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.

In this webinar, Bob Galen will explore how to consistently get your Agile projects off to a proper beginning.

Quite often teams simply dive into Agile projects—allowing the iterative and emergent nature of agility to guide the project. In some contexts, those in the agile sweet spot, this works incredibly well. However in those that extend beyond Agile’s comfort zone it can fail miserably.

We’ll examine when architectural definition and requirements need more early development; how to create a charter to guide your projects goals; the keys to forming a solid agile team; and how to create a plan that allows your stakeholders to understand where you’re going—then update them with information that makes sense to them.

How you begin often dictates how you end, so let’s do it well.
