As agile delivery reaches its peak, Agile Metrics is still an emergent topic. Most Agile teams with 4-5 years of practice who are ready to progress to a more mature delivery approach and/or attempt larger and more complex products and projects find that the metrics used by the team in their journey to agility are often challenged at the project level and beyond.

Some frameworks introduced the concept of releases and release planning but, in most cases, the planning is product-oriented rather than an integral part of a project/portfolio/program plan.

One challenge in aligning product-based planning with project-oriented planning is the estimation process and the metrics used.

Most “traditional” agile metrics are relative metrics – very useful for a small team but almost useless in planning a project.

The main challenge is the validity limited to the team level and the lack of consideration for cost and business process integration.

In this webinar Stelian Roman (LinkedIn profile) experiences using the Lean Six Sigma DMAIC framework for Process Improvement for software development projects with a focus on M (Measure); it will address project estimation and planning.

Agile has found its way into project delivery with the PMBOK® Guide and PMI certification recognizing the growing adoption of agile practices.

Most agile frameworks, like Scrum, Crystal, and XP, were conceived by developers for a small team of developers and do not cover the entire Project lifecycle.

A project is not limited to product delivery by a small team, and most agile frameworks are challenged when scaling up to the enterprise level, especially in organizations with a mature Governance framework where a Project Management Office has the responsibility for Project Delivery.

In the trenches, the famous ‘mindset change’ applies not only to people that used planned approaches but also to the people that started agile in small product development teams that must learn the value of aligning their ways of doing things to Enterprise goals.

In this webinar Stelian Roman (LinkedIn profile)  covers the project delivery phases, based on the presenter’s 30+ years of experience as an Agile practitioner, moving from managing Software Development teams to managing “real” projects.

This webinar is an experience sharing exercise based on the fundamental principle that the best way to become Agile is by “doing it and helping others to do it”.

Inflection points and wild cards continually threaten to shake up industries. However, future-fit organizations are able to survive disruption by actively sensing and responding to changes.

Still, a recent Gartner survey found that only 38% of organizations have a formal process for this type of trendspotting. Executives who are not adequately trendspotting already likely will miss critical inputs to their strategic assumptions and planning.

This leaves their organization exposed to blind spots and risk, limiting their ability to capitalize on these opportunities.

In this webinar Marty Resnick (LinkedIn profile, Gartner bio) Gartner Sr. Director Analyst & KI Leader will explain how executives across functional areas can scope key trends and disruptions that enable accurate strategic assumptions.

Learn to factor in emerging macro and environmental trends that could impact your organization’s business models and strategic planning.

Discussion Topics:

• Identify critical areas of disruption in 7 key areas
• Get Gartner insights on a range of critical macro and environment trends
• Discover Gartner strategic assumptions across 21 disruptive forces
