I normally teach Introduction to Agile and Scrum over a 2 day session to teams. Here is a highly condensed 2-hour version of it that covers agile thinking and introduces scrum as a framework without getting into details.
I use it as a course material for teaching to teams or groups looking to get a perspective on "why" as opposed to "how" aspect of agile.
Scrum Master & Agile Project Manager: A Tale of Two RolesTommy Norman
Many people equate the role of Scrum Master to that of a traditional Project Manager, but there are both subtle and significant differences between them. So what is the difference and why do we care?
This presentation will explore the differences between these two roles and the underlying implications to your company’s Agile adoption. We will discuss the concept of little “a” agile (mostly iterative development and some Agile-like mechanics) versus big “A” Agile (more of a true shift in culture and focus on teams/value) and when we would choose one or the other.
So if you are confused about what a Scrum Master does, what the heck an Agile PM is, or are sick and tired of your team telling you that you’re not adopting Agile correctly, this presentation is or you!

The Role of Project Manager in Modern Agile ProjectsVersionOne
Many groups adopting an agile development approach fail in ways that can be traced back to the missing project manager role. In other words, they didn't understand what good project managers do in the first place. In this webinar, Dr. Cockburn starts from ten critical project success factors, relates those to PMI project phases and to the overall value and purpose of a project manager.

What have you heard about Agile? Trying to decide if Scrum or Kanban is a better approach for your particular team? Are you asking yourself if functions outside of Application Development, such as Marketing, Ux Design, Infrastructure, benefit from Agile techniques? Do you want to know some basic, but powerful, concepts to approaching your release cycle? Do you have complex dependencies or fit in a non-agile PMO environment but want to be agile?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, join us for a webinar walking through these key concepts:
· Agile is not just a framework for software development, it is a way of thinking that can span the business
· Agile gives a more clearly understood measure of progress than traditional Status Reports or Project Plans
· Agile can be done within structured, well-defined PMO processes
· Agile improves the ability to manage Customer and Stakeholder Expectations
We will also discuss some high-level similarities and differences between Scrum and Kanban along with recommendations to incorporate both into your overall strategy, even when your enterprise-at-large needs to continue some projects using a traditional plan-driven approach.
The Agile Method and AGILE ISD; how to use each to improve your training programChristopher King
The term "agile" is being used readily to express the desire organizations have to be responsive and flexible to change in their organization. The Agile development method is designed to quickly and efficiently produce software products. Recently its application has expanded to other areas including training products. AGILE ISD is a new way of thinking about education where performance is the metric that drives the development and delivery decisions in an organization’s training program. It recognizes the long tail of learning and the five moments of learning need. AGILE ISD provides strategies for creating a culture of learning at your organization.
While these two agile methods are for different purposes, they are not mutually exclusive. This session will explain how your organization can use both methods to your advantage and success. We clarify some of the different uses of the term agile within the learning and development community. In this session we will cover:
• Agile (software) movement - its history, its main tenets, different types of agile frameworks and how to incorporated into the ADDIE training methodology
• AGILE ISD – is a methodology developed by Dr. Conrad Gottfredson that aims to supplement ADDIE by expanding its scope to include informal learning design. We cover its history, its main tenants, principles of agile education, and incorporating AGILE ISD into the ADDIE training methodology
• How the two approaches can both be successfully applied in your L&D organization

What exactly is the role of a project manager? There are lot of responsibilities that a project manager has to fulfill. Here is a high level overview of the expectations from the project manager.
Across the world today software development in all shapes and sizes is growing exponentially. There is a software revolution and without a doubt it is an exciting world to be part of. The future is literally happening before our very eyes and never before have we as project managers needed to be on our toes to ensure that we keep pace with this technology race.
The introduction of a project management framework will provide a structured and managed approach for projects within your company.
With the right framework in place it will allow projects of all sizes and priority to be planned effectively. This ensures that at all times the cost of the project is managed while delivering quality and the right level of performance and control across project management.

There is a tsunami of web development happening daily. This could range from large enterprise web platforms to a small start-up web page. And what an opportunity for your business to get involved with an exciting and fast changing environment. More and more companies will focus on their web presence and who better to bring it to life than a modern and responsive website with new technology and a faster way to reach a huge audience out in the world wide web
Grab these opportunities they are only going to get better and better and the true joy of this is that these are short to market projects so you will definitely see your hard work produce results. This is a great place to be
With these odds vying against project managers it is becoming more and more necessary that rather than cancel a project to look at a way that the project can be turned around and show some form of economic viability for the project and the company as a whole.
With this change in paradigm it will require some quick thinking both within the process of how the project is being managed and getting the buy in from both your project team and the stakeholders
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.
This will result in the ability to work with the project and business teams to fast track projects through to delivery while ensuring that the components of the triple constraints evolves into a managed agile enterprise project and programme environment.
At this time of the year it becomes important to understand how your projects are doing. Doing a health check will give you a great and instant view on what is going right and what needs to be improved and more importantly is the project still a viable option and will bring in the benefits
Sometimes we take life too seriously I know I am guilty of this so I thought I would put together a presentation to make you realise that life is not as serious as we think sometimes
In a world that faces marketing and technical challenges it is very important that project management and business work together to deliver the correct solution at the correct time.
The pace of doing business is increasing rapidly with the surge of digital technology touching every aspect of the commercial world
As project management becomes more specialised and business driven using the right project manager at the right time will deliver strategic solutions effectively meeting quality, business and revenue targets.
There are many challenges that are faced by the business world today on how to manage your business goals and strategies in a market that is both dynamic and moves very quickly. Within both the technology and business sectors change is constant and the question that one asks is how do you manage this effectively. This presentation shows how a digital project may be managed
I have used this presentation to help small companies get an understanding how to setup a strategy that is user friendly and can apply to their project model

2. Project management is a growing field used
increasingly by businesses of all sizes to deal
with business transformation. As entrepreneurs
and company executives deal with the daily
responsibilities of managing an organization
they realise the importance of using
professional and skilled project managers to
oversee projects from conception to
completion.
The role of project management and business
are equally dependent on each other in a world
that demands constant change and
transformation for products and services that
will add value and meet the technical and
market trends that make up the face of
business today.
Successful project managers will need to keep
pace with the technology trends realising that
the rate of change will only increase
The project managers who embrace the
changes, adapt to new approaches, and are
willing to take risks will reap the benefits of
success.

3. The project manager of today will take on
a wider function over and above the
management of a project as they become
more involved in the day to day running of
the business that will cover strategy,
marketing, customer management and
business as usual operations.
Aligning project delivery to the key
functions of a business will provide an
optimal and quality delivery of the agreed
product or service.
Having a good relationship with the
functional managers across the business
leads to a committed buy-in and synergy
to deliver fast to market solutions and
products in line with the agreed cost,
scope, time and quality baselines.

4. Initiating Planning

and Control
Closing
To assist the project manager in the planning
and controlling of a project throughout the
project life cycle two professional project
management bodies have defined project
management process groups.
These two bodies are the Project Management
Institute, producing the PMBok Knowledge
Areas and the Association of Project
Management producing Prince2 providing a
structure known as Projects in a Controlled
Environment.
Although there are some variations on the
process groups for Prince2 and PMI, today most
project managers will incorporate both the
Prince2 and PMI best practices into a project
framework known as a blended approach.
This also assists in moving these processes into
an agile delivery approach.

5. Project Initiation kicks off the project and forms
the basis for the business case which is
produced to capture and record information
needed to correctly direct and manage the
project. This phase addresses the following
fundamental aspects of the project:
• What is the project aiming to achieve?
• What benefits and return on investment
will the product produce?
• What skills and suppliers are needed to
produce the agreed solution?
• What is the cost, scope, schedule and
quality requirements
• What is the budget?
The answer to these questions should be put
into a comprehensive business case that will
track the end to end project.
• Business Case
• Project Kick Off Presentation
• Kick Off Minutes
Checklist
• Finalise and obtain approval for the business case
• Prepare the project kick-off presentation
• Present to the business and project team
• Minute outcomes and note actions
• Register the project with either the PMO (if relevant)
or financial management
• Get sign off on the project budget and baseline
• Setup project governance and folder structure
• Move the project into a Go status.

phase however most of the
information can be added into the

6. Project Planning defines the parameters of the
project and outlines the amount of detail that
will track the project throughout the project
lifecycle. The project manager will look at both
Prince2 and PMBok processes to include what
is believed to be the correct level of governance
and best practice that meets the complexity of
the project.
A project plan will be setup to manage the
scope, cost and schedule and dependencies and
resources aligned and agreed. This will lead to
the first baseline plan as the starting point for
the project as well as identify how and when
external suppliers will be required.
Supporting documentation for the project will
be defined and the overall project approach
and framework agreed with the team.
Checklist
What is Project Planning?
• Finalise and baseline the project plan
• Finalise the project framework and approach
• Finalise all agreed documentation
• Finalise any supplier contracts and deliverables
this could also include project staff.
• Finalise the project organogram and roles and
responsibilities

7. Project Execution and Control is the longest
phase in the project and this is where the
project manager will ensure that the agreed
plan incorporating cost, schedule, time and
quality is being rolled out in line with the
agreed baseline
Strict control will also be conducted to manage
issues and risks as well as any unexpected
changes to the project that will require a
change management log to be updated on the
required changes and the impact into the
project.
Ongoing meetings reporting back on status will
be performed during this phase where
decisions, actions and concerns are noted and
tracked.
Checklist
What is Project Execution
and Control?
• Track and manage the baseline project plan
• Control change requests and exceptions
• Status Meetings and Steercoms confirmed
• Track and control issues and risks and update

8. Project Closing takes place once the full
project plan outlining all of the activities has
been successfully completed and shows a 100%
status.
During this phase the project manager should
proceed to finalising all administrative
procedures and releasing both the internal and
external resources. It is also beneficial to
update the lessons learnt log that can be used
as a benchmark going forward.
A project close out report will need to be
compiled and handed over to the project
sponsor or other allocated representatives .
Release management or production will be part
of the close out phase as this project will be
handed over to them to manage as a live
product or service.
Checklist
What is Project Closing?
• Ensure that all project tasks and activities have a
100% completion status
• Do close out report for the project sponsor and
nominated stakeholders
• Hold final review session with project team
• Update lessons learnt log and store to project

9. Supporting the project processes are the day to
day responsibilities that a project manager will
setup in order to ensure that all of the activities
that are required to be carried out by the
project team are clearly defined, and set out in
both the project plan as a task and within the
project resources plan as the responsibilities to
be conducted by the individual team members.
A process known as the Responsibility Matrix
will provide a clear structure on who owns and
drives the responsibility and it is recommended
that this is outlined and agreed by the team.
Once this has been completed the final step will
be to setup the project organogram outlining
the key roles and the allocated team members

10. More and more today project managers are
expected to show a level of competency
associated with skills that will result in the
ability to manage a project with the correct
level of performance and leadership.
These are normally referred to as the ‘soft skills’
which can be broken down into two key areas:
Knowledge – What the project manager brings
to a project through their knowledge and
understanding
Skills/Behaviours – What project managers are
able to demonstrate in their ability to manage
projects
Developing skills and competencies comes with
experience with each and every project that is
delivered and will allow a project manager to
continue to grow and improve both as a leader
and a manager.

Stakeholder Management
One of the important functions that a project
manager will conduct is to identify the
stakeholders that have a direct impact into the
project.
Putting together a Stakeholder Management
Plan will give the project manager the
appropriate tools to ensure the best way
forward to manage and communicate with all of
the stakeholders at the right time and in the
right way.
One of the key benefits of setting up the
stakeholder matrix and the stakeholder
management plan is that there is absolute
clarity around the stakeholders role and
responsibility throughout the project that will
help to reduce conflict between the project
management team and the stakeholders.

Performing alongside the project manager is the project
team who will work with the project manager to deliver
the identified business case as well as the baselined
project plans.
In the onset of the project the project manager will
define how the project team structure is to be setup
and this is largely dependent on what the current
functional business structure is. This can range from a
strong project matrix to a weak project matrix however
most companies that are involved in project
management work off a balanced project matrix which
allow the teams members to return to their business
units at the end of a project.
Where additional skills are required and not available
in-house requests for proposals will be sent to suppliers
to provide both costs and resources
Overall the project manager is responsible to ensure
that the project team is the right team with the right
focus and brings into the project the required attributes
and qualities to ensure that the project is delivered
successfully
The Project Team
13. Risk Management
As project managers implementing the process
of risk management is designed to reduce or
eliminate the risk of certain kinds of events
happening or having an impact on the business.
Exercising the project constraints of time,
scope, cost and quality and identifying the
perceived risks leads into a pragmatic approach
to analyse risks for the project.
During the project planning phase risk
management workshops should be setup with
the stakeholders as well as the project team
and stakeholders to allow them to provide
feedback and what they believe is the best way
to manage and mitigate the risks when and if
the risk results in an issue being raised.
One of the accepted practices for reporting
back on risks today is to setup a RAID forum
incorporating team members, stakeholders and
suppliers where relevant.

14. Bringing in the Cloud
Project applications are moving into cloud
technology and this includes certain aspects of
project management. Cloud technology for
project management applications allow for
seamless communication and the ability to
track resources and tasks at any time and
wherever the project manager and project
team is located. Companies are investing in
cloud project management applications
because they realize that employees can be
more productive and get more work done when
they can access work information wherever
they are.
The key benefits of using cloud technology for
project management can be summed up as:
• Effective collaboration
• Real Time Monitoring
• Instant Communication
• Documentation management
• Task Tracking
• Issues and Risks
15. Project Management and
Operations
Project Management and day to day Business
Operations are very closely interlinked as the
operational processes that run the business will
feed into the project life cycle to provide a
systematic and controlled way to perform
certain areas within the project business case
to ensure that the targeting KPI’s are met.
The guiding success factor for any project is to
ensure that the operations team are included in
the delivery of the project, how the suppliers
are delivering against the agreed Scope of Work

The key role and responsibility of the project
manager is to deliver the product that was
outlined and approved in the business case. It is
important to remember that the product drives
the project and whether it is a tangible product
or an intangible product the process for
delivery will be governed by the project process
groups and methodologies and ultimately by
the project manager.
The products can be categorised into software
delivery , infrastructure, turnkey and marketing
campaigns which cover a multitude of
industries from banking, infrastructure,
software development, turnkey and service
improvement initiatives.
Project managers as a whole will specialize on a
project category where they will continue to

17. At the end of a project the project manager
should sit with the team and the stakeholders
and begin to evaluate the overall success of the
project.
