Most organizations today are delivering both agile and traditional projects within their project portfolio. In many of these cases, the “portfolio” isn’t a single portfolio at all; software/product development is managing their projects with agile tools, and the PMO continues to use Microsoft Project to manage theirs.

A separate project management tool for each line of business; sounds like a good idea right?

While disparate systems may be focused, relevant and work specific, they can also make decision-making and strategic alignment almost impossible.

The good news is, these problems can be overcome if you are using Microsoft Project Online.

in this session Jim Patterson will provide a brief agile overview, a comparison of agile and traditional project management, and include a demo of Project Connect.

Jim will demonstrate how Project Online supports enterprise-level analysis and reporting for data residing in both Microsoft Project schedules and agile tools, such as Visual Studio Team Services (VSTS), Team Foundation Services (TFS) and JIRA.

Presenter:  Jim Patterson (LinkedIn profile) is Regional Director for Tivitie with 25+ years of experience in the design, implementation and training of project and portfolio management systems and processes.  Jim’s past efforts have been focused on Microsoft technology, with a strong emphasis in MS Project.  Jim’s background encompasses a wide variety of vertical industries, methodologies and approaches.  Jim works providing insights 7 solving challenges of distributed teams, fragmented/disconnected tools and multiple methodologies.
