Agile Project Performance Management
With
the widespread growth of
agile project management and agile development methods, we face
challenges when
these projects don’t (or can’t) provide us with our standard
performance
metrics for project health assessment and project portfolio management.
Proponents of agile methodologies,
who tend
to emerge from the development community, rebel against standard
organizational
processes for project tracking and control, and few in the project
management
world really understand these agile methods well enough to try and
adapt traditional
tracking mechanisms to these high-change projects. Many ask “how can I
apply earned value
measurements when the baseline keeps shifting?”
Join
Kevin Aguanno, an executive
project manager and a well-known expert on the agile methodologies, as
he explains
how project managers can adapt existing control systems (and
incorporate the
metrics provided by the agile methods themselves) to better track and
control
projects using these methods.
Participants
will learn:
- How traditional planning and
metrics fail on high-change projects
- What is agile project management?
- The benefits of agile approaches
on high-change projects
- The various agile performance
metrics used for tracking schedule, budget, and quality
- Recent statistics showing the
adoption rate of agile methods in the industry
Governance
and control is one of
the key “missing links” identified by organizations in why some are
still
hesitant about adopting agile. Fill
this
knowledge gap with tips from the experts in this presentation. Book now!

Kevin for a wonderful
presentation! I spoke to you prior to your presentation and

so much for your very informative presentation! A number of years ago,

previous exposure to Agile."
