On Tuesday 17 August 2021, our 7th PMI Switzerland Open Space took place on Zoom. In Open Spaces, each participant is able to freely ask questions and/or share his or her expertise and opinion.
The topic of this online event was "Planning for success in Agile delivery". The topic was presented with great talent by our volunteer Pia Henzelmann. On this occasion, 20 project managers joined from different sectors such as banking, food processing, IT consulting and more.
Different "virtual rooms" of 10 minutes each were created during the event in order to have various exchanges on themes of the participants’ choice. These virtual rooms were each managed by a facilitator to encourage engagement and ensure the best experience for everyone.
The questions selected for discussion on this broader topic announced for this Open Space included:
- How to introduce Agile planning even if the company methodology essentially expects waterfall?
- How to deal with small local initiatives, how to prioritize them?
- How to respect project budgets in Agile?
Each participant was able to freely ask questions and share his or her expertise and opinion and interesting answers were provided on these topics.
We invite you all to register to our next Open Space which will take place online via Zoom on Tuesday, November 9th on the theme "PMBOK 7 Initiation". You will have the opportunity to share and learn more on the numerous and important changes that this new edition proposes.
All our events can be consulted via the PMI Switzerland events page.
