Taking the Entire NFL and Asking Them To Play Rugby - The Scaled Agile Transformation of TD Bank
Similar to asking the players of the NFL to play rugby, TD Bank took their existing talent and drastically changed their operating model to scaled agile. We started our first agile journey in 2014 and continued a test and learn approach to the scaled agile model we have today. Key learnings included the need for persistent teams, consistent funding, customer centric focus, and cross functional collaboration. Please join our speaker, Diane Lai, AVP Agile Practice Lead, to find out how we are transforming a 167 year old bank with more than 90,000 employees and 26M customers globally to be innovative and customer centric with scaled agile.
Join TD Bank in this session to:
- Learn what it takes to transition a large organization to scaled agile
- Reflect on the key learnings from a major agile transformation
- Hear how TD Bank applied a test and learn approach to develop the scaled agile model we have today
