Implementing Business Agility Through Value Streams
Agile transformations involve organizational transformation. This business level agility is the core element of even large-scale agile transformation frameworks like the SAFe and Disciplined Agile Delivery. When teams have emotional attachments to tools that fail to support business agility with total cost of ownership or when people focus on vocabulary without understanding the overarching purpose, the focus on value is undermined. These are the reasons why I claim that while Agile is a teenager, agility is a toddler still. Sriram will focus on four critical elements of implementing business agility at the product and team levels.
Learning Objectives:
- Demonstrating traceability between Value and Alignment
- Implementing Quality for different types Persona
- Augmenting Confidence through collective Risk Focus
