The Benefits Of Agile?

This session discusses the benefits you get from Agile
Not the how of doing it

Agile is really about delivering business value incrementally, quickly and predictably. It should not be about development iterations.

Starting with the “how” of Agile instead of the “why” of Agile often leaves many business stakeholders unclear with the need for Agile.

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
