Summary
In large organizations, it’s simply not practical to just "flip a switch" and have your IT department start doing agile all at once. In these situations, agile pilot teams and non-agile teams/departments find themselves having to figure out how to work together during the transition.

Michele Sliger has worked in software development for over 20 years, and has been embracing change with agile methodologies for the last eight of those years. As a self-described "bridge builder," her passion lies in helping those in traditional software development environments cross the bridge to agility.

About the conference

    The presentation "Agile in the Waterfall Enterprise" by Michele Sliger is not working for me.

    It stops when it gets to 33 minutes and a half. Is there a problem with the presentation?

    Great presentation. I liked the emphasis on the values behind agile as opposed to the lingo and practices themselves. Thank you.

    Agile Adoption - How to cross the Chasm?

    by Udayan Banerjee

    In my opinion there are following management challanges for agile adoption:
    1. Funding: How is project sanctioned?
    2. Interaction: Do stakeholders trust each other?
    3. Defect: What is a defect?
    4. Success: How is it measured?
