“Agile projects need to report to the PMO”
How does this statement make you feel? 

Anxious? Frustrated?  Anticipating a fight? There’s likely to be resistance. 

The reality is, all projects, even Agile ones, should have supports to be successful.  But at the same time, PMOs can’t remain the same and expect Agilists to just comply; PMOs also need to change and adapt. 

Rubin Jen will review the types of PMOs and what benefit they bring to an organization, but then also their place in an Agile environment.  He will investigate the value they need to have for Agile projects.  And finally, he’ll provide a few examples of value-added services that can assist.

Agile planning is widely different from Waterfall planning based on Gantt charts.

There are many factors to consider when developing an Agile plan to make sure it increases successful project delivery.

How can you use these steps to proactively approach Agile planning? In this webinar, attendees will learn the components of an Agile plan and how to create one.

You will learn about the “onion” model of Agile planning and consider each step in the planning process, particularly product planning and release planning.

You will leave with the knowledge necessary to construct their own Agile plans.

Waterfall, agile, or both?

We know that each methodology comes with its own benefits and challenges and that a linear, waterfall approach doesn’t always work in a fast-paced, rapidly evolving environment.

But how do we combine the two approaches to fit our real-world projects?

In this webinar, you’ll see what a hybrid approach can do for your projects, along with when and how to implement them.

Keith will take you through three scenarios to demonstrate using a hybrid approach in the real world.

Topics include:

• An overview of what a hybrid approach is
• Selecting waterfall or agile roles, practices, and techniques
• How a hybrid approach is used in real scenarios

(IIST – Rep 4514) – A Rommana ALM Webinar

Whether your project is agile or not, it is critical that you practice good requirement and/or user story management.

Requirements and user stories do not just exist by themselves. Instead, they are linked to other artifacts such as test cases and test sets, scenarios and/or acceptance criteria, code and design components, tasks, risks, and actions.

Requirements and user stories also change during the course of a project and over the lifecycle of an application. Some requirements or user stories originate from user requests, some evolve from bug reports or issues, and some are even enhancements to existing functionalities.

A good requirement/user story management tool must support all these aspects of features.

In this webinar Magdy will demonstrate how the requirement / user story component of Rommana ALM supports all these aspects and more. The intent is to help you understand true requirement and user story management so that you can make an informed decision regarding tool selection and tool adoption.

If you are already using a tool to manage your requirements and/or user stories, this webinar should help you customize your tool to support all these aspects.
