Topic: Leveraging Agile Methods in Learning and Development, ft. Megan Torrence!

Description: 

L&D projects can leverage methods used by agile teams to deliver their work on time, on budget, and in line with expectations, even as those expectations change. We've got a treat this month as nationally renowned L&D expert Megan Torrence joins us to share her expertise!

In this session, we’ll start with a quick definition of Agile and its use within the L&D space, and then explore how L&D teams that use Agile handle constant change, build relationships, and finish the job.

In this session, you will learn how to:

• Build a business case for using Agile methods in L&D.
• Kick off an Agile team for success and convey a willingness to accept change in the project.
• Manage an L&D project using Agile-influenced methods for estimating, iterating, and planning the work.

The group typically meets on the first Friday of the month from 8:00-9:30 a.m., with networking at 8:00 and the main program at 8:30. Mark your calendars and plan to attend every month!
