RefineM’s webinar series on agile practices that can be utilized by waterfall teams continues with a discussion of smaller iterations.

The nature of an agile project can change drastically depending on the length of iterations, since the iteration cadence drives activities such as review of working functionality and retrospectives.

What iteration lengths work best, and how can waterfall teams learn from this guidance to develop their own similar cadence for key activities?

Learn about this and more in this month’s webinar.

Is your team struggling with changing requirements and prioritization?

Whether your team is following agile or not, one way to address this struggle is by maintaining a backlog.

In this month’s webinar, NK will look at the practice of maintaining a backlog as it relates to agile. He will then discuss ways that a traditional, or waterfall, team can implement the practice and derive benefit from it even without fully embracing agile.

Who Should Attend: This course is ideal for project/program managers, PMO leaders, and project team members who have been managing/leading projects and are looking for agile techniques to strengthen their project management and improve their teams’ outcomes.
