Large organizations are facing continuous and increasing disruptions from both the startup space as well as their current competitors. Older business models, processes and tools can no longer keep pace with changing market conditions. While most organizations have identified these challenges and the need for the change to a more agile model, many of them face significant challenges in adopting agile in their organizations.

In our experience, delivery execution using Agile is understood clearly. However, phases before execution, such as Ideation or Discovery, are a large black box and usually entails some form of waterfall thinking e.g. siloed inception phase.

We would like to share our experiences exploring the black box of pre-execution work in enterprises using LEGO. Some of the key components that will be explored through this workshop are:

• Team formation
• Product roadmap & vision
• Governance & Controls

In this workshop we aim to provide a clear understanding of the process from ideation to execution. Throughout the workshop we will be constantly reinforcing fundamental agile concepts such as continuous improvement, fast feedback, and close collaboration between business & technology.
