Different circumstances require different project approaches. Sometimes we need a piece of plan-driven, other times we need a bucket of agile. But we are always in need of Project Leaders that know how to handle all available project strategies.
That is way I am very excited about the recently founded PMI Agile Community of Practice. It’s one of the latest communities of the Project Management Institute, the largest Project Management organization with a strong “plan-driven” tradition. The new community aims to equip PMI Members with Agile skills and knowledge.
In this episode of The Project Shrink Podcast I am talking to Jesse Fewell, one of the people involved in starting the community.
We discuss what PMPs can learn from agilist and vice versa; and what people can expect from the new community.

For those of you visiting Agile 2009 in Chicago this month (August 2009), the PMI Agile Community will be there promoting their launch.
