Agile, Scrum, and Earned Value: Stop Those Divorce Proceedings!
You have to be a member to view this video.
There is little doubt that Agile and Scrum techniques have brought much-needed latitude to the management of IT projects. However, when Earned Value Management practitioners hear the words "latitude" and "management" in the same sentence, they automatically think "rubber baseline." Without formal change control over the baseline, Earned Value Management Systems' ability to accurately monitor cost and schedule performance deteriorate markedly, and yet Scrum and Agile techniques are designed (in part) to relieve the IT Project Manager from the often onerous requirements of formal baseline change control procedures in a highly dynamic environment. As Shakespeare's Theseus asks, "How shall we find the concord of this discord?" Author Michael Hatfield believes he has the answer, and will convey it in the webinar "Agile, Scrum, and Earned Value: Stop Those Divorce Proceedings!" to be held on August 13.
