Taking Agile to the Enterprise – strategy lessons from seven years in transformation

Matt Hosking at Agile on the Beach 2019

A transformation is a large-scale change programme that is often assumed to be something much less significant or wide-reaching than it actually is. This session was aimed at Agile change agents and leaders who are involved in adopting Agile at an enterprise-wide level, and discusses the strategy, culture, problems and opportunities of an agile transformation across the spectrum of a typical large organisation.
