Agile principles sound simple: keep a to-do list, prioritize by business value, work in short iterations, and frequently demonstrate a working, usable product. But most companies struggle to get the promised value from their Agile transformation efforts, usually because they’re neglecting three critical success factors.
This presentation will outline what you should see when Agile is working well, and highlight three factors that are crucial to meeting your development goals. It will explain how to recognize when you’re moving in the wrong direction and give you techniques to get things back on track.
You will learn:
- The three most critical factors for a successful Scrum team
- How to identify when your team is off track and how to correct it
