webinar

"Maintaining Sanity and Skyrocketing Productivity While Working From Home"
presented by Jeffrey Levine, PhD, Chief Strategist, Dr Work From Home

The PMI Atlanta Healthcare Forum has 9 planned sessions throughout 2021. Proposed topics include IT & IT PMO in Healthcare, Healthcare SME/Domain Forums such as Clinical, Laboratory, Research, Tomorrow's Healthcare & Government practices/law, Thought Leadership in Healthcare, and Innovation in Healthcare Technology.

Presentation

Maintaining sanity and skyrocketing productivity in an organization that suddenly had to pivot to a remote work paradigm is not always a simple task. When you have a workforce that is distracted, virtual conference fatigued, and facing wellness issues, reliance on processes alone is not as effective.

In this presentation, Dr. Levine will share insights on how you can realize the benefits of working from home while minimizing the risks.

Dr. Levine will discuss:

• Empowering the remote workforce

• Aligning the workforce with organizational behavior and purpose 

• Training and supporting in areas such as Communication, Collaboration, Culture and Community building

With a holistic approach to organizational productivity, Dr. Levine will provide valuable insights on how to grow a collaborative and healthy company culture.
