Custom Workshop on Scaling Agile Across the Enterprise
Scaling Agile Workshop Summary
Many companies say they have been doing Agile for many years, but we almost always find that they either have a few teams or departments doing Agile or they are just implementing a few processes of Scrum development. We find the entire enterprise has not fully aligned with the Agile methodology. Our coaches do believe hybrid methods of agile and waterfall in an enterprise, but there is a successful way to implement the hybrid model too. Adopting Agile as an enterprise is even more complicated than a few teams and usually takes a lot of help from an Agile expertise or coach.
In this workshop our coaches will go over the best practices of enterprise agile adoption. This includes how Portfolio, Program and Project management fits into Agile Management and how to scale the Agile practices across the enterprise. After this workshop, depending on the size of the organization, most organizations will need additional hands on agile coaching or even an embedded coach to become successful in your transformation. Coaches have to assess an organization and create a comprehensive roadmap for scaling Agile across the enterprise.
What You Will Learn in Our Scaling Agile Workshop:
- How to coordinate all agile teams in cohesion
- How to align all teams with management, executives and stakeholders
- How to deal with distributed teams
- How does an enterprise work in a hybrid agile methodology, using both waterfall and agile?
