Whether you are skeptical of agile practices or a leader
who is tasked with bringing about the changes needed for agile practices to reach
their full potential, the Agile Leadership Summit is for you. Agile adoption offers
opportunities for faster time-to-market and significantly higher product quality,
with the bonus that applications remain malleable and easier to change over their
lifetime. However, to gain these benefits, you need to align your organization’s
culture, priorities, and structure with agile principles. Join leaders from the
industry—Steve greene, Director of Tools & Processes at Salesforce.com;
Sue McKinney, vice President of Development Transformation and Integration at IBM;
Niel Nickolaisen, CIO and Director of Strategic Planning at Headwaters, Inc.; Israel
gat, vice President of BMC’s Distributed System Management; and others—who
have embraced agile principles and hear them share how they have put agile to work
successfully in their organizations.
The Agile Leadership Summit is the perfect opportunity to meet and network with
your peers and learn proven ways to improve software delivery by evolving people
and practices to be the best they can be. |
