3. Wiki agile project management
Agile project management is an iterative and
incremental method of managing the design
and build activities for engineering, information
technology, and new product or service
development projects in a highly flexible and
interactive manner, for example agile software
development.

Metaphor have you climbed a mountain?
It's incremental, not one giant leap agile process
4. (Meetup team formation)
'Experts' those who've used the tools:
Atlassian Jira/Confluence or Pivotal Tracker
Trello, Basecamp, Asana, Nama PM, Better, etc.
Others are 'N00bs'
Pairing ideally expert & n00b
Sample apps:
The Odin Project (real project)
Bridge Troll (real project)
See others: Pivotal community projects
5. Group: questions and metaphors
How does your team communicate product
roadmap?
Is it a list?
Is it visual?
Is it verbal?
How does your team monitor and measure
resources?
Sit next to your pair. Close your eyes. Give each
other a hi-five. Now open eyes. Try again.
6. Team exercise write user stories
Goals
Discover users with
stories about Code
School
Get them to share
stories
Constraints
Cost effective
Super quick
Maintain brand
8. Building philosophy
Recognize that Pivotal Tracker was built by team
Pivotal to reflect its approach to building software
Agile, collaborative, enables extreme
programming velocity feature, for instance
Same for Basecamp so,
As a PM, make sure you understand the problem and
the building approach that fits the problem
