Course Description

This interactive workshop will help Senior Executives to understand the relevance of Agile for the wider enterprise, how it impacts Business Agility, improves Return on Investment and reduces time to market. Participants will learn what Agile is, how it will foster collaboration between business and IT and will understand how it can reduce risk and increase transparency.

The process of implementing Agile & Scrum is challenging as problematic areas are exposed. An estimated 40% of Agile implementations fail as senior management underestimate the difficulty in cultural change and practical application. This overview focuses on detailed discussions around Business Agility, what it really means; its impact on ROI, time to market, managing risk, ability to deliver, Product Success and Customer Satisfaction. Further discussions around areas such as Technical Expertise, Employee Development and Sustainable Change are conducted.
