© Megan Torrance | LLAMA Agile Project Management for Learning Agile is as much an attitude as it is a project management method. 25

© Megan Torrance | LLAMA Agile Project Management for Learning ADDIE and Agile are not incompatible. Agile works with ADDIE on very short iterations. 26

© Megan Torrance | LLAMA Agile Project Management for Learning Rules for Estimating: The person who does the work estimates the work 52

© Megan Torrance | LLAMA Agile Project Management for Learning Rules for Estimating: Estimate based on what you think it will take to do the work, with no padding. 53

© Megan Torrance | LLAMA Agile Project Management for Learning An estimate is just that. An estimate. 54

© Megan Torrance | LLAMA Agile Project Management for Learning When the estimate is wrong Speak up as soon as you know something is awry. 2.Say "thank you“. 3.Understand why. 4.Figure out what to do next. 5.Communicate with the client. 55

© Megan Torrance | LLAMA Agile Project Management for Learning Sometimes you'll join an Agile team. The #1 complaint: There's no stable documentation upon which to build training. 80

© Megan Torrance | LLAMA Agile Project Management for Learning Sometimes you'll join an Agile team. Be prepared for constant change Accept that the underlying product could (should?) change Be sure to include training as part of the story cards 81

© Megan Torrance | LLAMA Agile Project Management for Learning Educate your clients on how you work with Agile. 82

© Megan Torrance | LLAMA Agile Project Management for Learning Agile creates a WDWT (work- directed-work-team) environment. Be ready for it. 83

© Megan Torrance | LLAMA Agile Project Management for Learning Don't be a scope creep. Stick to the cards. 84
