The Great Escape:
Troubled Project Recovery Using Agile Project Management
|
Description We've all heard the stories of projects that are in trouble due to constantly-changing requirements ("scope creep") and the devastating impact that this has on project plans and teams. How do we avoid getting caught in "design churn?" Other projects get in trouble because they lack effective sponsorship and communication with stakeholders. How do we deal with long lists of requirements raised by these stakeholders in teh face of short timelines and small budgets? Agile project management is a field thatrged over the past decade to deal with these situations. While there are many different agile management methods, they all share some common characteristics and techniques that are perfect for turning around many troubled projects. Participants in this session will learn these common characteristics and techniques and how they can be applied to recovering (or avoiding) troubled projects. |
