Agile at its foundation is a way of conducting work governed by a set of principles. Agile has been “productized” (different Agile Flavors) for specific work needs and special practices have been established to get the work done. With that said, most organizations feel they just need to teach their team the practices and get to work. The reality is that is a major mistake.

As a way of working, Agile is a monumental transformation. It requires the worker to engage in their work with a completely different mindset. It requires organizations to monitor and measure itself differently. Finally it requires managers to practice a completely new set of skills when it comes to “managing” their teams (the reality is you don’t manage your team any longer in Agile).

This seminar discusses the transformational challenge Agile presents to an organization. It will go over organizational change strategies necessary to make the jump, as well as cover different start up models instead of complete enterprise adoption. The goal of this presentation is to properly prepare an organization for the “human” challenges associated with the decision to move to Agile methods.

Many of today’s project managers are finding themselves leading and managing Agile development teams, only to find that many of the tools and techniques applied when utilizing a traditional project management approach no longer work as effectively or at all.

In order to do more than survive in this iterative development environment, today’s PM must employ additional project management tools and techniques to effectively lead their teams and deliver their projects.

Learning how to transition from a traditional project manager to an effective Agile Project Manager is going to be an essential step for today’s software development leaders to remain relevant.

This hour long web seminar will explore how today’s PM can easily and successfully make the transition to an effective Agile PM.

In a recent SharePoint class, a student presented the following scenario:

• They needed a way to view reports from the current month.
• They also needed to sort the reports by status, and
• If possible use color-coded indicators so they could see where the reports stood at any point. the solution needed to be automated.

Lets break down how we might solve this issue in SharePoint:

1. We need to filter company reports by the current month.
2. We need to sort company reports by reports status.
3. We need to create a Key Performance Indicator to view reports by status and percentage.

But There Is One small issue

According to Microsoft, Status Lists and Status Indicators have been depreciated in SharePoint 2013!

This webinar will demonstrate how we created an automated solution to address this real-world issue.

This includes calculating fields to assign a month to reports as they are added to the reports library – meaning:

1. The user uploading the report didn’t need to worry about selecting a value for the month field; SharePoint automatically supplied this value for them.
2. We will create a view that allows us to display only reports for the current month, and to group our reports by status.
3. Finally, we will also learn that not only are status lists and indicators still present, but how to create and use them in SharePoint 2013.
