Today many professionals are obtaining Scrum training and certification to help lead their companies to an agile development lifecycle. Although Scrum training is a good start, companies still need to create a process that thrives within the realities of a given business environment. Most companies cannot apply a generic Scrum template and become agile over night.

In this presentation, Greg Smith will walk you through a process for creating an agile lifecycle that works for your given situation. You will learn how to assess your ability to become agile, what practices to keep in your existing process, and how to test an agile lifecycle with minimal risk to your company. In addition, Greg will discuss how to obtain agile buy-in from executives, managers, and project teams. Most importantly, you will learn how to create a software development process that supports the two most important business objectives: increasing revenue and lowering costs.

Lastly, you will learn how common agile practices really are, and how your life will change as a Project Manager when your team moves to a more agile process.

Learn a practical approach for adding Agile skills to your Project Manager toolbox.
