Virtual Event - Agile Insights: Rethinking Perfect Plans
Agile Insights: Rethinking Perfect Plans
A brief discussion about Agile project management and mindset. This overview is designed to give predictive (waterfall) project managers a better understanding of Agile. We will look at a side-by-side comparison of planning in a plan driven project versus an agile project. We will also attempt to answer those age-old questions (at least asked since 1990's), why are we always sprinting and why do they call it Scrum?
Objectives:
- Have attendees leave with a better understanding of agile project management and its legitimate place in the project world.
- Gain a realization that we can’t always build a perfect plan, so what then?
- Takeaway some agile concepts for use in our predictive (waterfall) projects.
