What's your experience coaching teams toward being Agile?

I have developed, led, coached and managed agile projects in two large fortune 500 companies for last 5 years. I have coached both xP and Scrum forms of Agile and it is interesting to see how organizations interpret these forms of Agile and customize to there needs. I have experience in scaling agile in large organizations and led it from birth to maturity. Currently, I am coaching IT Managers, Product Owners, Testers and Developers with adoption and transition to agile and its a passion for me now.

What do you plan to learn explore at this conference?

I would like to learn and explore Post Agilism. Is it an oxymoron? Is it is about purity? How is it possible to confine / define Agile within a boundary and call everything after the boundary Post-Agile. Is post Agile not Agile?

How do you plan to contribute?

• How to scale agile and how organizations customize agile to their needs. I can share my experiences on the sensitive points during the Agile transformation where organization may abandon Agile. I can also share my experiences on how organizations have abandoned agile because of pressure, wrong decisions and the role that the senior leadership plays during all of these.
• Good enough Agile - I can share my experiences on how IT organizations modify their development methodology by implementing very few Agile practices and declares the Agility and do not reach excellence to realize its full potential. I can explain how fast this good enough half baked agile get scaled in the organization and organization never reach excellence and purity.
• How to successfully manage offshore Agile projects.
• The importance of Sprint / Iteration 0 and how it get ignored because of perceived speed and wrong interpretation.
