A practical, hands-on, guide to accelerating Agile projects with Goldratt's Theory of Constraints (TOC)

In 1984 Eli Goldratt's business novel, "The Goal", introduced a counter-intuitive, yet simple and outstandingly profitable, manufacturing technique to the world.  That technique is now used by the majority of the world's largest manufacturers and "The Goal" is 1 of only 3 mandatory readings for all managers at Amazon.com.   

This session, run by Clarke Ching, an expert in apply Goldratt's techniques to software development projects, and author of Rolling Rocks Downhill, also a business novel, shows how to apply the lessons from "The Goal" to accelerate Agile projects, large and small.

It covers:

• finding your project's constraint
• managing your project's constraint
• finding your business's constraint
• strategic prioritization wrt your constraint(s)
• demand driven development (based on Zara clothing company's unique business model)
• how to deliver project's on time (making "slam dunk" promises using Critical Chain techniques).

This is a commercially focused, rather than technical, workshop, where the goal is to make your business more profitable.
