AgileCamp Dallas 2019

Not many people can say they have performed as an Analyst, Product Owner, and Scrum Master, much less in the same year, and sometimes at the same time.That has been my journey throughout 2018 and into 2019 thus far, as I made intentional decisions in pursuing my next best step, exploring where I really fit, and experiencing quite a few surprises along the way.

As a CSM and CSPO, I navigated each role taking what I learned in the classroom and implementing it as a practitioner. I learned what works and doesn't work for me and my teams, as well as, what I like and dislike compared to my strengths and weaknesses, especially among changes in organizational needs and structure.

This short and sweet talk will be an overview of my journey and leave attendees with characteristics of each role to help them decide where they might fit in this agile world and avoid some of the challenges I faced.

Agile transformations are similar to road trips: without a map to get you to your destination you will most likely end up lost. Avoid kicking off a toxic transformation by starting out on your journey on the right foot.

In this workshop, we will discuss important first steps an organization should take to provide a strong foundation for implementing Agile successfully. Attendees will leave with a transformation framework they can customize to their organization that will begin to place them on the road to becoming more agile.
