"Transformation with Agile Business Teams" by Bill Petritz

Keynote Presentation Details

If you thought only IT teams could use agile methodologies effectively, you’ll take away a fresh perspective from the March presentation topic.  Organizations can accelerate development and delivery of what’s important to their customers by adopting agile principles across all functions of their business.  Whether it’s Marketing, Operations, Human Resources or IT initiatives -- agile methodologies help establish self-organizing teams that facilitate transformation, strategic alignment and innovation. 

UPS Capital is a company that has embraced agile teams and uses them to spearhead a number of major projects.  In this presentation, learn how adding agile principles helped UPS Capital and see how you might be able to apply several best practices to your teams.  Explore tools used in managing iterative projects, such as ProjectPlace, which offers collaborative workspaces for Agile Business teams.
