Companies who have ‘gone Agile’ often experience several failure modes. We know that Agile brings unprecedented transparency to adopters - but this often exposes organizational dysfunction which has ‘always been there,’ but often neither acknowledged nor addressed. This can result in one of the most disruptive transitions a company can go through. What to do?
-How can we spare ourselves months of what seems like inevitable struggle?
-What have some veteran Agile practitioners learned, and done, to accelerate their transition, and reap the rewards that have eluded others?
-How have they measured success?
Our panel of Product & Development experts will share their experience and strategies, to help you cross this minefield successfully and faster.
Mark Bednarski has worked with iGrafx since 2007, starting in Germany as a Business Process Consultant and Six-Sigma Black Belt. He transitioned into Product Management in October 2013 when he transferred to iGrafx headquarters in Tualatin, OR. iGrafx goal - to reduce the release cycle from 18 mos. to 6 mos. - required major changes in both Dev & PM processes, which Mark will lead to completion by the end of this year. This goal screamed for an Agile approach, causing Mark to learn and discover on his own – a tough learning curve, which started to pay back just a few months ago. Prior to his work at iGrafx, Mark work at Siemens in Dubai and at a German TV & cinema advertising company.
Tony Aiello has spent 20 years in machine vision / factory automation engineering, and 5 years in the movie business. He's regularly intrigued by how much these disciplines actually have in common from development / production viewpoints, and gratified that the skills are transferable.
We will confirm the remaining two panelists early next week.
