Agile – the key to thriving in the 21st century: webinar with Barbara Roberts.

Barbara Roberts, a leading agile thinker from the UK discusses how agile project management is crucial for success in the 21st century.

Barbara discusses the evolution of business in the past few decades, starting with the dominance of machines in the 1960s and the introduction of Rapid Application Development (RAD) in the late 1980s and early 1990s, which had negative effects on end-user solutions.

In the webinar, Barbara Roberts explains the essence of Agile, which she describes as an ‘umbrella’ term for flexible ways of working. She emphasises that Agile is not a set of strict rules to be followed in a specific order but rather a mindset that should be adopted.

Barbara also highlights the key characteristics all Agile approaches and discusses the shift from traditional approaches to an Agile approach, which prioritises time, cost, and quality.

In this webinar, Barbara also addresses common misconceptions about Agile and discusses the benefits of using agile approaches.

Agile Project Management (AgilePM®)

AgilePM (Agile Project Management) is a framework for managing projects using Agile principles and practices. AgilePM is based on the Agile Manifesto, a set of guiding values and principles for Agile software development.

It is designed to be flexible and adaptable, emphasising collaboration, customer satisfaction, and the ability to respond to change.

AgilePM is focused on delivering high-quality products and services to customers through iterative and incremental development.

It is designed to be scalable and flexible and can be used in projects of any size or complexity. It is also compatible with other Agile frameworks, such as Scrum and Lean, and it can be tailored to meet a particular project's specific needs and constraints.

AgilePM is widely recognised as the most popular agile project management framework worldwide.
