Fortune 500 companies are urgently adapting Agile to their work, whether building eLearning or IT solutions.  Unfortunately, just about everyone is a novice.

Agility, collaboration and learning through mistakes is NOT the way most teams are used to working.  Training professionals have the unique ability to help grow a new Agile way for people to work together to serve the customer needs.

Transitioning to an Agile philosophy, process, tools and mindset is a positive experience, but only after you let go of your Unconscious Bias to Hierarchy.

The focus changes to:

• Satisfying the customer
• Embracing constant change
• Creating working ‘stuff’ instead of lots of diagrams
• Equal voice and contribution
• Emphasizing face to face (not email) interaction
• Choosing simplicity over everything
• Constantly adjusting through reflection and learning

Training professionals are often more qualified to identify and shift culture, collaborate no matter what, and focus on the hard “Soft” skills – collaboration, communication and clarity.

But traditional workshop will not be popular.  Learn how to transfer learning in small ways within the Agile process.

Learn to lead the charge by:

• Building confidence in leading in the Agile space through in the moment learning.
• Identifying how roles and norms are different in Agile and how they create anxiety in a hierarchical company
• Learn from stories of others so you can use your training powers to lead your company through the rough cultural transition. Lead the people side of Agile to support your IT project success.

The rise in popularity of Agile methods during the last decade has been both a benefit and a challenge for project and portfolio management teams.

While Agile methods have proven to increase and accelerate value to organizations by delivering faster and better results when applied to the right projects and in the right way, many organizations still struggle to figure out what to do with these new approaches for managing projects.

When this happens, Agile methods can become an obstacle and hindrance to benefits realization.

By breaking down the methodologies into smaller components, Benoit will explore how the ingredients of traditional and Agile can be blended more easily, doing away with dogmatic approaches.

Learn:

• How Agile is different but also similar to traditional methods
• How Agile techniques can complement more traditional approaches
• What other companies are doing to improve how they manage work this way.

Agile approaches continue to increase in popularity in the world of project management. A range of popular Agile methods have been employed to varying degrees by organizations to support their project management practices.

But few of them offer a complete project management solution (e.g. covering the full project lifecycle, roles & responsibilities, etc).

AgilePM guidance – published by the Agile Business Consortium – offers a complete framework for agile project management, achieving an ideal balance between the standards, rigour and visibility required for good project management, and the fast-pace, change and empowerment provided by agile.

And it’s proving very popular. Since its introduction in 2010, over 85,000 AgilePM exams have been sat globally, making it the leading guidance and certification for agile project management.

During this webinar, Armel Quirino (LinkedIn profile) AgilePM instructor at QRP International) will delve into the guidance, outlining the key features that make it a complete framework for successful agile projects.
