Abstract

Agile methods have transformed software development, improving customer satisfaction and accelerating speed-to-value. Yet many teams routinely hit an “agile glass ceiling.” If you’ve grappled with missed commitments, schedule overruns, and unpredictable delivery despite following agile best practices, you are not alone.

This presentation describes a practical, proven approach to planning and tracking that helps teams to be more agile as they make and keep commitments, improve predictability, and delight their customers. You’ll also see a newly-available suite of tools that makes these techniques simple to adopt and integrate into existing agile workflows.
