Speaker: Tony Oliver

“Agile doesn’t mean unprepared. A clear grasp of priorities and value packages being delivered will delight a project sponsor, but a lack of adoption is sure to damper any hard-earned kudos. What’s a BA or PM to do?

Tony Oliver will discuss some tips and tricks to ensure changes to processes are understood and implemented. We’ll cover communication and training strategies, as well as methods to avoid the dreaded change fatigue.”

We are looking for one or two people to be Project Managers for our Salmon Carcass DNA project during the coming salmon migration season in Auburn Ravine. By collecting DNA from salmon carcasses each season, we will be able to accurately estimate lineage percentages for fall-run Chinook salmon in Auburn Ravine. (How many are the offspring of salmon that spawned in Auburn Ravine, and how many are from hatcheries, or other streams?) 

Contact James Haufler jbwx@att.net

The Project Management role is mainly done via e-mail, telephone and/or text. It also involves coordinating the volunteers on some Saturdays from 9AM to Noon in Lincoln, CA. We are looking for two people to manage this project so that they can back each other up.
