A common misconception exists among many practitioners who think an Agile approach means abandoning all of the knowledge areas and processes emphasized in the PMBOK® Guide. Nothing could be farther from the truth!

In this compelling presentation, Nancy will use real life examples to verify that core project management principles apply, regardless of the development approach. Leveraging the best of both the PMBOK® and Agile methods can deliver the highest value.

By attending, you will learn:

• How both traditional and Agile methods and techniques complement each other
• When to use traditional vs. Agile methods
• How to use “Achieved Value” (AV) instead of “Earned Value” (EV) to measure the value of project delivery
