This fall we are launching a webinar series on the potential of Earned Value Management to transform Agile development organizations. You are cordially invited to join us for the first session -

Translating Points to Dollars: Agile EVM and Project Portfolio Management

Friday, November 19, 9:30-10:30 PST

Agile teams speak in points and iterations, but business managers think in terms of dates and dollars. This conceptual and language barrier makes strategic business planning and reporting a significant challenge for Agile teams.

In this webinar you will learn:

• How to bridge the “Points vs. Dollars” language barrier to simplify project portfolio management, address the needs of strategic planners, and reduce the overhead of “managing up”.
• How Agile development teams use AgileEVM to more quickly identify cost, schedule, scope and quality issues on Agile projects.

You will see real-life examples of AgileEVM in action, and you’ll learn why the AgileEVM application has galvanized Agile thought leaders and executives from leading IT and commercial product organizations. You’ll also learn from Barton’s and Sterling’s own experience as Agile development team leaders, consultants and instructors. An interactive Q&A session will further enrich the discussion.
