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.
