Have you ever been asked, “Are we agile yet?”

That’s a daunting question to answer as there is no single best way to measure adoption. Chris and Lee, experienced Agile veterans, believe that measuring adoption is not one-size-fits-all, but rather requires strategic planning tailored to the needs of that team.

Over their careers, Chris and Lee have worked with upwards of 70 agile teams. After learning and improving over several years, they have successfully developed a simple yet collaborative approach to measuring agile adoption - all while maneuvering the minefield of executives looking for performance metrics.

Join Chris and Lee as they let you in on their approach to developing an agile adoption strategy, starting with a simple survey. The pair will also share some of the challenges they encountered and how they were able to mitigate them to improve team performance.

“Success is not delivering a feature; Success is learning how to solve a customer’s problem” - Mark Cook, VP Product at Kodak

Too often companies measure project success by comparing estimated completion dates vs actual completion dates and budgeted costs vs actual costs. Multiply this by 30-40 projects a year and they start to lose sight of the real metric that matters: the value provided to the business and their customers.

At Index Exchange, the world’s largest independent ad exchange, we have taken a different approach. By leveraging agile and lean startup principles in our roadmapping process, we can ensure we are consistently working on tasks with the highest priority. In this session, you will learn how to use kanban, experimentation, collaboration, agile forecasting and improvement kata to maximize value and throughput from product and engineering.
