As companies work to migrate their software development approach from Waterfall to Agile, they often begin to discover that the limited set of tools offered by the Agile (or Scrum) framework alone do not satisfy organizational needs.

Larger projects, more teams, and limited resources are often the hallmark and impetus to implement a Lean development approach where value streams and waste elimination drive the creation of better products, more profitable efforts, and fully utilized resource teams.

In this web seminar ASPE will discuss the process, function, and benefits of utilizing Kanban and Lean to streamline your efforts.

There are many ways for teams to achieve the Objectives and Goals of an organization.

Part of the Strategic Planning effort is determining the appropriate actions to be taken to enable the objectives to be met.. These actions should be based on conditions associated with the current environment as well as changes associated with the future environment.

Unfortunately, many teams feel the list of prioritized projects is a result of random selection and are left wondering how their projects fit into the overall corporate direction, if at all.

Planning and change management staff as well as department and team leads require appropriate tools and techniques to define Action Plans for implementing future change. They can use these tools to define plans for tactical and strategic projects which will enable the organization to successfully perform its mission and achieve its vision.

In this webinar, participants will be able to:

• Understand the relationship between initiatives and projects
• Develop an Action Plan establishing direction and accountability for achieving documented Goals
• Update the Strategic Plan to reflect shifts in the organizational environment
• Understand the use of a Communication Plan in keeping a Strategic Plan alive
