Yo u are running into problems...\n \n....at various levels, from naysay ers on teams all the way up to C-level execs. At your company, everyth ing is a “top priority” & frequent interruptions are the norm. Exp laining “who does what when” is complicated, & there is no clear a nswer on how to simplify that story. Most meetings you attend are a wa ste of time in your view. You know Agile is part of the solution, but the results so far are NOT good.\n \nYou ask yourself: What steps can we can take now that are quick, cheap & effective?\n \nYour company is not quite ready for Scrum— you tried that and no, it didn’t rea lly “take”. You ended up relating to many of the “Scrum-butt” stories you found on the web. The reality is, you are really in a “p re-Agile” state of being. You are not quite ready yet. What you real ly need is a set of high-impact, low-cost steps you can take NOW that prepare your team, your department, and perhaps even your wider organi zation for real movement— over time— into Agile ways of working.\n  \nThat is what this session is all about: It is a short list of thin gs you can do right now that prepare your people to really “get” A gile.\n \nMost of these steps are not costly, and every one of them i s effective. The steps are from an experienced Agile coach. These step s answer the question “Short of doing Agile “by the book”, what can we do now that can help us get better? What steps can we take now that are immediately actionable, not costly, and really effective?”\ n \nAttend this session to learn twelve simple steps to Agility. Over 80% of these steps will not cost you a dime. Each of the steps is a k ind of pre-Agility practice that can help move your organization forwa rd. When you are doing most of these steps well, you can confidently m ove into Agile practices. All of these steps prepare you to execute on genuine Agile in your organization. These “pre Agile” practices a re 100% aligned with and support authentic Agile thinking and Agile pr actices.\n \n \n\nFor more information visit https://agilephilly.nin g.com/events/twelve-steps-to-agility-by-dan DTSTART;TZID=America/Anguilla:20110601T183000 DTEND;TZID=America/Anguilla:20110601T210000 CATEGORIES:discussion, meeting LOCATION:Chariot Solutions WEBSITE:http://chariotsolutions.com URL:http://chariotsolutions.com CONTACT: ORGANIZER;CN="D.
