Examining the State of EA and Findings of Recent SurveyDana Gardner
Transcript of a sponsored podcast panel discussion on the findings from a study on the current state and future direction of enterprise architecture from a from The Open Group 2011 U.S. Conference.
Some days it feels like a roller coaster. Even a crystal ball would do little good because things change so fast. With the
power of the internet, we can get the changing pulse of the economy – from around the world and in our backyards – within seconds of something happening; all adding to the sense of what next? I’m like everyone else: seeing, reading and hearing all the economic news and thinking, “What can I do to help?”

Learner Engagement is back in focus. With the majority of the global corporate workforce still #workingfromhome, several recent surveys indicate that #learnerengagement will be one of the top points to address for corporate L&D team.
While we all agree that Motivation and Practice are the two pillars of Learning Engagement, Learning at the Time of Need and Feedback are two factors that we can ill afford to ignore. Learning engagement also depends largely on the organizational culture, and the transition of L&D from an order taker to playing an active role by being a consultant/advisor is crucial for today's learning endeavors to be successful. Also, the active contribution of line managers and other similar stakeholders in the creation and curation of learning content is also essential.
It is with the aim to discuss and emphasize these factors that we present you with the top 20 quotes from the insightful conversations that Amit Garg - CEO of Upside Learning Solutions, who moderated the podcasts had with learning experts and features:

Agile Requirements Agile Philly HandoutsDoniel Wilson
Agile Requirements Management is about mitigating risk and considering trade-offs that can be made early in the planning process.
While Agile improves many components of software delivery, one constant struggle for development is being able to accurately discern what the customer wants. This discussion will address common pitfalls in the requirements management cycle.
Don will highlight risks and present several strategies to mitigate these risks to improve the ability to deliver the desired results and the value an agile team brings to the organization.
As the Managing Director of Revolutionary Performance Management, Inc., Don Wilson has analyzed, planned, and implemented technology strategies for top tier companies such as Sprint, Marriott, AARP, and most recently the American Chemical Society. He is a Certified Project Management Professional, a Certified Scrum Product Owner and a Certified Scrum Master. He has a reputation for reviving “troubled” projects, achieving successful outcomes, and exceeding expectations. He is known as the “project-whisperer” for his ability to navigate effortlessly between business and technical groups to identify unspoken requirements.

Keynote: Know the Way, Show the Way, Go the Way: Scaling Agile DevelopmentTechWell
Tired of the claims that Scrum, XP, and kanban don’t scale beyond a few teams? Overwhelmed by management’s resistance to the organizational changes needed to really follow agile principles? Concerned with the lack of proven practices required to scale agile methods to the next level? Exploring the Scaled Agile Framework™, Dean Leffingwell dispels these claims and answers these questions—and more. A publicly available set of practices for agile teams, projects, architectures, programs, and portfolios, this framework helps organizations scale lean and agile development from several small teams to hundreds—and even thousands—of practitioners. Working at companies including BMC Corporation and John Deere, Dean has discovered what works and what doesn’t work. He focuses on the critical role software development managers, leaders, and executives play in implementing and supporting the framework to achieve the full business benefits of enterprise agility.
