Agile Project Management requires some additional skills to be possessed by an Agile Project Manager. It does not only involve managerial skills but also requires more team-oriented and leadership skills.

Agile Development is a value-driven model with focus on outcomes unlike traditional approaches which are plan-driven in nature and based on output. At the same time, the centripetal force for success of the agile-based project is the agile team which executes it.

It also requires additional skills in terms of adaptability, self-organization and motivation to continuously improve.

Agile Transformation is a journey and not a process.

It is a cultural, behavioral and mindset shift from bureaucratic to pragmatic empiricism. Agile teams improve through learning, inspection and adaption which help in bringing a consistent delivery cadence in shorter and visible iterative development cycles. Support from the leadership team is a must, and the focus of agile project management should be more on the degree of adaptability instead of predictability.

Over a period of time when the team starts delivering with consistent velocity, it helps in increasing the confidence in the achievement of customer goals and defined outcomes.

Management is assigned, but leadership must be earned.

A key skill relevant to leaders at all levels is the ability to influence people in such a way that others follow and act willingly.

Today’s projects are increasingly undertaken in environments in which the project leader has little formal authority.

A project with no one in charge is almost certain to fail. As a project manager you must assume control whether or not you possess formal organizational authority.

The good news is you can be an outstanding leader even without formal authority. In this interactive webinar you will learn exactly how.

Some techniques to be covered include:

• Adopting a leadership style that works with your team members and striving to deliver on what people care about most
• Deriving power from your expertise
• Building your awareness and skill for influencing others
• Utilizing intrinsic motivating factors
• Increasing your influence through your actions and demeanor

Join Shawn Stratton (LinkedIn profile) and learn to lead in situations where you have little direct authority.

Leading With Little Authority

Online Webinar – Recorded April 29th, 2021

Provider: Training Magazine Network

During turbulent times like this, you hear many people talk about the “resistance to change” and how this phenomenon impairs an organization’s ability to rapidly adapt and respond.

The problem with this mentality is that it assumes change is unwelcome, difficult and instinctively avoided by people. But the more neuroscientists learn about the working of the human brain, the more they learn that we yearn for change, for novelty, for anything that will make our lives fresh, better and more exciting.

Whether you’re dealing with changes to your business priorities, work spaces, or corporate culture, it’s time for leaders to embrace the idea that their most important role is not to drive change, but to facilitate the natural desire to change.

Join Joan Peterson, (LinkedIn profile) Vice President of Bluepoint Leadership Development, for this webinar where she will share Bluepoint’s formula for successfully initiating, executing and sustaining change.

During this webinar, Joan will:

• Identify the three dimensions that leaders need to make priorities in order to help others embrace, execute and accelerate change
• Explore the skills, approaches, and habits that will have the most immediate and significant impact as you and your team navigate change

With the proliferation of cloud-based self-service platforms, it is becoming increasingly commonplace for business to break free from the shackles that bound them to Information Technology (IT) strategy forever.

While strategy is never a bad thing, it can be the slow-moving tanker that takes forever to change course, and in the age of agility, most companies have not aligned their strategy with agile principles, even less so IT.

Shadow IT, as it is known, has many advantages – with business possessing the ability to pursue available opportunities quickly proving the biggest plus. But it also creates many challenges.

These challenges require attention in order to prevent a shadow IT initiative from going rogue.

What are these challenges, and how do we mitigate the risk associated with them?

Join Anton Oosthuizen (LinkedIn profile), as he shares lessons learned from practical experience that can be applied by both project managers and business analysts to keep shadow IT initiatives in the light.

Technology and service providers (TSPs) should expect economic uncertainty to challenge their revenue growth goals.

Uncertainty, by definition, compromises routine strategies, rules of thumb, and assumptions. This can lead to confusion and delays in market signals, decision making, and action.

Despite these headwinds, overall IT spending increased in 2022 and will increase in 2023 – in every country and industry.

Unfortunately, this statement cannot be extended to every IT market Gartner tracks. Yet, there were TSPs that achieved breakaway growth in 2022.

In this webinar, John-David Lovelock, (LinkedIn profile, Gartner bio) Gartner Distinguished VP Analyst &Gartner expert Mark McDonald (LinkedIn profile, Gartner bio) Gartner  Vice President  will review the Global IT Spending Forecast, the CIOs’ reactions to inflation, the contextual change in digital transformation projects, and how this all affects IT markets – which are growing vs those that will retract in 2023.

Plus, they’ll review how you can use a Gartner framework to understand your exposure to and implications of uncertainty, so that you can be set up for growth in 2023 and beyond.

Discussion Topics:

• What Gartner forecasts for IT Spending growth in 2023 and beyond
• Understand which markets are positively and negatively impacted by the current uncertainties
• Gain insight from the companies that generated breakaway growth in 2022
