This and other IIL Learning in Minutes presentations qualify for PDUs. Some titles, such as Agile-related topics may qualify for other continuing education credits such as SEUs, or CEUs. Each professional development activity yields one PDU for one hour spent engaged in the activity. Some limitations apply and can be found in the Ways to Earn PDUs section that discusses PDU activities and associated policies. Fractions of PDUs may also be reported. The smallest increment of a PDU that can be reported is 0.25. This means that if you spent 15 minutes participating in a qualifying PDU activity, you may report 0.25 PDU. If you spend 30 minutes in a qualifying PDU activity, you may report 0.50 PDU.

Enabling Agility by Measuring What Matters Sally is simply a transformer-someone who is passionate about helping teams and organizations do what they do better.

Use Fast Feedback to Accelerate Business Agility w/ David Grabel Software engineers get feedback from their development environment and automated test suites in real-time. Errors can be fixed and verified in minutes. However, when organizations extend Agile beyond technology, feedback from stakeholders takes days and the 'feedback frenzies' can drag on for weeks or even months. Completing a story within a sprint seems impossible. It is time for 'the business' to dramatically reduce lead time and stop getting blamed for delays. This talk will show you how to quickly create a value stream mapping with your team. This map will expose needless delays and help you find ways to shorten cycle time to minutes, reducing overall lead time by 80% or more. It will include a way to overlay feedback loops on the value stream map, which can help you find the source of significant delays. You will also hear how creative teams are adapting mob programming techniques into their work in ways that build feedback into their processes in order to accelerate delivery from business teams.

Bridging the Gap with Agile Learn how a large cloud-computing enterprise used Flawless ExecutionSM, a remarkably scalable agile business framework, across diverse business teams including their Marketing Team, Legal Team, C-Suite and even the Sales Group functional teams that are notorious for avoiding agile methodologies. As part of a major merger, the company sought to unite two sales teams that were not strategically aligned and didn't have a customer-focused mindset. Just as agile methodologies help developers keep the customer at the forefront of the conversation, this sales organization used the agile techniques and practices of Flawless ExecutionSM, to align around the customer's needs, scale best practices, and shift the culture to a more customer-centric mindset. Result: after an abysmal first half in 2016, the team rallied together after implementing Flawless Execution as their process of record over the summer and beat their sales forecast by 17% in Q4. This had an impact on morale for the 22,000-person company and even increased the stock price by 10%. This and other IILLearning in Minutes presentations qualify for PDUs.
