Teaching an Elephant to Dance or Scaling Agile to Large Project TeamsVersionOne
Patterns and Practices for Delivering Software at Scale - a presentation from AgilePalooza Twin Cities: Steve Povilaitis has over 17 years of industry experience as a developer, analyst, and manager at progressively greater levels of responsibility. He has successfully led agile adoption, engineering, and software release management across a wide spectrum of organizations, from an internet startup to a Fortune 10 company. Steve was part of the leadership team during a large-scale agile implementation at GE Energy, and he is currently decisively engaged with guiding an enterprise agile transformation for a major internet retailer.
In a former life Steve was an Army Officer and paratrooper. When he's not helping organizations navigate the agile waters, you'll find him enjoying the calmer seas around his hometown of New Smyrna Beach, Florida.
The Art of SAFe ART/VS Design - Agile Boston Meetup - Feb 2016Yuval Yeret
How to map SAFe Agile Release Trains and Value Streams to your organization
Please join us on Wednesday February 24 in Burlington MA starting at 6:30 pm as senior enterprise agility coach Yuval Yeret describes how to map SAFe Agile Release Trains and Value Stream to your organization.
In this interactive session we will focus on an exciting aspect of the process of implementing a scaled agile approach. How to build those "Teams of Teams" that Scaled Agile approaches such as SAFe(tm) talk about. We will quickly review the purpose of the Agile Release Train and Value Stream constructs, understand ART/VS design considerations, and then work on a couple of case studies/exercises to see what the ART/VS design should look like.
NOTE: Yuval will bring some of his interesting case studies. AND If you are thinking about implementing a scaled agile approach yourself and trying to figure out ART/VS design, we would love to do a live case study in the session. You will get free expert consulting as well as the wisdom of the crowds to give you some potentially useful ideas!
SAFe (Scaled Agile Framework) 5 mins overview - Roni TamariAgileSparks
Why Scale? When choose each scaling approach? SAFe? LeSS? Enterprise Kanban? Other? Scaling experts will compare the different approaches, share from their experience and answer questions from the audience

Referral Program Lead Generation Proposal TemplateJoey Barker
http://get.unfunnel.com/lead-generation-proposal-template
This is a very “polished” new business sales template where 75% is an overview of your agile business model and 25% a teaser about the project, your approach and ballpark pricing.
Many RFPs are long-shots but if you can respond quick with a low amount of effort – it could pay off.
The goal here is to stay very high level, impress with integrity without having to do a lot of work.

An Introduction to Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe)CA Technologies
To compete in today’s application economy, organizations have adopted agile execution techniques. But is that enough? Learn about SAFe and how to leverage this methodology to elevate your agile teams to deliver quality outcomes and align at the enterprise level.

You have probably heard of Scrum, Kanban, Test-driven Development, or Extreme Programming methodologies, as well as Agile and Lean mindsets, most methodologies ignore or misrepresent the UX role. This is a hot topic in the UX community.
How do large multi-national corporations with complex products and systems deliver better quality in faster cycles and still respect UX? One scrum team won't cut it. One product owner won't be able to manage it either. Sitting next to each other isn't always feasible with distributed teams.
Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe), while somewhat controversial to "true scrum-ists", has helped many large organizations deliver better products and systems to customers more quickly. Even better, while SAFe includes the best of many other methodologies like Scrum, Kanban, and Extreme Programming, it also resonates quite well with design thinking and UX best practices. It also doesn't assume that software is the only industry in which this methodology can be successful.
Come learn more at the next UXDTN meetup where Karen Ballinger will show how SAFe and UX align, then lead us through an interactive session. Bring your imagination as we create a hypothetical plan for “Disney” executives considering their next vacation destination and themed residential community, right here in Dayton!
Introduction to Agile Project Planning and Project ManagementMike Cottmeyer
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.
