APM’s Real World Project Management Series

There is a current trend that says agile methods remove the need for project managers.

This webinar will show why that is not the case, but that project managers need to consider what can be taken from the methods in order to be more agile.

The presentation covers:

• Brief outline of agile methods
• What tools and techniques project and programme managers found most useful
• Common ways to adapt and blend agile methods if full scale adoption isn’t feasible
• What not to do!

Susan is a practitioner herself, so her presentation will be grounded in practical findings which attendees can instantly implement across their projects. Susan will also describe materials which will continue to support those who adapt agile in their day to day life.

Presenter: Susan Clarke (LinkedIn profile) is passionate about supporting the next generation of IT PMs and  has been a member of the APM NW committee for several years. She is the author of research papers on agile development and project management, including APM white papers on the practical adoption of agile and scaled agile methodologies.

In the webinar “Microsoft Project and Agile: Apples and Oranges?”, Bob Tyler (LinkedIn profile)  explored how to use Microsoft Project on the desktop to manage Agile projects.

In this webinar sequel, Bob will take it to the next level and discuss how to use Project Web App (PWA) to manage Agile projects! And you will do it without custom coding or writing macros!

Microsoft PPM (Project Portfolio Management – Microsoft Project with Project Server) is a very powerful scheduling tool, but it can also be used very effectively on projects using Agile or other iterative methodologies.

Using Project Server (on premise or Project Online), Bob will demonstrate how PWA can be used to do it!

Requiring nothing more than configuration changes to Microsoft Project and the Project Server, PPM can be used very successfully to manage Agile projects.
