Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) is considered by some as the most suitable option to scale Agile from a software development team to a large program of work. Although presented as an Agile framework, SAFe includes many practices from Lean and ITIL, and it is considered by some agilists as too formal to be Agile: a re-branded ‘waterfall’.

This webinar is an analysis of SAFe from a project, program, and portfolio delivery point of view. The webinar looks at the SAFe practices used before the publication of the Manifesto for Agile software development (Agile Manifesto), especially the Lean ones.

Stelian Roman (LinkedIn profile) will provide recommendations on how SAFe can be used in projects that are not software development related, in combination  with the PMBOK® Guide, to provide Agility for ‘near perfect’ product development processes.

There is a lot of – often passionate – debate on and offline amongst PPM practitioners when it comes to these decisions.

Moving to a more agile way of working is not easy. Most infrastructure projects are still delivered via a linear Waterfall approach of design, build, test, and commission through large and often disparate teams.

Within these projects, PMOs are indispensable for Project Managers in ensuring they have the right resources, achieve progress towards goals, and deliver expected benefits.

In this webinar Sachin Melwani (LinkedIn profile) will look at how PMOs can go further and be a driver of transformation. He will ask the question whether Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) can be used to scale Agile to large programs of work that are not software related.

Sachin will look at how Agile PMOs can help Project Managers follow an iterative development approach to planning and delivery.

To do this, PMOs themselves will need to adapt to this ever-changing dynamic to be able to keep up with shorter delivery cycles and shifting priorities.

Projects can then be driven by agile teams that use continuous feedback loops to adjust their course and make incremental deliveries.

We will look at how the PMO can support Agile project delivery and how the PMO can support overall business agility to adopt some of the Agile mindset.

The role of Sponsors will change to support this Agile delivery by measuring benefits and value being delivered and shifting focus from gateway methodology-driven project execution.

As self-managing teams progress with delivery, how do changes and variations get approved?

Similarly, how do the processes for risk draw-down need to change to allow project teams to be more nimble and the Project Manager to respond to day-to-day basis without escalation?

Per the Agile Business Consortium, business agility allows businesses to adapt quickly to market changes; respond rapidly and flexibly to customer demands; adapt and lead change in a productive and cost-effective way without compromising quality; and continuously be at a competitive advantage.

The primary reason for moving to Agile is to achieve faster business value and keep you ahead of the competition. Agile is built for change – fundamentally, it is about creating Business Agility.

It enables the enterprise to deliver projects more efficiently, with relentless focus on business value and providing the highest return on investment.

Whether it is a software project, a new service offering or a new product, Agile’s twelve principles and three pillars (transparency, inspection, adaptation) are designed to reduce money spent on undesirable or unusable features which were built based on outdated requirements.

In this webinar Lalig Musserian & Jim Stewart PMP will provide an overview of Agile as the umbrella term encompassing multiple techniques, with a deeper dive into Scrum, its most popular method.

After this session, executives will achieve a stronger understanding of Agile and Scrum, and how it can benefit their enterprise project delivery.

Learning Outcomes

• Understand Agile Methods and how they can help an enterprise
• Understand how Agile helps provide business value faster
• Understand what next steps executives can take to turbocharge project delivery and business value optimization
