Melanie Demystifies Agile!

Demystifying Agile from APMG International on Vimeo.

1. Do you know what Agile means for your organisation?
2. Do you know what to do to become more Agile?
3. Are you feeling confused by the terminology?
4. Have you heard about Agile brands like Scrum and Scaled Agile Framework® (SAFe®) but don’t know what they mean?
5. 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:

1. The different Agile brands,
2. The principles of Agile working and
3. 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.

Presenter: Melanie Franklin, (LinkedIn profile, @AgileMelanie) has a track record of excellence in project, programme and portfolio planning & delivery. She has set up and run the project management capability for several major corporates and has been responsible for the successful delivery of global transformational change programmes for over twenty years.

Managing change is challenging at the best of times. Whether you are implementing project results or seeking overall transformation of organizational cultures or practices, you are asking people to do things in ways that are different from what they know, what is familiar to them and what they are used to.

Even where what is being implemented is far superior, there is going to be resistance.

A frequent temptation in such situations is to default to the mantra of “senior management should just make them, and then they will have to do it.”

Nice idea on paper. Never works in practice.

In gaining traction in any change, senior management support is required. But what that looks like, what is needed and what actually works is often far different than most people think.

Yes there needs to be senior management buy-in, but there needs to be so much more if change is going to work.

If you manage change and struggle with how to get support and traction, this is a webinar that you won’t want to miss.

Project-based thinking and process is often the largest inhibitor of achieving agility. It explains why the notion of ‘Project to Product’ has gained such popularity to the point of becoming a buzzword in recent years.

Despite the enthusiasm about becoming a product-driven organization, many companies still hang onto their old project-based ways due to some “big rock” constraints, including funding and separation of IT and business.

So, what can you do to make a successful shift?

Join Anne Steiner, Cprime’s VP of Product & Technology, to explore the challenges you may face in your product agility journey and how to overcome them. We’ll explore:

• Common constraints you may encounter when shifting from project to product and how to address them
• How to shift to product based funding models
• The role of the product manager
• Benefits you’ll experience with true product agility

Presenter:  Anne Steiner  (LinkedIn profile) VP of Product and Technology at Cprime leads the Cprime Product Agility and Technology practice. She was previously band leader for DevJam. DevJam has helped companies of all shapes and sizes transform from traditional, project-thinking to become product-driven organizations that emphasize continuous learning. Anne has 20+ years’ experience in the software industry, working as a developer, product owner, product leader, and coach.

Background checks are ingrained in law and compliance. The Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), state laws, and local ordinances define relevant requirements and restrictions.

Courts and government agencies are often the sources of some records. In fact, laws may be why you screen in the first place, with many industries facing regulations.

Most importantly, no matter how or why you screen your employees, you, as an employer, have legal obligations.

Employers must obtain and use background checks according to various laws.

Join Clare Horvik (LinkedIn profile) Sr. Contributor & Director of Marketing Verified Credentials, for this webinar to learn where compliance updates and background checks are in the news.

She’ll let you in on what trends we are tracking, from drug testing restrictions to the latest judgments.

You’ll also see how courts are ruling on cases involving critical disclosure and authorization documents. Join us to learn about compliance topics trending in 2022:

• FCRA 101
  • Refresh your understanding of core FCRA requirements. Get the top news about changes that may help expand your knowledge of the federal law.
•  Beyond Ban the Box
  • New state and local laws place restrictions on the use of background checks and drug tests. Get our take on what’s been going on and what movements are gaining momentum. You’ll want to hear about it.
• Consumer Privacy Impacts
  • Courts have heralded a new era of criminal history. In some cases, they’ve even redacted some identifiers on public records. This is a hotly monitored concern for background screeners and employers alike. Compliance is fundamental to using background checks in your hiring process. We’ll also share some resources to help you review your background screening policy. You may walk away with a better understanding of central compliance concerns – and other emerging trends to monitor. Sign up to hear about these compliance updates and examples of what background screening laws may impact your organization

Adherence to time, budget, and scope has been the gold standard measure of project success since the beginning of time.  Most of the time we are super happy if we even get two of those!

Now, as the digital world shifts from thinking in fixed-time period projects to ongoing product efforts with associated teams, markets, and horizons, adherence to time, budget, and scope has little do with the actual success of an initiative.

In this talk, Anne Steiner, (LinkedIn profile) VP of Product and Technology at Cprime, talks about the challenges and advantages companies and teams unlock when they apply product thinking over project thinking.

Anne will explore topics like team formation, budgeting and planning, and reducing cycle times in order to fuel continuous product learning. You’ll be challenged to think beyond traditional project management norms and to elevate the delivery of value as the gold standard for success.

This event is part of Agile 20 Reflect Festival, a global community-led agile event.
