Product development teams are embracing collaboration as a way to align everyone around the requirements, improve overall efficiency and drive quality. Unfortunately some people on your team might be reluctant to fully embrace collaboration on the grounds that it is “too noisy,” “complicated,” or “exposes too much.”

• So how do you leverage collaboration and pull in the right people to utilize their knowledge at the right moment while satisfying concerns about excess chaos?
• How do you share the right info at the right time to keep everyone in sync and in agreement?

To understand this balance we’ll need to take a look at what collaboration really means.

Summary of what you’ll learn:

• The difference between collaboration and social
• The impact on your product from sharing information early vs late in the process
• How collaboration improves productivity
• What is “Context” and how is it relevant
• Why Agile is less about stories and more about collaboration

Join this webinar and learn how to improve your requirements and save time by collaborating more efficiently while staying in control of your project.

In simple terms, the Agile product backlog is similar to the project scope of a traditionally managed product; it is the list of everything the team will build and deliver for the development of a product.

But understanding how these differ is important in a team’s approach to incremental delivery.

This web seminar will explore how requirements are captured, prioritized, and ultimately decomposed as a team works through building their product one small piece at a time.

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
