It was first presented live by ASPE on Wednesday January 12 2011 at 10:00 a.m. MST

ASPE has an Agile Salary Survey – click here to participate.

This link is to assist in surveying agile salaries for 2010. This presentation was based on the 2009 salary survey.

The Jobless recovery has had a major impact on the skills you need for professional success. Companies are continually asking their employees to do more with less, and drive project efficiency and success. The money and need for projects is back, but hiring to support those projects is not. It looks like hiring trends are loosening up and positions will become available in late Q1 and Q2 2011, but it will take beyond Q3 of 2011 for those new hires to have a positive impact on work loads.

In this presentation we will review four key areas:

•Review current Macro-Economic trends and impact those trends have on SDLC professionals

• Compensation trends for SDLC professionals (compare and contrast data from our Agile, BA and PM salary surveys)

•Business Analyst, Project Management and Agile Professional Trends for 2011

• Technology trends and impact those trends will have on SDLC professionals

The information we will present is based on the data we’ve collected in our BA, PM and Agile salary surveys for 2009 and 2010, conversations we constantly have with customers, feedback from our instructors, and data collected from pervious we seminars.

This is not a technical presentation on these topics but a presentation based on what enterprise organizations are trying to accomplish, and the skills they need to accomplish those goals.

So you’ve been assigned a complex, poorly defined project concept…
now what?

Nothing is worse (or better) for a senior project manager or analyst than being handed a project that is: strategic, very large, and way outside your comfort zone in complexity. These projects will sometimes roll around the halls of big companies for months while they struggle to gain sufficient momentum and clarity to really move forward with a sense of purpose and direction. Let’s say one of these career-bruisers/-builders is yours? What do you do next?

This session is about the tactics of early-stage project intake and clarification – getting clarity efficiently.

Learning Objectives:

1. Inside the project intake process – why is intake so dysfunctional?
2. The action plan – simple steps that drive project clarity and milestones that deliver benefit.
3. Targeted result – time tested deliverables that work.
