Evolving Project Management for the Digital Age
It aint software development any more, its digital.
And in the digital age change is fast, those who don't keep up are quickly left behind. Business innovation and technology innovation feed off one another. IT Projects are no longer something that happens on the side: the business is technology and the technology is the business. Traditional project management struggles to keep pace with an accelerating cycle.
So project thinking needs to evolve too. And it's more than just Agile, it's digital business, it's cloud, it's DevOps and continuous delivery, dual track, minimally viable teams and much more.
In this presentation Allan will set out some of the ways in which project management must evolve if it is to keep pace with the changing nature of business and the technology landscape.”
