Agile Transformation Workshop

Course Number:

N/A

This intensive workshop is designed to help an executive or leadership team understand what Agile is and how to develop an organization’s Agile transformation roadmap through several days of training, visioning, collaboration and planning. Our Agile experts will work with the leadership team to identify their organization’s current strengths, gaps and opportunities in order to develop a strong business and technology transformation strategy with clear objectives and measures for success. The end-result of this workshop will be an executable roadmap that combines people (culture), process and technology to start the organization on its Agile journey.

Participants will evaluate real-world case studies and learn methods used for transforming organizations both from an Agile and cultural perspective. The workshop will also include valuable insights into hard-won lessons learned and proven successful techniques used to insure a healthy transformation that sticks. There will also be discussions about how to best lead this type of change and the common challenges real companies have addressed through their Agile adoption.

Note: This workshop is custom made for your organization. After participants complete a short 20-minute pre-workshop survey, your expert agile transformation coach will discuss different approaches with the change sponsor and other key players to create a workshop specifically designed for your executive team.
