Thought leaders (from John Dewey to Jay Cross to Seymour Papert to Jane Hart to Roger Schank) advocate for more informal learning. If you are inclined towards informality, are you certain about what it is and what it means for your enterprise? What about the far less popular and overwhelmingly more prevalent, formal learning? What are these forms really and in what circumstances are they most appropriate?

“Here I nail the jellied concepts of formal and informal learning to the wall through examples and an online tool—and I press participants to become more mindful about decisions about freedom, choice, technology, synchronicity and asynchronicity, push and pull. Use the free online YinYang tool to reflect on the possibilities for formal and informal learning for your organization and your projects.”

Speakers: Allison Rossett (LinkedIn profile) long time Professor of Educational Technology at San Diego State University, is in the Training magazine HRD Hall of Fame, was a member of the ASTD International Board of Directors, and was honored with selection as an ISPI Member-for-Life and more recently with the Thomas Gilbert Award.

A common misconception exists among many practitioners who think an Agile approach means abandoning all of the knowledge areas and processes emphasized in the PMBOK® Guide. Nothing could be farther from the truth!

In this compelling presentation, Nancy will use real life examples to verify that core project management principles apply, regardless of the development approach. Leveraging the best of both the PMBOK® and Agile methods can deliver the highest value.

By attending, you will learn:

• How both traditional and Agile methods and techniques complement each other
• When to use traditional vs. Agile methods
• How to use “Achieved Value” (AV) instead of “Earned Value” (EV) to measure the value of project delivery
