Has your delivery ever been inhibited by overarching, archaic governance structures & processes? has your organisation missed an opportunity or not capitalised on an opportunity due to the inability or speed to making a decision? Is your organisation still using lengthy business cases which must go through multiple layers of committees for approval? Ever wondered how governance works when scaling agile within an organisation? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then this is the session for you.

In this fun and interactive session, Ally and Jason will talk through the theory and real life examples of how to get the balance between doing things quickly and having the right level of governance using a principles driven approach and concepts such as limiting work in progress, understanding cost of delay and setting up governance structures and process.

You will come away from this session with an understanding of how to scale your governance processes when scaling agile at your organisation by focusing on:

• Doing the right things
• Doing things right
• Doing things quickly with quality

"Agility isn't an option, or a thing just for teams, it is a business imperative." - Dean Leffingwell, Creator of SAFe

Scaled Agile is not just about rolling out more agile teams or launching release trains, it's a full cultural shift and organisational journey that is, quite simply, hard!

If your teams are starting to see the benefits of Agile ways of working, this session will introduce the Scaled Agile Framework and guide you through ways you can start to permeate agility through to other areas of your organisation.

In this tell all session, Ally will share her journey on how implementing the Scaled Agile Framework helped to achieve key benefits that SAFe offers; increased staff engagement, faster time-to-market, increased productivity and improvements in quality, all in an effort to reach the holy grail of "Enterprise Agility".
