This Interview with Dave Cornelius was recorded at the PMI Global Congress
2014 in Phoenix, Arizona.
The project manager is a highly skilled knowledge worker who has received
rigorous training and knowledge in the process of achieving a globally
recognized certification. At the same time, in the lean and agile world, the
project manager does not have an official role. The project manager’s role is
distributed between the agile team members.
However, the knowledge and skills obtained through certification is transferable
in the lean and agile organization. In a competitive business climate, all
available brainpower must be present on deck to enable the organization to
achieve enterprise agility and scale to meet customer, compliance, financial
markets, internal opportunities, and competitive demands.

Dave Cornelius' paper, presentation and our interview evaluate the
project manager role using the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe)
practice and centers on PM participation in the lean and agile
transformation as a strategic, leading, or lagging PM.
