“In today’s economy, companies’ error margins are incredibly narrow,” says twenty-year industry veteran and award-winning presenter Kevin Aguanno. “But technology changes so fast these days, most project plans are obsolete before the ink is dry. Organizations need ways to keep up with today’s intense, inexorable change without compromising their P&L.” Agile’s popularity lies in its adaptable, high value planning. “It’s not realistic to think we have all the answers when we first undertake a project,” Aguanno continues, “but budgets are finite. Agile gives teams the flexibility they need for their project to quickly change direction, but the structure they need to stay focused on what’s important.” From April 23-25, near the Pearson airport in Toronto, Mr. Aguanno will lead an intensive, three-day workshop. Participants will learn the basic techniques of Agile Project Management including: • How these techniques differ from traditional methods, • What value each technique can bring to a project, and • How to introduce the techniques to project teams. Participants will learn what is covered in a typical Scrum Master course plus a lot more: • Where Agile Fits Into the Evolution of Systems Development Lifecycles (SDLCs) • The History of Agile Project Management • The Agile Philosophy • Agile Team and Project Characteristics • The Scrum Method • Lean Development Overview • Feature- • Extreme Programming Overview • Agile Requirements Management • Agile Modeling • Agile Model-Driven Development • Agile Documentation • Agile Planning and Estimating • Agile Change Management • Negotiating with Stakeholders • Metrics and Project Control • Test-Driven Development Most importantly, participants will learn why recent studies show that for some types of projects, Agile Project Management reduces the risk of late project delivery or cost overruns. In today’s highly competitive, rapidly evolving business climate, this is a workshop you don’t want to miss!
