Agile project management is a game changer, especially for IT project managers.

That is because, typically, when agile is embraced by an organization, the role of project manager is de-emphasized in favor of self-organizing teams, and large strategic projects are decomposed in favor of shorter more frequent releases.

The business Project Management Office typically handles the strategic efforts, and the IT organization pivots to improving infrastructure and processes for managing code releases into environments.

So, what do these shifts mean for the IT project manager and their career path?

Using research and practical experience, this webinar introduces the agile concepts that most affect IT project managers and their options moving forward.

Main learning points include: 

• Agile concepts in relation to project management processes
• The shift from IT project manager to scrum master or product owner or subject matter expert.
• Relationship between scrum master and product owner
• New skills to succeed in the agile universe with an emphasis on:
  • Facilitator: Coaching and team development
  • Change manager: Emphasis on flexibility
  • Innovation cheerleader
  • Business story writer and backlog management

Project Managers will continue to play a vital role in the new Agile world. At the Enterprise Level there will always be a need for Governance and the larger the organisation, the more focus there will be in managing risks.

Project Managers are also the link between the business initiatives, implemented as projects, and the development team, in most cases using the widely adopted Scrum Framework to deliver technology components that will support the implementation of the business initiatives.

The Practice Standard for Project Risk Management is a useful framework for Project managers to implement good practices at the project level that can minimize the negative impacts of threats to its projects and maximize the upside impact of opportunities.

By becoming Agile the risk profile changes and it is obvious that the Scrum Team must be involved in the Risk Management activities.

In this webinar Stelian Roman (LinkedIn profile) analyzes the role of the Project Manager in bridging the gap between the (Scrum) team approach to Risk Management and the structured approach at the enterprise level.
