Agile Planning and Project Management - Session 2 - Leveraging Agile for Government Contractors Series



The second webinar in the series will review Agile planning processes and artifacts.  We will introduce and discuss the cadence beginning with developing the product roadmap, backlog, estimation, team velocity, release planning, and sprint planning.  When the contract includes product deliverables rather than solely agile development services, we will discuss how to tie the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) - Scope, Schedule, Cost, and Forecast reporting with Agile processes. We will also discuss additional required program management roles and responsibilities as well as review tools that will support these processes for effective project management.

Learning Objectives
  • Develop an understanding of the typical Agile planning cadence.
  • Learn about best practices for developing the primary Agile planning artifacts.
  • Discover tools that will support effective Agile processes and project management.
