Many of today’s project managers are finding themselves leading and managing Agile development teams, only to find that many of the tools and techniques applied when utilizing a traditional project management approach no longer work as effectively, or at all.

In order to do more than survive in this iterative development environment, today’s PM must employ additional project management tools and techniques to effectively lead their teams and deliver their projects.

Learning how to transition from a traditional project manager to an effective Agile Project Manager is going to be an essential step for today’s software development leaders to remain relevant.

This hour long webinar will explore how today’s PM can easily and successfully make the transition to an effective Agile PM.
