Managing a Virtual Team
Presented by David Nicholls, IAG Consulting

The reality across many organizations is that managing geographically dispersed individuals on a “virtual team” becomes more and more viable every day. However, running a virtual team effectively is not as easy as setting up some fancy technology and managing remote individuals in the same way they’d be managed if they were collocated.

This one-hour webinar will explore the best practices that can be employed to overcome the inherent challenges of managing an effective and cohesive virtual team, as well as highlight many of the benefits which can be achieved using the virtual team management techniques that are currently used by IAG to manage our teams of consultants and client engagements across North America.

Participants will come away from this webinar with practical methods they can apply in their environment to help them communicate with, track progress on and improve results from the remote individuals and teams they manage.

·        Assessing the team and environment
·        Preparing for virtual communication and team management
·        Facilitation techniques for running virtual meetings

The Good, the Bad & the Ugly: A 16-Month Agile Transformation Case Study
Presented by Jacqueline Sanders-Blackman, PMP, CBAP, SAFe Agilist

Join our Senior Instructor, Jacqueline Sanders-Blackman, for a one-time, complimentary session of our new case study webinar!

Many organizational objectives today include increasing the ability to adapt to a changing environment, strengthen and refine the core business and adopt a more market-centric and customer-focused experience. Once identifying that an agile transformation is the best way to accomplish these goals, you start training right? Right and wrong.

Find out why jumping right in can often cause more problems than solutions. In this specific scenario, team members had received various agile, scrum and Kanban training, but nothing consistent. This left the team confused and with an overall negative perception  that began to overwhelm any benefits of agile.

It became clear that a more structured approach to agile was needed. This included a focus on healthy teams, changing corporate culture, addressing bad behaviors and bad habits, changing how your reward and recognize success, trust and transparency, failing fast, just enough development, etc. Once these pain points were addressed, the transformation became full circle to include SAFe incorporation, KPI establishment, team restructuring and self-sustaining program development. Leave this presentation with a radical, yet consumable real-world approach to an agile transformation.

Roadmap

·        Review a 16-month real-world agile transformation roadmap
·        Understand the human aspect of an agile transformation
·        Identify how to overcome roadblocks that make an agile transformation unattractive
·        Discuss the importance of an organization-wide acceptance and adoption of the agile mindset
·        Address common transformation pain points and provide solutions
