Join Canadian IT professionals to explore and discuss leadership, innovation, Agile transition, organizational design and career paths. Learn how others are approaching issues, share your insights, and gain perspectives. As organizations transition to Agile we see some core opportunities and challenges: • Every organization has the opportunity to be increasingly effective, competitive and fun. • Nearly every organization is, or will be in whole or part, a software company. Increasingly, successful companies rely on agility across their organization to deliver services or products to market in greater frequency, with greater reliability. An Agile organization meets this challenge by: • Building certainty into knowing what factors get the best results, even in uncertain conditions. • Designing teams and workflow to gain these certainties on a consistent basis. • Reducing the pain of ineffective structures identified by too many handoffs, waiting too long for approvals, political decision-making and a long time periods to get results. “Software will eat the world,” said Mark Andreessen, co-creator of Netscape, inventor, venture capitalist and board member of Facebook, Ebay, Oculus VR and more. Let’s explore how leadership in Canadian companies can adopt Agile methods to meet the inevitable truth “every company will be a software company.” Making the leap from traditional project management to Scrum?
