DAN LE FEBVRE on: SUSTAINING AGILITY
In simplest terms, Agile adoption is about change. Changing our team structures, changing how we make decisions, changing how we deliver software. As we know, however, Agile adoption is anything but simple. Yes, frameworks like Scrum and Kanban can be simple to understand, but implementing them effectively in the real world can be daunting.
Attend this session to get a deeper understanding of the forces at work during an Agile adoption. We’ll show you how the status quo attempts to maintain itself and how to go about installing mechanisms the help you slide the staus quo toward Agile’s desired state. A state of sustainability.
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
- Agile transistion dymanics through Force Field Analysis
- Designing and developing impediment removal mechanisms
- Managing fear and conflict during Agile adoption
- Creating internal communites of practice
- Adopting Agile in the annual project planing process
