Agile Project Management

Duration: 4 half-days 14 hours (4 x 8:30 am to 12 pm) 
 
Target audience:

• Project coordinators and managers 
• Delivery Managers
• Project controllers (PCO) or project office members 
• Team leaders, leads and managers 

Prerequisite:

• Knowledge and understanding of project management.
• No Agile prerequisites.

Context:

Not only are Project Management and Agile compatible, they are necessary for the survival of our organizations in a volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous world.

How do we move from mastering tools and processes to continuous improvement? From resource management to collaboration? From long-term planning to iterative delivery with learning? From control to emergence?  
These are the questions we will answer together to help you better understand your role and influence your organization.

Objectives:

• Reconcile traditional project management with the Agile mindset
• Become familiar with the most common Agile approaches, methodologies and frameworks
• Become aware of the possible links with your professional life
• And walk away with actionable takeaways for your organization.

What you will learn:

Each session offers experience and knowledge sharing, hands-on activities, references and tools to go further, and time to reflect on the application of the learnings in your professional environment. 

• Session #1 : Accompanying at the right level - the dual reality of organizations 
• Session #2 : From project management to product management
• Session #3 : Planning, strategy and metrics revisited
• Session #4 : From Management to Collaboration, Putting People at the Center 
   

Public or private:
The intention of the training is definitely to go beyond the Agile theory to address the real issues and questions of the participants. 

• In public mode, it is enriched by the sharing of experiences of participants from different organizations. 
• In private mode, it gives the opportunity to develop a common understanding and to exchange with your collaborators on the culture of your organization and the systems in place, to better understand them and make them evolve.
