Gantt Charts are a fine mechanism for planning projects that have well bounded activities with a clean start and end point, and with understood dependencies and sequences.

But in the non-linear, sometimes chaotic world of Product Development, Gantt Charts can be inadequate, cumbersome, or even misleadingly inaccurate.

In the session, Kelly Weyrauch (LinkedIn profile) will explore an alternative using mechanism of Agile product development – a Backlog of value to deliver with estimations of size (effort) and a reality-based Burndown that shows a plan with visible assumptions.

Together these mechanism provide an effective way to plan, track, and replan a complex Product Development effort.

APM’s Real World Project Management Series

There is a current trend that says agile methods remove the need for project managers.

This webinar will show why that is not the case, but that project managers need to consider what can be taken from the methods in order to be more agile.

The presentation covers:

• Brief outline of agile methods
• What tools and techniques project and programme managers found most useful
• Common ways to adapt and blend agile methods if full scale adoption isn’t feasible
• What not to do!

Susan is a practitioner herself, so her presentation will be grounded in practical findings which attendees can instantly implement across their projects. Susan will also describe materials which will continue to support those who adapt agile in their day to day life.

Presenter: Susan Clarke (LinkedIn profile) is passionate about supporting the next generation of IT PMs and  has been a member of the APM NW committee for several years. She is the author of research papers on agile development and project management, including APM white papers on the practical adoption of agile and scaled agile methodologies.

We’re all born with the gift of creativity, but throughout our lives, we’re conditioned to eliminate agile thinking.

We’ve become creatures of habit, with upwards of 90 percent of our thoughts being the same day after day. Our brains aren’t naturally wired to create and embrace change.

The majority of us simply conform to habits, allowing our minds to become submissive to biases we don’t even realize we have.

Fortunately, we can retrain our brains to be more agile. Research says 80 percent of agility is learned and acquired, so we all have the ability to unlock our potential.

Learn about:

• Cognitive biases that hold us back from becoming more agile
• Strategies designed to increase the success of implementing new ideas
• Encouraging innovation and collaboration, and energizing others
• How one well-known company successfully designed and applied new, disruptive ideas
