Summary
In large organizations, it’s simply not practical to just “flip a switch” and have your IT department start doing agile all at once. In these situations, agile pilot teams and non-agile teams/departments find themselves having to figure out how to work together during the transition.

Presenter:
Michele Sliger has worked in software development for over 20 years, and has been embracing change with agile methodologies for the last eight of those years. As a self-described “bridge builder,” her passion lies in helping those in traditional software development environments cross the bridge to agility.

Michele’s book The Software Project Manager’s Bridge to Agility is an excellent resource for project managers and their teams transitioning to agile methodologies. The authors explain how agile works: how it differs from traditional “plan-driven” methodologies, the benefits it promises, and the real-world results it delivers. They systematically map the Project Management Institute’s classic, methodology-independent techniques and terminology to agile practices and cover both process and project lifecycles and carefully address vital issues ranging from scope and time to cost management and stakeholder communication. They put a human face on the transition to agile–covering the emotional challenges, personal values, and key leadership traits needed to succeed.

If you’re like most project managers, you have problems managing people on projects.Your many difficulties include conflict management, resource management, and project leadership (or the lack thereof).

Are you left wondering how to overcome these issues? Then we have some ideas!

We’ve brought together a panel of leading project management experts to help.During this presentation we will explore 5 key issues that we all face as project managers.

• Group Think versus Project Leadership – How many people does it take to change a light bulb?
• Communicating all the risks versus communicating only the pertinent risks – How much does the client need to know?
• Delegating Tasks versus Controlling Tasks – To delegate or micro-manage? That is the question.
• Team Conflicts and Conflict Resolution – Dealing with diverse personalities and personal issues.
• Resource Allocation versus Resource Availability – How to avoid getting yourself into resource trouble and what you can do to get out.

Interact with our panel of PM gurus who will share real-life examples of problem solving techniques.

Be prepared to discuss these topics and ask them your toughest questions.

Attendees will walk away with some practical solutions they can begin applying immediately to their own projects.

This webinar is 1 hour long and attendees are eligible for 1 PDU.
