Session Title

The Complexity in the Simplicity of Agile

How to become Future Proof

Abstract

How Agile are you? What about your organisation? Are you doing Agile and struggling to get real benefits? Are your trying but not able to get into real end-to-end delivery? Do you want to work for Agile but does the business not get along? Do you want to do Agile but your IT is excluding you?

Agile itself is basic and easy to apply, so it seems. Still so many people and organisations struggle to get real benefits, to do real end-to-end delivery of production viable requirements, to read, deliver better business value, to really deliver earlier. What is the underlying cause and how can you do this?

This is the complexity in the simplicity of Agile. Arie will talk you through his journey of getting successful in Agile Transformations and how he does it.
