The Effect of Project Budgeting on Agile Transformations We've all participated in annual budget planning sessions that take weeks to complete, only to find the funding has been cut in half. We've also had to wait for months while decisions are delayed, causing us to delay work and hiring, but the deadlines don't move! And through all this, how do we keep our teams busy and continuously delivering valuable product? This session will discuss challenges with traditional project funding models, present the foundational elements needed for a successful Agile transformation, and discuss how to coach an organization through the transition. This and other IIL Learning in Minutes presentations qualify for PDUs. Some titles, such as Agile-related topics may qualify for other continuing education credits such as SEUs, or CEUs. Each professional development activity yields one PDU for one hour spent engaged in the activity. Some limitations apply and can be found in the Ways to Earn PDUs section that discusses PDU activities and associated policies. Fractions of PDUs may also be reported. The smallest increment of a PDU that can be reported is 0.25. This means that if you spent 15 minutes participating in a qualifying PDU activity, you may report 0.25 PDU. If you spend 30 minutes in a qualifying PDU activity, you may report 0.50 PDU.
