Event Details: 
This topic will compare and explore leveraging the strengths of both traditional project management methods and Agile techniques – when best to use what - to deliver business solutions. We’ll investigate the origins of “waterfall” project management and Scrum to see how the perception and application of both sets of methods have emerged and evolved over the years into a happy balance. We will also explore the future of each approach and discuss emerging trends.
