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 Product Development Game” was published in the Harvard Business Review • 1990 s – 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 • 2000 s – Lots of startup companies have huge success with Agile – they start scaling it, and frameworks start to emerge • 2011 – Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe)

Networking / Learning Exercise Scrum of Scrums

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
