Is Project Management Relevant in Agile? - a podcast by Co-hosted by Sam Zawadi and Ali Asl

In this episode, we discuss the ever controversial topic of Project Management and Agile. It's a long time pet favourite for certain "agilists" to bash project management and decry it as the Spawn of Satan. The Anti-Agile Agent. The Destroyer of Organisations. The Waterfall Bringer... you get the picture.

But what is the distinction between the practice of project management and the role of the Project Manager? Are all Project Managers hierarchical Waterfall-ists trying to usurp every Agile initiative that gets in their way, or can project management be a leading indicator towards agility? We wonder how useful it is to think about project management in this way and we speak about some of the experiences we've had working with project managers and project management in general.

Given that one of your co-hosts has done plenty of work as an Agile Project Manager in the past (yes, mind blown, and hint: it's not Ali) this makes for an interest exchange of ideas.
