The Agile Enterprise: The Role of the PMO in Agile Transformations

by Stelian Roman

April 05, 2019 | 56:20 | Views: 5,393 | PDUs: 1.00 | Rating: 4.34 / 5

Scaling Agile practices beyond software development teams and IT departments is a growing trend, and the Agile Enterprise is a reality rather than a goal. However, the transition from planned approach to Agile is a painful change, and PMO can provide support for Agile rather than be perceived as an archaic team supporting “waterfall”.

This webinar is a summary of the presenter’s experience in organisations transitioning to Agile.
