Welcome to our Workshop!

Synopsis:
What’s the role of a project manager in an agile project? Is there a role? While many claim there is no need for a project manager - product owners and team members perform those duties - out here in the real world that direction may not be practical. Many product owners have full time marketing jobs and asking them to do the additional tasks needed for a project is just not going to happen.

Because of this reality, even companies that realize they need to hire a full time dedicated product owner are hiring people with project management background. Can you guess why? Yep, a rose by any other name is still a rose. So whether they’re called product owners or project managers there’s still a lot of project management tasks that need to be done.
