Abstract: **The Role of Agile and Scrum In Today’s Organization
Session description:
Steve Denning will discuss the global trend in which the management and leadership approaches broadly known as Agile—including its most important exemplar, Scrum—have been spreading from individual teams, to multiple teams, to whole departments and divisions, and ultimately to the whole organization. He will review the reasons for, and the prospects of, “the Agile Organization” and the role of Scrum within it. He will discuss the business reasons why these changes have been occurring and how organizations of different sizes and in different sectors are coping with the challenges. He will review the challenges that lie ahead, including factors that are enabling success and common pitfalls that organizations are encountering. He will draw on the findings of the Learning Consortium for the Creative Economy, organized by Scrum Alliance, in which major organizations around the world shared their experiences with Agile and Scrum.
Learning Outcomes: - A deeper understanding of the role of Agile as a fundamental transformation of leadership and management in the 21st Century.
- A recognition of Agile as a Copernican revolution in management.
- Insight into what is involved in making the whole organization Agile.
