Currently so much of agile adoption—coaching, advice, techniques, training and even the empathy revolve around the agile teams.

Leaders are typically either ignored or marginalized at best, and in the worst cases often vilified.

Bob Galen contends that there is a central and important role for managers and effective leadership within agile environments.

In this workshop, we’ll explore the patterns of mature agile managers and leaders. Especially those that understand Servant Leadership and how to effectively support, grow, coach, and empower their agile teams in ways that increase the teams’ performance, accountability, and engagement.

Bob will explore training and standards for agile adoption, and situations and guidelines for when to trust the team and when to step in and provide guidance and direction. We’ll examine the leader’s role in agile at-scale and with distributed agile teams.

• Good leadership is a central ingredient to sustaining your agile adoption.
• Bad leadership can render it irrelevant or a failure.

Here we’ll walk the path of the good, but also examine the bad patterns in an effort to inspire you and your teams.

Presenter: Robert “Bob” Galen (LinkedIn profile) is the President and Principal Consultant of RGCG, L.L.C and author of SCRUM Product Ownership – Balancing Value From the Inside Out. Bob has held director, manager and contributor level positions in both software development and quality assurance organizations.  He has over 25 years of experience working across a wide variety of software technology and product domains.

The world economy loses hundreds of billions of dollars annually because of failed IT/software projects.

Most managers focus almost exclusively on budget, schedule, and performance to determine project success.

Missing from most equations is the Cost of Quality. COQ is a powerful metric you can apply to every project and improvement effort. COQ exposes the hidden costs in any project, especially those involved in finding and fixing defects.

Learn how to use this robust metric, expressed in money, to demonstrate the value to the organization of any effort whether developing a system or implementing a productivity/quality strategy.

Use COQ to drive down the Cost of Failure and demonstrate ROI and cost avoidance and reduction.
