Organizations which reap the real benefit of Agile, are the ones who make employee the 'King'. They focus on delivering quality product using creativity, innovation and by empowering teams. 
Managing employees in a transformation is a tedious and a very important activity. This could be management, senior employee, juniors or even interns.
In this session I will be talking about the challenges faced in transformation, the techniques used for managing employees in transformation and the benefits of using such techniques.

Most of the companies in Tech industry are focused on implementing agile, than being agile. In this process they tend to get into a path, where agile really becomes a mess or an overhead. Especially, the startups face quite a lot of challenges trying to adopt agile as they try to simply use the frameworks available, instead of being agile and adopting to the practices with value. I will bring in the experience I had with some startups who were struggling to manage resources to be efficient and have better results.

One such scenario is that, one of the startup was following SCRUM as they only knew about it as agile. All ceremonies were practiced but without really getting the value out of it, but for the sake to show they are agile. And there were many roles, BA, Tech Leads, QA Leads, developers and testers. And all the deployment and support was managed by a separate team.
So, some of the changes which were brought in was, training team members to be cross functional, perform ceremonies with value and use the learnings for next sprint. Same team to perform the deployment and support (Here the development and support teams were merged and trained), DevOps practices were introduced, started practicing Automation, made individuals to collaborate more, Design thinking was also used to understand the system users as well as to understand and provide solutions to the team.

This presentation helps to understand how agile can be effectively used to get the best results according to the nature of the startup. This session will help in understanding resource management, ways to enhance innovation and teamwork and the methods to increase efficiency and reap quick results.

Many companies are quite keen on adopting agile practices. As of now a lot of companies had successfully achieved it, but still there are companies which had failed. Adapting to the change is not very easy, if it is not planned properly. This change has to be absorbed by the top management, before it gets to the rest of the company.

One of the important things in agile transformation is that, it is not just a process change but a culture change and the mindset of people, which requires a lot of change including the role of the management.

This presentation is to share the experience of an agile transformation of a company that was following strict waterfall methodology and how the role of the management changed in order to support the transformation, to get the best results out of it.

It’s a dream come true if every team has Super Heroes. But is that reality?

Gone are the days when there was a demand for super heroes. Agile has helped to overcome this issue with the environment it creates. The power that a strong agile team creates, goes beyond the power of super heroes.

The leadership skills that agile instills in the members, make them converge as a super team that has more power than a super hero.

This presentation shares the techniques and learnings, on how to create super teams in an agile environment, when the members are not super heroes.
