The panelists will discuss risk aspects such as:

Why is risk management different today?

How can project managers avoid the obvious mistakes?

Navigating the New World of Project Management -- with Agility
Co-speakers: Mr. Mark Tolbert and Mrs. Susan Parente
Recorded: September 15, 2020
Video Length: 60 minutes
Today’s economic reality presents challenges that require organizations to be innovative and resilient ensuring transparency across virtual project teams. With an open mindset, teams can create, or re-energize, products and services enabling successful outcomes.
Project managers who embrace the inevitable changes may be more driven to one of the Agile methodologies. Yet, the best methodology for a specific scenario may not be one distinct approach, but a hybrid approach encompassing Agile, Kanban, Lean, or even Waterfall – especially with mid-sized or large, complex projects.
Join Essential Assets Group in welcoming Subject Matter Experts, Mark Tolbert and Susan Parente, to a one-hour virtual event which will share pragmatic ways to meet the adaptive challenges of today's virtual workplaces while keeping customers top of mind. Mark and Susan will discuss:
-
Why Traditional (Waterfall) approaches are still relevant
-
Why Agile is so important today, and how Agile helps solve a number of common risks
-
Why a Hybrid approach is necessary today
-
Stigmas associated with “Scrumdamentalists”
