Many of today’s accredited Project Management Professionals (PMPs) are finding themselves leading and managing Agile development teams, only to find that many of the tools and techniques applied when utilizing a traditional project management approach no longer work as effectively or at all.

In order to do more than survive in this iterative development environment, today’s PMP must employ additional project management tools and techniques to effectively lead their teams and deliver their projects.

Mobile devices, including smartphones and tablets, have evolved into being an essential resource for supporting enterprise workforces. Android, iOS, and BlackBerry devices dominate the mobile landscape and have significantly broadened the effectiveness of professional workers to remotely support business requirements, improving productivity, streamlining communications, and increasing opportunities for revenue generation.
