  Agile Readiness Assessment Webinar - 19 September

Please join me on Friday, 19 September for An Agile Readiness Assessment, a ThoughtWorks sponsored webinar.

Taking on Agile can appear to be an overwhelming commitment with no obvious place to start. For one thing, Agile is often a significant departure from how a team is operating, requiring organisational changes, new practices, and stricter discipline. In addition, because there are so many different things to be done - from continuous integration to Story based requirements - it's difficult to know what changes to make first. Finally, organisational constraints such as phase-based governance and shared QA can create questions about the extent to which Agile practices will have an impact, and raise doubts as to whether they can be taken on in the first place.

In this webinar, we'll discuss how to overcome stationary intertia and plot a course to Agile practice adoption.

I hope you can attend on the 19th.
