Live Webinar – April 5th 2012, 1:00-2:00 PM EDT
Duration: 1 Hour 1 PDU / 1 CDU Credits: 1 PDU Category C – Free PDU
Presented by: Pillar Technology Group

I am passionate about Agile because I believe it solves many
(not all) of the problems we have been facing in IT for years.
– Daryl Kulak

Daryl will discuss:

  • The Ideal Role of the PMO
  • The Ideal Role of the Project Office
  • The Current Reality – Agile really doesn’t address either at the Enterprise level
  • Why Agile Practices Don’t Address PMO
  • The PMO’s Role in Becoming Agile
  • How the PMO can Benefit from agile Practices

Presenter: Daryl Kulak (LinkedIn profile) author of Use Cases: Requirements in Context (2nd Edition). After a brief introduction to use cases and the Unified Modeling Language (UML), it explains how use cases reduce the incidence of duplicate and inconsistent requirements, and how they facilitate the documentation process and communication among stakeholders. The book also highlights numerous currently available tools, including use case name filters, the context matrix, user interface requirements, and Daryl’s own “hierarchy killer.”

Pillar Technology Group cares about the community. Individual training costs are “VERY Reasonable” and the proceeds of the training go to charity inspired by the “Agile Manifesto” and many other foundational works in the industry. Check out their training page.

As Angelo Mazzocco, President of Pillar explains “We live in an economy where access to “free” or not for profit is becoming a part of our every day lives. It is in this spirit that we would like to launch the Pillar Training Series. It is our passion that we should not profit from the distribution of knowledge. So our courses will be unique. All proceeds generated from a course will be donated to charity. All work done in the course will be for a charity.
