The SwissICT, largest IT and Communications association in Switzerland, has agreed to support an initiative from Ueli Kleeb, Reto Maduz (to name just of few the the interested people at Zühlke) and myself to form Specialist Group (“Fachgruppe”) Lean-Agile-Scrum.
The November Scrum Breakfast will serve double duty as the founding meeting for the Lean-Agile-Scrum Group. All people interesting in promoting and developing Agile and related practices are invited to join us.
For a special event, a special keynote: Manfred Reindl, Vice President Engineering for Borland’s Lifecycle Quality Management division in Linz will discuss with us:
The Journey Towards Agile
While agile practices are starting to make their way into large enterprises, in most instances this has been a “bottom up” movement driven through grassroots efforts. But, as success stories draw attention to the benefits of agile practices, an increasing number of executives are considering making a company-wide agile transition of the R&D organization.
What does an agile transition look like when it comes as a mandate from the top? How do you scale agile principles from a single team to an enterprise with multiple teams working on multiple projects? How can the use of development tools help to implement Agile in an organization? How to track the progress on agile maturity?
Manfred Reindl shares practical answers to these questions, addressing issues such as the role of management in creating an agile culture, establishing new roles such as Scrum Masters and Product Owners and how to introduce Agile in geographical distributed organizations. Manfred provides insight that can help you translate agile principles from theory into practice for your enterprise.
