Seminar: Stealth Methodology Adoption

PMI Buffalo Chapter is sponsoring a seminar entitled "Stealth Methodology Adoption" at its 2008 Professional Development Day event at The Buffalo Niagara Convention Centre, Buffalo, NY.

Facing resistance when implementing new development process changes within an organization? Sometimes big changes need to be packaged to make them appear to be minor adjustments to the current process. Agile software development methods can coexist within SW-CMM/CMMI environments, but sometimes they need to be described in a way that makes them seem less threatening to the "process police" -- this presentation will show you how.

Participants will learn:

• Why people resist the introduction of new approaches
• The history of software development lifecycles and how these new approaches were accepted
• 9 tips on introducing new development methods to your team and to your organization
• Examples of introducing software development processes such as Extreme Programming (XP), Scrum, and other agile methods.
• Pitfalls to avoid when introducing a new method

The Stealth Methodology Adoption approach, however, is applicable to more than just software development projects -- you can use these techniques for most development process changes.
