In this webinar Melanie will help you understand the skills, mindset and priorities that you need as you make the transition from traditional project management (often based on PRINCE2) to Agile Project Management.

Agile is a different way of working, and as an experienced project and programme manager Melanie has seen the evolution of agile, and has built agile project environments for many of her clients.

As a result she is able to provide a simple, clear explanation of the differences between using ‘waterfall’ project management, with lots of requirements gathering and planning up front and an agile approach which demands the project manager facilitates an evolving solution.
