I'll be repeating my one-day Zen of Agile Management workshop from QCon in London this past March, at Agile Practices in Orlando Florida on November 10th and again the following week at QCon in San Francisco on Tuesday November 18th. In both locations the class is in the well tried and tested one-day format. This class has been universally well received since I first introduced it at VS Live in Orlando in March 2006. I've updated the material only slightly since London this past March to include my new prioritization approach. Here is the abstract for the class... The Zen of Agile Management What is the essence of agile management? How do you create a culture of continuous improvement? With light touch, empowerment, delegation, high levels of trust, and focus on the correct leverage point to drive maximum advantage. Learn the Zen of agile management! This popular 1-day tutorial will give you an overview of the techniques developed by David J. Anderson in the last 8 years through his experience managing teams at Fortune 100 companies such as Motorola and Sprint using Feature Driven Development, Microsoft Solutions Framework (and Team Foundation Server) and his latest work at Corbis using Lean ideas such as Kanban and Theory of Constraints. This full-day workshop dives into the heart of how to manage with queues using kanban boards, identify and eliminate bottlenecks and reduce variability using cumulative flow diagrams and other metrics, measures, and indicators to provide line, middle and upper management reporting. David's will pass on his experience as senior director of software engineering at Bill Gates' private company, Corbis, detailing how to build a kaizen culture and institutionalized enterprise scale agile change. There are 8 exercises:
