The Business Case for Agility

Many times, We have had great sweeping conversations about the future of a process or product. Unfortunately, those conversations are often behind closed doors, and are had multiple times with different groups of stakeholders attending.  What if we opened the doors and brought all the stakeholders together and left an open microphone in the room?  That question led to this conversation and having both a business and technical/process perspective as we deconstruct some of the most difficult decisions for product teams.  Whether you’re a technologist, product owner, agilest, or executive this discussion will be informative and transformative to your own future conversations.

In this session we will be diving into the business case for agility. The industry opinion on agility ranges from it being a panacea for all organizational problems, to being about happy teams, to being a rigorous process of waste elimination. In this session, Don McGreal ( world renown Agilist ) and I are going to explore the nuances of agility, and why it will matter to your business. If you have ever tried to convince your business why agility is more than a stand-up meeting, then this session is for you.
