Ironic ally, they are very costly, as well. Project-based costing continues a s the management accounting approach of choice within Agile transforma tions, even after two decades of proven success with Lean and Agile al ternatives. In addition to the costly overhead, project-based costing contributes to delivery unevenness leading to waste mostly in the form of multitasking. It contributes to a mindset of anti-patterns resulti ng in overburdening of the people involved.\r\n\r\nThere is an easier way, and this presentation will recommend a field-tested approach base d on activity-based costing techniques adapted to the Lean-Agile parad igm of fixed cost + fixed time + variable scope value stream delivery on a cadence. It will explore the valid reasons for resistance by fina ncial and accounting departments to change in favor of pure activity-b ased costing, Beyond Budgeting, and Lean accounting. It will then pres ent a field-tested integration approach which favors enabling Lean-Agi le decision making over the mechanics of budgeting, time reporting, an d variance tracking.\r\n\r\nAttendees will leave with practical ideas which they can implement immediately using only a spreadsheet and bulk data export from an Agile Lifecycle Management tool such as CA-Rally, CollabNet-VersionOne, or Jira Agile.\r\n\r\nThis presentation will be about 60 or 75 minutes long.\r\n\r\nMeeting Location Cerner in Malve rn\r\nDirections  http://www.agilephilly.com/page/directions-to-meet ings#Cerner \r\n \r\nSpeaker Bio - Info:\r\nDavid Hughes has taught over 7,000 people world-wide since 2003, with prior college-level teac hing experience at four universities.
