Scrum Transformation for Publicly Traded Companies Scrum for Publicly Traded Companies shares what the Scrum Inc. team has learned about maximizing investor returns with Scrum, valuations and acquisitions and spinoffs with scrum, and completing initiatives with high investor scrutiny. Our presenter, Joe Justice, will be focusing on examples from Tesla, 3M, and Toyota. 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.
Big Agile: It's Not Just For Small Projects Anymore One of the stereotypes of Agile approaches is that they only work for small projects. However, over the last several years, Agile techniques are now being applied to increasingly larger and more complex environments. From the largest telecom in Europe to the largest chip-maker in the world, large organizations are changing the way they do work. But how is this possible? How does self-organization work for a thousand people? How do programs run without plans? How can a massive solution go to market in a matter of weeks? In this illuminating session, we will explore both a common, repeatable approach and case studies from the real world. Come learn both recent trends and actionable tips for growing out of small Agile to big Agile. This and other IIL Learning in Minutes presentations qualify for PDUs.

Maximize your ROI with Value Stream Mapping How can we provide greater value to our customers while eliminating delays, improving quality and reducing cost? Customers seek to pay for products and services that meet their needs and using Value Stream Mapping, a company can identify which activities deliver true value to the customer, and continuously optimize these activities. Embracing Value Stream Mapping brings value to the forefront of every decision a team makes, and well-defined value streams keep the entire team focused on the ROI throughout the delivery lifecycle.

Showing Up to Be Your Best Every Day Your Organization is Agile...YAY! You are working in a prescribed framework (Scrum, Kanban, etc.) YAY! You are a part of a Dynamic team...YAY! You are all set and running as a defined High Performing team NO! So, what is in the way? Erin will help answer that, it isn't just a team problem. Through her experience in Agile environments, Erin realized many organizations check all the boxes for implementing agile, but forget the most important which are the behaviors. Over the years, Erin has started to focus on the behaviors needed in an agile environment. In this session you will look at questions like: what gets you excited? What makes you frustrated? What motivates you? How are you showing up? Are you owning your day or renting it? And why reflecting on these matters! Erin will provide tools that we will use to identify personal behaviors and statements that you will be able to use not only within your profession, your team, your organization, but also in your daily life outside of the office. Are you ready to show up to be your best? Learning Outcomes Uncover behaviors needed in an Agile environment. Tools that can be applied immediately after the session to help uncover challenges, strengths and possibilities Taking time to be introspective.

A Practical Guide to Introducing Agile "Don't throw your baby out with the bath Water(fall)". This is not a deep conversation about Agile v Waterfall or where to use them (that is for other talks and much deeper thinkers /agile purists). Instead, this talk acknowledges that the world we are living in is complex, where every delivery is different and not binary, i.e., Agile or Waterfall. This talk is aimed at "Non Agilists" and focuses on how they shouldn't be scared of agile and that it isn't about throwing away everything you have learnt from delivering in a more traditional/Waterfall way. It is about building on them and embracing the true mindset and heart and soul of Agile. The key takeaways of the session include: An introduction to some of the basic concepts of agile and which to focus on first How to start your journey from "Non Agilist" to a person that can deliver irrespective of environment Some of the real-life examples and approaches that have been successfully used kick start the journey for both individuals and teams
Agile: The One Bandwagon You May Want to Jump on! Bandwagons, you gotta love 'em. When something's hot, everyone wants in! And this is the case with Agile, a framework for getting stuff done with some pretty impressive results.Think Agile is just for software? Think again. Think Agile is new?

It's being used in marketing, hardware development, sales, and many other applications.In this presentation, LeRoy will describe what Agile is, how and when it's used, and the benefits it offers to those who muster up enough gumption to turn the traditional notion of project management on its head.

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.
