The agile methods don’t seem to support much in the way of preparation or planning—so teams simply dive-in and start iterating towards solutions to their business problems.

It’s a very common pattern.

In some contexts, this works just fine, for example, in smaller scale or simplistic projects.

• But what if your context is outside these areas?
• What if you need to determine a budget for your agile project?
• What if you have a distributed and larger scale project?
• What if you have no requirements and barely a clue as to what you need? What if you need an enterprise level architecture?

In these and many other real-world contexts, establishing a consistent and thoughtful baseline plan or view can be incredibly helpful. And it turns out…you can do that and STILL “be agile”.

In this session join agile practitioner Bob Galen (LinkedIn profile) as he shows you how to use Crystal’s Blitz Planning approach, User Story Mapping, and other more traditional end-to-end planning techniques to establish a “proper beginning” and define a “holistic map” for your agile projects.

This session is not only useful for agilists, but the session will help traditional project managers understand how they can bring crisp, lightweight planning to their non-agile projects as well.

Course Learning Objectives Include:

• When and how to effectively charter (begin/start) agile projects.
• Learn various models for end-to-end planning and how to apply them within your agile projects without losing your ‘agility’.
• How to tie goal-setting and delivery measurement to project execution, feedback, and driving success.

With the Course You Will Receive:

• Access to the Live and Recorded Version of Webinar
• Personlized Certificate of Attendance
• Copy of Presentation Slides
