The workshop will be held in English and run for two days, on November 9 and 10, 2021.

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 closer look at scrum as one of the agile frameworks and at IT-tools we can use in agile PM. The workshop will not only introduce theoretically but focus on applying tools to gain a better understanding - therefore participants are invited to actively contribute.

For better understanding agile tools will be compared to „traditional“ PM-tools. Additionally we will discuss how to apply agile PM in research and in scientific projects.

This workshop is open to doctoral researchers and postdocs at KIT who are KHYS members with no or little knowledge in agile PM.

The workshop will be held in English and run for two days, on November 9 and 10, 2021.
