So\, while we couldn’t give you 15-minutes of fame\, we gave you 60 seconds. \n \n\nWhy UN-Common Sense\nAs popular as Agile is\, its success rate is not particularly high. Your three hosts believe this is because most organizations are being led by cargo cult and echo chambers. Many brilliant and proven concepts are not in any of the more popular approaches. This has resulted in a huge gap between what is possible and what is being achieved. The Uncommon Sense sessions will present many concepts that organizations should be using but that are not popular while also uncover myths present in popular methods that are holding organizations back. \nThe hosts of Uncommon sense are either creators of cutting edge\, but proven approaches (Al\, Steve) or an experienced trainer / practitioner in Agile methods. This will ensure you get both the theory and the practice of the methods being described. \nPMI PDU’S\nAre you a PMI member? You can maintain your certification status by earning Professional Development Units (PDUs).  PMI certifications require you to earn a certain number of PDUs over a 3-year cycle.

On Wednesday\, July 21 at 3 pm ET\, hope you can join Steve Tendon and Joshua Barnes for a free LinkedIn Live event for a discussion lead by Ian Heptinstall where he will explore his idea of  “Two Constituent Parts That Agile Project Management as a “Method” Has.   \nIan is not an Agile Project Management specialist\, nor software or IT guy. His project experience comes from the world of capital projects (buildings\, factories\, construction\, infrastructure)\, where he has worked both for project owners such as chemical and pharmaceutical companies and in the supply chain supporting other people’s projects. He is the author of “The Executive Guide to Breakthrough Project Management.” \nWhy UN-Common Sense\nAs popular as Agile is\, its success rate is not particularly high. Your three hosts believe this is because most organizations are being led by cargo cult and echo chambers. Many brilliant and proven concepts are not in any of the more popular approaches. This has resulted in a huge gap between what is possible and what is being achieved. The Uncommon Sense sessions will present many concepts that organizations should be using but that are not popular while also uncover myths present in popular methods that are holding organizations back. \nThe hosts of Uncommon sense are either creators of cutting edge\, but proven approaches (Al\, Steve) or an experienced trainer / practitioner in Agile methods. This will ensure you get both the theory and the practice of the methods being described. \nPMI PDU’S\nAre you a PMI member? You can maintain your certification status by earning Professional Development Units (PDUs).  PMI certifications require you to earn a certain number of PDUs over a 3-year cycle.

The productivity of agile teams has benefited\, but can we use these tools for other events? Yes! Usage for conducting agility health checks is just one of them I will discuss. \nWhy UN-Common Sense\nAs popular as Agile is\, its success rate is not particularly high. Your three hosts believe this is because most organizations are being led by cargo cult and echo chambers. Many brilliant and proven concepts are not in any of the more popular approaches. This has resulted in a huge gap between what is possible and what is being achieved. The Uncommon Sense sessions will present many concepts that organizations should be using but that are not popular while also uncover myths present in popular methods that are holding organizations back. \nThe hosts of Uncommon sense are either creators of cutting edge\, but proven approaches (Al\, Steve) or an experienced trainer / practitioner in Agile methods. This will ensure you get both the theory and the practice of the methods being described. \nPMI PDU’S\nAre you a PMI member?
