  The Agile PMO: Scaling Agile through Adaptive Governance Tweet This

How should we scale Agile methods beyond individual projects?  How can PMOs avoid being process police and instead truly support Agile teams, enable enterprise rollout of Agile methods, and sustain long-term Agile adoption?   Learn how industry leaders are scaling Agile with Agile PMOs that:
  • Support and empower agile teams through training, coaching, and organizational obstacle removal
  • Track project portfolios using Agile tracking techniques
  • Bring lean discipline to project prioritization
  • Move towards a stable teams model of resource management

Sanjiv will share principles and techniques for the Agile PMO, and discuss how those concepts are being applied in the industry to scale Agile methods through adaptive governance of programs and portfolios.
