4. 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

15. 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
