How Effective Teams Can Scale Agile in the Enterprise

Presented by Chris Knotts, Cprime Learning

 

When the agile movement first saw broad adoption, there was tremendous success at the team level. It didn't take long for large organizations to run into challenges seeing that same type of success in larger, more complex initiatives. This presentation is an introduction to the expanded principles of agility intended to harness the effectiveness of agile teams and bring better organizational alignment to larger efforts built upon the effectiveness of highly agile teams.

This presentation focuses on how to expand the practice of agility to an enterprise level, based on the principles of lean and value stream management. Chris will review these key points:
    • Why highly performing agile teams are a good start towards implementing transformational work, but are only the beginning
    • How lean program and portfolio management enables enterprise-wide agility
    • The basics of how to prioritize, coordinate, and manage multiple streams of enterprise work
    • How and why finance and funding practices must change to align with enterprise agility
    • The difference between applying lean concepts for innovation and experimentation, vs. applying them to mainline work at scale

Bringing Data to L.I.F.E. and Life to Data

Presented by Dr. Joe Perez, Chief Technology Officer, SolonTek Corporation

 

What does it mean to bring data to life? Does data take on a “LIFE” of its own, or does it have to be nurtured, prodded, refined, pushed, and pulled along the way? Why should we even care?  Marketing and customer experience expert Jay Baer once said, “We are surrounded by data, but starved for insight.”  Although it has been said that exabytes of new information are generated on a daily basis, how much of that data is actually meaningful? Does volume necessarily translate into value? What vision can we bring to bridge this gap?

 

A recent study involving more than 500 IT decision makers in the US and the UK found that businesses are missing out on $5.2 million in revenue due to untapped data.  Your data are only as powerful as the business decisions they fuel. In this session, discover the four “L.I.F.E.” pillars of relevant data that will bring meaning to these masses of numbers.  Catch the right blend of left-brain logic and right-brain ideas.  Recognize the value of answering questions you know and exploring questions you don’t know.  Find out how to turn obstacles into opportunities as you bring data to L.I.F.E. and life to data.

7 Steps To Reclaim Your Scrum Master Super Power

Presented by Nagesh Sharma and Ravi Verma

 

Over the years, we have trained, mentored and coached hundreds of Scrum Masters. As we reflect on our experience, one truth seems to stand out - many Scrum Masters we meet are driven by a purpose.

 

Being a Scrum Master is not just a job for them. It is a calling to help others. It is a calling to live by principles and values higher than the principle of survival. The Scrum Master is accountable for the Scrum Team's effectiveness and they are most fulfilled when they are truly honoring their calling.

 

Unfortunately, in some organizations that claim to adopt Scrum, a Scrum Master is not always fully respected and they are only responsible for scheduling meetings, typing up notes, and being a management enforcer to deliver on-time, on-budget and ever-increasing scope projects. Being trapped in such roles can really affect the morale of purpose-driven Scrum Masters and they are unable to really utilize their super power of supporting the Scrum Team. But what can Scrum Masters do to avoid this pattern? If you are interested in the answers to this question, please join us in this webinar.

 

In this webinar, Professional Scrum Trainers Nagesh Sharma and Ravi Verma will share seven concrete steps that purpose-driven Scrum Masters can take to avoid and escape this trap while reclaiming their Scrum Master superpower.

BA Career Series Webinar: Software Development Pearls of Wisdom

Presented by Karl Wiegers, Author, Principal Consultant at Process Impact  

 

Experience is a powerful teacher, but it’s also slow and painful. Software practitioners can’t afford to make every mistake others have suffered. You can compress the education and bypass much of the pain by absorbing lessons from others who have already climbed the learning curves.

 

Based on my more than 50 years of software experience and 25 years of helping software teams succeed in nearly 150 organizations, the book Software Development Pearls presents 60 lessons you can apply to projects regardless of the application domain, technology, development lifecycle, or your role. These pragmatic principles, perspectives, and practices cover six crucial domains of project success: requirements, design, project management, culture and teamwork, quality, and process improvement.

 

This presentation briefly introduces 24 of the 60 lessons and drills down into six additional lessons. Collecting such pearls of software wisdom can pay off quickly for anyone striving to build high-quality software products, whatever their project role may be.

 

Audience: Public

Date/Time: Thursday, January 20, 2022; 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm EST

Host: Bluegrass, Albany Capital District, Austin, Bay Area, Calgary, Cincinnati, DC Metro,
