There are hundreds of different Agile Certifications from competing organizations. Even the authors of the Scrum Framework decided to have separate certifications, and later to create various levels.

Due to its popularity, the Scrum Master role transcended the Scrum Framework and is now included in many other frameworks – even when those frameworks don’t include a Scrum team.

A 2-3 day course won’t necessarily provide a professional with the practical experience and knowledge needed to excel in a particular role. Agile, including Scrum, is an empirical approach which requires experience outside of the classroom to master. While training is a solid place to start in one’s Agile journey, it is hard to believe that anyone can become a good Product Owner, Scrum Master, Value Stream Consultant, Trainer, or Coach in less than one year.

True professional growth occurs in the real world application of the knowledge obtained through certification.

In this webinar Stelian Roman (LinkedIn profile) gives  a cost/benefit analysis of how Agile Certifications can help project delivery, offering examples of when a certification helps and what a Project Manager should look for when choosing a certification.

(IIST – Rep 4514) – A Rommana ALM Webinar

Whether your project is agile or not, it is critical that you practice good requirement and/or user story management.

Requirements and user stories do not just exist by themselves. Instead, they are linked to other artifacts such as test cases and test sets, scenarios and/or acceptance criteria, code and design components, tasks, risks, and actions.

Requirements and user stories also change during the course of a project and over the lifecycle of an application. Some requirements or user stories originate from user requests, some evolve from bug reports or issues, and some are even enhancements to existing functionalities.

A good requirement/user story management tool must support all these aspects of features.

This webinar will demonstrate how the requirement / user story component of Rommana ALM supports all these aspects and more.

The intent is to help you understand true requirement and user story management so that you can make an informed decision regarding tool selection and tool adoption.

If you are already using a tool to manage your requirements and/or user stories, this webinar should help you customize your tool to support all these aspects.

Provider: Gartner Webinars

Constantly changing strategic priorities requires CIOs to balance execution across the IT and enterprise operating models.

To leverage execution success, CIOs need to understand dependencies between operating models, clarify capabilities and provide engaging tactics.

An organization’s ability to adapt enterprise business operations (or EOM) will impact the success of executing new objectives.

However, 62% of strategy leaders identified that an overburdened legacy operating model is unable to support current and future strategic objectives and plans (business models), making it more difficult to develop capabilities at the required pace.

In this webinar Joanne Kopcho (LinkedIn profile, Gartner bio) Gartner VP Analyst & Monika Sinha (LinkedIn profile, Gartner bio) Gartner VP Analyst will present this  leadership webinar to understand how the IT operating model interconnects with the enterprise operating model and where they can orchestrate success across these digitalized assets, channels, and capabilities.

Discussion Topics:

• Determine the relationship between information and technology operating model (ITOM) and the enterprise operating model (EOM)
• Clarify IT’s contribution to the enterprise’s business capabilities
• Deliver leadership value beyond improving the performance of the IT function
