The Role of an Agile PM within a Digital Transformation Program Historically, we have associated project managers with traditional delivery efforts, so is the term 'Agile Project Manager' an oxymoron? Do we need Agile PMs within our organization? If yes, what does an Agile Project Manager do within a digital transformation initiative? Agile is no longer a development framework or methodology used solely by software teams; ever since the pandemic, more organizations are using Agile principles in their digital transformation efforts. How an Agile PM becomes critical to align team members to deliver on digital transformation goals Ways an Agile PM demonstrates servant leadership to build a self-organized and self-sufficient delivery team Mental model differences to embrace agility in the project manager role Success traits needed to serve as an effective Agile project manager
