Organizations are moving rapidly to adopt Agile development processes but many are struggling.  Pilots with small or co-located teams often result in early success, but the real challenge is how to translate that success into an enterprise deployment.  How to best organize teams and people, determining whether existing tools can support Agile, and evolving existing governance and quality management are among the critical questions that have to be answered.

Successfully deploying Agile throughout an organization and scaling it up for larger teams is achievable with the right support, planning and tools.  In this webcast Sapient shares our first hand experience transforming our organization of 5,000 IT and business consultants and the lessons learned helping others move to Agile.

Key topics covered include: 

  • Strategies for helping larger and distributed teams overcome common challenges faced when adopting Agile
  • Role that tools play in enabling teams to work efficiently while providing business owners the visibility they require
  • Importance of getting help from those who have been there
  • Aligning business and technical teams around a new improved way of working
  • Achieving needed consistency and standardization without sacrificing the benefits of Agile
Please join Brian Carter from Sapient Corporation and learn how to successfully drive Agile throughout your enterprise. Broadcast Date:  October 31, 2007
Time: 10:00 AM Pacific -- 1:00 PM Eastern
