The Agile Enterprise: Agile Project Manager - Evolution or Regression?

  Agile   Career Development  

Agile found its way into project delivery with many certifications trying to define various Agile project roles. Most Agile frameworks, such as Scrum, Crystal, and XP, were conceived by developers for a small team of software developers, and the Project Manager role is usually omitted. Unlike some specialized Agile Project Manager certifications,  PMI's Project Management Professional (PMP)® remains the benchmark for the Project Manager role with an increased focus on Agile and Hybrid practices but without compromising the predictive knowledge required to manage projects that can't or won't use Agile practices.

This webinar is a comparative analysis of the Scrum Master, seen in some organizations as a replacement of the Project Manager role; various flavors of the ‘Certified Agile Project Manager’; and the standard Project Manager role.

The Agile Enterprise webinar series explores the impact of Agility on Project Management knowledge areas at the Enterprise Level. Attendees will learn how traditional Project Management practices can be adapted to support Agility at the Enterprise level, what the benefits of Agile adoption are, and how the benefits can be quantified.
