Scrum, the most popular Agile framework today, is gaining traction in organizations worldwide as they recognize its potential for improving value delivery. Madison, a city known for its thriving tech community, is hosting its first Scrum Day event. With the theme "Scrum is a Team Sport," the event aims to bring together industry leaders and experts to explore the benefits and challenges of implementing Scrum methodologies. Scrum Day is pleased to announce that Todd Miller and Ryan Ripley, renowned Agile practitioners and advocates for evidence-based management, will be presenting at this year’s Srum Day conference.
"Your Agile Transformation is a Crime Scene"
Todd Miller and Ryan Ripley will take the stage at Madison's Scrum Day to deliver a thought-provoking presentation titled "Your Agile Transformation is a Crime Scene." The abstract of their talk sheds light on an issue prevalent in many organizations—the lack of an empirical way to measure the progress, value, and impact of Agile transformations. While it is common to launch new teams and provide training, the crucial question remains: Are these efforts truly driving improvements in delivery and customer satisfaction?
Miller and Ripley will introduce the concept of Evidence-Based Management (EBM) as a solution to this challenge. EBM empowers leaders to make data-driven decisions by ensuring they measure the right metrics and gather the necessary information to assess progress accurately. By embracing EBM, organizations can minimize risks and optimize their investments, ultimately improving delivery outcomes and enhancing customer experiences.
The presentation will highlight the broader implications of EBM beyond simply being quick to deliver. It will explore how data-driven decision-making can enable organizations to seize new opportunities and stay ahead of their competitors. The speakers aim to inspire attendees to drive real change within their organizations by embracing evidence-based practices.
