Sixth Sense Agile Fundamentals
A PMI Certified Training Course by Roeder Consulting
“Can one develop a sixth-sense for agility?”
The very first value outline in the Agile Manifesto is the preference of “Individuals and interactions over processes and tools”. What this entails is that Agile at heart is about people and their interactions. But unlike processes and tools which are straight forward and unambiguous, people and their interactions often times are not. Agile requires not only knowing the fundamental tools and techniques, but also how to get individuals to interact with them effectively. This requires developing core technical knowledge and skills, applying business acumen and most importantly, acquiring a “sixth-sense” for how to manage and lead people to an end goal. We call it A Sixth Sense for Project Management®. This holistic approach used in conjunction with Agile will allow you to truly deliver superior results!
Agile Project Management is an iterative method for defining requirements for development projects in a highly flexible and interactive manner. Project managers are constantly under pressure to deliver results faster and there are limitations on typical waterfall approaches. Agile is an iterative (short development cycle) approach which constantly engages the customer in requirements definition and testing. Agile allows for smaller / quicker deliverables. Agile concepts in whole or in part are an essential skill today’s project managers should have.
This program focuses on providing an understanding of Agile project management, team dynamics, requirements gathering, estimating, executing / reporting and adopting Agile into your company operations. Going beyond the generic descriptions of Agile within project management, this program uses many exercises to reinforce the concepts and techniques, as well as an integration of A Sixth Sense for Project Management® throughout.
NO other training company provides such depth and breath for both the hard and soft skills necessary to thrive in this fast paced world!
