In today’s fast-paced, mission-driven project and program delivery environments, the ability to answer the question, “Will we make it?” is critical to success. The most innovative solutions and capabilities become irrelevant if they aren’t delivered on time and within the allocated budget.
As the demand for rapid delivery and flexible development approaches grows, integrating agile practices with traditional program management governance and control processes is essential to remaining competitive and achieving positive delivery outcomes at “the speed of relevance”.
Mission-critical solutions involve multiple disciplines. While the software is increasingly developed incrementally, the hardware and the overall system lifecycle often follow a more traditional waterfall approach. The natural tension between these methodologies creates challenges in effectively tracking program performance, making it difficult to manage scope, schedule, and cost in a way that supports agility while maintaining accountability.
This keynote will explore the core principles of Agile Program Performance Management (Agile PPM)—an innovative approach that applies agile practices to track progress against scope, schedule, and cost. Agile PPM ensures the right decisions are made at the right time, enabling organizations to confidently answer the big question, “Will we make it?” and pivot effectively when necessary.
This session will also serve as an introduction to the integration of Agile PPM into governance and controls processes, which will be explored in detail in a hands-on masterclass. In that session, attendees will “deep dive” into practical strategies that will enable them to apply Agile PPM in their own project and program delivery domains.
