The Project Management Podcast - 5Saturdays - Teaching Life Skills using Agile Project Management | Episode 293

https://www.pm-podcast.com/293. This Interview with Dave Cornelius was recorded at the PMI Global Congress 2014 in Phoenix, Arizona. 5 Saturdays (http://www.5saturdays.org) is a program created to support non-profits and other organizations with outreach initiatives into the local community. It teaches life-skills to high school students using project management approaches from the Agile movement. The program emerged from curriculum created by Dr. Dave Cornelius while partnering with Holman Community Development Corporation in Los Angeles to introduce technology as a profession to urban high school students. The program achieved success, as students were able to explore career-focused areas such as information technology (IT) and grasp life skills that included: creative and critical thinking, effective communications, Agility using Scrum and Kanban, and root cause analysis using "5 Whys".
