Description

Agile methods break many of the controls we commonly use on our traditional projects. In addition, they use completely different metrics for tracking project progress and health. In an agile environment, how do you know if your project is running well? This 60-minute presentation will introduce you to some early warning signs that your agile project is heading in a bad direction. By keeping a sharp nose out for "foul smells"in these areas, you'll be alerted sooner of impending troubles, giving you more time to take corrective action. This event is ideal for Scrum Masters, Agile Project Managers, PMO Leads, Corporate Risk Managers and Auditors.
