Topic: Is Agile Good Enough to tell the CEO?
Description:
Is Agile Good enough to tell the CEO?
We’re PMP’s, CSM’s, or project management enthusiasts but do we really believe in project management enough to tell the CEO they should use it? What about Agile, is it a flavor of the month, is it a subset of project management, or is it the best methodology within project management? Is Agile good enough to tell the CEO they should use it? Would your conversation with a CEO persuade them Agile should be implemented?
Matt will highlight various companies using Agile and his recent experience with an engineering group in Novi, MI which obtained 6x the deliverables management expected. His objective for this presentation would be your conversation with a CEO would persuade them Agile should be implemented.
