As a change agent you will learn few critical tips or tricks from my experience and implement them in your transformation journey at your organization.
Exploring Agile Transformation and Scaling PatternsMike Cottmeyer
The goal of any enterprise agile adoption strategy is NOT to adopt agile. Companies adopt agile to achieve better business outcomes. Large organizations have no time for dogma and one-size-fits-all thinking when it comes to introducing agile practices. These companies need pragmatic guidance for safely and incrementally introducing structure, principles, and ultimately practices that will result in greater long term, sustainable business results. This talk will introduce a framework for safely, pragmatically, and incrementally introducing agile to help you achieve your business goals.
Leading a large-scale agile transformation isn’t about adopting a new set of attitudes, processes, and behaviors at the team level… it’s about helping your company deliver faster to market, and developing the ability to respond to a rapidly-changing competitive landscape. First and foremost, it’s about achieving business agility. Business agility comes from people having clarity of purpose, a willingness to be held accountable, and the ability to achieve measurable outcomes. Unfortunately, almost everything in modern organizations gets in the way of teams acting with any sort of autonomy. In most companies, achieving business agility requires significant organizational change.
Agile transformation necessitates a fundamental rethinking of how your company organizes for delivery, how it delivers value to its customers, and how it plans and measures outcomes. Agile transformation is about building enabling structures, aligning the flow of work, and measuring for outcomes based progress. It's about breaking dependencies. The reality is that this kind of change can only be led from the top. This talk will explore how executives can define an idealized end-state for the transformation, build a fiscally responsible iterative and incremental plan to realize that end-state, as well as techniques for tracking progress and managing change.

The ROI of Scaling Agile - How to justify the investment in terms your CFO wi...Steve Elliott
You know the benefits of moving through an Agile transformation but the inevitable question always comes up - Does Agile really improve cost, schedule, productivity, quality and customer satisfaction compared to traditional methods?
Join Scott Blacker, VP of Products at AgileCraft and Phillip Manketo, Senior Agile Consultant at Eliassen Group, for an one-hour session as they share insight into how to justify your Agile investment.
Qu'est-ce donc que l'Agilité déjà ?
Quelle est la différence avec Scrum ?
Je fais quoi avec mon Gantt ?
Est-ce que le Web est un bon candidat ?
Pourquoi est-ce que je vis autant de difficultés ?
Par où dois-je commencer ?
Cette introduction (ou ré-introduction) vise les vendus et les désabusés, les initiés et les nouveaux intéressés. C'est un rafraichissement sur l'agilité qui permettra de faire un petit pas en arrière et mieux préparer les prochains. Pour certains, ce sera un retour sur les fondements de l'agilité et pour d'autres ce sera la satisfaction d'une curiosité qui perdure. Avec plus de dix ans d'expérience, l'agilité a maturée mais pourquoi reste-t-elle difficile à maitriser ?

Agile software development methodology is sweeping the IT Industry. Many organizations are experimenting with Agility and there are many “brands” of Agile including Scrum, XP, Lean, Crystal Clear and DSDM. Adoption of one of these methodologies could be wholesale in the case of a small well defined project that has no dependencies on other projects and can be completely delivered by a trained and motivated team. As these types of adoptions are rare organizations are looking for ways to ease into Agile practices without losing productivity.
This session is designed to discuss and identify ways that agile enablers can facilitate the transition to Agile practices. Participants learn basic Agile practices as well as techniques for introducing them to the software delivery team. This session will present common software delivery problems and the Agile path to solutions.

Improving Agility with amazing insights from Indian MythologyCoffee Talk
Agile Coaching concept is relatively new to us, but coaching has been a part of our culture since 2000 years. This session is an attempt to open those hidden treasures and enhance our true coaching culture. This is an attempt to see and learn from those stories told to us by our parents, grandparents to help us understand Agile coaching and create a great future to self.
Workplace Happiness – Is Business Agility taking us towards happy workplaces?Coffee Talk
With the increase in population that separates ‘work’ from ‘life’, as if work is absence of life, it becomes increasingly important to study about what happiness means to people at work, so that they can be made to feel alive in their offices too. This session is aimed at introducing two interesting research studies that aimed to do just that.
This session does not just explain these two research works but also will find the commonalities between these and will engage the audience with discussions using leading questions, thereby bringing out personal examples that they can relate to. This session will also help us understand if Business Agility keeps us happy in the true sense.
Its Organizational, Not Individual Intelligence that matters!Coffee Talk
Organizations can create structures to organize and manage better. But soon these structures become smaller organizations within themselves and compete. This doesn't stop at sub-organization (like Business units) level but becomes culture and each layer behaves the same. Each layer works for it's existence and survival. Imagine what happens to organization where every entity is locally focused and forms its own culture code! So the question is how to get out of this power centered culture? How to create true Business Agility enabling culture in organizations? Deepti Jain tells us how in this is session.
We all agree that BizDevOps (or Agile Technical) practice is something we would love to follow in the products we build.
Ranjith Tharayil addresses the question, "are BizDevOps practices just good to have or is it a must?" If it's a "must ", do our teams understand the urgency to change their thought process? As leaders are we motivating them enough and enabling the right environment to help embrace it?
Faster time-to-market, better quality and higher efficiency - Organizations have been moving towards Agile predominantly because they realized that delivering features of the highest value can lead to bigger and better successes. But then the ground reality said something else. The success rates were not as high as one would have desired! What could be the reason?
One aspect that many organizations miss out on or don’t pay enough attention to is customer validation with early and continuous feedback.
When launching a new product or a new product feature, you need to ensure that you have given your product (feature) not just your love but also have taken it through feedback and improvement before you have launched it fully.
Arun Jayaraman sheds light upon some such practices that ensure that you improve your product success rates significantly without impacting your existing capacity and bandwidth.
Are you a Coach, a Consultant or a Mentor?Coffee Talk
On asking around or searching online, one will find that the Coach is more than just a Coach and a Scrum Master’s role is not limited to removing impediments. They have motivational, consultative, facilitation and educational roles. And what more, they have to switch hats multiple times based on the needs and situations in a given team.
In this talk Deepak Gururaja will help us in distinguishing between theses situations and the switch of roles a Change-agent has to make accordingly.
Is there an Indian Approach to Agile Transformation?Coffee Talk
These slides took the audience of Agile Coffee Talk Bangalore through Speaker Jeff Lopez's experience of Agile and agility in India. Jeff feels that India, with its history of adapting to various challenges and invasions over its thousands of years of existence, surely could teach the world about transformation.
This is a first-person perspective of Agile transformation at scale. How one of the largest technology departments in BNY Mellon / iNautix was embarked on a journey towards improving flow and delivering value. Unlike a traditional transformation of realigning teams and rolling out Scrum as an Agile framework, they wanted to bring evolutionary change in small increments and hence adopted the Kanban principles to change the way of their work, including benefits to the teams as well as to the stakeholders.
Nexus is a framework that drives to the heart of scaling: cross-team dependencies and integration issues.
It is an exoskeleton that rests on top of multiple Scrum Teams who work together to create an Integrated Increment. It builds on the Scrum framework and values.
The slides demystify how can we scale Scrum seamlessly from one team to multiple teams in a more simplified and intuitive manner using the Nexus framework, without too many additional roles and practices or a complex approach to scaling.
This session was presented by Sanjay Gupta and Deepak Gururaja on Agile Portfolio Planning. They have categorically shared about capacity based planning

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

21. Experts Said It Couldn't Be Done In The Given Timeline- (But PayPal Did It Good And Did It Fast)
Those experts clearly didn’t know PayPal as organization and the kind of people driving changes here!
- PayPal's technology VP Kirsten Wolberg May, 2013 )
Paypal Enterprise Agile Transformation – Statistics
150 PayPal volunteers supported transform
17 product lines, 31 sub-product lines, and 87 delivery
groups defined
304 Agile scrum teams formed globally
7 two-week sprints completed
Over 550 daily stand ups held
2 release planning sessions executed
1 product model adopted
22 teams achieved CI maturity level 4.
257 teams in various stages of agile
500+ Change Champions |165 Transformation team
2,484 employees trained
663 employees passed the agile assessment w/o test
192 Agile & CDI training classes held (across 15 cities)
33 "Change Champion" training sessions held
Unlimited [tool] licenses procured […]
1,247 […] projects mapped to migration plans
500 desks in the new workspace similar to startup SolutionsIQ have been a key contributor to Pay Pal’s
extremely successful “big bang” Agile transformation.
It took about seven months to do all of the
planning and the training.
In 9 months they increased their Agile
maturity from 18% to 76%
They did big bang, where they went from
about 20% Agile to 100% of teams being
able to work within Agile.
22. Very Important -- What Else Did They Do Differently?
Spend a lot of time talking to Engineering and leaders on the product to understand the
pain points within the organization.
Customer-driven innovation or CDI to bring in key connection of engineering to the
customer.
Have engineers sitting with product managers [and] sitting with user experience
designers who are putting together and building the products for our customers.
Self-managed team making the decisions that drive the product roadmap.
Decisions taken to aggressively launch all teams at once and introduce enterprise
standards for planning, tooling, and assessing progress.
Today PayPal is experienced in the practice of Agile at enterprise scale, with over 400
product-aligned teams delivering customer value every two-week Sprint.
