Topic: MULTI-CHAPTER WEBINAR: "What's In Between? Hybrid Agile Process for Product Development" with Teresa Jurgens-Kowal

Time: April 8, 2025 7:00AM - 8:00AM Hawaii Time

Host Chapter: PMI-CIC Illinois

Session Description:

Over the past few years, many organizations that manufacture tangible products have attempted Agile approaches for new product development. Unfortunately, many of these processes fail to deliver the expected results in speed-to-market and flexibility. Yet, returning to a full waterfall process remains bureaucratic and intractable with remote and virtual teams. The solution is a hybrid waterfall-agile process.

In this session, we will identify various processes and systems for new product development (NPD). You will learn about two approaches to hybrid product development that can enhance the culture of innovation in your organization. We will provide examples of companies that adopted different processes to add flexibility while minimizing risk. Comparing and contrasting a non-profit using WAGILE Product Development and a manufacturer using Lean NPD, you will understand how culture and risk tolerance impact the choice of an effective product development process.

Key Takeaways:

Understand risk in innovation from a perspective of requirements uncertainty and technical uncertainty
Identify different hybrid waterfall-Agile approaches to new product development
Compare and contrast two organizations design of NPD systems based on risk tolerance and culture

What is a Multi-Chapter Meeting/Webinar?

This is a program formed in 2023 in collaboration with PMI-LA and other chapters to pool resources and share the burden of putting on virtual PDU webinars.
