Online Webinar – Recorded April 5th, 2019 Activity Type: Education – Online or Digital Media 1 PDU – Free Provider: APMG International
Melanie Demystifies Agile!
Do you know what Agile means for your organisation?
Do you know what to do to become more Agile?
Are you feeling confused by the terminology?
Have you heard about Agile brands like Scrum and Scaled Agile Framework® (SAFe®) but don’t know what they mean?
Do you know who to involve in developing your Agile approach?
A key part of the cultural transformations that Melanie Franklin is involved in is the desire to become more Agile. A common issue across all these transformations is the confusion around what Agile is and what it will mean for the organisation.
In this webinar Melanie is going to start with the basics explaining:
The different Agile brands,
The principles of Agile working and
How this translates into Agile processes and a lifecycle model.
She will differentiate between development and project implementation and show how change management is a critical element of effective Agile working.
Melanie will also use examples to show how Agile can be applied to all sorts of initiatives and that it is not just for IT.

PDU Of The Day
My Christmas Card To You
Focusing on a healthy work/life balance is important! It has been an intense year for our teams, our families, our communities and our work as we adapt to health challenges.
As we look forward to 2025 we trust and pray that together we can work towards finding a new normal that creates engagement between communities that assists, supports and encourages each other.
Project managers understand how crucially important respect and project team wellness are to the productivity of the project.
In 2024 if you support your teams in any way, recognize that building engagement builds loyalty. We are divided more than ever – building unity and respect amongst our teams is the best way to succeed!
I genuinely want to thank all of our readers and our volunteers who have made this site possible! I know that you are of many diverse backgrounds and faiths and at this time of year I appreciate being able to express my thanks and best wishes in one of my favorite holiday songs. The lyrics of this song express my thoughts and my prayers to all of you so much better than I can express.
To you and all your family, your neighbors and your friends
May all your days be happy with a joy that never ends
May peace and love surround you
at Christmas time and all the whole year through …
I’m looking out my window at the softly falling snow
that dances in the early morning light
I got my guitar right before me, strummin’ a beautiful sound
watching it a-comin’ down, all around
on the fields and the farms and the road to town
And I’m thinkin’ up a letter that I’m writin’ in my head
a Christmas card to all the folks I love
Instead of lettin’ the postman bring it, I decided I’d rather sing it
especially for you, for you …
To you and all your family, your neighbors and your friends
May all your days be happy with a joy that never ends
May peace and love surround you
at Christmas time and all the whole year through
May your life be filled with sunshine, may your every wish come true
May you find the sweet fulfillment in everything you do
May your days be blessed with the very very best
both now and the whole year through
it says so in my Christmas card to …
You and all your family, your neighbors and your friends
May all your days be happy with a joy that never ends
May peace and love surround you
at Christmas time and all the whole year through
at Christmas time and all the whole year through
Please do what you can to support others even if it is only to share a smile!

Coaching was not necessarily a role and practice that existed when Agile started as a new approach in the 1970s.
Agile began as an alternative to Lean Six Sigma which is the very mindset that is coming back to Agile as a way to ‘scale’ frameworks developed for small teams of software developers.
Like some other practices that originated in Extreme Programming (XP), Story Points and burndown charts, the Coach role evolved to something that is hard to define.
From an advisor to Senior Management, to a Trainer, or a salesman for various Agile certifications, the Agile Coach is almost always specific to software development. Agile Manufacturing and Lean Six Sigma, which may be considered much larger Business Transformations, don’t necessarily have a Coach for each unit of the organization.
In this webinar Stelian Roman (LinkedIn profile) gives a Project Manager’s analysis of the Agile Coach, Business Coach, and Lean Six Sigma’s Master Black Belt roles.
