REGISTRATION CLOSED: Agile Leadership is Overrated – Isn’t It?

This workshop will focus on the concept of leadership in organizations which use an agile development process.  When people speak about agile it is common to hear terms like “no command and control,”  “there is no one particular person in charge,”  and “managers support rather than manage.”  In this type of environment, where is there room for “leadership?”  The workshop will look at leadership from several different perspectives and examine whether or not leadership is necessary.  If it is necessary for leadership, where does it come from and how is it manifested?  For project managers a thorough understanding of the realities of agile leadership is not a nicety, it is a necessity for success with agile projects.  The workshop will consist of approximately equal parts presentation and hands on exercises.
