Sometimes people in organizations feel as though Agile has been pushed on them. They end up going through the motions, without any real sense of ownership of what they are doing. Instead of actually implementing meaningful changes, organizations end up doing “Agile in name only” by slapping Agile labels on existing processes. Then Agile is blamed for “not working”. This isn’t an Agile problem. It’s an alignment and ownership problem. In this session, through theory and multiple real-world case studies, you’ll learn how to co-create change by involving the people affected by the change in the design of the change.

This session will have 3 speakers. Jason Little will discuss the ideas behind how to create alignment and April Jefferson and Carlos Oliveira will show examples of how they’re using these ideas in their organizations.
