Specialises In (based on submitted proposals)
I currently work as a Development Manager at Kronos. My experience with Agile started about 7 years ago while working with the Royal Bank of Scotland, where I was an Agile evangelist and trainer, running 2-day Agile workshops not much dissimilar from CSM sessions. I am a Certified Scrum Master and Certified Scrum Professional.
Agile adoption tends to be a long journey for organisations that have been following a different mindset for many years, and as an Agile coach/trainer, i have enjoyed the challenges that this brings.

Parenting Lessons for Agile Transformations
Atulya MahajanDevelopment ManagerKronosKiran ChhabraVice President EngineeringInfoedge Ltdschedule 5 years ago
45 Mins
Talk
Intermediate
Agile transformations are no child's play. There is inertia, restlessness, impatience and the constant desire to run away. Traits that anyone who has been a parent to little kids has encountered, and learnt in their own way how to handle.
This session looks at parallels between parenting and trying to influence teams through an agile transformation. We look at some of the things that successful parents do that can be done by leaders trying to take their teams through a transformation.
Because if teams sometimes behave like children, the leader needs to be a parent too!

The Subject They Don’t Teach : What’s Post-Deployment

When we talk about Agile methodologies then focus on just delivery is not enough. There is life beyond delivery, and very often a product makes or breaks its destiny during that phase.The Devops process itself is more than Continous Integration/Deployment, and it is important to know the other Cs of Continuous Monitoring and Continuous Operations as well.We will share a case study for a team that had to sustain fast-paced releases with a large customer base. Agile, Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery were not just fads for them but needs for survival.This system turned out to be a big success story and thus we went ahead and replicated the model in the rest of the organisation. -

Through tutorials, session and workshops you can learn Agile concepts. But "Spoiler alert" , what they don't tell you is that they are not sufficient to get/enable your tech team to adopt it.Being a techie and having 13years of experience implementing quality models from SEICMM, StageGate to Agile in software development, I learnt it on the job.I have trained around 150 engineers and MBAs on Agile and Scrum models across 3 difference companies.Atulya has trained 100+ guys in similar time frame so together we have a wide experience of what kind of perspectives come when people get exposed to Agile. Many of these attendees were team leads or managers and for them learning this themselves is easy.Making the teams adopt it, is a different ball game!Major concerns that come from team members is when and how to design the architecture. If we get stories in iterations then how do I design my system upfront. It will result in bad quality or rework.Through this session, the audience will get to:-Learn and hear real experience of how to move from teaching the tech team to a stage where you can even become a bad cop and question them why do you use a practice.-Reach a stage where team revolts if you ask them to go back to old ways of doing it.-Hear how we technical managers incorporated our best practices into the process lifecycle.-Learn how the team improvised to circle around road blocks and came up with the concept of presprint.-Hear our story of how team went from "Ohh no to a new process" to "WOW it works"! -
