This session is for project managers that sometimes need to contract externally for requirements discovery services in order to make their project a success.

This session shares hard facts, case studies, and a wealth of experience in successful – and not so successful – contracting approaches for the senior project manager. Supercharging a project by accelerating the requirements discovery phase is a solid strategy – but how do you ensure the company will get solid business value from the activity?

3 Learning Objectives from this Session:

• Effective analyst engagements models that drive value
• Red flags in your review cycle: clear signals that you have, or will have, issues with your requirements discovery team.
• Setting targets for timetable and turnaround: what should you expect from a top notch analyst team?

You will have to register for either the live or recorded session

Project managers are rewarded on their ability to manage staff, budgets and dependencies, and drive projects to successful completion. But such behavior can be deeply at odds with the collaborative nature of Scrum.

Angela Druckman will examine the roles PMs commonly play in Scrum projects, unique characteristics these individuals have that can benefit the Scrum team and how project managers can continue to add value as the organization adopts agile practices.

Is there a place for project managers within Scrum? In this webinar Angela, will look at ways project managers can be successful, contributing members of the organization’s move to Scrum.

Presenter: Angela Druckman (LinkedIn profile) has served as a Product Owner, ScrumMaster and team member, and seen first-hand how agile practices and Scrum in particular can lead organizations to project success.

Your Reputation Is Your Brand!

Have you heard that 69% of Americans would nix a job offer—even if they were out of work—with a company with a negative reputation?

These days, with so much competition for superstar talent, a great employer brand counts big time.  But upgrading yours doesn’t need to break your HR or recruiting budget.

In fact, leaning on employees to share your company story, treating job candidates like valued customers and adding the “employer perspective” to company reviews on social channels and Glassdoor pretty much costs zilch—just time, effort and a little C-Level blessing.
