Agile software development can be leveraged in high assurance and regulated environments, providing increased productivity, quality, safety, efficacy and faster time to market. Learn how an Agile, high assurance life cycle model achieves these benefits in a series of short system iterations that define, build, and verify new and highly reliable user functionality.

This event will also include a demonstration of how continuous verification, including inherent traceability can be automated to save time and reduce error over manual processes.

Get primed on this topic. Visit Rally’s Agile Tooling for High Assurance Software Development blog.

“Any notion that we are mandated to apply a single-pass, waterfall model to software development is an industry myth, one which has likely been perpetuated by our own waterfall past (“we’ve always done it this way”) and our existing quality management systems, and not because “the regulations make us do it”. – Dean Leffingwell

Presenters:

Craig Langenfeld, Product Ambassador, Rally Software

Dean Leffingwell, Software Industry Executive and Author of a number of books on agile topics including Scaling Software Agility: Best Practices for Large Enterprises and his latest book Agile Software Requirements: Lean Requirements Practices for Teams, Programs, and the Enterprise (Agile Software Development Series).

It’s time for the annual budgeting process for many of us. And that can be one of the most mysterious processes known to mankind!

  • What goes on in this back-room meetings?
  • And how are next year’s projects really selected?
  • What’s the project list look like today?

Probably different than it did yesterday! How can we, as project management professionals and PMO professionals, get this process under control?

As usual, the ProjectTalk guys have some opinions on the subject, and some tips for how to get Strategic Portfolio Management started in your organization. Join us as we explore the approach to Strategic Portfolio Management and how to start leveraging the functionality of Microsoft Project Server 2010 to get your project portfolio under control.

Project Talk is an interactive ‘radio show’ and web-session with real-time demonstrations of common project management and scheduling issues and how to address them using Microsoft Project and other tools.

If you’d like to participate in the show, ask a question or offer a comment, simply type it into the Q&A Tool, then raise your hand using the ‘raise your hand’ tool, and un-mute your microphone so you can join the conversation!

Anyone who participates live on the show will receive a stylish MPUG T-Shirt or other great prize!

Note: When registering for this event REMEMBER to answer the question “Are you requesting a PMI PDU for this event?”
