The Agile Enterprise Is A New Type Of Organization!

A collaboration-based environment where some of the ‘command and control’ roles are not only obsolete but also can be a roadblock for the Agile transformation.

The natural fear of change combined with protecting privileges or the job itself resulted in labelling as ‘Agile’ roles that are not only not defined in any Agile framework but are also the core components of the “waterfall” approach.

An “Agile” PM that manages an “Agile” project team where:

  1. The “Agile” BA writes requirements (called now user stories)
  2. Then the “Agile” UX specialist designs the user interface
  3. Then the “Agile” Architect analyse the “User Story”
    • and assigns it to the “Agile” Developer
  4. Who will pass the “increment” to the “Agile” Tester (sometimes wrongly called “Agile” QA engineer)

This not an uncommon “Agile” implementation.

Agile is a new and better way of building products, a radically new approach with a single role responsible for the design, build (including testing) and deployment called “Developer” and one person responsible for requirements definition and prioritisation called “Product Owner”.

This webinar addresses what a real Agile Team should be with real world examples of Agile teams.

Online Webinar – Recorded – Aug 21, 2013
Activity Type: Education – Online or Digital Media 1 PDU – Free
Provider:  Journyx Inc

This webinar gives attendees a chance to:

  • Learn what it means to be ‘Agile’
  • Understand how to apply Agile concepts to all sorts of projects
  • Learn the benefits of a set of proven Agile practices (sometimes callCBPM) and how to learn more about them

Agile recognizes that creating value in today’s environment means adapting not just between projects but within projects.

While Agile evolved mostly in software development environments and is often viewed as a software only approach, the need to adapt to create value exists just as strongly in non-software environments.

Agile suggests an array of practices consistent with key principles and core values, but it can be difficult to combine the right set of practices to ensure success and a positive start down the Agile path.

This presentation demonstrates specific practices for applying Agile concepts to all sorts of projects.

It starts by reviewing the Agile concepts and then provide examples of Agile practices (and tools) applied to both software and non software projects.

It will also describe how this particular set of Agile practices (called Commitment-based Project Management – CBPM) evolved at Intel Corp. in the mid-1990’s.

Online Webinar – Recorded Apr 11 2019
Activity Type:  Education – Online or Digital Media 1 PDU – Free
Provider: Gartner Webinars

The digital revolution typically assumed a world without borders, where everything is connected to everything, and where the use of technology — first and foremost — must scale.

But…

  • Is this larger narrative of “Globalization” holding up? Is “Capitalism” still our main narrative upon which we base our prosperity beliefs?
  • And are we even moving beyond “Humanism”, by giving AI a place in society?

There seems to be doubts in many circles. One thing is clear: Your digital transformation needs to serve a certain purpose — a business purpose and a societal purpose.

But what if that purpose is not connected to globalization anymore? Join this webinar as an expert panel of Gartner experts discusses whats next and what the digital society will look like.

Discussion Topics:

  • How different macro-societal views lead to different angles towards digital transformation
  • Various cultures different reactions to the idea of a global narrative
  • How you can contribute to the debate on what we want our Digital Society to look like

Panelists:

Debra Logan, (Gartner bio) VP & Gartner Fellow
Leigh McMullen, (LinkedIn profile) Gartner Managing VP
Dale Kutnick (LinkedIn profile, Gartner bio) Gartner Senior Vice President
Bettina Tratz-Ryan (Linkedin profile, Gartner bio) Gartner VP Analyst
