Session Overview -  

 An Introduction to Agile Project Management

Today’s rapidly changing business environment demands an adaptable approach to project management. Agile was initially designed for software development but today these techniques are applied to a wide range of projects, from information technology to non-profit strategy development and from manufacturing to education. The focus is on empowering teams to collaborate and make decisions quickly and effectively. 

In this presentation, Lisa will provide an overview of the differences between Traditional Project Management and Agile, along with guidelines for recognizing which method is appropriate for different projects.
