• Buying Agile - The Cost of Agility

  by Neil Killick

  This session will be a presentation and discussion around the cost of becoming Agile, if there is one, and whether this is a legitimate goal in itself. Can you be Agile for free? What exactly do we mean by the terms Agile, Agility, Being Agile and Going Agile?

  With reference to real organisations in Melbourne and elsewhere, I'm interested in finding out what drives companies to adopt Agile and exploring such questions as:

  • Is Agile a goal or a journey?
  • What does Agile cost, why pay and what do you get for your money?
  • Good and bad reasons to Go Agile
  • What Agile isn't, despite popular belief
  • How an Agile mindset can lead to achieving organisational goals
  • Agile
  • Product Backlog
  • Scaled Agile Framework
  • Scrum
  • XP

  At 3:30pm to 4:15pm, Friday 27th July

  In Room C, Swinburne University of Technology. EN Building.
