Presented by Bob Galen, Agile
Practitioner, Trainer & Coach based in Cary, NC
It’s largely a chicken & egg problem. Where does
organizational culture come from? Does it grow organically from the bottom-up?
Is it tied to organizational structure? Is it strongly tied to the culture that
leaders are setting?
While it comes from all of the above and more, Bob
Galen asserts (and has observed in his coaching) that leaders play the most
important role in culture-setting. But he doesn’t believe they really
understand that responsibility, what it entails, and tactics for actively
setting the culture. Thus, this workshop.
We’ll start by exploring the dynamics of leadership
culture setting by going through a simple assessment exercise to determine your
individual culture-setting maturity level. Next, we’ll focus on sharing a set
of heuristics (thinking models) that describe effective culture-setting
practices. Bob refers to them as your Walking Your Agile Leadership Talk
(WYALT) heuristics. And we’ll drill down into the positive leadership behaviors
that amplify each heuristic.
We’ll wrap up the talk by giving everyone an
individual chance to create a personal WYALT improvement plan to close any gaps
you found in your personal assessments. But no judgment, we’re all on a
journey, right?

Facilitating Virtual
Scrum Events – Tips and Tricks for the New Normal
Presented by Mike Stuedemann, CSM, CSPO, Watermark Learning
We are in a new world. A global pandemic has forced an
immediate change in our world of work. While Teams practicing Agile frameworks,
like Scrum, are naturally predisposed to deal with change – interruptions, new
competitors, shifts in priorities, shifts in markets, etc., they are not
completely immune from the adjustments necessary to thrive in this new reality.
In this session, we will review the adjustments that each Scrum Team must make
as they work in a virtual world. Walking through the framework, we will explore
the changes that need to be made in order to conduct a successful virtual
Sprint including “tips and tricks” for conducting Sprint Planning, the Daily
Scrum, Sprint Review, and Sprint Retrospective. Participants will leave with
the ability to experiment with these techniques as they work in the new virtual
world.

The Business Analyst
and Digital Transformations
Presented by Steve Blais
We business analysts are familiar with automation.
We’ve been recommending changes in business to further automate manual
procedures and to improve the current automated processes. However we are in
the throes of a total disruption in which the mere automation of processes is
no longer enough. We are looking at fully automated stores, “smart” branch
banking, our life at our fingertips in the form of cell phones, and more and
more digitization of everything we do. Does this change the role of the
business analyst? The question is, will the business analyst continue to react
to changes as they are occurring and spend their time defining software
requirements and user stories or will the business analyst be at the forefront
of the entire transformation process in the organization? This webinar provides
a look at the disruption of digital transformation to business and to the job
of the business analyst, and what the business analyst can do about it.
Topics:
• Automation
versus Transformation
• Digital
disruption • An eye toward innovation
• Maintain our
business analysis edge

Data Science In Project
Management – Science Fiction Or Reality? Don’t Delay Your Business Future, When
You Can Benefit Now!
Presented by Fred Radnoti, Co-founders
of SAR Associates Inc.
Advanced analytics and business intelligence are
poised to improve cost performance for project driven companies. Industries,
such as Infrastructure, Technology and Finance, specifically in Project
Management discipline, relied on traditional methods and tools and until
recently were slow in adopting modern digital technology. In the past number of
years, the Industry digitalized most of its Project Management information,
generating volumes of data that are beyond capacity of people and regular
information management tools. Audiit is on a mission to turn Project Management
Data into an asset that revolutionizes and disrupts the industry pushing it to
perform at the levels of technology driven companies. Employing Deep Analytics,
Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence to Project Management Data makes
it work harder for the Industry. To support the move from static to advanced
dynamic business intelligence, companies need to leverage historical and
real-time transactional data to provide insights and intelligence.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
• Learn about
current and future business intelligence tools and methods.
• Learn to
align daily Project Management activities with strategic company goals.
• Learn how
advanced analytics in Project Management improves business performance and
outcomes.
