Learn from my 18 years of Project Management Experience. I've done it all - cowboy, waterfall, extreme, and agile scrum.

Learn why...

• Waterfall doesn't always work
• Agile has a place, but isn't the holy grail
• Cowboy can kill the relationships you have with your stakeholders
• How "Fixed Scope" is a lie
• That a combination of approaches is the answer

Project management requires a blend of techniques and tools to effectively shepherd projects from ideation to release. We'll explore and discuss different tools and methodologies that can help make your project successful.

Saunders first presented on this Topic at Drupalcamp Austin as one of the Keynotes. The presentation was updated for Drupalcon Denver and Munich. Learnings from working with Trellon and 5 Rings Web have informed a brand new iteration of this important subject.

Saunders has 18 years of project management experience at a variety of shops ranging from the Western States Arts Federation as Senior Director of Technology, pingVision as Senior Web Producer, one of several Principals in Vintage Digital, Senior Director of Technology at Examiner.com, as CTO for Trellon LLC, and is currently the COO of 5 Rings Web. He writes at Dogstar.org regularly - mostly on the business of open source and Drupal.
