ACP Presentation - Agile versus Traditional Project Management

In today’s world of fast paced technology and continually changing requirements and project scope, the need for Agile Project Management has greatly increased. Responding to this demand, the Project Management Institute launched the PMI-ACP certification. The result of this fast growing certification is the creation of a new space where Project Management and Agile Practices for Software Development meet. How does this affect traditional project management?
What is Agile Project Management and when does it make sense to use it? What are benefits of using Agile methods and when is it not a good fit? How does Agile relate to traditional project management? Are there similarities, or do I need to relearn everything I know about project management to lead Agile projects?
This presentation provides an overview of a number of Agile methodologies and details their benefits, weaknesses, and when they are commonly used.
