Build Support for Moving From Projects to Products and Agile EST: 11:00 a.m. | PDT: 8:00 a.m. | GMT: 16:00 Over the past year, IT leaders have shifted from asking "should I move from projects to products" to "how do I get the organization to change." Many people in lines of business, executive management and even IT will be uncomfortable or even combative about making the switch from projects to products and agile. Concerns include funding models, perceived lack of control, and losing the iron triangle of scope, time and cost.
