Many organizations have made several year investments in implementing agile practices, only to find they are not getting the improvements that they had anticipated. Agile practices were adopted without using data to determine whether the business results were improving (including value to the customer and employee happiness).
Technology and tooling have advanced so that companies can now use data to protect their investment more easily in agile training, coaching, tooling, and practices. Companies can better understand specifically what their impediments to value delivery are and focus on leveraging the right agile practices as needed to solve the delivery issues they are experiencing, rather than a one size fits all approach. By leveraging data, teams can focus more on value-add activities and experience less waste, friction slowing delivery down, as well as reduce wasteful cognitive overload.
This track will focus on understanding how to identify the specific issues slowing down flow and finding changes that resolve those impediments to make the most of the time and money spent on change. Speakers will share practical guidance and experience identifying and removing impediments to low.
