The Agile Coach is a relatively new role; it is not very well defined and often overrated.

From the first concept of ‘coach’ introduced in Extreme Programming (XP) which was more of a system architect to the Scrum Master in the service of the Team and the organization, the role morphed in many organizations to a pure consulting role.

Most modern Agile frameworks are created as empirical approaches based on a very simple principle: fail fast, learn faster.

1. What is the role of an Agile Coach in an Agile transformation?
2. What skills and experience are required to add value to the process?

These questions among others will be addressed in this webinar.

In this webinar Stelian Roman (LinkedIn profile) presents his 20+ years’ experience in implementing Agile for software teams and later his experience as a Project Manager and Scrum Master working with Agile Coaches.

This talk introduces:

• The new role of the Digital Design Professional,
• The reason for its emergence within Requirements Engineering industry, and
• IREB’s new certification scheme to enter this new profession.

The possibilities of digital technology enable innovative services and all-new business models and thus lead to comprehensive and disruptive changes in the economy and society. Digital transformation is an umbrella term for this development.

Previously, analytical skills were particularly important in order to understand existing systems, companies and business processes.

This understanding was the prerequisite to support and improve them with the help of digital technologies. Digital transformation is different because there is no reference point for analysis. The growing popularity of Design Thinking is the first sign of this development.

Due to the increasing technical possibilities (e.g. artificial intelligence, blockchain….) we have to complement our analysis focus with a design focus. New roles and methods are far from sufficient to meet these challenges. We need an entirely new profession: The Digital Design Professional.

Only in this way can Requirements Engineering and Business Analysis become an industry that is positioned to proactively design innovative digital solutions together with our stakeholders and under consideration of the new technical possibilities.

Presenters: Kim Lauenroth (LinkedIn profile) PhD (Requirements Eng.) is first chair of the International Requirements Engineering Board (IREB) e.V., and chief requirements engineer at adesso AG, one of the leading IT providers in Germany, Switzerland and Austria. Kim has 15+ years of experience in software and requirements engineering in different domains and in various roles including requirements engineer, project manager, and consultant. As first chair of the IREB, he is responsible for the overall strategy and long-term development of the IREB. As chief requirements engineer, he is responsible for the overall quality of RE methods in his company and helps his customers to develop effective and pragmatic methodological cultures for software development.

At a European conference on privacy, Apple CEO Tim Cook previously stated that, “Algorithms that promised to improve our lives can actually magnify our worst human tendencies.”

Each day, Cook said, money changes hands and countless decisions are made on the basis of personal preferences that reflect our diverse backgrounds, values, fears, goals, hopes, and dreams for the future.

The profile that is created from your digital footprint can give companies incredibly sophisticated insights into who you are, and when that profile is run through algorithms that then expose you to content that is increasingly extreme, your “harmless preferences” can be transformed into “hardened convictions.”

This fear of letting data and algorithms run wild — free of scientific oversight and human conscience — is well founded.

In this session David Hammond  (LinkedIn profile) discusses hiring impacts; the future of both organizations and people, and how it should be grounded in theory, science, and rationality.

View this webcast to learn:

• How to realize the promises and avoid the perils of big data and automation in hiring
• How the current climate of privacy concerns and emerging regulations can be navigated to optimize hiring safely and appropriately
• How to base hiring decisions on principles rooted in a documented job focused analysis, while leveraging the power of big data and cloud computing
