"The McKinsey Way to Enterprise Agility" is an in-depth exploration of the strategies employed by global consulting giant McKinsey in handling large-scale agile transformations. This talk uncovers some of the methodologies that have steered McKinsey’s success in enterprise agility, while also probing into the contentious reputation these large consultancies often face within the agile community, whether this criticism is justified or if it's based on misconceptions and stereotypes? This session aims to dissect these questions and more. 

In addition to the insights into McKinsey, this talk provides attendees with a well-rounded understanding what's needed for a holistic approach to business agility.

Adding value to Scrum projects as a Project Manager isn't easy. The common Scrum tenor is that the role "Project Manager" shouldn't exist, not in title and even less so in spirit. However, reality is that PMs or roles with traditional project management responsibilities are still more prevalent than agile servant-leader Scrum Masters or Kanban Flow Managers.
So, if you find yourself in a position of being an [Agile] Project Manager or in a similar role, join my session to learn how you can add value and foster an agile system at the same time with Kanban. You will leave the session with hands-on techniques that you can implement the very next day to improve the way you and your team works!

Improv your coaching skills (pun intended) and your team performance! On a superficial level, improv techniques introduce play and fun into every team.

Test

We were at the forefront of scaling Scrum and Agile. Past tense. This talk will explore lessons learnt, and how to increase the probability of success for your scaling efforts.

To be clear, this is a failure story. However, failure inevitably leads to learning. And I would very much like to share my learnings with the wider agile-community.

This talk is divided into the following sections:

• How we implemented Large Scale Scrum and were proud of it
• What we tried that went well and you should try, too
• Things we tried that didn't work - but may work for you
• What we tried that failed - and you shouldn't try either
• General advice on what to look for in scaling frameworks
