The biggest challenge to advancement we see, from startups to Fortune 100 companies, is management being locked in a Waterfall mindset, assuming that agility only applies to developers. In order to achieve the radical improvements in productivity possilbe with Scrum, the management must change their strategy, goals, and incentive programs. This is the path to business agility.

The Mission-Critical Project Manager - Why Our PMs Need (more) Critical Thinking and Problem-Solving Skills Many project managers have achieved mastery of the "tools of the project management trade": they are great planners, effective managers of their project teams, heroic firefighters - in short, they are competent in delivering projects. However, the number of people who can identify a problem, articulate a strategy to address it, *and* translate that strategy into reality is very limited in most organizations. Today, the ability to deal with ambiguity and complexity, acknowledge and solve new problems, and deal with a high degree of uncertainty is in high demand. For such challenges there is little to be found in the conventional 'PM Toolbox.' Adding creative and critical thinking skills is a rewarding opportunity and can make the difference between being just another PM or a truly strategic asset.

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.

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.
