Using agile approaches on projects has become very popular of late. There are many success stories from organisations who have embraced the new ethos. However, some projects have been more successful than others. This presentation will describe the ten golden rules you need to adopt in order to increase your chances of success. These rules will help you turn your projects from being “ok” into projects that are “excellent”!

This session will identify:

• How to get a project off to a good start.
• How to identify the important characteristics of the people involved on the project.
• What you need to look for so that you can read the vital signals coming from the project team.
• The importance of time and how it is being used in order to control the rest of the project.
• How to embrace the inevitability of change (but also making sure it is the right kind of change!).
• If you are communicating in the right way most of the time or some of the time
