Description:
The Agile Entrée – Agile’s First Course
Building on the topics of the Agile Appetizer, this workshop takes participants deep into twelve ingredients that contribute to Agile management of product development.
This is a stark contrast to the usual “Here’s how you do Agile” approach. This workshop is about “Here’s WHY you want to be Agile”, and how Agile approaches deal with the underlying problems of highly creative technological development.
We’ll use a mix of concepts and concrete application and practice to ensure that participants can return to work with new tools, useful to them immediately, regardless of whether their workplace relates to itself as Agile or not.
This is a workshop suitable for people at all levels of experience with Agile approaches.
Takeaways
• How a company benefits financially from using agile approaches
• How to reveal and measure predictive metrics of business value
• Techniques to drive out waster
• Why agile approaches are effective, and why they are necessary
• Why up to 70% of people are not engaged at work and how agile practices can transform their experience
• Practical tools to make sense of work and thereby improve the product, the process, and workers’ experience
• And much more!
We know agile development is "the difference maker." Now let’s make that difference!
