We are operating in a global, responsive, customer - focused and technology driven world. With software as the key driver of growth, innovation, efficiency and productivity, how you deliver software says a lot about how you‘ll compete in this world. A world written by software spells opportunities for those who capitalize on it and risks for those who don’t. The companies that survive- and thrive- in this world will be agile companies; those able to quickly and confidently respond to change, deliver value faster than the competition and build high- quality products that customers really want.

For instance: Cisco adopted the scaled agile framework (SAFe) and introduced three agile release trains on Subscription Billing Platform (SBP)- capabilities, defects and fixes and projects. Defects were reduced by 40% compared to previous waterfall releases and defect removal efficiency increased by 14% with no overtime.

This workshop will give a foundation level knowledge and impart behavioral skills needed to implement agile discipline. The program aims at understanding the collaboration and communication needed between customer and developers for agile to be successful. To promote disciplined project management process that encourages frequent inspection and adaptation.
