2009 Session: Why your Agile roll-out is failing
Thursday, 13:10 - 14:00
Track: Aspects Of Leadership
You read the books. You went to the talks. You even paid for the 3 day course. Then you rolled out Agile across the organization. What could possibly go wrong?
Why, after 18 months, are you not seeing the better-faster-cheaper results they guaranteed you? And where can you get your money back?
Rather than paying for yet another Agile consultant to come in and tell you how you're doing it all wrong, come along to Dan's talk about the most common failure modes he encounters in Agile adoption.
Prerequisites
You might pick up some tips for how to start putting things right, and if not at least you'll know that everyone else is making the same mistakes as you.
Expectations
* Small print: Timescales may appear smaller in hindsight than they actually were. Neither better, faster nor cheaper is guaranteed. No refunds are available on Agile snake-oil.
