Rally's Michele Sliger to Address Agile Team Support at the Rocky Mountain Project Management Symposium
Rally expert offers practical approaches on the importance of Agile to project managers
BOULDER, Colo., May 9, 2006 - Rally Software Development Corp., the leading on-demand provider of Agile software life cycle management solutions, announced today that Michele Sliger will be a featured speaker at the upcoming 2006 Rocky Mountain Project Management Symposium being held in Denver on Friday, May 12th. Sliger's presentation, entitled "A Project Manager's Survival Guide to Going Agile," will provide insights on how traditional project managers can transition to an Agile environment in an easy, efficient and streamlined way.
The 2006 Rocky Mountain Project Management Symposium features a world-class gathering of corporate, government and project management leaders. The event will showcase nationally and internationally known speakers and authors on leadership, change and project management.
"When software development teams move to Agile methodologies, the role of the project manager changes significantly," said Sliger. "Even the most experienced project managers can be confused about their new roles and responsibilities in an environment based on collaborative decision making. The focus of my presentation will be to provide attendees with the necessary framework for transitioning to Agile."
Sliger's presentation focuses on re-defining the job of the project manager and their new-and often more prominent -role in the Agile development process. Sliger focuses on linking the traditional Project Management Institute (PMI) practices to their counterparts in Agile, so that a shared lexicon can be established. Sliger will share practical examples of how changed focused on facilitation and collaboration skills can make anyone a more efficient Agile Project Manager.
The 2006 Rocky Mountain Project Management Symposium will be held Friday, May 12, 2006 from 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. at the Colorado Convention Center. The cost for PMI Mile High members is $345 and $495 for non-members. For information, call (303) 886-3602 or visit symposium@pmimilehi.org or www.pmimilehi.org.
