Agile Day
Moderator: Roman Pichler, Pichler Consulting Ltd.
Agile methods have entered the mainstream. Many projects worldwide use Scrum, XP or Kanban. But agile methods don't create success automatically. The Agile Day offers insights into what it takes to become agile and to be successful sharing real-life stories and experiences. It covers a wide range of topics from strategies to introduce agile methods and to overcome organisational inertia to managing agile requirements and coaching teams.

Paul Goddard
Geoff Watts
No big company has ever succeeded in an enterprise agile transformation. Does this prove what the sceptics have always said that Scrum doesn't scale to work in big companies? With inside experience of many large transitions, Geoff Watts and Paul Goddard will explore the red tomatoes of why some companies can't Scrum and the green peppers of why some companies won't Scrum.

More and more companies are advertising that they are 'agile'. Often this has little to do with agile development other than a belief that being 'agile' is a 'Good Thing'. On the other side of the coin there are teams and companies that aspire to being agile. This talk examines what it means to be agile and suggests shows how paying lip-service to agile can sometimes work, but more likely not.

A Kanban system is an approach to creating a method in order to improve a business's capability to meet its purpose. This talk will introduce five aspects of a Kanban system: workflow, visualisation, work in process, cadence, and continuous improvement. These aspects are not practices to be followed, but key areas to consider to change and improve an organisation’s delivery capability.

Return to Requirements: Meeting customer needs and delivering value in
Allan Kelly
Agile software development is great at delivering software but doesn't always pay enough attention to what the customer actually wants, needs and values. Sure there is a Product Owner or Customer role - but how often can you get a real customer? This presentation looks again at the role of requirements in Agile development. Where they come from, who gathers them, how they are assessed.

Ellen Gottesdiener
