Managers at many levels are often afraid to let go of the reins in fear that they may lose control of the project. This interactive presentation will display the benefit of managers letting go, and will outline the expectations of a responsible, empowered agile team. Through presentation of multiple real-world scenarios and years of project management experience, session attendees will have an opportunity to embrace the fact that often times our very human nature is the one impediment that prevents us from being a better manager or team member.
