It seems like every leader is asking for the big 'M' word now, but what metrics really should matter to them? Whether you're new to Agile or scaling Agile, you're probably thinking of how you will actually measure the health of the overall Agile adoption. Through this session we'll take a deeper dive into both the Qualitative and Quantitative metrics that should be tracked at the Team, Program, Product and Portfolio levels. We'll explore how some of these can provide predictive leading indicators (so you can catch problems before they happen) and some are lagging indicators (reflecting on what has already happened). 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.

Stuck on Your Agile Journey? - Become a Learning Organization Although the adoption of an agile framework may be a good first step on your improvement journey, your real goal is to become a learning organization. Learning organizations are capable of developing their own fit-for-purpose Way or Working (WoW), which may be a hybrid of approaches, that enables them to out-compete others. The Disciplined Agile (DA) tool kit teaches you what agile frameworks will not - how to choose the approach for the situation that you face, continually learn, and ultimately improve your WoW. DA includes improvement techniques for individuals, teams, cross-team collaborations, value streams, and your enterprise.
