Presented by John Parker, CEO of Enfocus Solutions, Inc. @EnfocusSolution
The real challenge: project teams and executives rarely have a
good process for evaluating and deciding on the right things to build. Project
teams need a process to evaluate problems and opportunities, reduce risk, and
to prioritize so that focus is placed on things that deliver the most value.
Populating the backlog with user stories that have not been validated is
certainly not the answer. In this webinar John Parker will discuss dual-track
agile, a potential solution for solving this problem.
Dual-track agile is beginning to emerge as key concept in the agile community. Dual-track agile has two tracks: discovery and delivery. The discovery track is about quickly generating validated product backlog items, and the delivery track is all about generating releasable software.

Fundamentals of Self-Organized/Self-Managed Teams
Presented by ASPE Training
High performing teams
have a number of key characteristics. One of the most important is that they
learn: from each other, from their leaders, from their customers, from... just
about anyone and anything. Learning doesn't mean that they do everything they
learn. Rather, it means that everything they do is informed by what they learn.
In this session, we'll develop a core foundation of understanding about levels of mastery, styles of learning, personality types, and how those are significant contributors to teams moving from just-a-team to a high performing, self-managing team.

Project
Management is About Managing Value not Tasks
Presented by John Parker, CEO of
Enfocus Solutions, Inc. @EnfocusSolution
In the past, project success was measured by whether a project
was delivered on-time, on-budget, and on-scope. However using these
measures, a project could be deemed 100% successful, yet not provide any
business value and be completely rejected by the users for not helping them
solve their problem. The rapid migration of organizations to agile methods has
turned the world of project management upside down. There is no official
role of project manager in an agile environment. Project management
responsibilities are split between the product owner and the team and agile
teams are self-managing meaning they define and manage their own tasks.
However, as organizations start to scale agile across the enterprise, the need
for project management becomes quite evident. However, the role of project
management changes from one of managing tasks to managing the rapid delivery of
value. In this engaging webinar, John Parker will discuss how project managers
and PMOs can transform themselves to support a scaled agile environment and
learn to focus on managing value instead of tasks.

Key
Elements of Requirements Facilitation
Presented by Kate McGoey, Director of Product Development at B2T Training @kate_mcgoey
Presented by Kate McGoey, Director of Product Development at B2T Training @kate_mcgoey
The art of bringing people together, face-to-face or remotely,
to elicit requirements and gain consensus on solutions is a valuable technique
needed by all business analysis professionals. A facilitated session
provides business value by reducing the time that it takes to elicit and gain
feedback about requirements. Well run sessions contribute to customer and user
satisfaction because people get actively involved in the definition of their
requirements and often form cohesive bonds as the project team works toward a
mutual purpose.
This webinar will introduce business analysts to the key
elements of facilitation, provide suggestions when facilitated sessions can be
most useful and provide advice on how to structure a productive session.
