Facing competitive pressure, many organizations launch an initiative based adoption of Agile practices.  Often they launch without preparation to support complex agile team configurations at the enterprise level.

Organizational impediments can hinder team productivity. Hearing the voice of the team through the lenses of performance, leadership, culture, foundation and clarity will help grow an Agile team environment that is fully supported in process refinement and engaged leadership.

Assessing the Agile Mindset can be approached by several methods.

These methods will be discussed in terms of trust, transparency and growth potential.

In this session Colleen will examine:

  • Real world pain points that hinder achievement of the Agile value
  • A framework for growth: measure, evaluate, grow
  • Case study results
  • Additional resources

Presenter:  Colleen O’Neill, PMP, CSM, SP 4.0, CCMP, (LinkedIn profile) is an Agile Practice Leader for SPL. In this role Colleen brings outstanding strategist experience specializing in innovation for process improvement and IT delivery. With 25+ years experience as a portfolio, program and project professional, Colleen has developed a unique blend of technology expertise, leadership and business strategy perspective to provide innovative solutions to meet business needs.

    It is no surprise that agile projects are very fast pace. Whether your sprint is two, three or even four week, there is barely time for the team to do user acceptance testing the way we know it.

    It is not possible to involve business users and SMEs to perform UAT at the end of each sprint.

    The Use of a UAT-Specific Sprint as suggested by some practitioners has its own drawbacks.

    In this presentation, Dr. Magdy Hanna will present an overview of a proactive UAT process that utilizes real business scenarios. The process will also help minimize the risk associated with the UAT-Specific Sprint approach.

    Presenter: Dr. Magdy Hanna PhD (LinkedIn profile) is a recognized educator, speaker and consultant in several areas of software engineering. His highly rated seminars in various topics over the last thirty-five years have spanned various aspects and capacities of software projects and processes.

    He has trained over 50,000 professionals around the world over the last 20 years. As a professor of Software Engineering at the University of St. Thomas , he taught graduate courses on several software engineering topics with emphasis on practical software quality techniques.

    Dr. Hanna developed new approaches and methods in software engineering including the Scenario-Based Development and Testing (SBDT), Requirement-Based Project Management (RBPM), Software Quality Engineering Methodology (SQEngineer), the Unified Data Model (UDM), and the Data-Driven Object Model ( DOM ). Dr. Hanna and his instructors conduct hundreds of free online webinars each year.

    Dr. Hanna also served as Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Software Test Professionals, a publication of IIST, now the Bug Free Zone.

    Dr. Hanna is Founder, CEO, and Chairman of several organizations:

    • Subtle Market Changes Impact Your Talent Strategy#StorytellingTuesday

    #StorytellingTuesday

    Once upon a time … actually, many times (this story gets told often), an organization desperately wanted to grow a part of its business, but it could never crack the code in the market.

    And in this particular market, time was running out.

    The groundwork was complete. The team was assembled. The market looked great, and the slow growth the organization had experienced in the past was finally seen in the rear-view mirror. The leaders congratulated each other, confident that a year later their company would be in a much different and better place.

    What those leaders didn’t know was that in a land far, far away (or right down the street), a different group of people was launching a new technology that would alter the way their product was received, or a different group was establishing new social norms that would change the demand for their product, or a different group was debating new government policy that would change customers’ ability to access the product.

    These changes would necessitate changes in business strategy, which, if implemented soon enough, would allow the organization to continue to grow amid these shifts.

    But our heroes didn’t know these changes were coming.

    They just kept coming to work every day and talking to each other about how to execute their strategy, not realizing until it was too late that it was getting harder every day. And so, the organization – let’s call it Blockbuster Circuits R Us, stopped growing and eventually ceased to exist at all.

    But that doesn’t have to be the end of this tale.

    In this webcast Dr. Jenna Filipkowski (LinkedIn profile) Head Of  Research (HCI) & MaryFran Heinsch (LinkedIn profile) Research Analyst, (HCI) will write new endings for this story by:

    • Learning the elements of environment scanning
    • Understanding which factors present the greatest risk
    • Beginning to adapt talent strategies to mitigate these risks
