Agile is moving further into the mainstream, and much like its name suggests, these approaches are evolving. We discuss this with:
Tammy Ashraf, PMI-ACP, Earth science systems integration manager, NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Maryland, USA: Ashraf discusses the benefits of agile approaches, how traditionally risk-averse organizations are embracing agile techniques, and the skills project professionals need—such as servant leadership and a greater understanding of digital collaboration tools—as agile approaches evolve.
Adeyinka Adeniran, PMI-ACP, PMP, PgMP, technical program manager, Quantiphi, London: Adeniran discusses how his use of agile approaches has evolved, starting with scrum and moving to a DevOps environment; how he’s seen greater use of design thinking and artificial intelligence in agile; and why he believes these two trends are growing.
