Yeah but is there any practical, useful info given in these trainings or are they all vague BS as they sound in the descriptions. I was already joking saying the difference between what is written about the courses and how they describe Scientology auditing courses are not very dissimilar.Originally posted by nynole1:
Its the buzzword in IT as it relates to PM.

I can't speak personally to that but most of the PMs I talk to think its a scam to make money with training. They say a lot of whats preached in Agile are things that PMs have already been doing for years.Originally posted by FSUTribe76:

I was a traditional/waterfall IT Project Manager for several years before learning of Agile. I was skeptical of the framework until we started applying the principles and practices. I even had the same thoughts regarding it being a scam to sell training. But once I was able to experience the differences between Waterfall and Agile, there was no turning back. I have trained over 2,000 individuals, coached over 50 teams and dozens of organizations in the past 4 years to make the transition and to my knowledge not a single person or company has wanted to return to the way they used to manage projects. Why? Because Agile teams, organizations and their customers love Agile. Those that refuse to adapt to the new methods and approaches of delivering value run the risk of becoming irrelevant.Originally posted by nynole1:I can't speak personally to that but most of the PMs I talk to think its a scam to make money with training.

One thing I do know, it does open up doors for people to interview.
This is awesome! Glad to hear you get value out of daily scrum. My wife and I use Scrum and Kanban principles to manage our household projects and budget.Originally posted by 12Nole:
I like the methodology and scrum meetings. Keeps everyone focused, engaged, and motivated. You also can pick out pretty quickly who is slacking or needs more coaching after a scrum meetings. We don't follow any methodology at my current employer but I follow the routine myself minus the meetings as far as writing up what needs to be and what has been done etc.

FSU, let me just start out by saying that I was not in any way picking at Agile or any other methodology. I am not qualified to make that type of judgement and I want that to be clear. I was only repeating what I've been told by many a PM who has been through WF, Agile, etc. They feel its a flavor of the week type of a situation if that makes sense?Originally posted by fsunole025:

Are you an IT recruiter?
For a good PM the flavor of the week impression tends to be the case.Originally posted by nynole1:

The professional/managerial certification is what I'm talking about although I could use the latter. Back several years ago when I was single and still cared about such things I told my personal trainer Monster Matt that I wanted to match or exceed every NFL combine statistic of the worst Safety at the combine that year. I pretty easily exceeded the bench, 40, and jumps

Would this have been in 2008 when the slowest time was a 4.69 or 2009 when a 4.64 was the slowest?Originally posted by FSUTribe76:
