Documentation Dilemma

"Documentation"- even just that one word can make people, especially those in the IT industry squirm, feel a sense of dread or just run screaming into the hills. Combine this with the myth that Agile equals "no documents" and it is easy to see why some implementations of Agile frameworks fail or have a number of bumps along the way. Any organisation wanting to adopt Agile or who is currently adopting Agile must see the change process with a holistic view, and often documentation is left out of the loop until it's too late, souring the otherwise excellent work on the project. This presentation is aimed at people who are in the early stages of Agile adoption or who are now facing the document dilemma as they work to change their organisation.

Our speaker - Mike Lowery, Agile Consultant, 3months

Previously he worked for the ACC where he line managed up to 18 project managers and piloted an Agile approach using Scrum.Prior to emigrating to New Zealand, Mike worked as a senior project manager (PM Team Lead) and Agile champion at the BBC. His previous experience includes working for two big-5 consultancy firms, delivering local government IT projects in the UK and working in telecommunications manufacturing. He also spent just over six years in the Military, where adaptive, responsive planning to dramatically changing situations with immediate feedback (some of it hostile) is the norm.Thanks to our founding sponsors: 3months, Equinox, Fronde, Optimation
