About the Presentation

When the speaker first heard about Agile within project management circles nearly 20 years ago, it was deemed either intriguing or just a fad by most of his peers. However, Agile has proven itself to be transformational in the way that teams operate and has transformed the landscape for the way project management is done in many industries.

The Agile mindset has changed the way that we work with project teams, the way we plan our projects, the way we estimate, and the way that we work with stakeholders to understand project scope and timelines. Join the speaker for a real-world discussion on the way that Agile is reshaping the project management landscape.
