Outline of Mike Griffiths Agile Project Management Talk

Agile methods are gaining acceptance for software development projects, but how should they best be managed? The answer is that they should be led rather than managed, and this presentation will illustrate how leadership techniques can be effectively implemented on agile projects. Using case studies and practical examples, Mike will explain key techniques for leading agile teams. Some of the techniques outlined are very straight forward that a team can introduce tomorrow; while others are more involved, but generate larger benefits.

The presentation will cover:

  • The differences between management and leadership
  • Agile methods and their links to leadership
  • People as a high leverage differentiator for success
  • Practical leadership tools and techniques
  • War stories, failures, and things to avoid
