The event will be held in English and run for two days, on November 7 and 8, 2024.

Using tools and approaches from “traditional” project management it’s difficult to handle project environments that are changing and don’t allow to foresee what exactly the development or project requirements will be. First time developed and applied in IT agile project management nowadays is applied in many different fields that have to consider changes or rapid developments in their surroundings. This approach allows to flexibly respond and adapt to these changes.

The workshop agile project management (PM) introduces the participants to the basic approach and ideas (agile values and agile manifesto) as well as to tools and processes applied in agile PM. We will take a look at scrum as one of the agile frameworks and at IT-tools one can use in agile PM (Jira, Trello). The workshop will not only introduce theoretically but focus on applying tools to gain a better understanding - therefore participants are invited to actively contribute.

Target group: Doctoral Researchers and Postdocs with no or little knowledge in agile PM.

Basic knowledge of classic PM is assumed.
