Agile Journal and Rally Software deliver Three Part Agile Business® Webcast Series.

On June 05, 2007 10:00 am PDT, 1:00 pm EST, 1800 GMT CMC Media Inc., the publishers of the Agile Journal, and Rally Software will present the first in a three part webcast series on agile development. More information is available online at http://www.agilejournal.com/webcast

In part one of the series, Jean Tabaka, Agile Coach, Certified ScrumMaster Trainer and Certified Professional Facilitator for Rally Software discusses a common problem among organizations eager to take advantage of the benefits touted by Agilists. Many inappropriately attempt an all or nothing-at-all, top-down approach to Agile adoption. In this view of both Agile maturity and scaling, Jean borrows from the Lean Thinking principles of attaining total value delivery: perfect your ability to maintain Flow of value, learn to use the principle of Pull in order to deliver even more value, and embrace an organizational imperative to Innovate so that value is forever redefined and re-emerging.


With this in mind, Agile adoption at the team level concentrates on those Agile guidelines that emphasize Flow:

  • Time-boxed, rhythm of regular flow of value
  • Prioritized delivery of value
  • Compact teams that define, build, test and accept value in the time box
  • High accessibility to the owner of the value (product owner and customer)
  • Burning visibility into the daily delivery of value
  • Inspect and adapt tools that help teams respond to change
  • Mentorship by an experienced Agile coach
All of these practices of team Flow benefit from tooling that sets the entire Agile development and delivery management in motion as they move to mature from Flow practices to multi-team Pull and Innovate approaches.

PART 2 - Tuesday June 12 - 10 am Pacific - 1 pm Eastern 1700 GMT
In Part 2 "Five Levels of Agile Planning", Hubert Smits, Certified ScrumMaster, Trainer and Agile Coach for Rally Software, guides participants through Agile practices when applied to large-scale projects, which can broadly be defined as projects that involve over 50 people and take months or years to complete. 


PART 3 - Tuesday June 19 - 10 am Pacific - 1 pm Eastern 1700 GMT

In the final broadcast of this webcast series Ryan Martens, Founder and CTO of Rally Software and
Laureen Knudsen, Value Delivery Chain LifeCycle Manager for Hewlett Packard explore the role of tools as a change-enabler in adopting Agile and discuss how HP uses Agile and Rally to better track project progress and eliminate last-minute surprises in its large-scale Agile initiatives.
