Dan Laasna Reuter Invites you to a topic focused Pop-up Meetup, rumour has it this could be the world's first Lean Cider Meeting.
The Pop-up Meetup is an experiment in topic focused gatherings, offered or requested by the community. They run alongside and complement regular meetings. Your thoughts and feedback on this concept are welcomed.
Topic: How can the “traditional” PMO add value to the Agile delivery framework?
Background: At Aviva, where I am a Scrum Master, there is a PMO Centre of Excellence who have recently produced another Delivery Methodology and Key Deliverables that is very Traditional. The Agile team, including myself, have been trying to influence the discussion and tailor elements to support the Agile Framework. However, some people believe that an Agile supporting PMO is an oxymoron and others that in a pure Agile environment the PMO simply aren’t needed. Given that Aviva is not a pure Agile environment, I believe that the PMO can add value to the Agile journey and would like to talk to those with experience of this being the case elsewhere.
Format: Free flowing discussion which I hope to facilitate, ideally with significant contribution from either Agile PMO’s themselves or those who have worked in such an environment with an Agile PMO.
Where: Naval Volunteer, King Street, Bristol
