Agile Pathologies: Backyards of Agile Shops

  • Agile adoptions usually fail at first. You know something is broken in your team, but not sure where and what. You often don’t know what made you successful. Worse yet, success from one team doesn’t replicate to another. If you are a manager, or want to be one, and have ever wondered if Agile is a fit for you or your organization, this session is meant for you. Learn from stories of chaos, ineffective product owner, ineffective Agile coaches, and disheartened teams. Rajeev shares his war stories of emotional and behavioral problems he has observed on teams. He creates awareness around your pathologies and discusses specific amendments. Understand a new perspective on comprehending the ecosystem required for agility. Rajeev shares his secret sauce for success on his client engagements at ThoughtWorks.

    This is about a 45 min interactive presentation guided with a slide deck. Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions during the presentation. After the talk, I will reserve about half hour for additional questions. Learning outcomes include:
