[Processdash-announce] You’re invited to "Exceptional Agile Planning and Tracking"

[<pro...@li...>]

The Process Dashboard provides unrivalled support for high-maturity
planning and tracking; but its rich-client architecture, lack of
integrations, and steep learning curve mean it's not a good fit for every
team.

To remedy these problems and bring high-maturity support to a broader
audience, I have been developing plugins that integrate these capabilities
directly into mainstream agile tools, starting with Jira.

I am delivering a presentation this week on the topic. I'll explain what
makes high-maturity planning and tracking unique, and announce the early
availability of the Jira plugin. I welcome you to attend; see the message
below for details and to register for the presentation.

*About the Presentation*

Agile methods have transformed software development, improving customer
satisfaction and accelerating speed-to-value. Yet many teams routinely hit
an “agile glass ceiling.” If you’ve grappled with missed commitments,
schedule overruns, and unpredictable delivery despite following agile best
practices, you are not alone.

This presentation describes a practical, proven approach to planning and
tracking that helps teams to be more agile as they make and keep
commitments, improve predictability, and delight their customers. You’ll
also see a newly-available suite of tools that makes these techniques
simple to adopt and integrate into existing agile workflows.
