Meeting
Learning:
In organizations that utilize a Project Management Office, the
evolution and adoption of collaborative and iterative processes can sometimes
conflict with established practices. In addition there are often changes
in the way work is allocated and tracked vs. a traditional process. This
session will help illustrate some of the differences and changes and provide
some insights to what has worked in the past from a PMO perspective.
Meeting
Description:
Why do some PMOs resist Agile and
others embrace it? The answer to this question goes beyond individual
personalities and preferences and gets to the heart of the mission and vision
of a given PMO. This presentation will profile different “flavors” of
PMOs and discuss how each might perceive the both the opportunities and threats
that will arise from a large-scale transition to agile.
If your organization has a PMO, please encourage some of those
team members to join us for this meeting, regardless of where you feel your are
in your Agile journey. We want to hear from your teams about what
challenges they face and what impediments they see.
