The Agile and Governance Forums are joining forces this month! Everyone is welcome to participate.  

Presentation

The way we work now is not the same way we worked prior to the pandemic. With more organizations pivoting their strategy, the conversation of governance and agile are two of the biggest points to integrate into how we work present day. We are excited to be hosting an interactive panel discussion with subject matter experts on combining both topics into how we work.

During this discussion, our panelist will share:

• Best Practices in Agile
• Managing multiple iterations
• Proper ways to conduct sprint
• Effective agile and governance technique
• Insight from SME on their role and how they mix agile and governance
