May Meeting: Agile Eats Culture for Breakfast

When: May 12, 2016  (Second Thursday) Networking: 5:30 - 6:00 pm Program: 6:00 - 7:30 pm

VersionOne's 9th Annual State of Agile Survey found that the number one barrier to further agile adoption is lack of ability to change organizational culture. Workplace culture is often an afterthought in agile transformations but is critical to making it work and making it stick. Presenters walk the audience through experiences and lessons learned while transforming the culture in one for-profit and one non-profit organization to an agile, highly engaged (and fun!) workplace. Audience members will learn how to approach managing the complexities of cultural transformations by employing agile methodologies (specifically the Scrum framework) and Lean Startup principles. Lessons learned can be employed immediately in any work environment.
