MCS Online - Being an Activist Investor in IT Projects

26 May, 2010 - 06:30 pm
IST

We are delighted to invite you to an interactive webinar on "Activist IT Investing". An ounce of good governance is worth a pound of project rescue. Agile practices, with their emphasis on transparency, business alignment and technical completion, are enablers of better IT governance. But all the transparency and alignment in the world isn't going to do us any good if we're not equipped to pay attention to it.

An Agile organization needs a new approach to governance, one that makes everybody think not as caretakers of a project, but investors in a business outcome. This presentation explores the principles of Agile governance, and what it means to be an activist IT investor in a Lean-Agile world.

What You Will Learn

  • What are the principles of IT governance?
  • What kind of governance does Agile enable and demand?
  • How do we create a culture of activist investors in IT projects?
