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
(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
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.
Team exercise  write user stories 
 Goals 
 Discover users with 
stories about Code 
School 
 Get them to share 
stories 
 Constraints

 Super quick 
 Maintain brand
2x2: Tools  choose your axes
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
