AgileIndy2024 Conference

Are you interested in understanding how a team:
Eliminated dependencies...
increased effectiveness, deployment frequency, and quality…
reduced dependencies…
without hiring more people…
all in a sustainable and human-centric way?

Then come join this session where we will:
1. Share the story of how a team, trending in the wrong direction, accomplished the above by thoughtfully and pragmatically leveraging FAST, OKRs, modern product management approaches, and software teaming in a 6-week dojo to turn things around.
2. Dive into what that looked like from a few different points of view...Product Management, UX, and Engineering.
3. Reflect on the above together.

Internal policies in IT Organizations, especially those in heavily regulated environments, have become overly complicated through reactionary decision making, band-aids, and "that's the way we've always done it" reasoning. We got here by trying to be responsive to the ever-changing needs of the business and using the tools and approaches we know well, but the result often resembles a Rube Goldberg machine that constantly impedes its own best efforts, and the more we try to fix it the worse it gets. In this session we'll talk about the 3 key factors in dismantling the machine and become more Agile.
