Agile's Easy, The Adoption of Agile Isn't Agile's easy, but the adoption of Agile isn't! Having spent 20 years at the front line of Agile adoptions, spanning organisations ranging from small to Enterprise in both the Private and Public sectors, this presentation will highlight some best practices for Agile adoption, including: the importance of understanding the organizational and cultural landscape, how to avoid the common bear traps and how to lay the foundations for a sustainable adoption. 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.
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? Ha, it's been around for years! Think Agile is just another Silver Bullet for the IT folks? Wrong. 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.
