Transitioning from Waterfall to Agile Project Management

This course is a part of Become an Agile Project Manager, a 10-course Learning Path series from LinkedIn Learning.

If your organization is looking to realize the time, quality, and cost benefits of agile project management, this course is for you. Agile expert Kelley O'Connell helps those interested in experimenting with agile understand the difference between traditional waterfall and agile methodologies and what is required for a successful transition between the two. She provides advice on garnering support for a pilot project: by identifying supporters early on and keeping them engaged, while also responding to detractors. She then leads you through the process of choosing the pilot project, selecting the right team, and setting the vision, and provides a short overview of agile basics to you get started. Finally, learn how to perform a retrospective review of the pilot and identify the drivers to continue an agile rollout.
