RADTAC are delighted to be hosting a seminar on Pragmatic Agile at this year’s Project Challenge Conference at the National Motorcycle Museum, Birmingham.
David Hicks, RADTAC CEO, will be presenting together with RADTAC client Martin Freeman from Profund Solutions (part of the Jardine Lloyd Thompson Group). The seminar is on Wednesday 14th March at 11:30 in Seminar Zone B of the conference hall.
This presentation discusses the key concepts of ‘Agile’ and relates it to the Project Management community. The Information Technology Project Management community have been using agile delivery approaches since the mid 1990s. Agile delivery approaches have been specifically designed to operate effectively in environments where a high level of change volatility and a low level of requirements understanding is likely to be the case. Agile has shown significant success (200% + improvements in productivity) in the software industry, however there have been concerns over it’s applicability across the organisation, the perception is that agile may be good for small non complex projects but cannot be used across a project, programme or organisation. ‘Pragmatic agile’ addresses these issues and integrates together the leading agile approaches into an organisations corporate structures and within the chosen programme and project management methods / frameworks. This means that agile approaches can be used within any project, business or IT related. The presentation will discuss the theory of pragmatic agile and visit some private and public sector case studies where the approach has been used with great success.
