Breakfast of Champions – Succeeding with agile against organizational odds
45 Mins
Case Study
Intermediate
"Culture eats strategy for breakfast" (Peter Drucker) and snacks on agile teams before lunch. Join two agile veterans as we examine the cultural traits of two clients and their very different responses to our team's agile practices. You'll journey with the product owner and technical lead as we contrast how the same agile practices built momentum and trust with one organization, while producing a demoralizing failure with the second. Come away from this session with a list of organizational characteristics to consider when introducing agile to an organization. We'll also share some lessons learned that you can use to navigate different organizational attitudes.
