enterprise cadence - sustaining agility within your organization
DESCRIPTION
Enterprise-wide Agile transformations start with enthusiasm and dedication, and yet most transformations fail within one year from the start of the Agile rollout. We introduce a framework for sustaining and enhancing success of your Agile rollout, which we define in an acronym, CADENCE, which stands for C – coaching, A – assistance, D – development, E – engagement, N – networking, C – collaborative culture, and E – evaluate. In our presentation, we provide practical advice on how we made Agile CADENCE work for us in enhancing our Agile transformation, and suggest specific ways of making your Agile rollout successful on enterprise level. Presented by Ilio Krumins-Beens and Mariya Breyter at Agile NYC on 6/17/2013.TRANSCRIPT
