Learning Objectives

• Awareness of the differences in the role of traditional project manager vs. Agile team roles;
• concrete understanding of Agile practices in real live vs. the textbook rhetoric; and
• actionable advice, coaching and insights from Agile project management experts and colleagues on how to make the most of an Agile approach.

Today's economy is one that demands more value from fixed budgets. Meanwhile, what used to be a series of isolated successes in the IT industry, the Agile movement is now extending up the enterprise and expanding across several industries. Because of these two trends, project managers are expected to know what Agile processes can do for their organizations. But what is Agile, really? And what is the role of a project manager when “self-directed teams” are headed by “servant leaders”?

This interactive workshop will provide an opportunity for you to collaborate with some of the leading experts in Agile project management practices. These experts will facilitate dynamic group discussions, accelerated by brief focused presentations. Come start your congress with a session that combines networking with problem solving on an increasingly popular approach to project management.
