Abstract:
What is the essence of agile management? How do you create a culture of
continuous improvement? With light touch, empowerment, delegation, high
levels of trust, and focus on the correct leverage point to drive
maximum advantage. Learn the Zen of agile management! A set of
techniques developed by David J. Anderson over the last 8 years through
his experience managing teams at Fortune 100 companies such as Motorola
and Sprint using Feature Driven Development, Microsoft Solutions
Framework (and Team Foundation Server) and his latest work at Corbis
using Lean ideas such as kanban.
This full-day workshop dives into the heart of how to manage with
queues using kanban boards, cumulative flow diagrams and application of
wider ideas in management science, to software development process.
Through David's experience as senior director of the software
engineering function at Bill Gates' private company, Corbis, you will
learn how to scale Agile and Lean techniques enterprise-wide.
