Improve Your Professional Skills — A Key Ingredient to Agile Project Management Success

Today’s teams require vastly different leadership and management skills for Project Managers to truly achieve success. You may have to be a liaison with the PMO or the business — handling the governance of Agile projects or assisting Agile Development teams with these tasks. You can’t simply tell everyone what to do using a “command and control” style of project leadership. Instead, you need to be a strong coach, a change agent and a very effective communicator.
