Data and AI: Effective Tooling for Agile at Scale
We cherish the #1 Agile principle of “Individuals and Interactions” over “Processes and Tools.” However, scaling Agile to thousands of contributors demands supportive processes and intelligent tools. While previous talks have already addressed remote quarterly plannings and tools for distributed teams, our talks focus is on transforming distributed operational data into actionable insights.
We will tackle common visibility and alignment challenges in large Agile transformations, covering every phase from strategy to execution and from planning to delivery. Learn from real-world examples and gain actionable ideas to overcome hurdles and optimize your Agile processes. By leveraging data and AI for effective tooling, you take a significant step toward ensuring the success of your Agile at Scale journey.
