We know that Agile brings unprecedented transparency to adopt ers - but this often exposes organizational dysfunction which has ‘alway s been there\,’ but often neither acknowledged nor addressed. This can r esult in one of the most disruptive transitions a company can go through . What to do? \;\n \;\n-How can we spare ourselves months of what seems like inevitable struggle? \;\n-What have some veteran Agile pr actitioners learned\, and done\, to accelerate their transition\, and re ap the rewards that have eluded others? \;\n-How have they measured s uccess? \;\n \;\nOur panel of Product &\; Development experts w ill share their experience and strategies\, to help you cross this minef ield successfully and faster. \;\n \;\nMark Bednarski has worked w ith iGrafx since 2007\, starting in Germany as a Business Process Consul tant 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 t ough learning curve\, which started to pay back just a few months ago. \;\n \;\nTony Aiello has spent 20 years in machine vision / fac tory automation engineering\, and 5 years in the movie business. He's regularly intrigued by how much these disciplines actually have in commo n from development / production viewpoints\, and gratified that the skil ls are transferable. \;\n \;\nWe will confirm the remaining two pa nelists early next week. \;\n \;\nQuestions?
