How to Estimate Agile Project Budget Using Burn Up Do we really know how much an Agile project costs? In this session, attendees will learn how to estimate budget based on milestones in a project using a combination of release planning and burn up charts. 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.
Improve Your Business Agility with Flawless Execution Business Agility in conjunction with a commitment to Innovation is a game-changing reality in our world. Individuals who can create ideas and act on them to build new technologies and products are emerging as the new leaders in 21st Century society.

The Agile PMO: Value-Driven Agile Project Management Conclusive research findings show that approximately 50% of PMOs are disbanded in two years. Yet, we repeat the same mistakes in our PMO implementations wasting money, resources and most important wasting time. In this presentation we focus on the value driven PMO as an integrator, enabler, differentiator, and change agent in business, development and the organization in general. We analyze the essential model for PMO value enablement which answers: • What is the strategic role of the value driven PMO in business • How to ensure effective streamlined delivery • How to effectively select and prioritize opportunities • How to manage resource allocation Key take away: a PMO must deliver value to the organization constantly. Value isn't templates, tools and processes. Rather, it is the ability to finish the right projects faster! This and other IIL Learning in Minutes presentations qualify for PDUs.

When is Your Agile Transformation Done? After over a decade of agile transformations. many organizations have several years of agile experience of agile are naturally looking for signs that the change is complete. Attention turns to the level of skill or maturity an organization needs in order to declare the transformation a success. As a result. models of agile maturity have emerged that promise to somehow measure how agile you are.The good news is that agile. by definition. should be iteratively delivering value from the moment a transformation starts. Looking back. your ability to deliver has already changed immeasurably. You are already faster. more focused. and delivering a product with higher quality. The bad news is that you have only just started your journey. Change itself has changed. as Gary Hamel said. What looks mature today will be 'bare essentials' tomorrow.Using the concept of Wardley Maps. we will talk about what agile maturity looks like today. and where agile maturity will go in the future. We will learn how iterative value delivery is the price to pay to move along the experience curve. The more frequently you deliver value. the faster you move along the experience curve. By introducing a model of increasing agility. you will be able to map out the path of your transformation. filling in any gaps that you may have and beginning to understand what direction your transformation may take you in the future. What you will Learn Key Takeaways: Differentiate between maturity models and development models. and apply the right model in the right situation Learn how to apply Wardley Mapping to your agile transformation strategy

Building Hyper Performance Scrum Teams: Using Crew Resource Management Techniques from Aviation Have you ever been part of an organization or team where leaders failed to accept input from junior team members and a project or initiative failed? Now imagine being part of a team flying an aircraft where either failing to share information or not acting on critical information in a decisive manner can cause the aircraft you're in to crash. In the Flight Decks of today's aircraft, open communication and the ability to respectfully question authority are essential cognitive and interpersonal skills every crew member must learn so as a team they can mitigate the unforgiving risks inherent in their complex environment. Thirty years ago flight deck culture was entrenched in hierarchical command and control management. This is very similar to the legacy of waterfall command and control leadership styles that is impeding agile transformations around the globe.
