In this webinar, Byron Love will explore the relationship between your personal credibility and your leadership, and between your leadership and the success of your project.

A leader without personal credibility will be frustrated and ineffective. In this presentation, “Personal Credibility and Leadership,” we discuss the relationship between your personal credibility and your leadership, and between your leadership and the success of your project. Mindful leaders are self-aware, and can therefore control their speech and behavior to ensure their actions will have the intended short-term and long-term effect. They remain composed, enabling them to anticipate the reactions of others, and counter their emotional reactions calmly and thoughtfully. Leaders who can behave like this, who take a mindful and versatile approach to work, develop and maintain personnel credibility because others—team members, senior leaders, and stakeholders—trust them to be a positive influence on any situation.

Byron Love, (LinkedIn profile) MBA, PgMP, PMP, CISSP, Project+, ITIL-F, is the program manager for Intrepid Solutions’ Enhanced Solutions for the IT Enterprise (E-SITE) contract vehicle. He has led projects and programs at over a dozen government organizations. Byron holds an MBA from Averett University, a BA in Computer Science from Thomas Edison State College, and two associate degrees as well. He is the author of the bestseller  IT Project Management: A Geek’s Guide to Leadership.

Product management is often a murky role:

• Poorly understood and inconsistently practiced across tech companies – and often confused with program and project management.

Yet done well, product management is a driver of market success and effective development.

Agile teams building commercial software have additional role confusion between product owners and sometimes-agile product managers.

Im this session Rich Mironov (LinkedIn profile) outlines product management basics, contrasts them with project/program management, and matches this to scrum-defined product ownership.

Attendees will get a better sense of what product managers do, and how we can work together more effectively.

Agile has grown from a buzz-word in the industry, to the dominant approach being used in software projects.

With this evolution in software development, comes the need for standardization and certification.

The Agile certification market has grown extensively over the last several years with new organizations entering the mix, and established organizations adding to their Agile certification portfolio.

This growth has led to a great deal of confusion, inundating consumers with choices, and leaving the individual with an important question for their career – Which Agile certification is right for me?

In this one-hour presentation Tom McGraw (LinkedIn profile) will discuss the components of a traditional, credible certification program.

Tom will then review the most popular Agile certifying bodies in the marketplace and give details on steps to achieve selected Agile certifications, helping you determine which, if any, is appropriate for you.
