Unleash Your Project Meeting Potential Project managers spend a significant amount of time leading meetings but rarely leverage these valuable opportunities to their full potential. Instead, meetings provide the greatest source of anxiety, frustration and stress.

Kanban: Sustainability for Your Teams, Agility for Your Business Credibility is not granted with a job title. Authority, maybe, but credibility must be earned. Leaders are losing credibility in Agile adoptions. They seek training and education for teams asking them to use Scrum or another Agile framework. The very same leaders then announce programs, policies or structures that directly contradict Agile and Scrum values and principles. This can hinder leadership's credibility and subsequently, their organization's Agile adoption. In this session, we explore some of these common leadership mistakes and how they can be avoided for greater success with Agile and Scrum.
