Agile Implementation: The Cultural Revolution
"In the inaugural meeting of Agile Austin, we learn that revolutions can be bloody. Some will thrive and some will die. Agile implementation in a company with deep roots in ad hoc and waterfall traditions is nothing less than revolution. Some say transition can be evolutionary, but in our experience this doesn't describe the radical cultural, mental and behavioral transformations that have to take place across an organization.
This presentation will describe in gory detail our experiences in implementing agile methodologies in many companies. We will discuss revolutionary topics such as:
* Kill your product managers!
* Align your forces of support, maintenance processes, launch, and distribution
* Emerge from chaos by not only embracing change, but embracing failure!
Getting a vivid view into our experiences of implementation can help you to roll out agile methodologies at your organization. We invite you to join us."
