Get the Most from Agile and Scrum When Working on Projects! Most of what is written about Scrum and Agile focusses on a context where an existing product is evolving. But what about developing new products from scratch? ...and what about difficult situations where there are many 'moving parts' that need to be synchronized?There are times when the basics of agile, and particularly Scrum, are not enough on their own to ensure the successful delivery of a complicated piece of work such as when dealing with a project.By combining PRINCE2® with agile, you can get all of the benefits of agile and Scrum, whilst at the same time harnessing the control and governance of one of the world's most well-known project management frameworks.Why not take a look at this presentation? You may be surprised by the result! 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.
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 Role of Project Managers in an Agile Business Organizations of all types are adopting agile methods to help manage complex work and improve project delivery.

How do I make agile methods work in my context? This and other IIL Learning in Minutes presentations qualify for PDUs.

PMOs have evolved significantly in recent years, but recent challenges on a global scale have reinvented them. A new era of value creation has begun for PMOs - the truth is that doing a technically perfect job is no longer enough for a PMO to survive and thrive.

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.

Scaling Agile Metrics - Tracking Metrics That Matter! Scaling Agile Metrics - Tracking Metrics That Matter! It seems like every leader is asking for the big 'M' word now, but what metrics really should matter to them? Whether you're new to Agile or scaling Agile, you're probably thinking of how you will actually measure the health of the overall Agile adoption. Through this session we'll take a deeper dive into both the Qualitative and Quantitative metrics that should be tracked at the Team, Program, Product and Portfolio levels. We'll explore how some of these can provide predictive leading indicators (so you can catch problems before they happen) and some are lagging indicators (reflecting on what has already happened).
