Title:
Scaling with Agile: Sprinting to Success in Your Organization!
Short synopsis:
If you're rolling out Agile to new teams or looking to mature and scale your Agile adoption, this session is for you! I will share the multi-year journey of starting at the team level then scaling our Engineering organization comprised of hardware and software engineering teams at Lifesize, a maker of video, audio and web conferencing solutions. I will share common learnings and tips for starting the process of moving teams one by one to the agile scrum model, then scaling by utilizing quarterly program increment planning and demos. These practices helped Lifesize deliver better products, break down organizational silos, develop trust and transparency across the company, and help teams reach their full potential.

Long synopsis (optional):
Before using scaled agile, our Engineering department was seen as under-delivering against constantly changing business needs. What was really missing was transparency. Fast forward 2 years in, our executives know exactly where we are and understand our delivery targets based on our velocity metrics and performance metrics at the scaled level. Our scrum teams walk to the same beat. We know what knobs to turn in real-time now that we have real-time schedules at the program level using agile tools that are heavily integrated and automated. I want to share with you what worked and what did not work while scaling my organization to the next level of predictability and delivery. It's a fun journey!
