1. Has your organization resisted transforming to Agile? Or …
2. Are you part of a team that wants to make the move but doesn’t know how to start?

The most stressful part of transitioning to Agile in a Waterfall environment happens at the beginning-in the uncertainty of how to get started.

In this webinar NK Shrivastava reveals practical concrete steps you can take to begin incorporating time-tested Agile practices that will help your team move the needle.

The key? You don’t have to transition to Agile all at once-or even all together.

There are several key Agile practices that waterfall teams can use to improve agility without going through the full Agile transformation and staying within the waterfall umbrella-or even adopting a hybrid Agile/Waterfall approach.

This session is targeted toward managers and project team members who want to begin incorporating Agile practices.

Learn how to adapt basic Agile practices in a waterfall environment. You will leave with the knowledge and skills to begin taking their first steps toward Agile transformation.

Presenter: NK Shrivastava (LinkedIn profile) PMP, PMI-RMP, PMI-ACP, CSM, SPC, is CEO of RefineM LLC and an experienced and certified Project Management Consultant, Risk Management Professional, and Agile Coach with over 25 years of experience in project management. NK is an experienced instructor/trainer on project management and Agile topics and specializes in project management fundamentals, risk management, and project recovery.

This method results in misallocated time and key issues being neglected.

Robotic Processing Automation (RPA) promises to be a major disruptor to both organizations and their employees over the next few years. Basically, RPA is a software application that automates manual business processes.

It is ideal for activities involving repetitive, high-volume manual tasks. In many ways, RPA is the office-based equivalent of production-line robots.

RPA will have far-reaching impacts on how people do their work, while also affecting current business processes, existing job roles, and organizational alignment.

The objective of the webinar is to introduce the concept of RPA, while also discussing its impact on organizations and their employees from a change management perspective.

In this webinar with John ORourke (LinkedIn profile) will cover various topics such as: what RPA is, how RPA differs from Artificial Intelligence, and how RPA is portrayed in the media.

We will also touch on why organizations implement RPA, and why RPA implementations fail.

Finally, and most importantly, we will discuss what Change Managers must do in order to prepare organizations and their employees for this technology.

In summary, managing a RPA change engagement will require, at a minimum, an understanding of people-related issues, risk elements (process and project), metrics, stakeholder expectations, and return on investment.
