Change is only valuable if it is implemented in a way that assures lasting improvement. Also, long, large scope milestone-driven projects inevitably fail to live up to expectations. Agile Development provides a way for largescale system development to avoid this pitfall. But what of Lean? Typically, Lean takes an incremental approach to improvement, or Continuous Improvement, to implement change. But what do you do when your organization needs an order of magnitude (or larger) improvement?
Peppered with real-life experiences, this presentation will start by providing a grounding in the fundamentals of both Agile Development and Lean. It will then present how to use Lean to design transformational process improvement. Next, we explore how Agile Development principles can be applied to closing the gap between current and future state processes, yielding measurable interim, and lasting final, performance improvement. In addition, the impact of this approach on managing change will also be discussed.
