Government IT projects are often prone to failure, and too often, the blame falls on CIOs and IT leaders. Much of the cause of project failure is usually unrelated to the IT department itself or the technology.

It can be attributed to an unwillingness or inability of senior government executives to engage in effective decision making, poor IT investment decision-making processes, and the failure of government executives to take responsibility for change management.

Yet, how can government IT leaders impact factors that seem beyond their control?

Join Michael Brown (LinkedIn profile, Gartner bio) Gartner Sr. Director Analyst  & Michael McFerron  (LinkedIn profile) Gartner Sr Director Analyst

to identify the six causes for government IT project failure, and how government CIOs and It leaders can address them.

Discussion Topics:

• Discover ways to engage government business/mission units for a shared outcome
• Create a structure of constant communication between government leaders, stakeholders and vendors
• Empower product managers and business stakeholders to deal with changing conditions

Have you ever wondered why innovative organizational leaders and high-performing developers, product designers,

UX specialists, etc. – who are otherwise excellent at what they do – are slow and hesitant to adopt Agile methodologies?

Agile transformation is a hot topic right now, but many organizations rush the implementation process without pausing to assess and address foundational issues.

The truth is, new hires or new Agile teams aren’t entirely convinced that Agile methodologies can support their expertise and simplify their day-to-day tasks. They perceive Agile transformation as “just another thing” their company is trying and are reluctant to commit.

In this workshop, Aina Aliieva (LinkedIn profile) will present a road map that will help agile practitioners and executives interested in agile transformation identify the root cause of resistance of new Agile teams and new hires.

Aina willl also look at the challenges Agile evangelists such as Scrum Masters, Agile Coaches, and POs face in implementing these methodologies.

The goal is to get all Agile stakeholders aligned with a company’s or a product’s vision and reframe how Agile is seen and used by everyone involved. After this interactive presentation, Agile specialists, executives, and product owners will know exactly how to facilitate Agile transformations with a culture-first approach, supported by coaching, mentorship, and the right kind of accountability (avoiding micromanagement).

The result?

Teams who truly believe in the potential of Agile methodologies and continue to incrementally incorporate them in their work without resistance, thus accelerating their learning curve.

Learning Outcomes:

• Uncover critical challenges faced by Agile evangelists such as  Scrum Masters, Agile Coaches, and POs in implementing Agile methodologies in their company or teams
• Understand the importance of learning by failing fast (based on key takeaways from the Dunning-Kruger effect and Dreyfus Model of Skill Mastery)
• How to facilitate a culture shift in the organization to make Agile transformation easier
