From Project Manager to Value Leader: Thriving in an Agile World

Join us for an exciting lunchtime virtual presentation on how Agile has reshaped the way organizations deliver work - but what does that mean for today’s project management professional?

In this session, we explore the evolution of the PM role from traditional delivery oversight to strategic value leadership.
