A Product Manager’s Guide to Surviving the Transition to Agile Development

Wednesday July 2nd

Many software organizations today ask “How do we make a transition to Agile development and what benefits will we get?”. Should you transition your organization to Agile all at once or proceed more iteratively, team by team?

This talk will cover:

* Salesforce.com's year of living dangerously as we moved our entire R&D organization from a Waterfall based approach to an Agile model in just 3 months

* How Product Managers survived the transition, and what we have learned

* Why Agile development works so well for Software as a Service (Saas) and Platform-as-a-Service (Paas) companies

During these 18 months, Salesforce.com has refined and measured our progress and learned many lessons. It was a risky approach that has ultimately delivered dramatic results and extraordinary business value.

Rasmus will present the approach Salesforce.com took, the business value we achieved, and the impact on team morale as measured by our quarterly team wide survey.
