Agile Measurement Within and Across Teams
When enterprise agile methods are sold as a means to predictability, how can we improve our predictability when we are working across many or dozens of teams, and how do we measure predictability across teams rather than team by team? Scott Aucoin shares how Intuit uses agile measurements to build stronger teams and put out the same fires in many teams at once rather than coaching and improving team by team. Scott shares real-world data from dozens of teams with lessons learned and examples of how some higher maturity groups of teams and lower maturity groups may need different “missions” in their agile improvement process. Leave with a deep understanding of how one agile company improved delivery predictability; how they spot and act on data trends; and how they identify the “best” missions and practices for different teams to target.
The agile strategist at Intuit, Scott Aucoin focuses on building a strong agile organization working across hundreds of teams to build predictable and efficient teams without too many restrictions on how they work while leveraging best practices from a variety of methodologies. Scott’s experience includes agile implementations and consulting at companies ranging from startups to Fortune 50s. He's passionate about using data to identify trends and encouraging agile principles that allow teams to flourish in their own ways rather than following a prescriptive approach. He works in California but lives in New Hampshire where he runs an agile meetup group—new members always accepted!
