Title: Extreme Project Management

Abstract:
My presentation centers on successfully accomplishing projects and satisfying customer
expectations in environments not conducive to practicing and performing best practices in
project management. This presentation brings out the skill sets that every project manager
must know for the negotiation of resources, working with the customer, and guiding the
project team through a hostile project management environment. I use concepts developed
by Doug De Carlo in his book "Extreme project management," and methodologies practiced
in Agile Project Software Development to provide examples of performing best project
management practices in less than ideal project development environments.
