Measurement and Governance for Agile Leaders - Why it's not Working and What it Does To achieve true business agility. leaders must not only grow and support self-reliant. cross-functional. self-organizing teams; they must also change the way their organizations fund and oversee their agile initiatives. They must believe in feedback and allow that feedback to work. However. old measures like 'on time' and 'within budget' are not useful when markets and customers are constantly changing. potentially resulting in delivering great solutions to problems that no longer exist. 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.
