Topic: Agility@Scale: Become as Agile as You Need to Be


Overview:
Agile software development techniques are being adopted within the majority of organizations around the world and are now being applied “at scale” in very complex situations. This presentation shares data from recent industry surveys as to the adoption rate and success rate of agile techniques, overviews the Agile Scaling Model (ASM), and explores scaling issues such as geographically distributed teams, regulatory compliance, large teams, organizationally distributed teams, technical complexity, domain complexity, enterprise issues, and organizational challenges. Agile approaches enable you to achieve greater quality, improved return on investment (ROI), reduced time to market, and significantly easier governance although require greater collaboration, teamwork, and discipline on the part of IT professionals and business stakeholders.
