23 Why do we need Agile Programs? Our project is really ongoing. Should these two projects be managed together? They seem to go together and they are so complex! Our company just revised our vision statement, but our projects and programs seemed to follow our previous objectives. I m sorry, I forget why we have this program. Can you please remind me?

48 Scaled Agile Program: A Strategy to Deliver More Quickly, with Team Engagement Benefits

49 Now it s Your Turn to Put Agile Program Management into Action! Rules of Play: Everyone is now an instant member of an Agile PMO. Each table is a team. In your Trail Mix Bag you will find tools to form strategic, emergent, and compliance programs. You do not have to use all artifacts. The portfolio manager is the team member who finished their dinner last at your table. They will read your organization s strategic vision statement first. The portfolio manager will designate another team member to be the product owner who will read the case study found in the Trail Mix Bag. All other team members are program managers. Your team will select an Agile Framework and Tools from the bag to get the work done. Your team decides what Framework and Tool(s) combination will best align the program with the strategic vision. The team must justify their selections. Goal: When the chime sounds, all teams should have a 30 sec. elevator pitch for their Agile program. The team judged to have the best strategic alignment based on an Agile mindset will win prizes.
