Enterprise Agile Transformation Seminar - Borland August 5, 2009

Enterprise Agile Transformation –
A Real Case Study

The values of Software Development and Delivery as a "Managed Business Process"

IT organizations are under pressure to make software delivery more efficient and more predictable. But software delivery is notoriously complex, and the process of improving this is rife with challenges: where do you begin?

In this eye-opening discussion, you’ll gain an understanding of what Agile is, and isn’t, and how organizations are incorporating Agile methods into software delivery. You’ll learn how Borland has implemented Agile across its globally distributed teams to increase productivity, morale and faster software delivery. Additionally, you will also learn how Agile has helped Borland forge deeper relationships with customers and is becoming a more adaptive, responsive and predictable software delivery organization.

Two years ago, Borland’s executive team made the decision to transition its globally distributed development organization to Agile as part of an effort to reduce development costs, boost efficiency and quality, and introduce more operational oversight. Today, more than 60 percent of Borland’s development teams are Agile. Pete will share insight into the level and nature of Agile adoption and review the challenges that IT shops face as they undergo an Agile transformation.
