DESCRIPTION:This is a full day\, experiential introduction that focuses p
 rimarily on the project management elements of Agile. It's ideal for any
 one who is going to be or wants to be invovled in an agile project: deve
 lopers\, product people\, managers\, and of course\, project managers.&#
 13\;\n&#13\;\nCourse Description:&#13\;\n&#13\;\nOn a software project\,
  uncertainty is certain. The customer will change their mind\, a 'must h
 ave' feature will be discovered\, deadlines will move\, or an unexpected
  competitive threat will need to be countered. The agile approach to pro
 ject management allows the team to easily adjust to these changing condi
 tions in order to produce the most valuable software possible.&#13\;\n&#
 13\;\nThis experiential workshop teaches the fundamentals of agile proje
 ct management\, and is recommended for everyone who will be involved in 
 an agile project. We will explore the key roles\, responsibilities\, int
 eractions\, and processes that make a successful agile project happen.&#
 13\;\n&#13\;\nParticipants will learn:&#13\;\n&#13\;\n* Estimation&#13\;
 \n* Release planning&#13\;\n* Prioritization&#13\;\n* The rhythm of iter
 ative development and delivery&#13\;\n* The flow of deliverables&#13\;\n
 * Roles and responsibilities&#13\;\n* Communication on an agile team&#13
 \;\n* Empirical process control&#13\;\n* Agile metrics&#13\;\n* Simple t
 ools for managing agile projects&#13\;\n&#13\;\nThe workshop focuses on 
 practical 'how to' skill development\, while providing enough theory so 
 that participants will understand why the techniques work. Interactive e
 xercises allow participants to learn by doing. Class notes\, suggestions
  for further reading\, and free follow-on consulting are all included to
  ensure that the workshop's lessons can be effectively applied back in t
 he 'real world'.&#13\;\n&#13\;\nBTW: We want $550 for the privilege of h
 earing us speak.&#13\;\n\n\nTags: agile\, pm\, pmi\, project management\
