Talk description
Title:
Mind the Dogma! - Helping others to “be Agile”
Short synopsis:
Too often both individuals and organisations learn about Agile and decide to enact change, only to get caught up in trying to "do Agile” as opposed to “be Agile”. The difference, whilst subtle, can be hugely significant in the success of any delivery transformation exercise, and the mistakes that are made when people are asked to “do Agile” can be extremely damaging, often resulting in a delivery failure. Join me as I share my experiences in helping a number of clients to “be Agile”.

Long synopsis (optional):
In my day-to-day role for ThoughtWorks, I am regularly asked to work with organisations that want to improve their software delivery capability. However, quite often they have already started down a path that is almost entirely focussed on ensuring that everyone is encouraged to “do Agile”. In this presentation, I will share these experiences of dealing with these organisations who took the wrong approach, providing a number of anecdotes to highlight the “bad smells” I often find, and what was required to address the mistakes. I will also provide a number of recommendations for how to deal with these scenarios, whilst providing plenty of time for questions and discussion.
