The fact that he is a practitioner lends lot of credibility to his recommendations. During the seminar, Craig strongly debunked PMI approach of software project management. But after listening to the entire seminar, one cannot but observe the similarity in PMI and agile approaches: # The topic of 'cone of uncertainty' is covered extensively in Rita mulchahy's PMP prep. # PMI speaks about building teams and allowing teams to form , storm, norm and then perform, something that Craig mentioned about 'self organizing teams' # PMI practitioners speak eloquently about using visual techniques in requirements, design and planning discussions and explain that visual techniques elicit participation and help in attitude management. Craig strongly advocated visual techniques as a tool to elicit conversations # Both PMI practitioners strongly rejected MS project as a planning tool! So, the point i'm making is that for an un-initiated participant, after attending this seminar, they may summarily dismiss PMI while there are certain reasons why a PMI training may still be relevant I attended a seminar on the same topic in Bangalore, 04-Aug-2006 and the above points were cogently explained by Craig Larman.
