Many Project managers begin to cringe when Agile is mentioned, thinking they soon will be out of a job. And managers aren't sure what project metrics are expected of them, either. What about the project schedule and the familiar Gantt charts? What happens to the budget planning? How do I give management a timeline if I can’t plan the entire project to the task level? Heidi will share some strategies for project manager success in an agile shop, from budget and schedule to cross-team planning and how to give some answers to “when will it be done?”

Learning Objectives
