In this client organization, agile methods were not producing expected improvements, primarily because the stakeholders could not agree on priorities of the work. The team decided to use extremely short iterations to expose the problems caused by a lack of prioritization. Mishkin Berteig will present this case study in detail including organizational characteristics and history, the early stages of agile adoption, the crisis, the experiment with two-day long iterations, the stakeholder analysis, the importance of financial modelling in clarifying the crisis, and the resolution that emerged.
This will be a lecture-style presentation with slides and a Q&A period at the end.
