Aristotle said "We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit".  Agile as well, is a habit and a skill; a journey more than a destination. Both in the agile team rooms as well as through other affected parts of the organization, agile is a serious game changer and it all starts with continuous learning and improvement.

Product Team Research Studies are showing significant growth in agile adoption beyond the technology teams.  As some organizations work to extend and gain the benefits of agile beyond the team rooms they are finding that there are both great benefits and great challenges. Every organization is different with differing goals and objectives ans knowing how to map agile practices to those goals can help you and your organization to iteratively focus on practices that will gain the most alignment and resonate most readily with your expanding cross-functional teams.  

This session will explore the organizational structures that help faciliate agile adoption and growth.  We will also look at the iterative team level practices that help a team continuously align with the business and achieve the levels of excellence that are needed to fight off the organizational anti-bodies that will try to twart your agile adoption efforts.
