Kanban: Sustainability for Your Teams, Agility for Your Business Credibility is not granted with a job title. Authority, maybe, but credibility must be earned. Leaders are losing credibility in Agile adoptions. They seek training and education for teams asking them to use Scrum or another Agile framework. The very same leaders then announce programs, policies or structures that directly contradict Agile and Scrum values and principles. This can hinder leadership's credibility and subsequently, their organization's Agile adoption. In this session, we explore some of these common leadership mistakes and how they can be avoided for greater success with Agile and Scrum.

Beyond One Happy Team: Self-Selection for a Better Culture The talent shortage is real. According to CareerBuilder research, 60% of US organizations today can't fill their open positions in 12 weeks or more. Combined with a high turnover rate, this leads to a massive loss of profit opportunities.How can we create a culture that attracts people and keeps them engaged, motivated, and well-jelled with their teams? And after they join, how do we build resilience into our teams and the organization? Empowering people to choose their own teams - a 'self-selection' - is a great vehicle to build happiness, resilience and a better culture.In this session I will share stories from running successful self-selection events in New York, Dublin and Chicago, and how I prepare technology teams and management for their first self-selection events.

Portfolio as a Value Enabler: How to Make It Real A portfolio as a value enabler is not easy to achieve. It requires not only good process, practices and the right competencies in place but it also needs a change in the mindset of those involved in managing the portfolio. Quite often, a portfolio is not perceived as a value enabler but a necessary administrative burden. But how it can be perceived differently if it is presented as a collection of projects and programs or a massive Gantt chart? In order to change that perception and turn it into something tangible, portfolio management must apply principles of investment management. With this principle, it can turn into a great vehicle to drive business objectives. This and other IIL Learning in Minutes presentations qualify for PDUs.
