Live Webinar – CANCELLED – New Date To Be Announced August 9th, 2012 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm EDT Presented by: Eclipse Project Portfolio Management

Organization structures in most companies today make resource management a daunting task. A lack of visibility into resource allocation and capacity, consistent prioritization and validation of actual work versus planned, contribute to this challenge.
Over 50% of IT organizations surveyed use their “best guess†when determining what capacity IT has to perform projects in a given period.
This webinar presents the fundamentals for creating and implementing a Resource Management Model using people, process and technology. A Resource Management Model is a set of processes that provide visibility, decision support and structure to effectively manage people in an organization.
Allocating resources based on availability and fit, supported by standard processes, will improve the success and predictability of projects across your organization.
Who should attend this webinar?
COO’s, CIOs, Department VPs and Managers, PMs, Resource Managers

In an effort to improve their planning efficiency, Agile teams utilize leaner, lighter written requirements to document the needs for their product.
This approach allows teams to focus on creating effective, working software sooner, but also presents a challenge for these teams when they are required to effectively size their project work and predict when they will complete their development.
In order to address this dilemma, Agile teams must employ an enhanced estimation technique that allows them to evaluate the level of effort required to deliver their product.
This one hour web seminar will discuss the method today’s Agile teams use to solve the common problem of creating estimates when the complete set of requirements are not known.
