Agile Is Killing Me! Product Camp Austin 2010Paul Brownell
Agile is killing me! - Managing your time when development goes Agile
When software engineering transforms to an Agile methodology, big changes are in store for Product Managers. The planning process becomes a regular occurrence instead of a once-a-year event. The requirements process morphs from lots of documentation up front to continuous conversations and progressive elaboration. All of these changes can wreak havoc on a Product Manager's schedule and can blur the lines of responsibility beyond recognition. The workload can increase more than 60%, especially if you have both Product Manager and Product Owner responsibilities.
In this session we will share successful techniques to adapt to Agile including: dealing with role conflict, adapting to global engineering teams, and organizational models. This will be presented in a Town Hall format, where the audience will also be invited to offer their best practices for each of the challenges discussed.
