It’s no longer enough for product managers to work only with other managers. Many individuals will be working on projects as team members, stakeholders and customers. Getting to know them will continue to increase in importance.
Question: I have a degree in project management and my PMP certification. Now that agile seems to be the new technique for the future, will I need to give up all I have learned and start over? It seems unrealistic that a traditional approach to projects that has lasted so long would suddenly be abandoned. Why is there this new rush to use agile for finishing projects successfully? I’d hate to be obsolete overnight.

"In Italy for thirty years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder, bloodshed - but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love, 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock." - Orson Welles, The Third Man |
