Agile CoP: How do Project Managers fit into Agile?

(Zoom meeting info below.)

Abstract:

How the role of project management fits into an Agile Culture

 

Learning Objectives:

• What does it mean to work in an Agile way
• How is the PMBOK incorporating Agile with Project Management
• What is the Agile team structure and roles
• How do the frameworks help guide us in these setups
• How does the Project Manager fit into this dynamic
• What can a PM do to integrate with Agile Teams and help projects succeed

 As organizations begin working in more agile ways, it is fairly common for some role confusion to creep into the system. Just because our ways of working shift, it does not mean people are replaced or rendered obsolete. There is also a great deal of conflation and confusion around agility and various workflow frameworks (e.g. Scrum and Kanban).

In this session we will explore what it means to work in an Agile way (Hint: It’s more than a process play). We will also address team structures, shifting roles and role confusion, and how various frameworks help teams become Agile. Participants will leave the session with an understanding of what it means to work in an Agile way and how project management fits into these systems. Project Managers do have a seat at the table and, more importantly, they play a key role in the pursuit of business agility.
