When it comes to software projects, there is a significant trend in enterprise IT departments to embrace shorter, more incremental cycles of work.

Schools of thought from the Agile, Lean and DevOps camps all promote these fast, small cycles – in some cases “projectizing” work at the task level which immediately gets merged with a larger system.

Although finite, time-boxed work is a familiar project management concept, there are tensions between the coveted speed to delivery of DevOps and Continuous Delivery style IT environments and the need for project management practices which enable sophisticated system engineering.

In this presentation Chris Knotts, PMP – (LinkedIn profile)  examines some of those tensions and discusses many of the fundamental dynamics contemporary project professionals should be aware of when navigating any environment that is impacted by trends in IT towards DevOps and Continuous Delivery.

How to Source & Manage Outside Talent

Steps to Leveraging Talent You Don’t Own

Many companies are employing a broad mix of freelancers, contractors, consultants, and full-timers at all levels of the organization. This tactical approach supports strategies requiring speed and agility to meet the challenges of today’s business environment.

As managers seek nontraditional sources of strategic talent and experiment with fast, flexible ways of engaging these experts, they need a new roadmap.

This shift to deploying “agile talent” is different than hiring freelancers or seasonal workers. These are people doing strategic work, but are just not full-time or permanent.

In this webcast we will explore the why, what and how of planning and using an agile talent pool and offer a number of specific ways to ensure success.

Companies are gaining advantage through the strategic use of external experts—made possible by technology and the globalization of talent. Join us as we explore:

• How agile talent is being deployed in a number of leading organizations
• Five critical success factors when utilizing agile talent
• How organizations need to be structured to take full advantage of agile talent

We encourage you to register even if you are unable to attend live; you’ll receive replay information following the event.
