From Project to Product: Unlocking Product Agility
Presented by Anne Steiner, Vice President, Product &
Technology, Cprime
Adherence to time, budget, and scope has been the gold
standard measure of project success since the beginning of time. Most of the
time we are super happy if we even get two of those! Now, as the digital world
shifts from thinking in fixed-time period projects to ongoing product efforts
with associated teams, markets, and horizons, adherence to time, budget, and
scope has little do with the actual success of an initiative.
In this talk, Anne Steiner, VP of Product and Technology at Cprime, talks about
the challenges and advantages companies and teams unlock when they apply
product thinking over project thinking. We’ll explore topics like team formation,
budgeting and planning, and reducing cycle times in order to fuel continuous
product learning. You’ll be challenged to think beyond traditional project
management norms and to elevate the delivery of value as the gold standard for
success.

How Scrum Guide Updates
can Help Organizations Increase Value Delivery
Panelists: Derek Holt and Danny Presten of Digital.ai, and
Eric Naiburg of Scrum.org
The new year is finally here! And it is time to start
understanding the new version of the Scrum Guide released in late November.
Now, with organizations looking for ways to have a bounce back in 2021 and
greater agility helping them lead the way, a question must be asked. How do
Agile organizations recognize value and what can the Scrum Guide updates teach
us about connecting outputs to realized value?
Join Digital.ai and Scrum.org for this discussion-based
webinar to learn the updates to the Scrum Guide you need to know, why they
were updated, and what they mean for your Scrum Teams moving forward. We’ll
also discuss:
• Why value is the ultimate measure of
success
• How certain tools better enable your
organization to measure value across Scrum Teams
• Why Agile organizations need to be
all-in on delivering outcomes in 2021

Planes, Trains, and
Automobiles: Learnings from Ken France’s Personal Agility Journey
Presented by Ken France, Vice President, Scaled Agile,
Cprime
In celebration of the 20th year of the signing of the Agile
Manifesto, I thought I would share my professional journey which has been
centered around application development and agility. I will explain how planes,
trains, and automobiles are directly tied to the long and winding road I
traveled from an application developer with a computer science degree to the
Head of the Scaled Agility Practice at Cprime and a SAFe Fellow.
This session will highlight things I’ve learned and done along that way and
share experiences and insights that may benefit others in their professional
journey. My talk will feature some “cameo” appearances from well-known industry
icons who have influenced and supported me. I believe the audience will find
their inputs insightful and amusing.
We'll leave some time for comments and Q&A. My goal is to entertain as well
as provide the attendees with some nuggets that might help each one in their
own personal and professional journey. I hope you can join me!
Audience: This talk is for everyone, from beginners to experts. Knowledge of
agility is not required to benefit from the talk. Experienced participants will
likely be able to take away and apply more of the insights, ideas, and
learnings.

The Business Analyst
and Blockchain Technology
Presented by Steve Blais, PMP, PBA
How can we trust people we don’t know to perform transactions
correctly, completely and accurately on the Internet? The answer to that, at
least for now, is the Blockchain. The Blockchain is more than simply the
mechanism by which Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other digital currencies function.
Blockchain has worked its way into many organizations, primarily financial, but
also into supply chains and any other form of business that conducts
transactions. So what does that have to do with the business analyst other than
finding requirements for Blockchain? Blockchain technology has amazing
potential: it could create entirely new foundations for global financial,
economic and social systems.
This webinar discusses the current usages of Blockchain and its potentialities.
It also addresses how the business analyst can fit in and take advantage of the
Blockchain.
Topics:
• the Blockchain is more than Bitcoin
• using Blockchain technology as a
transaction ledger
• current uses of Blockchain technology
• the business analyst’s application of
Blockchain technology
• the future of Blockchain technology and
how the business analyst fits in
