Summary
In large organizations, it’s simply not practical to just “flip a switch” and have your IT department start doing agile all at once. In these situations, agile pilot teams and non-agile teams/departments find themselves having to figure out how to work together during the transition.

Presenter:
Michele Sliger has worked in software development for over 20 years, and has been embracing change with agile methodologies for the last eight of those years. As a self-described “bridge builder,” her passion lies in helping those in traditional software development environments cross the bridge to agility.

Michele’s book The Software Project Manager’s Bridge to Agility is an excellent resource for project managers and their teams transitioning to agile methodologies. The authors explain how agile works: how it differs from traditional “plan-driven” methodologies, the benefits it promises, and the real-world results it delivers. They systematically map the Project Management Institute’s classic, methodology-independent techniques and terminology to agile practices and cover both process and project lifecycles and carefully address vital issues ranging from scope and time to cost management and stakeholder communication. They put a human face on the transition to agile–covering the emotional challenges, personal values, and key leadership traits needed to succeed.
