Description:

Some organizations have done successful agile pilots and rolled it out to the
rest of the organization and failed. If it works for one team, it should work
for all, shouldn’t it? There are also early adopters that have had many
successful projects using agile, but are becoming complacent or have lost the
thrill of being on the leading edge of change.

One of the problems organizations face is changing their culture to embrace
agile projects. Management may buy into the idea of delivering business value
faster but dont realize their roles change too and need to change their views
and actions as well. They may not realize some the up-front investment in time
or training will pay off over time in higher quality and speedier development.

Janet will explore common mistakes that organizations make, and introduce
practices that can be used to help overcome them to create and nurture an agile
culture. Agile development is all about baby steps, celebrating small successes,
and continually improving. The right investment will yield a big return.
