45 Mins
Case Study
Beginner
Many organizations struggle with failure and turn to Agile as a game-changer. But how do the dynamics of government magnify the challenge of Agile adoption? Through this 45-minute case study of the "SBA Certify" program, the start of the US Small Business Administration's Agile journey, we'll
- Describe what triggered SBA's transition to Agile from waterfall software development
- Explain how key players from the SBA, USDS and 8(a) contractors Telesis & Enquizit led the transition to Agile
- Review the combination of tools, technologies and practices that led to the successful launch of certify.sba.gov in just seven months
- Cover how the SBA has built upon the success of certify.SBA.gov to become a leader in Agile adoption among small government agencies
In addition, co-presenters Aditi Dussault (former SBA Deputy Chief of Staff), Phil Jones (Telesis) and Donald Patti (Cedar Point Consulting) will propose a framework for understanding government inaction, helping others to make radical, transformative change in government possible.
(And, of course, we'll also explain Button Bear).
