ABOUT THE WEBINAR

There are quite a few best practices and recommended techniques that are touted around the traditional project management community, and even taken for granted, that are completely missing in the agile world. Even roles disappear – the business analyst and project manager have been excommunicated in Scrum and other agile approaches, for example. There is no WBS, precedence network, Gantt chart, risk analysis and risk management, status reports and lessons learned submissions. Or are there?

Is it possible that practices that have withstood the test of time for project management or product development have no value anymore? Or does agile still use them, perhaps just in a different way?

One of these practices, primarily employed to reduce risk of building the wrong product is traceability. This webinar discusses the “lost project management practices” in agile and whether they are really lost, using traceability as an example.

** Eligible for PDUs, CDUs. **
