An incremental path to agility

A death march project that you are managing; a fractured relationship between you and your clients; a technology organization that has lost its drive, all require behavior change to reverse the trend. Many organizations default to violating Brooks Law : "Adding manpower to a late software project makes it later".

The difficultly lies in discovering what the behaviors are that need changing and how you go about changing them. Blindly adopting a framework without understanding what the organization is solving for can be harmful. This one day class introduces a simple pattern for organizations to incrementally change behavior.

"Overall, this was an excellent workshop, one of the best I have ever attended. It was both educative and fun." - Morgan Stanley
