Methods over Madness… Getting the right process for project control

Presentation Summary:

Does running an agile project often feel to you like you are presiding
over a Mad Hatter’s tea party? Gaining and keeping control of projects
relies on having patterns to follow, and being nimble enough to adopt,
change swap and adapt those patterns to fit your needs. OPENUP and an
understanding of processes could help. To give you an idea of the
payback of standard patterns and borrowing from the OPENUP method, Tom
Weinberger will demonstrate the ROI value potential of the patterns
and then show how patterns can be applied to projects utilizing the
Rational Method Composer tool to generate project schedules from
individualized patterns for Requirements, Project Management,
Governance, Development and Testing.

Tom is a 30 year veteran of IT working as a change agent wherever he goes.

He has focused his efforts for the last twelve years on being a
student of the RUP and the Rational tools. He is a Certified RUP
Solution Designer, and a certified SCRUMmaster.  He has led several
companies like AAA of Northern Ca, Nevada and Utah, BP-AMOCO,
Grainger.com, State Street Financial and SEARS though successful
Enterprise level RUP and Rational Tool adoptions. These companies
represent approx. 700 to over 2500 IT staff – including global
development efforts.

He is also adept at using the Rational Method Composer product (or its
sister product EPF) to implement these changes and uses his
considerable organizational change management skills to get teams to
change their behaviors to produce quality software on a timely basis.
