Mark and I are lucky enough to spend a few weeks in India this March. In addition to speaking at Agile India 2019 we’ll also be running several Disciplined Agile workshops and a user group presentation one evening. Here is our schedule in both Pune and Bengaluru.
Pune:
- March 16&17. Workshop – Implementing Disciplined Agile Delivery. Delivered by Mark Lines. This is our new workshop that works through how to use the DA toolkit to choose and then evolve your way of working (WoW). You’ll learn how to break out of “method prison” if you’ve hit the limits of Scrum or SAFe, and more importantly how to take an agile approach in an enterprise-class setting. This isn’t “purist agile” but instead is pragmatic and agnostic.
Bengaluru:
- March 19. Conference Presentation – Choose Your WoW! How Agile Software Teams Can Optimize their Way of Working. Presented by Scott Ambler. This presentation goes into how your team can implement kaizen improvement loops effectively by taking a guided continuous improvement approach through applying the DA toolkit.
- March 20. Conference Presentation – Agile Transformations: The Good, the Bad, and The Ugly. Presented by Mark Lines and Scott Ambler. We’ve been helping organizations to improve their way of working (WoW) for years. In this presentation we’ll share our experiences regarding what works and what doesn’t work in practice.
- March 20. User Group Presentation – Choose Your WoW! How Agile Teams Can Optimize Their Way of Working. Hosted by Mark Lines and Scott Ambler. This presentation goes into how your team can implement kaizen improvement loops effectively by taking a guided continuous improvement approach through applying the DA toolkit. Get your questions answered for how to break out of the “method prison” you likely find yourself in with Scrum or SAFe.
- March 23. Workshop – Disciplined Agile in a Nutshell. Delivered by Mark Lines and Scott Ambler. This is a quick overview of Disciplined Agile Delivery (DAD) and the DA toolkit. This is a great way to come up to speed on DA and to prepare for the DA certification test.
- March 24-25. Workshop – Implementing Disciplined Agile Delivery. Delivered by Mark Lines and Scott Ambler.This is our new workshop that works through how to use the DA toolkit to choose and then evolve your way of working (WoW). You’ll learn how to break out of “method prison” if you’ve hit the limits of Scrum or SAFe, and more importantly how to take an agile approach in an enterprise-class setting. This isn’t “purist agile” but instead is pragmatic and agnostic.
If you’re based in India we hope you can make it out to one or more of these events. If you have colleagues in India please pass this along to them as this may be a great chance for them to learn about DA from the source!
