ALFISIG August 2018 Meeting

Speaker: John G. Stenbeck, PMP, PMI-ACP, CSM, CSP
Topic: Analyzing the PMBOK® Guide Sixth Edition - How should PMP®s respond to the silent tsunami headed at their careers?!

The PMBOK® Guide Sixth Edition unleashed a silent tsunami by shifting the tectonic plates of employer expectations! With Agile in every Knowledge Area, the new PMBOK® Guide is the biggest change in 20 years! It confirms that Agile is mainstream, that it is the hottest skillset in project management, and that your PMP® credential may get you the interview, but Agile expertise gets you the job!

The PMI-ACP® certification is the fastest growing certification in PMI history with more than 19,000 issued. This is not a fad! It is the new reality!!

The good news for most PMP®’s is they are using core Agile practices like Rolling Wave Planning, Progressive Elaboration, and Decomposition even though they may not be using Scrum vocabulary.

Over the last five years John Stenbeck has become one of the most influential voices in this critical area earning him the unofficial title, “Godfather of Agile in a Traditional World.”

During this presentation he will walk you through a careful analysis of Agile in the PMBOK® Guide Sixth Edition and show you specific, detailed guideline for deciding if, when and how to use Agile.

The PMBOK® Guide First Edition was published in 1996 with 176 pages and has grown to 600+ pages in the 20 years since, showing that our profession has evolved in very significant ways! Your career – your future! – requires every YOU to understand and integrate these Agile changes successfully.
