Individuals and interactions over processes and tools
Working software over comprehensive documentation
Customer collaboration over contract negotiation
Responding to change over following a plan

the right, we value the items on the left more.”

8. Project Manager Stereotypes
• Slaves to the schedule
• Don’t really understand
how hard software is.
• Want me to spend all
my time “updating
status”
• Man, and I thought the
testers were anal!
9. Project Manager Changes
• Where is the new job
that fits our role?!
• We may be asked to
become Scrum Masters
– An *extremely* different
view of a project
• I’m still being asked to
ensure a project will be
on time
• Focus on scope instead
of time…feels weird
10. Where’s the new job?
• Product
Owner/Customer
– Might be a shared role
– Represent the
project/product to the
business
– About more than the
schedule, but schedules
still matter
