the continuing adventures of yahoo's agile transformation by keith nottonson
DESCRIPTION
Yahoo! has become the premier digital media company with the top Sports, Finance and News sites as well as top rated original video content. Yahoo's Agile journey began as a grass roots movement before the pilot program it inspired began in earnest in early 2005. This presentation will describe the ebb and flow of Yahoo's Agile adventures using previously published case studies to show where Yahoo has been, we will examine where Yahoo is today, and suggest a course for tomorrow. This experience report will include challenges and lessons learned.Presented by Keith NottonsonTRANSCRIPT

You have to take risks. You have to venture beyondyour comfort zone. If something does not work thefirst time, you have to try again. If one thing does notwork, you have to try something else. You have to letthem feel pain. You have to keep it fun. And youhave to keep giving energy and love, because fallingdown hurts, but learning to run is freedom.
