Agile Projects Using Microsoft Project?  Yes!
by  Matthew DavisNo presence information  on 9/15/2011 12:54 PM

​No question that Agile Project Management is hot!  And rightly so!  With the speed of business requirements reaching new heights, the need to deliver project value more quickly us stronger than ever. 

So, of course, we decided to bring our technology expertise to the conversation by featuring Agile techniques for Microsoft Project on the September Project Talk show.  For those of you who don't know about ProjectTalk, it's a monthly web-radio show produced and sponsored by PM Providers on the MPUG Web-Radio Network.  Free and available to the public!  Just visit www.mpug.com to register and logon to the next program!

But back to the point - Yes, contrary to popular belief it is possible to manage Agile projects with Microsoft Project including managing sprints, backlogs, and even producing automated burndown charts. 

Contact us if you'd like to know more about it!
