Episode 186 (Audio): The Agile Manifesto for Project Managers (Free)
In this episode of The Project Management Podcast we are going to review "The Manifesto for Agile Software Development". It is better known by the simpler name The Agile Manifesto and you can find it at http://agilemanifesto.org/.
The focus of our review of the manifesto is (of course) going to be on agile project management - in particular: what does the manifesto and its 12 principles mean for our work as PMs in an Agile environment.
I hear from a lot of project managers wanting scrum agile project management training, and before you move on to the more advanced topics, it's important to get the foundations right, which is exactly what this episode will help with.
I am going to give you my personal thoughts on this by analyzing the manifesto itself and then looking at each of the 12 principles and relating them to a PM's work. Whether you are using scrum project management, or have taken on the role of project manager in SAFe Agile or are working (or plan to work) in any other agile environment, this episode is a great introduction to the basic principles.
This episode is available both as a video and also as an audio-only version. Stop by at www.pm-podcast.com to download the version you want. Agile project management with scrum is a growing topic for agile practitioners, so this episode is one you won't want to miss!
Correction: At 19:45 I attribute the "Theory Y" to Ouchi. That is incorrect. "Theory Y" is from McGregor.
