PGE’s IT uses these to support six internal lines of business with their project and production suppor t needs. PGE started the agile journey in 2009 in aid of a large scale m ulti-project initiative to roll-out network read meters for our customer s. Over the subsequent three and half years\, that experience was extend ed into where PGE’s IT delivery is today. Scaling to the enterprise requ ired the synthesis of many different viewpoints\, overcoming the deficie ncies of agile training as applied in larger circumstances\, and fabrica ting new processes and tools to enhance and manage the value of delivery . During this talk Mark will share highlights of what was valuable\, wha t was a struggle\, what he would do the same if starting over\, and what he would do differently. \;\n \;\nBio: \;\nMark Menger is a p assionate leader in the adoption of Scrum at Portland General Electric\, believing strongly in the underpinning concepts of servant leadership a nd self-organization. He led four Scrum teams and the enterprise archite cture function of PGE’s multi-million dollar Automated Metering Infrastr ucture initiative. As the supervisor of Application Delivery Services\, he is currently scaling PGE’s adoption of Agile software delivery to 14 teams across six business client functions. This effort includes busines s client relationship development\, and improvements in quality assuranc e and engineering practices. When he’s not rooting for the Timbers\, the remainder of his attention is focused on Sailflow reports for the Colum bia and Willamette rivers.\n\nTags: agile\, software development\, agile adoption\, beaverton\, it\, agilepdx\, Information Technology\, Aloha\n \nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250463013 URL:http://agilepdx.org SUMMARY:AgilePDX Westside (morning) - Mark Menger "The Agile journey at P GE" LOCATION:Nike World Headquarters: 1 Bowerman Dr\, Beaverton OR US SEQUENCE:4 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20121127T221810Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20121211T090000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20121211T073000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20121127T221810Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20121204T231136Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250463141 DESCRIPTION:Diana Larsen (co-author of "\;Agile Retrospectives"\; "\;Liftoff"\; and"\;Virtuosity"\;) will lead participan ts in a personal retrospective by helping each person ask the question\, "\;How am I doing?
