Meeting Topic: Agile and the PMBOK®

To many observers, Agile and the Project Management Institute PMBOK®
seem about as far apart as Jay-Z and Andy Williams. In reality, the
differences are not as great as they might appear. This presentation
will compare Agile with the PMBOK® and will describe how the two can
co-exist peacefully and productively.
