PMBOK vs. Agile: Sifting Reality From Myth
.

Presenter:
Jesse Fewell.

Description:
With the increased success of Agile processes and the growth of PMI, project teams are faced with a choice: Use PMI's collected body of project management practices or use Agile. We are told that PMI practioners mandate a waterfall command-and-control approach, and that Agile is the process-free alternative. But a quick look side-by-side comparison reveals a much more complex situation. What do we make of facilitative servant-minded PMPs? Could Agilists gain value from PMI materials? What is the official position of PMI towards Agile?

Who Should Attend?

• IT Directors. Project Managers,
• Tech Leads,
• PMPs,
• Scrummasters,
• Agilistas, and
• Anyone interested to learn about the new PMI Agile SIG.
