Agile is not about doing scrum, kanban, lean or any other flavour of the process.  An organization cannot be “doing” agile, they must “be” agile.  They must believe in and understand the agile principles.  

After going through a successful agile transformation and running scrum for 3 years we realized that it’s just not working for us anymore.  The team was suffering from scrum fatigue.  It felt like there was a sprint planning, stand up or retrospective meeting happening all the time.  

We decided to take a hard look at how we were working and turn it on its head.  We looked at all the different agile options such as scrum, kanban, lean, xp, etc and decided to take the best parts from all of these instead of sticking with one approach.  This session will take you through our journey and share what worked for us that could also work in your organization.

Discuss the concept of The 4 W's of agile product delivery in order to help with estimating and projecting product releases while working in an agile environment.  The 4 W's are the "Why", "What", "When" and "Who" which are the variables product owners and other stakeholders can manipulate in order to determine the release date and content.

Not all software can be released continuously.  As much as we try to avoid it, long term release planning is still necessary in some environments.  This session will talk about a new concept of using the 4 W's methodology to add transparency, predictability and collaboration when it comes to long term release planning
