Hosted (likely in July 2023) by Norm Eckstein and Vadim Katsman, leaders of IMC’s Chicago chapter, the material will acknowledge that when it comes to project management methodology, there are only two games in town, i.e., Waterfall and Agile. The material proposes a third game, “Elegance.” Robert will share a brief history of the methodologies, explain why they made sense in the past 50 years, and why software-centric methodologies are counterproductive for today’s innovation teams. Robert will share the origin story of the Elegance methodology, explain the merits of a people-centric methodology, and dig into details of the three metaphors of the Elegance methodology.
