Agile Delivery Performance

with Niall McShane

A session focused on how managers, team leads and executives encourage and quantify value from an expensive "transformation".

Recent research indicates that organizational agility is a top-three priority in 70% of large companies, and nearly 40 percent are currently conducting an organizational-agility transformation.​

There is now an industry shift from starting Agile transformations to assuring that the agile delivery system is optimised and performing. ​This session will help you to understand and to start to implement and optimise agile delivery performance.

A taste of LeSS

with Venky Krishnamurthy

A scaling approach that is rooted in Scrum with Australia's only LeSS Certified Trainer. Find out if LeSS might be right for you.

Venky will help you to explore the LeSS approach to scaling Scrum by applying the principles, purpose, elements, and elegance of Scrum in a large-scale context, as simply as possible.

True to the tradition of LAST, this will be an experiential session where we favour participation and discussion over presentation (there might still be some slides) so in that contexxt Venky has put together some activities to give us an introduction to LeSS and facilitate learning and further avenues for exploration.

Innovate like a startup

with Pilar Esteban

Innovating within a business, either an established business or a startup is not about “building a car iteratively”. It’s about answering the question “What is the best way to go from A to B” and learning in each iteration.

• Are you trying to define the right strategy for your business unit or startup?
• Are you worried about getting customers and finding product market- fit?
• Want to de-risk your next steps?

This workshop will help you understand how to get your customers onboard, de-risk your business ideas, and use the learnings to define your next steps.
People who are at a startup now, people who want to create a startup and those who work at more established, larger companies who want to be more innovative, can benefit from this workshop.
