    • 2021 Theme | Agile Transformation; how to spark, drive and communicate change.

      And this change may vary from a small local (team) change, to a large company wide transformation.

      Detailing the entire agile transformation upfront when transitioning from a plan-driven to a value-driven organization neither makes sense, nor does it carry the right message between executives and the rest of the organization during an agile transformation. Because of that, bottom-up or top-down agile transformations may cause friction between the different players in the organization. In addition, the large number of agile processes in the industry and home-grown internal processes can leave employees confused about the strategy of an agile transformation. New leadership topics such as crowd-sourcing, Emotional Intelligence (EQ), self-organization and holacracy are adding to disorientation and often delay the call to action and defer real change. In some instances the agile transformation comes to a standstill and may even fail.

       

      In this conference, we are going to challenge us how to spark, drive and communicate change. Which approach do we take? Is it measurable? Visionairs and companies will share their stories. High quality Workshops and an Open Space complements our learning.

      2021 Sub-theme | The role of Management & Product Owners/Managers in any Agile Transformation.

      We believe that Management and Product Owners/Managers play a crucial role during any Agile transformation. There are so many opportunities for the take! Let's explore them.

      Management and Product Owners/Managers especially have a broad reach throughout the organization. Their role in sparking, driving and communicating change is therefore crucial. Therefore we decided that in this year's conference, we are also going to zoom in on the opportunities of Management and Product Owners/Managers in any Change, in any Agile Transformation.

      Niels Pflaeging

      Leadership philosopher, author, BetaCodex founder

      Work the System. Ignite & produce thrust for enterprise-wide, next-level agility

      The history of the agile movement has been a story of unquestionable success. Or so it seems. The reality of agile practice is rather bleak, if you look closer - in software development and beyond.

       

      We should ask ourselves now what has been missing in The Great Game of Agile. The good news is: The answers to that question are already here. Niels Pflaeging offers and discusses insights into what we need to do to get to next-level agility. Enterprise-wide. Everywhere.

      Expect your current level of thinking to be challenged!

      Markus Florian

      IT-Director (CTO) at Creamfinance

      Finding the balance between maximizing value for the customer and the company, while driving an Agile transformation within the IT organization. It is a long journey.

       

      Long-time leading developer and architect in Creamfinance with a BSc in Software Engineering from the University of Applied Science of Wiener Neustadt. Professional in IT field since his early years supporting Austrian startups utilizing heavily on IT.

       

      Markus' talk is largely about the Agile Transformation within Creamfinance, through the lens of the IT Leader.

      Anita Rutkowska

      Product Owner at Creamfinance

      I took the lead in building up the Product Owner profession at Creamfinance. I strongly believe in taking a practical approach next to sound theory. Especially in a period that a company is going through it's Agile transformation, where an agile IT function works with a business that still has to grasp the agile way of being and doing.

       

      Anita is also one of the driving forces within the Product Owners Connected platform. A world wide platform by and for Product Owners (https://www.productowners.org/).

       

      Anita's talk is about the Agile Transformation within Creamfinance, through the lens of the Product Owner.

      Kristina Suchan

      SAFe Scrum Master @ÖBB, Owner & Managing Director at ScrumZ LLC

      Kristina started her agile journey a few years ago and found her purpose in enabling and empowering teams and individuals. She coachsults companies and clients of all sizes on how to get Scrum right.

       

      In her talk, Kristina, will walk out us through how the digitalization project at the Austrian Federal Railway with 14 Scrum Teams, counting 105 people has been scaled according to SAFe.

      Marcus Presich

      Managing Director at Raiffeisen Analytik

      TO BE EDITED | Markus has a good understanding of go-to-market/customer acquisition strategies for startups using technology to leverage efforts.

      Alena Keck

      Lean-Agile Enterprise Transformation Leader

      TO BE EDITED | How do you spark and communicate change in highly visible and regulated manufacturing companies such as automotive?

       

      Alena discusses this topic: overcoming the challenges of Agile Transformation in Automotive Industry. How to create a strong Foundation for your Transformation Journey

      Nils Oud

      Agile Transformation Lead (and certified trainer within Scrum.org, NEXUS, SAFe and IC Agile Institute)

      How to Spark, Drive and Communicate Change in an Agile way, and not plan-driven.

       

      Nils outlines a new, agile approach to change. And not just for the large, corporate transformations, but also for the smaller, local changes.

       

      This approach is based upon over 10 years of experience, and combines elements from Lean (improvement kata), the agile manifesto, the liberating structures and evidence base management. It has grown into a structured practice for consistent improvement.

      Each Master Class runs from 09:30 - 14:30 and includes lunch

      Change! With the liberating structures

      By Johannes Wieser & Milan Krivokuca

      For anyone that wants to learn and apply new, hands-on techniques. We expect Scrum masters, Agile Coaches, Team members, Product Owners, and Leadership.

       

      When you feel included and engaged, do you do a better job? Do you think teams in which people work well together produce much better results? Have you noticed the best ideas often come from unexpected sources? Do you want to work at the top of your intelligence and give the same opportunity to others?

       

      If YES, we have found this is the kind of organization and community that people want to be part of. AND, Liberating Structures help make it happen.

      Change! An agile approach to change (large and small)

      By Nils Oud

      For anyone who wants to learn and apply new, hands-on techniques. We expect Change Agents, from Scrum masters, Agile Coaches, Product Owners to Leadership roles.

       

      The Agile Transformation Kata (ATK) is a scientific approach to practice agile transformations. It is a structured training routine to learn something new or unfamiliar, until the practice becomes a new habit. This Kata is very different compared to other approaches, as it uses an agile mindset during the transformation process itself. This truly shapes the agile culture in all aspects of an organization and will lead to business agility.

      Class Changes

      As an organizer, it is our commitment to attract as many students as possible for our offered classes so that learning is optimal. However, sometimes it is beyond our control that in a highly exceptional case a certain class may not attract enough participants for meaningful learning. When this happens, we are committed to informing our students at least 4 weeks ahead of the anticipated start date, offer the registered students an alternative discounted learning track, and when this is not feasible or accepted by the registered student, refund the ticket price entirely and immediately.

       

      Cancellation

      With the current Covid-19 virus, we will be flexible with refunds and vouchers. At all times you are able to transfer your registration to someone else. If you want to transfer your ticket, please contact us so that we can maintain our files.

       

      Certified Trainers

      As an organizer, we are committed to assigning a qualified Scrum.org, IC Agile Institute and SAFe licensed trainer to our classes.

      As all our trainers are of the highest standards, we exercise the right to assign a specific trainer to a class as we deem most appropriate. This means that a last-minute change in trainer may be possible.
