Scrum Master and Project Manager are two roles that, for the past 15 years, coexisted well, especially in IT projects.

From the very technical role that was part of the software development team, the Scrum Master evolved into a new organizational role, sometimes with a well defined job description and with responsibilities that transcended the technical background from which it originated.

Although the role was defined in the Scrum framework, the Scrum Master role is now present in other frameworks and there are many training courses and certifications available from other organizations with different views on the skills required and the responsibilities of the Scrum Master.

It is additional evidence that the role is evolving beyond what the Scrum Guide authors intended.

The Project Manager role also changed since the Agile Manifesto publication and the adoption of Agile delivery frameworks. Mainly due to a dynamic business environment, more geographically distributed workforce, and last but not least because of the digital revolution: cloud, social media and mobile technology’s impact on how projects are managed and delivered.

Skills developed as a Scrum Master, like team and people management, are a good foundation for career development.

Like in any other profession Scrum Masters will reach a point where they feel the need to go beyond a Scrum Team of 5-9. Project Management is one option for career change but is it the right one?

This presentation with  Stelian Roman (LinkedIn profile); is based on his experience as a Development Team Lead, Development Manager, Scrum Master and Project Manager working with Scrum teams.

It contains also advice for Project Managers and Scrum Masters that want to play a dual role.

Your website should be the cornerstone of your demand generation strategy, but too often it becomes the opposite.

In this webinar Erin Lloyd Gordon (LinkedIn profile) Gartner Director Analyst &  Eric Hunter, (LinkedIn profile, Gartner bio) Gartner Sr. Director Analyst will help you reshape your messaging strategy and engagement tactics, transforming your website from good to great.

Erin & Eric  will contrast commonly pervasive “maker-centric” messaging elements with “outcome-centric” messaging that resonates better with today’s buyers.

They will navigate two illustrative examples of buyer enablement content that you should prioritize on your site, so you can differentiate yourself in the market as buyers grapple with the wealth of information they encounter.

Finally, theywill walk through some of the most-common opportunities we encounter while assisting clients in transitioning their websites from liabilities to assets.

Discussion Topics:

• Transition from maker-centric messaging to more audience-focused narratives
• Craft content that is coherent, engaging, and resonates with your target audience
• Identify opportunities for improvement using illustrative examples in your current strategy

Although 49% of sellers say they are overwhelmed by the number of technologies required to do their job, 76% of heads of sales expect to increase sales tech spending.

The current approach to sales technology puts revenue at risk, which in turn overwhelms sellers, making them less likely to hit quotas.

To succeed, chief sales officers (CSOs) must evolve the way sales technology supports sellers by elevating technology to become a teammate rather than just being deployed as another tool.

This sales webinar will help CSOs rethink their revenue technology strategy and unlock steps to improve seller productivity.

This transformation presents CSOs with a breakaway moment to position their organization for significant increases in growth and competitive differentiation.

Discussion Topics:

• Understand why revenue technology needs to be a teammate
• Learn why it is critical to reshape the human-technology relationship in the sales organization
• Explore real-time examples of how to prioritize high-value use cases for sales technology

Panelists:

• Doug Bushée (LinkedIn profile) Gartner r. Director Analyst
• Daniel Hawkyard (LinkedIn profile) Gartner Principal, Advisory
• Steve Rietberg  (LinkedIn profile, Gartner bio) Gartner Sr Director Analyst
