What is Agile Programme Management

www.dsdm.org
DSDM Agile PgM Framework in context

www.dsdm.org
Philosophy
The agile programme management philosophy is that an agile
programme delivers what is required when it is required – no more
no less

www.dsdm.org
The Five Principles
1. Programme goals are clearly and continuously
aligned to business strategy
2. Benefits are realised incrementally and as early as
possible
3. Governance focusses on creating a coherent
capability
4. Decision-making powers are delegated to the lowest
possible level
5. Agile programmes are iterative and have the ability
to contain both agile and non-agile projects

The PMO Value - Emma-Ruth Arnaz-Pemberton | Project Challenge March 2018

Wellingtone

Wellingtone recently launched their brand new PMO Practitioner training course and are delighted that this has successfully been Accredited by the APM, the first of its type in the UK. Co-author of this course, Emma-Ruth Arnaz Pemberton, will present an important topic from the course; “The PMO Value”. Emma is one of the UK leaders in the PMO, she gives practical insight into how you can ensure your PMO adds value to your organisation.

This document discusses traditional vs agile project management and how New Zealand Post transitioned to an agile PMO. The traditional method separates strategy, project direction, management and delivery. Agile is iterative and incremental, focusing on how to deliver rather than prescribing what to deliver. The agile PMO aims for agility, governance and control through early engagement, strategic alignment to architecture roadmaps, and portfolio management to deliver features quicker at reduced cost and higher quality.

FuturePMO 2017 - Marisa Silva, Wellingtone - Maturing Your PMO Through its Te...

Wellingtone

The teenage years can be a tough time, whether you are parenting a child or trying to mature a PMO. In both cases, we find insecure and anxious creatures navigating their way through life, trying to make sense of the world and to assert their independence. Maturity is a journey and PMOs should not try to run before they know how to crawl. However, while there are some well-known organisational project management maturity models, such as CMMi® or P3M3®, there is no model specific to assist PMOs in progressing their maturity. With a thought-provoking approach, this workshop will introduce you to the brand new Wellingtone PMO Maturity Assessment Model, demystify conventional assumptions relating to PMO maturity, and provide you with tips and hints for transitioning your PMO from the moody level 2 to the uncharted land of level 3 and 4, where mature PMOs live.

Enabling a Step Change in Project Management Maturity...Use Your PMO

Wellingtone

Event: APM Yorkshire and North Lincolnshire Branch (YNL) Date: 3rd October 2017 Vince Hines, Managing Director at Wellingtone takes a practical look at the roadmap to enabling a step change in project management maturity. One of the four key components on this journey is the PMO; the engine to this change. He discusses his experiences as a Practitioner but also shares the findings from the State of Project Management Report. The 2017 report was published in April and is the largest piece of non-salary research in the UK. Published jointly by Wellingtone and the APM PMO SIG this report provides the clearest picture of PMOs in the UK.

The reality is that a paradigm shift is needed to enable the Agile PMO to deliver the correct support and provide an acceptable level of guidance for project managers in a collaborative and co-operative approach.

Introduction to Recipes for Agile Governance in the Enterprise (RAGE)

Cprime

Large enterprises that develop software cannot function without structure, but often develop structures that cripple productivity and impair responsiveness to customer needs. This Webinar introduces an approach to building effective structures by introducing the concept of Agile governance. Agile governance provides formalized practices for decision making (governance) which incorporate the principles of the Agile Manifesto and Lean Engineering. The result is a set of simple recipes for selecting, planning, organizing, and tracking work at all levels in the organization (the Portfolio, Program, and Project levels), which apply within or across Business Units. We also provide guidance on how to develop new recipes, when needed. This webinar introduces the basic concepts of Agile governance. We will look at some existing concepts (such as Scrum of Scrums and SAFe), and lay the foundations for subsequent webinars that address specific scenarios of common interest.

Scaling agile. Agile across the enterprise

Darren Wilmshurst

This document discusses scaling agile across large organizations. It introduces agile mindset, values, principles and practices. It also covers several frameworks for scaling agile such as Large Scale Scrum (LeSS), Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe), and Disciplined Agile Delivery (DAD). Adopting agile requires changes to organizational culture and giving autonomy and mastery to self-organizing teams. Scaling agile is not just about processes but transforming the mindset and empowering people.

If AI changes everything – do feelings still matter?

Association for Project Management

APM event hosted by the Midlands Network on 11 April 2024. Speaker: Carole Osterweil Data is power. AI changes everything. If the claims about both are true, how can we ensure we use data and AI well? And what does it mean for the very things which make us human - our feelings? In this workshop Carole will draw on material from her ground-breaking book, Neuroscience for Project Success: why people behave as they do to answer both questions. “We like to think our decision making is completely rational. However, once there's an element of uncertainty, conscious assessments are only part of the story. Two other inputs, both subconscious and driven by our innate need to survive, have a big impact. One, automatic reactions driven by cognitive biases, gets plenty of airtime. The other input, our raw visceral emotions might be scary to talk about and less understood - but that’s not a reason to pretend they don’t exist!” This interactive workshop will draw on material from Carole’s book, Neuroscience for Project Success: why people behave as they do, published by APM in 2022. You’ll come away with: a clear understanding of how the human brain works. a framework that: explains ‘why people behave as they do’. makes it easier to talk about feelings in a matter-of-fact way (so that they become part of your conscious data set) new insights into yourself and your projects in a world that’s often characterised by stress and disorder. Act on these insights and you’ll see the impact - on your teams and stakeholders, your decisions about how to use data and AI, and ultimately your project outcomes.

The silent project disruptor: Building AI solutions

Association for Project Management

Kai-Fu Lee predicted that AI would change the world more than anything in the history of humanity – even electricity. It would disrupt how we live and work, how we operate our businesses, the core products and services on offer and the way in which we build technology. However, in 2024 the impact of AI can no longer be discussed in future tense. With Microsoft copilot now publicly available, the change is already upon us. There is no consultation period or ‘unsubscribe’ button. Project management professionals are likely to be asked to manage AI projects - and we are expected to skilfully use AI in our daily work lives. While overwhelming, this is not the first time we’ve had to adapt. Sarah helps her audience sharpen their cutting-edge skills by answering: What do I need to know about AI right now? If I’m asked to work on an AI project, what techniques do I need to be successful? Where do I start my own learning journey to upskill and prepare? Sarah’s expertise in advanced agile and experience in highly regulated Finance environments give her a unique perspective into balancing governance with technical innovation. She uses her own experience building an AI solution in 2023 to share practical, widely applicable concepts in an “AI for project managers” 101 style session.
