Project Everest: Agile Strategies in Leadership and Time Management

Throughout this interactive workshop, participants will explore various elements of agility and related agile methodologies in leadership and time management from a unique perspective that encourages innovative thinking and application of project management techniques. It is built around a world record that Alan Mallory and three members of his immediate family set on Mount Everest in 2008 and is based on a hybrid approach to agile which combines agile practices with traditional waterfall methodologies.

Testimonials

“Alan Mallory used the thrills of the ultimate adventure: Mt. Everest, to describe the key process areas of Project Management.  You could hear a pin drop in the room of 100+ guests as Alan detailed his spellbinding, and often, horrific, journey to the top of the world.  Rarely is Project Management explained in such life and death circumstances and Alan’s example is one that our members will reference for years to come.  His session will be difficult to match.”
