Speaker: David Young, Director, Bestoutcome

Agile techniques such as Scrum are becoming increasing popular as ways to deliver IT projects faster and with higher success rates. But how do you change your established waterfall-based project processes to Scrum and is it always the right move? Bestoutcome have been helping some of the UK's leading multinationals to introduce agile methods into their IT divisions. Following on from the very well received presentation on Agile and the PMO at Project Challenge in September, we present our experiences and detail some of the pitfalls to avoid.

Agile and the PMO - 'How a PMO can control and monitor agile projects'

Presentation from Project Challenge Expo 2011 on 21st September at Kensington Olympia, London, UK

Speaker: David Young, Director, Bestoutcome

PMOs are well established in the traditional project world where they help senior executives control and manage the project portfolio. There are a number of well established tools and procedures that assist PMOs in this task. However, where an organisation has adopted Agile delivery practices the role of the PMO needs to change. Bestoutcome has been rolling out Agile across the UK's largest oil company. During this session we will share our experience and show how a traditional PMO can adapt to manage a mixed portfolio that includes Agile projects.
