Portia
Project Manager
“I really love the sensible way agile project management works. It's challenging describing my agile team's accomplishments in traditional project management terms - the way my company still expects.”
Portia is a seasoned project manager. She prefers agile development to her old attempts to force teams to conform to an overly prescriptive plan. But, her stakeholders still ask for the same predictability and schedule commitments. On her agile team she’s considered a ScrumMaster, but she still has lots of old project management responsibilities that don’t seem to fit into that ScrumMaster role.
