*Can you be a little bit Agile?*

Agile Practices provide excellent ways for IT and Business to collaborate
and deliver business value. Yet, to fully leverage Agile Practices often
requires significant changes to corporate culture and human resource
management. Some organizations are either unwilling or unable to
immediately undertake these kinds of changes. Can such organizations still
be “a little bit Agile”? In this presentation, Sue Burk presents her
experience-based views on what it means for your organization to adopt
Agile practices, where you can compromise as you adopt and adapt, and which
compromises to avoid. She will also explain how to plan for an adoption
which positions an organization for immediate benefits while not preventing
it from a more complete adoption of Agile â€" and its much greater benefits
-- at a later date. And she will relate how a careful introduction of
selected Agile practices can whet organizational appetite for a more
complete adoption.

*About the presenter:*
Sue Burk, Principal at Top Five to Seven, LLC, has over twenty-five years
experience working with project teams, centers of excellence, and
competency centers, helping them adopt and adapt requirements, analysis,
architecture, estimating, measurement, testing, and project management
practices. She is also a Certified Scrum Master, supporting agile and lean
transformations and has served as a reviewer of Experience Report proposals
for Agile 2013 and Agile 2014.

Her presentations have been featured for more than twenty years at user
groups throughout the United States, including the Data Management
Association (DAMA) and the International Institute of Business Analysis
(IIBA).

She continues to support software and business organizations as a mentor,
assessor, and facilitator and also works with non-profits to help them
define, evaluate, and prioritize their potential initiatives.
