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.

The Responsibility of Leadership in an Agile Organization The core of any Agile practice is the team. A high-performing team can produce high quality work extremely fast, increasing customer satisfaction and reducing time to market. To build high-performing teams, management and leadership must adjust their behaviors to enable the teams to become self-organizing. But if teams are empowered to make decisions for themselves, and don't need to be driven, what's the job of management and senior leadership? This session answers that question and presents Agile leadership concepts that are key to building high-performing teams and a culture which enables them to flourish. 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.
What is Disciplined Agile? Where did it come from? Where is it going? How can it help me? In your organization, you are very likely using a variety of approaches to deliver solutions to your stakeholders. You might be using traditional waterfall, agile, or hybrid approaches. If you are applying agile methods or frameworks, you might be using Scrum, SAFe®, Lean Kanban, or 'roll your own' techniques. Regardless of what methods you are using, the Disciplined Agile (DA) tool kit can help you to be more effective. It is an agnostic, comprehensive library of strategies and practices, with practical advice for which ones work for in different contexts. Many organizations struggle to evolve an agile way of working (WoW) that makes sense for their unique situations. The good news is that you don't need to figure it out on your own. The DA tool kit leverages the experiences of thousands of teams who have already struggled through the very issues that our teams currently face. By referencing these strategies, you can accelerate your journey to project delivery success using a technique we call Guided Continuous Improvement (GCI). Learning Objectives This presentation explains the value of the Disciplined Agile tool kit and how to use it in practice with GCI across your entire organization, putting you on a path to true business agility. Learn what DA is and where it came from Learn about where DA is moving next Understand how DA can help you with your projects
An Introduction to Professional Scrum Although Scrum has been around for more than 25 years, it is still a new concept to many. Moreover, there are myths that arise. In this session, Eric Naiburg, Chief Operating Officer for Scrum.org, provides an overview of the Scrum framework. He'll discuss how Scrum enables agility, and how an empirical process can empower teams that use it. You'll learn about the empirical process in Scrum where decisions are made based on observation and experimentation rather than on detailed upfront planning. We will apply this learning using facts and real-world examples. This and other IIL Learning in Minutes presentations qualify for PDUs.

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.
