Join ETPMI for our monthly meeting! Throughout 2020, we will meet the third Thursday of each month.
Abstract: Western Governors University is experiencing dramatic growth in student and staff populations. To provide new cutting-edge technology for student-centric solutions at 10x and 100x scale, changes were needed to improve project success rates. Key challenges were creating an overall execution framework, ensuring new technology is well thought out, and achieving alignment between stakeholders, leadership, and the project teams.
To address these challenges, we implemented the “Document and Debate Culture” that emphasizes thinking well through writing. Good thinking produces good plans. Good plans lead to good actions, and therefore successful deliverables. Through the use of specific documents such as the 6 Page Narrative, 1-Page Summary, FAQ, and Goals, the Document and Debate Culture helped think more clearly about projects, products, and initiatives through writing.
Meetings in Document and Debate Culture begin by reading silently. Instead of a presentation, questions are asked, debate is expected, and feedback is received.
In this session we will discuss the principles, tools, processes, and benefits of the Document and Debate Culture, and how it has helped Western Governors University improve its project results.

Join ETPMI for our monthly meeting! Throughout 2020, we will meet the third Thursday of each month.
Abstract: Disciplined Agile is the topic of many conversations in our PMI Community. We hear these kinds of questions: Why did PMI add it to their product portfolio? What is Disciplined Agile? What is the value of Disciplined Agile to Chapter Members? How can you bring value to your team/organization with Disciplined Agile? How do I get started? What is possible for your personal and chapter roadmap?
Join us to hear Beth Ouellette share answers to all these questions and more. She will guide us through key components of Disciplined Agile as she shares practical applications, analogies and stories to connect the dots. She will even share the roadmap she used for her DA journey that you could leverage too. Though it is only an hour, we hope to gain a clear understanding of the potential of Disciplined agile for our Chapter, our members, and our community. You may even discover that you already apply a Disciplined Agile “Way of Working” today!
