Agile introduces a number of tools and techniques designed to help the team figure out how much software we can build for the time we have, and the amount of money our customer is willing to spend. This talk will introduce the fundamental concepts necessary to break down and estimate our product backlog, how to organize delivery of that backlog for early risk reduction and rapid customer feedback, and how to get stable throughput and predictability as you mature your agile practices. This talk is for those looking to understand how (and why) agile methods lead to better business outcomes

Areas covered include BURP (Big Upfront Risk Planning), daily risk management, and team involvement in risk identification. You will learn how to use traditional risk management in harmony with an Agile lifecycle and how to perform risk management at a level that minimizes waste and over-planning.

If we are to scale agility to large projects and bring agile values to organizations, then we must change performance measures.

This talk explores the necessity for and the rationale behind moving to this new set of agile performance measures

It is one thing to be knowledgeable about the rules of the game, but is totally another to perfect the agile approach as practitioners. The project manager along with functional managers can make a big difference by fostering an “agile mindset” beyond the immediate context of day-to-day project tasks.

Competitors are becoming much more dynamic--and it is no longer prudent to spend much time and resources without knowing that the final product will still meet strategic needs.
