Many agile projects take a simplistic approach to “managing” user stories.

In fact, everything we learned in the requirement management discipline has somehow disappeared when user stories are used to describe desired functionality.

If we hope for the agile approach to scale up to help build complex systems and systems of system, then we need to go beyond the simplistic approach.

Very much like requirements in a non-agile project, user stories do not live in a vacuum. If you consider a more disciplined and more flexible agile project, then user stories change over time, they relate to other user stories, they related to test cases, scenarios, acceptance criteria and other project entities.

User stores are reviewed, finalized and approved. Tasks to implement user stories are assigned to team members and both estimated time and actual time to perform these tasks are tracked. Most importantly, progress in performing these tasks is tracked.

In this presentation,  Magdy will show how we can preserve much of the discipline we followed in the field of requirement management before agile and user stories ever existed.

The presentation will conclude with a short demo of the award winning Rommana ALM to show how we expect a tool to support a more disciplined approach to managing user stories.

Let’s face it….project success (or failure) can be dramatically impacted by the project manager’s ability to team effectively with key senior level stakeholders.

Most project managers know that a truly dysfunctional or difficult senior leader can become the death nail for virtually any project.

Managing up can be a secret weapon enabling the PM to not just work effectively with the average project sponsor or client but also learn to maneuver those difficult senior level stakeholders too.

While managing up can be a powerful tool for virtually any project management professional, it’s important to learn to manage up the right way.

In this presentation Dana Brownlee clarifies why managing up is so important, what it is/isn’t, and common mistakes to avoid.  A truly dysfunctional or difficult senior leader can become the death nail for virtually any project. Learn the critical rules for managing up that most of us wish we learned sooner.
