My British affair...
For the last 15+ years, I have worked in all forms of software development environments/frameworks cutting across multiple domains for different organisations. From all of them, I cannot forget my time at one particular organisation. She was my British lady. British Telecom. In short, BT.
BT moved into agile space in 2004 and has evolved over time. This presentation covers my time at BT (mainly BT Global Services) as a consultant via Virtusa Corporation. During the presentation, I will focus on
- BT's journey in moving to agile
- How big was the agile delivery at BT GS (42 components,1500+, ~10 countries)
- Story breakdown structure at BT (Demand, CE, Solution, Component, Engineering)
- Flow in release train (CA, CFT, RP, Develop/CIT, E2ET, UAT, DR, GoLive, Warranty)
which I will also touch on
- HLD/LLD's at enterprise delivery
- ROM estimation
- SFIA rating
- Function points
- Managing funding for agile teams
- Delivery tracking/reporting in agile teams
- Environment for different stages
- ASG and LCS teams
BT's agile delivery process has its own pros and cons. But for a company to move from more than 1 year to deliver a concept to less than 90 days is a massive achievement. At the end of the presentation, I am sure the listeners will take away the benefits of BT's agile delivery process into their organisation

LAST is Australia's cross-functional conference. Rather than retreat to our trade and talk among our peers-in practice we want LAST to be a place where people can learn about the holistic process of product and service development, or growing organisations and our own skills and careers.
This conference is also about learning and sharing from our colleagues. Over the years we have come to value the following things;
- Interactive sessions over presentations
- Specific tools and techniques over general frameworks
- Learning from mistakes and failures over sharing sanitised success stories
- Diversity of content over following industry best practices
- Evidence based approaches over novel ideas
That is, while there is value in the items on the right, we value the items on the left more.
