Scaled Agile
Agile began with the promise to make smaller project teams more able to react to ever changing customer requirements. But what if your project is big? I mean really, really big. Can we have scaled agile?
This interview about Scaling Agile with Andrew Burns, PMI-ACP, PMP, was recorded at the Project Management Institute (PMI)® Global Congress 2016 in San Diego, California. We discuss his paper and presentation Dragon Scales: 50 Teams Scrumming -- Implementing Adaptive Project Management Practices at Scale. Here is the abstract:

Product portfolios can easily scale to 50 teams or more in meeting large organizations’ needs. Large portfolios with strong foundations are derived through values-based leadership. The technique links corporate and individual values to scientific principles. Scientific principles inform us that change is constant and therefore adaptation defines good practices. Values-based leadership’s agile practices take root, thrive, and adapt at the pace of business change.

The three-hundred software engineers considered herein innovated within a portfolio of 18,000 colleagues. Their agile, adaptive product development practices continue to evolve from plan-driven provenance. Leveraging agile practices at the portfolio, program, and project level continually unleashes innovation, quality, and throughput of value. Though contextualized in terms of software product development in the 2010s with Scrum, the message of innovation through values-based adoption of scientific principles is timeless and framework unallied. Implementation of practices observant of values and principles endures as a way to deliver the best products regardless of toolset.
 
Ask Cornelius
Question: It is time again for me to seek your guidance.
As I am in the 3rd year of my continued association with PMI®, certified since 2011, i require to earn 60 PDUs by July 2017 when my credential may be expiring. .
I have not raised any PDUs for this quarter 3 year period yet as part of CCR program. I have the following as my contribution during the past years:
  1. Working as a practitioner - as Project Manager with ITC for last 2 years
  2. Have taken a course with around 15 hours of learning
  3. Have taken online learning courses as videos? Including YouTube videos, educba etc.
  4. Reading articles
  5. Participation in organization meetings
As I recall, these have been my involvement in project management please guide me on how I can apply for PDUs against the above points. How much PDUs can I earn? I am planning to take another course in a short time in Dec/Jan.
Please guide me in completing my pdus for this 3 year period.
Hopefully I am not at risk of not being able to accumulate 60 PDUs
