A consistent challenge companies face are finding real-world ways to implement Agile practices in a large, possibly waterfall, environment. People with day-to-day business problems are often confronted with theories and textbook approaches that may not seem practical in their complex enterprise structure.
In this session, you will be given real examples and immediately applicable techniques you can apply to either start your Agile journey or enhance your current progress. For several years, Paycor had “pockets of Agility”. But in early 2014, Paycor kicked off a focus, determined Agile Transformation. We will review the steps taken over the last year to dramatically increase the company’s agility and reflect on areas of difficulty most organizations face.
Areas of discussions will include:
1. Identifying Practical Techniques to Get Started
2. Developing Agility at the Team Level
3. Expanding Agility to the Enterprise
