Agile is perceived as a better way of delivering projects, products, and services.

Unlike the traditional approach of measuring the value delivered based on the planned deliverables, the budget spent, and meeting the critical milestones, Agile doesn’t provide clear metrics that can be used to compare projects and delivery teams.

Agile is a new approach, and traditional project benchmarking may not be relevant.

In the absence of standards and guidance from a community of practice,  Agile teams use qualitative or semi-quantitative metrics to visualize progress.

Metrics like velocity, burn-down charts, and defects escaped are pretty common at the team level, but many teams fail to use them beyond the team to compare themselves with other teams or to the industry.

One reason is that most metrics are very subjective and easy to be gamed. This webinar presents a user-centric model, measuring the project from the customer perspective rather than old concepts that require technical expertise to size the project.

Microsoft’s Project Portfolio Management (PPM) solution has often been characterized as a tool suitable only for waterfall projects.

Anything iterative or Agile cannot be done using PPM. Please join Bob Tyler (LinkedIn profile) as he proves these claims false!

PPM is a very powerful scheduling tool, but it can also be used very effectively on projects using Agile or other iterative methodologies.

Using the latest version of PPM, Bob will demonstrate how it can be done, with most of the work being done directly in Project Web App. Requiring nothing more than configuration changes to Microsoft Project and the Project Server, PPM can be used very efficiently to manage Agile projects.

No custom coding or macros are required!

Agile Project Management requires some additional skills to be possessed by an Agile Project Manager. It does not only involve managerial skills but also requires more team-oriented and leadership skills.

Agile Development is a value-driven model with focus on outcomes unlike traditional approaches which are plan-driven in nature and based on output. At the same time, the centripetal force for success of the agile-based project is the agile team which executes it.

It also requires additional skills in terms of adaptability, self-organization and motivation to continuously improve.

Agile Transformation is a journey and not a process.

It is a cultural, behavioral and mindset shift from bureaucratic to pragmatic empiricism. Agile teams improve through learning, inspection and adaption which help in bringing a consistent delivery cadence in shorter and visible iterative development cycles. Support from the leadership team is a must, and the focus of agile project management should be more on the degree of adaptability instead of predictability.

Over a period of time when the team starts delivering with consistent velocity, it helps in increasing the confidence in the achievement of customer goals and defined outcomes.

As organizations pursue their strategic goals, they likely maintain a project portfolio that is a mix of stable, definable projects built on proven procedures in addition to the more risky and undefined projects that are meant to create new products, services, or capabilities.

Project managers who can deliver results in an iterative fashion, with a high level of stakeholder involvement and increased customer feedback loops, are the first choice for these project assignments.  That is because they demonstrate facility with the new tools of the agile project manager.

Learning points covered in this webinar include:

• Picking the right methodology for the job
• Choosing what skills and relationships to enhance
• Understanding how project planning, tracking, and team management work in these hybrid settings
• Knowing your role in supporting organization change management
