Join BigVisible and our transformation coaches Brian Bozzuto and Bob Fischer at this agile-focused PMI Mass Bay Chapter meeting on January 19, 2012 from 5:00 – 8:30pm.
Brian Bozzuto, principal Agile Coach at BigVisible
In Brian’s session, Claiming Agile for Project Managers, attendees will learn and discuss the effects of increasing agile principles and practices within numerous organizations, on project managers who are finding themselves trying to align the realities of corporate budgets and schedules with the innovative and adaptive practices of agile projects. While some may argue that project managers are not necessary – or even counter productive – in agile projects, this session will explore the real value they can offer to these projects.
The session will cover:
- The critical role project managers can play in helping agile projects succeed
- Growing popularity of agile within the PMI including agile certifications such as the Agile Certified Practitioner (ACP) and the Agile Community of Practice
- The impact of agility on organizations as they embrace agile practices across the enterprise
Bob Fischer, Agile trainer, coach, facilitator, and change agent at BigVisible
In the 2nd session, Bob Fischer will be covering the topic, How Can Managers Support a Move Towards Agility?. In this discussion, he’ll be discussing how companies often choose to adopt agile methods such as Scrum, XP, Lean, or Kanban because they want to respond more effectively to the rapidly changing circumstances in today’s turbulent marketplace. As teams self-organize, managers frequently find themselves in a position where they are no longer playing the same hands on role they did. In this session attendees will learn how managers can become an integral part of and agile transformation and how adequate support can make the transition more rapid and more effective.
This presentation will cover:
- The role of a manager in an agile organization
- The role of a transition team supporting the transition to agile
- Bring your questions. This will be an interactive session where you’ll get the chance to address your specific concerns.
