Topic Details - Implementing Agile in a non-IT setting

As success mounted with IT Agile teams at a Fortune 200 Financial Services company, the positive buzz prompted many to ask why this could not be applied in a non-IT setting as well. Well, it can! There are now over a dozen non-IT Agile initiatives. This session will explore what applying Agile in this setting really looks like, when it makes sense and when it does not, how it is different from IT Agile initiatives, and what we would do differently if we had the chance. Open yourself to the possibility of Agile everywhere.

Background on APLN

 

The Agile Project Leadership Network (APLN) is focused on helping businesses (and other organizations) deliver greater business value by making projects more effective.

 

Specifically, the ALPN wants to help people become great project leaders by focusing on the following:

 

Value Customers Teams
Individuals Context Uncertainty

 

These ideas are described further in the Declaration of Interdependence, which was written by the founding members of APLN and expresses the values that the group holds with respect to leading projects in today's chaotic world.

 

The national APLN was founded by a group of people who are active in writing about, practicing, and evangelizing the movement towards fast, flexible, customer value driven approaches to leading projects of many types.

 

Although ALPN is separate from the Agile Alliance, our intention is to work closely with that group within the software community, but also work with people and companies outside of software and IT to help them become better Project Leaders.
