Keep Austin Agile 2017

Because they have a fiduciary responsibility to the performance of their organizations, executives demand a greater level of assurance that what you plan to do is actually going to work and want a line of sight to how Agile is going to help them make things better.

This talk is going to explore a safe, pragmatic, and repeatable formula for leading change in large organizations. The Holy Grail for an executive is to tie dollars spent and activities performed to internal improvement metrics and ultimately improved business performance.

We'll start by discussing the elements of an Agile transformation business case and how to identify a meaningful value proposition for change. Throughout the presentation, we'll explore the change management and engagement techniques necessary to make sure you are building meaningful organizational support as you engage the enterprise. The goal of this talk is to show you how to systematically and planfully introduce agile into your organization.
