Human Resources is hosting a two-part program called 'Agile Productivity in the World of Work' which will provide participants with highly practical strategies, incorporating Agile methodologies, to help them manage projects, time and energy.

Most people, when faced with change and pressure to go faster, plan less. Yet the agile, productive response is to stop, think and plan more. This two-part program will provide you with highly practical strategies, incorporating Agile methodologies, to help you manage your projects, time and energy. Content of this two part program includes:

An introduction to Agile Methodology (with an emphasise on the Scrum framework) providing you with an understanding of what the Agile approach is all about - key principles, ceremonies, artifacts, etc.
Highly practical, specific best practices to help you apply Agile, and other core productivity practices, to help you better manage your projects and workloads.
How to apply smart time-blocking strategies for proactively carving out time for your key deadlines and priorities. (instead of waiting for a “good time” when there’s nothing else to do, and no more change or uncertainty)
An opportunity to share and discuss tools that are available and how they might be used even better and with more consistency to support Agile productivity practices. We’ll also provide you with a simple, yet highly effective tool to help you plan out and manage multiple priorities/projects simultaneously.
Agile productivity is all about helping people & teams adjust to change so we’ll provide you with powerful, solution-focused strategies to help you explore and negotiate priorities as change happens and multiple requests come at you.
How to “resist the noise” of technology (email, IM ) and create small windows of high quality, undistracted focus time to do quality, focused work.

There are two sessions:
