Tales from the badlands: On why doing agile isn’t being agile (even if you measure), and how to become agile at scale |
| Though rooted in engineering, Agile philosophies (e.g., rapid prototyping, continuous improvement) align well with UX practices. So UX should be natural strategic partners and trusted agents of Agile Product owners. However, even organizations that really ARE agile (most aren’t) are challenged to integrate UX Practices effectively.
Our panel brings highly experienced practitioners, with different (and sometimes competing) perspectives, to discuss and explore both challenges that Practitioners face when their organization suddenly “becomes agile”: What does that MEAN? And where do I fit? Learn what’s worked–and what hasn’t–across decades of transformational, organizational change experience driving toward agile at scale. Explore strategies to combat resistance to change and selective embrace of Agile values, how to measure and scale agile, … and where and how UX fits. Then, challenge our experts to address your challenges and your company’s barriers. By the end of the session, you will feel more confident about the (real) promise of agile, where you fit and how you can contribute to the cultural and operational changes underpin successful agile transformation. |
