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.

Addressing Business &  Organizational Change

As Digital Transformation efforts sweep across Government and Corporate America, many enterprises are finding that the results of their Digital Transformation efforts are much less than expected.

A recent survey of one hundred Digital Transformation efforts internally measured using various criteria reported thirty percent of those efforts were deemed “successful.”

Corporations are finding that a key area of difficulty is analyzing the organization and how it needs to function in the digital world. Analyzing an organization today using standard techniques is little more than looking at the organization chart and “looking” for inefficiencies. In fact, the “traditional” organization chart tells us very little about how the organization actually functions.

In this webinar Samuel Holcman (LinkedIn profile) will present and describe some innovative techniques that can be used in analyzing how organizations need to address organizational transformation to provide successful digital transformations, beyond just technology change.

As a group, these techniques are described as part of B. (Business) I. (Information) O. (Organization) Transformation – BIO Transformation.

One of the most common misconceptions about Agile and the Agile Enterprise is that it started in 2001 with the publication of the “Manifesto for Agile Software Development,” aka the Agile Manifesto.

In reality, the concept of an Agile Enterprise started much earlier and originated in manufacturing. Unlike the popular frameworks like Scrum and XP, the original concept of Agile was developed for the Enterprise, rather than for a small team of developers.

In the Agile Enterprise, the change started at the top from the executives, and the goal was to adapt to rapid and significant market demand and change.

Those concepts and practices were defined for mass production to transform processes in enterprises with thousands of employees. At that time, Agile was seen as an evolution from Lean, and the process improvement was still managed in a traditional way, mainly using Lean Six Sigma concepts and practices like DMAIC, Theory of Constraints, Kaizen blitz, house of Quality, and Voice of the Customer.

Scaled agile frameworks like SAFe are basically a resurrection of those practices rather than a continuation of the Agile concept of “uncovering better ways … by doing it and helping others do it.”

In this webinar Stelian Roman (LinkedIn profile) looks at Enterprise Agility from a Project Management perspective, analysing the pros and cons of scaling-up and scaling-down Agility in the Enterprise.

Research demonstrates over and over again that the life span of the typical PMO is incredibly short. On average, about two or three years.

What that means is that the organization creates a structure, finds it wanting, and abandons it—all within an astonishingly short time period.

While the averages are sobering, however, not all PMOs suffer the same fate. Some continue. Some are overwhelmingly successful.  Not many, perhaps, but enough.

In this webinar Mark Mullaly (LinkedIn profile) author of Researching the Value of Project Management  explores what sustainable, stable PMOs do differently to reach that vaunted status.

In this webinar, participants will:

• Understand the challenges of developing PMOs
• Explore the reasons that most PMOs don’t last
• Identify the critical success factors behind PMO success
• Evaluate what it takes to make the bridge from startup to stable
