SUMMARY:Collaboration, Evaluation, and Iteration: The Agile Approach to Project Management in Libraries
LOCATION:Online via Zoom
DESCRIPTION:Collaboration, Evaluation, and Iteration: The Agile Approach to Project Management in Libraries\n\n08/18/22 10:00 AM EST\n - 08/18/22 11:30 AM EST\Description:\nWe have all heard the saying, “If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again.” This is the essence of Agile Project Management. In contrast to more traditional project management methodologies, Agile puts the emphasis on consistent collaboration, evaluation, and iteration throughout the project lifecycle to increase the possibility of a successful deliverable. Much of the work done in libraries is in the form of projects (e.g., a new program, the redesign of a space, or a library-wide collection audit). In this webinar, we will discuss Agile Project Management and the benefits of utilizing and adapting this methodology when embarking on a new library project, big or small.  \n\n \n\nLearning Objectives: \n\n\n	Understand the principles of Agile Project Management and how they compare to other methods of project management.  \n	Examine the benefits of utilizing Agile when managing library projects.  \n	Explore possible adaptations of the Agile method and discuss the process of implementation. \n	Discuss specific examples of library projects and how Agile could be applied.  \n\nPresenter:  \n\nRagan Snead is a Continuing Education Coordinator at the Northeast Ohio Regional Library System and has over 10 years of experience in public and academic libraries. She has a passion for staff development and helping library staff reach their full potential. In addition to her work in various areas of librarianship, Ragan has also helped library staff and patrons navigate new and evolving technology. She received her MLIS from Kent State University and her MBA from Lake Erie College. \Details:\nWho Should Attend:  Anyone interested in Agile Project Management\nCompetency:  Project Management\n\nNon-Member Cost:      $40\nNEO-RLS Bronze Member Cost:  $24\nNEO-RLS Silver Member Cost:   FREE\nNEO-RLS Gold Member Cost:    FREE\nNEO-RLS Individual Member Cost:  $20\n\nCan't attend on the date or time listed?
