Assessing Agile Maturity: you can't improve what you don't measure!
This session leverages 2 guiding philosophies:
- You can't improve what you don't measure - Peter Drucker
- Agile is a means to an end, not the end itself - unknown
Are you struggling to get the senior executive buy-in for your Agile Transformation?
Are you working with Agile Teams and would like to know what aspects to improve in order to improve Agility?
How can we measure 'doing' vs 'being' Agile?
Well, what is your definition of Agility?
If the questions above making you curious, you should attend this session!
This session will focus on a (non-denominational) Agile Maturity Assessment that you can use to uncover some areas to focus on in your / your organisation's maturity journey.
You can also 'connect-the-dots' and identify ways to encourage buy-in from senior executives using the maturity assessment.
We will be exploring some fundamentals, process, product, team and organisational maturity.
Outline/Structure of the Workshop
The session is structured as a discussion based interactive workshop.
The maturity assessment discusses 5 levels / areas of agile maturity for enterprise agility.
15 mins x 5 levels + 15 min debrief = 90 min session.
You will be completing a small-group-based (if there are multiple people from the same organisation) or an individual maturity assessment while discussing each of the questions and understanding the intent / purpose of each element.

Find Your Edge
Welcome! We are super excited to hear from you.
- The theme this year is Find Your Edge. We want you to talk about what is currently challenging you or the thing that gives you an advantage in your field. What is the theory, practice or concept that you are struggling with but that also excites you. It's not just about answers, it's about questions.
- Pitch us your ideas! Talks, hands-on sessions, workshops. This year we have also added 5 min lighting talks and 20 min TED style talks. There are lots of options, just make sure you let us know what kind of room layout would work best and any special requirements you have.
- Be as detailed as possible in your submission, as this will help you to refine your idea in your own mind, help the content curation team select your session, and enable people who are coming to LAST Sydney to decide that they want to come and participate in your session/s.
- Don't forget, you can edit your session and adjust the idea in the coming weeks, so don't think that you've only got one chance. You can also submit multiple ideas and proposals.
- The LAST Sydney committee is here to help. If you would like to have some coaching or shaping of your idea just let us know.
- LAST Sydney looks forward to finding your edge with you!
Out of town submitters
As we are focused on the local community, we don’t expect people to travel from interstate or overseas to participate, although you are welcome if you choose to come. LAST Sydney is an event with low registration prices, so we need to keep overheads low. Therefore, we generally do not reimburse travel and accommodation or pay a fee to session leaders/speakers.
Registration
Paid registration for LAST Sydney opens on Monday 6th May. As we always sell out, and as successful submitters won't be notified until early July, it could be wise of you to grab a registration. If you are accepted onto the schedule, you can request a refund.
Who needs a nudge?
We would love to know who else you know who has a great idea but needs a nudge. LAST welcomes first time and experienced speakers. Let us know, and we'd be happy to reach out.
We look forward to hearing from you!
