Agile PM Roundtable: Enable Change to Achieve the Envisioned Future State

We want the future to be better than the present. So, as we move towards the future, things will have to change. And in order for things to change, people will have to change. And that can be challenging for everyone, including (and especially) the people driving those changes.

The Agile manifesto and principles talk about change, but don't go into much detail about the practical implementations. Traditional project management focuses on changes to projects and processes and not so much on the people and systems impacted by those changes.

The Seventh Edition of the PMBOK strikes a new chord and discusses the sources of change, the pace of change, and who is impacted by change. It doesn't offer all of the answers, but it's a good place to start.

At the February Agile PM Roundtable, we'll discuss creating change to bring about the future we envision. Bring your questions, experiences, and ideas for enabling change to our Lean Coffee.

• Where does change come from in your organizations? What does it look like?
• Which techniques work well to enable change? Which don't?
• How do you know that a change is "done" and that the future state has been achieved?
