Driving Business Agility as a Leader at Scale Today's fast-paced business world demands leaders that can adapt to market demands and capitalize on opportunities. In a start-up mode or innovation lab, this seems possible. In a large, multi-national organization... not so much.Leaders get accused of being part of the frozen or pressurized middle where they have potentially unrealistic expectations from above. They can be viewed as overly bureaucratic or 'command and control' from the agile teams they work with. The reason is a mismatch between the tools and thinking of traditional management and the problem space of business agility. Come and see how to thrive as a leader in this new paradigm and the tools that can allow you to adapt for present and future business demands. 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.

Managing Risk on Agile Projects Most often, Agile training is focused on the team. While this is obviously a core concept, we tend to spend less time talking about how to manage the work. Without planning risks and dependencies, a well-formed team will quickly find itself mired in impediments, ultimately killing productivity. This session is a discussion of the built-in risk management capabilities of Agile, plus some additional practices we can use to manage and mitigate project risk.

P3O® - Are we doing the right things? To stay relevant, Project Management Offices need to reinvent themselves, finding new ways to help organizations achieve strategic objectives through agile project execution. The rise of Agile poses new challenges to organizations in terms of governance, resource allocation, capacity planning, portfolio selection, and prioritization. This presentation will teach you how to define and implement PMO functions and structures using AXELOS' P3O® model (Portfolio, Programme, and Project Offices). You will also learn how to combine PRINCE2® and Agile to balance adaptability and governance. Key Takeaways: Gain a greater understanding of the P3O model Learn from real-life scenarios how to adopt hybrid project management combining PRINCE2 and Agil

Scaling Agile Metrics - Tracking Metrics That Matter! Scaling Agile Metrics - Tracking Metrics That Matter! 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).

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. Knowing how to improve, and doing so effectively, is what enables you to become a learning organization. This and other IIL Learning in Minutes presentations qualify for PDUs.

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.
