We call it the Leadership Gift.

Agile at its foundation is a way of conducting work governed by a set of principles. Agile has been “productized” (different Agile Flavors) for specific work needs and special practices have been established to get the work done. With that said, most organizations feel they just need to teach their team the practices and get to work. The reality is that is a major mistake.

As a way of working, Agile is a monumental transformation. It requires the worker to engage in their work with a completely different mindset. It requires organizations to monitor and measure itself differently. Finally it requires managers to practice a completely new set of skills when it comes to “managing” their teams (the reality is you don’t manage your team any longer in Agile).

This seminar discusses the transformational challenge Agile presents to an organization. It will go over organizational change strategies necessary to make the jump, as well as cover different start up models instead of complete enterprise adoption. The goal of this presentation is to properly prepare an organization for the “human” challenges associated with the decision to move to Agile methods.

Presenter: David Mantica (LinkedIn profile) – David Mantica has more than 16 years of experience in business to business continuing education in executive, product management, marketing, and operations capacities. He has product managed the initiation, development and delivery of more than 300 instructor-led and live, online training courses, in software development life cycle, IT, telecommunications, finance, healthcare IT, and marketing industries.
