Agile Management and Certification in Practice
Is Agile Project Management different from Agile Software development?
Presenter: Liam Dillom
Agile and Agile Certification has caught the attention of business leaders in Europe and globally as a means of managing change, reducing time to market, eliminating waste and attracting and retaining customers. The questions are:
- What is Agile Project Management and how it is embed in organisations?
- How can agile Certification contribute to success
- How does it differ from traditional waterfall and how can organisation transition?
- What are the skills and competencies required for this Agile role?
- Can Agile work with your existing governance frameworks?
Agile methodologies empower the Team to create an evolving solution which means that the role of the Project Manager becomes that of the Leader rather than Manager. During this session we will discuss and evaluate what it takes from a competency and certification to be a success in the Agile workplace.
