Abstract:

Change is difficult—it’s hard to change a mindset, especially within the enterprise setting. However, the benefits that accompany change are well worth the effort. Many organizations are considering Agile approaches. As you introduce Agile concepts within your established enterprise architecture team, you should plan to start small and let your strategy grow over time, in order to increase acceptance. In this presentation, CollabNet Product Manager, Brian Zeichick will discuss how team leads and architects can easily develop Agile approaches to enterprise architecture.

  • Supporting governance requirements
