Agile (Virtual) Forum - 211019

Webinar

"Welcome to Disciplined Agile" presented by Alan Zucker, Instructor and Consultant

The Agile Forum meetings offer an opportunity for professional networking and knowledge sharing with other agile practitioners as well as provide a learning environment for professionals interested in learning about agile techniques. Everyone is welcome to participate.            

Presentation    Zucker-Alan

Agile is changing the way we manage all projects. Agile projects are more successful and have higher customer satisfaction rates than traditional ones. It can also be used to deliver anything from non-profit programs to large, complicated cyber-physical products.

The Project Management Institute acquired the Disciplined Agile (DA) toolkit to provide its members with credible new capabilities and certifications that will make them even more valuable in the marketplace. DA recognizes that every team, project, and organization operate within their own context.

Disciplined Agile provides a pragmatic approach. It recognizes that making informed choices is good. The fundamental advice is to start where you are, do the best you can and always strive to get better.

In this presentation, Alan Zucker explains the value of agile and the benefits of Disciplined Agile. Through this conversation, participants will understand how DA fits into their context, its practical applications, and how they can become part of this new and exciting movement

Transformation programs change how organizations use people, processes, and technology, to develop capabilities to meet their mission. These programs are driven by a sense of urgency, are broad in scope and impact, and are typically done in parallel with ongoing operations. The reasons why transformation programs fail have been well documented.
In this presentation, Hub Dohmen and Rolf Holtjer will discuss how to lead successful transformation with a focus on the human component. The discussion will include:

  • How do you measure the success of a project or innovation?Holtjer-Rolf

  • How do you define your milestones in a project?
  • How do you make your company and people fit for purpose?
  • How do you enable your company and your team to make your customers happy?
