We all know that there is an important and prescribed position for managers in the traditional project management world. These folks are masters of estimates, schedules, costs, resources and all manner of traditional project planning. In the traditional project world (focus here on the word project) these activities are excellent qualities for management. But, what about a world where the focus is on the product? You know, that adaptive place where Agile frameworks thrive? Where dedicated teams focus on delivering quality products quickly with features that customers actually want and can use? Where does the manager fit in this world? What qualities will make this brave new manager thrive? Or, even be necessary? Please join me for an exploratory conversation on the Agile Manager.
