Agenda Introduction The History of Agile (very abbreviated!) PMBOK and Agile Guide Frameworks – A Networking/Learning Exercise Focus: SAFe – Scaled Agile Framework

Introduction The PMI published it’s latest edition of the PMBOK in September 2017 The bulk of the new material relates to “adaptive methodologies” – this is the term PMI gives to all LEAN / Agile / Scrum methodologies and frameworks There is a new appendix in the PMBOK on Agile There is also a new separate Agile Practice Guide, produced in partnership with the Agile Alliance. PMI’s approach to the PMBOK has always been to cover every tool and technique that can be used in the management of any project, in any country, in any industry The approach in the Agile Practice Guide is the same – it tries to cover them all

The History of Agile (very abbreviated) 1986 – “The New New Product Development Game” was published in the Harvard Business Review 1990s – sees the independent development of various team-based Agile approaches Scrum – Ken Schwaber and Jeff Sutherland XP (Extreme Programming) – Kent Beck 2001 – The Agile Manifesto – Denver, Colorado 2000s – Lots of startup companies have huge success with Agile they start scaling it, and frameworks start to emerge 2011 – Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe)

Agile Approaches – The Agile Guide

Networking/Learning Exercise At your table, research a framework using your phone, laptop or tablet Appoint a Product Owner (PO) Find a fact about the Framework you chose Only the PO can accept it – it cannot be already on the backlog (wall) Once all team members have posted a fact on the wall, design a Poster that will educate the room What is/are the main distinguishing characteristic(s)? Time Box 10 mins research, discuss 10 mins to produce the poster 2 mins each to share
