Fifty-minute sessions feature case studies from teams that have succeeded in using agile methods to efficiently create better software.
Today, I saw "The Hybid PMO" by Sanjiv Augustine and Roland Cuellar of LitheSpeed
Even when agile methods succeed unequivocally at the team level, middle-management still faces two major, continuing challenges: managing a hybrid portfolio of agile and non-agile teams, and reporting progress upwards to the executive boardroom. How can PMOs bridge the gap between executive management weaned on plan-driven methods and predictability, and teams operating with agility in the face of uncertainty? How can they create a consistent reporting framework applicable to both agile and non-agile teams and communicate all-around progress effectively?
Sanjiv and Roland shared principles and techniques for the Hybrid PMO, and discussed some of the crucial management steps in establishing such a group, based upon their decade of experience in helping firms adopt agile at enterprise scale.
It doesn't matter if you want to learn from leading Agile pundits or just looking to get a few PMI PDUs. This webinar was very enjoyable. VersionOne will be uploading the webinar in a day or tow for those who were unable to join the live presentation. All of this was FREE!
