Course Overview
One or two or four successful Agile projects does not make a successful Agile Enterprise. From project governance to production support to project management issues, failing to recognize and address integration issues can impede an organization with successful Agile projects from becoming a successful Agile Enterprise. In this one-day course, Jim Highsmith will address the enterprise and organizational issues that must be considered for Agile practices and principles to become fully integrated into an organization's way of doing business - that is, "Agile integration."
This interactive course focuses on the six key areas in which Agile concepts and practices must be integrated into the enterprise: organization, process, culture, governance, alignment, and performance. Jim will not only define each of these six categories, but he'll also explain why integrating them throughout the organization is so critical to achieving the Agile Enterprise, and he'll provide advice on techniques you can use to change attitudes and lead the way to achieving a truly Agile Enterprise.
