Listen to the Replay – The 7 Elements of Technical Agility: How to Avoid the Most Common Risk to Long-Term Value Delivery

Listen to the replay of Gil Broza's webinar – The 7 Elements of Technical Agility: How to Avoid the Most Common Risk to Long-Term Value Delivery

Access the replay here:
Your team is agile. They develop features in decreasing order of value and risk, and demo them regularly. They absorb requirement changes. Team members feel free to work all around the codebase. This seems okay, but you have doubts…
  • Does the team forgo design or use mini-Waterfalls to meet the demo deadline?
  • Do developers say they rarely have time to go back and clean the code or its design?
  • Are some estimates for easy-looking features surprisingly high?
If so, your team — however bright and dedicated — is producing legacy code (in quick iterations); their *technical Agility* doesn't align with their business and process Agility. And if the product has any significant lifespan, progress will slow down predictably over time, jeopardizing schedule commitments and future development.
Do you manage or lead a team like this? This is a risk and a liability you must manage. In this webinar, you will:
  • Discover what specifically is involved in technical Agility (hint: it's not just TDD and CI).
  • Be able to gauge your team's level of technical Agility — and its consequences
  • Envision technical Agility applied in your environment, and how to make that happen
