The Agile software development methodology has a fascinating range of ideas that can provide valuable learning’s to traditional project managers and in the wider sphere of stakeholder management.
Over the last few months I have been publishing a series of posts on this topic on the PMI Voices on Project Management blog. The key posts with a brief summary and links are:
