Friday: 10:00 AM – 11:30 AM – Eric Bloom
Project management and Business Analysis, more than ever, comes in many shapes and styles. Traditional projects are generally managed top-down, most often using a Waterfall methodology. On the other end of the spectrum, Agile based projects are led by a Scrum Master using servant leadership principles. In addition to leadership differences, these two methodologies dramatically differ on virtually all other project processes, artifacts, and concepts. WAgile style projects are all those activities containing attributes of both.
In this presentation you will:
- Deepen your knowledge and insights on the benefits and challenges of a blended Waterfall/Agile environment
- Learn which specific leadership, business and interpersonal communication skills maximize the effectiveness of Project Managers, Scrum Master, Business, Analysts, Product Owners, and other project players
