The widespread challenges organizations have with scaling Agile supports the belief many of us in the Lean-Agile and Kanban community have that it’s not that people are doing Agile wrong that’s the challenge, but rather Agile is missing a piece of the puzzle – one that is needed for enterprise-wide success.

Net Objectives’ has been helping companies achieve enterprise Agility for over 7 years and has observed patterns of challenge.and patterns of success as well.

These patterns of success occur when certain principles are followed and certain practices manifested. They have described this as the “Net Objectives Lean-Agile Roadmap”. Net Objectives Lean-Agile at Scale and the Team: The Value Stream Series – discusses going through different phases of the value stream.

Net Objectives has decided to add this special session that focuses on both the reasons the classic Agile bottom-up approach won’t work along with a short overview of the Lean-Agile Roadmap.

This session covers:

• Focus on realizing business value incrementally
• Focus on sustainability of realizing business value
• How the Scrum model is just a small piece of the enterprise puzzle
• Why you must continually prioritize across the product backlog
• How to manage dependencies across projects
• Why and how to pull work into teams from shared backlog
• Why the product owner role is insufficient at the enterprise, and what new role is required

Leadership Dynamics That Drive Business Breakthroughs

Disruptive innovation and change are no longer the exceptions, they’re the norm. If we’re not proactively forging novel paths that change the game, someone else will—and then we’ll be forced to adapt to their new rules.

Many leaders are not formally prepared with the fortitude required to lead through the deep uncertainty that characterizes periods of disruptive change. Join us to discover how leaders often ignore the very thing that could lead them to game changers—the power of surprise.

This program will explore:

• Leadership dynamics that drive success or result in failure
• Competencies essential for driving disruptive innovation
• How to leverage uncertainty to find strategic direction
• How to create a culture that supports disruptive thinking and innovation

While attending this program is FREE, reservations are required.

We encourage you to register even if you are unable to attend live; you’ll receive replay information following the event.
