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 \;\nCourse Description: \;\n \;\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. \;\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 \;\nParticipants will learn: \;\n \;\n* Estimation \; \n* Release planning \;\n* Prioritization \;\n* The rhythm of iter ative development and delivery \;\n* The flow of deliverables \;\n * Roles and responsibilities \;\n* Communication on an agile team \;\n* Empirical process control \;\n* Agile metrics \;\n* Simple t ools for managing agile projects \;\n \;\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'. \;\n \;\nBTW: We want $550 for the privilege of h earing us speak. \;\n\n\nTags: agile\, pm\, pmi\, project management\ n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250456939 URL:http://www.regonline.com/APMPortland0504 SUMMARY:Agile Project Management Workshop with Chris Sims LOCATION:McMenamins Kennedy School: 5736 N.E. 33rd Ave.\, Portland OR 972 11 US SEQUENCE:0 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20140102T181559Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20140114T190000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20140114T180000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20140102T181559Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20140102T181559Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250465423 DESCRIPTION:Who: \;\nPDX Digital PM is Portland's inaugural monthly m eetup for Digital PMs and producers.

Come ready to share w hat you’re seeing on your end too — the best part will be comparing note s. \;\n \;\nYou don’t need to be a PM to get something out of this . It’s a good fit if you’re curious about any of the following: \;\n• What PMs and quality folks have in common (and where they still talk pa st each other) \;\n• How AI is actually landing in delivery teams — b eyond the hype \;\n• Which PM habits quietly prevent quality problems before they start \;\n• Continuing the conversations from PMI Portla nd 2026 \;\n \;\nThis will be a hybrid meetup\, so mingle in perso n or tune in online.
