SUMMARY:Presenter Series: Assumptions and Ambiguity be Damned.
DESCRIPTION:This a continuation of our Presenter Series. The presenter series is onsite only and seeks to bring in leading speakers to share their experiences in order to provoke new ideas and challenge existing paradigms within the agile space. \nJoin us as Dennis Stevens presents on “Assumptions and Ambiguity be Damned. Develop a Strategy to Embrace Change.”. \nDescription:Markets are changing faster than typical strategic planning cycles can support. Additionally\, digital strategies are increasing interdependencies and exacerbating the strain on execution. Strategic planning often falls short because it’s not as fluid as it needs to be. \nOne thing we must consider\, is that there are—typically— a lot of assumptions being made about markets as well as the organization’s capacity to execute. Those assumptions often miss the mark when attempting to meet the ever-changing needs and expectations of shareholders and customers. \nAgile provides the opportunity to create the requisite adaptability to validate and adapt to as we understand our ability to deliver and the realizable value of our strategies. \nMore about Dennis Stevens:For over 25 years\, Dennis Stevens has been helping organizations leverage technology to improve their business performance. As Chief Methodologist and Co-Founder of LeadingAgile\, he is focused on the pragmatic application of Lean and Agile thinking to integrate Project Management\, Business Analysis\, and Software Engineering in a way that enables scaling Agile to the Enterprise. \nDennis was a significant contributor to Microsoft’s Business Architecture methodology\, was the Deputy Project Manager for PMI’s OPM3 Second Edition\, and served on both the IIBA and PMI steering committees figure out how to employ agile and lean for their constituents. \nHe was published in the June 2008 Harvard Business Review article “The Next Revolution in Productivity” (https://hbr.org/2008/06/the-next-revolution-in-productivity). Dennis is co-author of the Cutter Consortium Executive Report “Rethinking the Agile Enterprise” discussing incremental strategies to Enterprise Agile adoption. He is recognized as a contributor to Ric Merrifield’s “Re-Th!nk: A Business Manifesto for Cutting Costs and Boosting Innovation” and David J. Anderson’s “Kanban: Successful Evolutionary Change for Your Technology Business.”

SUMMARY:SAFe Scrum Master with SSM Certification
DESCRIPTION:Register Here \nIn this two-day course\, attendees will gain an understanding of the role of a Scrum Master in a SAFe enterprise. Unlike traditional Scrum Master training that focuses on the fundamentals of team-level Scrum\, the SAFe Scrum Master course explores the role of the Scrum Master in the context of the entire enterprise\, and prepares attendees to successfully plan and execute the Program Increment (PI)\, the primary enabler of alignment throughout all levels of a SAFe organization. This includes learning the key components of Agile at scale development\, how Scrum is facilitated throughout the enterprise\, and how to execute Iteration Planning. \nAttendees will also discover how to build high performing Agile teams by becoming a servant leader and coach\, and how to coach those teams to deliver the maximum business value at scale. SAFe 4 Scrum Master (SSM) certification signifies that people are prepared to perform the role of Scrum Master in a SAFe environment\, increasing their value to teams and organizations that are implementing SAFe.

SUMMARY:Agile Lunch Bunch @AgileThought (400/Abernathy)
DESCRIPTION:Note: Due to Agile Day Atlanta conference\, AgileThought has kindly agreed to shift back hosting by 1 month. \nAgenda begins with optional Lightning Talk “Openers” before moving into Lean Coffee format. If you want to propose a Lightning Talk\, feel go with the standard Agile Alliance conference format of 3 min slideless\, 5 slides in 5 min\, or 7 min Pecha Kucha (20 slides\, 20 sec). \nThen we’ll shift to an adapted Lean Coffee format (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zhG-A-kRPAU) so come load our backlog with your interests\, questions\, and ideas. We’ve had great feedback on how the ensuing dialogue will really get a feel for the “pulse” of the Atlanta Agile community. Consistently strong engagement and interactions have sparked our learning. \nLunch will be provided! Please keep the input on how to best optimize and evolve the dialogue! \nSee you all there! \nRob Phillips \n(678) 557-9522

SUMMARY:Business Agility Atlanta June meetup
DESCRIPTION:The Business Agility Atlanta meetup is an open\, interactive and collaborative discussion of Business Agility approaches across the enterprise including HR\, Marketing\, Finance\, Support\, Sales\, Recruiting\, Operations\, etc. Come join the conversation at one of our monthly meetups\, share your experiences and collaborate with others actively pursuing ways to be more responsive and effective in all parts of the enterprise. \nOur June speaker is Jason Molesworth leading a discussion on “Building an ROI-driven case for Business Agility and Clear Enterprise Agility Metrics “ \nWhile the strategic benefits of Business Agility are clearly compelling\, the sheer breadth of transformation involved can make developing a clear Return on Investment (ROI) model challenging. This session is intended to be an interactive exploration of the factors that should be explored when building the case for a Business Agility Transformation effort. Topics to include:• Establishing a clear baseline for team-level Agility maturity• Defining a quantitative connection between maturity and value delivery• Exploring the increased value delivery associated with increased team maturity• Discussing the average team-level costs of a Business Agility transformation• Deriving a clear (and compelling) ROI view of a cohesive Business Agility transformation \nThe stakes are high\, and the benefits are clear. Come join the discussion and let’s explore ways to frame the benefits of Business Agility in a way that can help stakeholders clearly articulate the full ROI impacts of their efforts and get the critical funding needed to realize Business Agility across the Enterprise! \nAudience: executives\, digital transformation leaders\, agile leaders\, business and technical leadership\, designers\, product leadership\, marketing\, sales\, HR\, and all other do’ers. \nParking is free at the venue and the meetup is on the 5th floor (suite 500).

SUMMARY:All Things Agile Gwinnett (ATAG)
DESCRIPTION:The June meetup agenda will start off with lunch sponsored by Genuent. Once everyone has had a chance to get settled\, we will kickoff the meetup with brief individual introductions (10 secs each). \nThe event will then move to our guest speaker\, Mark Sheffield\, who will be presenting via Zoom video. Mark is an Agile Coach\, author\, and IT consultant. He co-wrote the book “Inviting Leadership” with Daniel Mezick. For the ATAG June meetup\, he will share with us the power of Openspace Agility and how it can help engage a team for a common vision and goal. \nThe second half of the event we will use the Lean Coffee (http://leancoffee.org/) format. Lean Coffee is a structured\, but agenda-less meeting. Participants will gather\, build an agenda (backlog of topics)\, and begin the discussion. Conversations are directed and productive because the agenda for the meeting is democratically generated. \nWe will close the meetup with a “Rapid Retrospective” (5 minutes) covering what was beneficial to the group and what could be enhanced in future ATAG meetups. \nThe total event time is scheduled for ~1.5 hrs. \nPlease arrive a few minutes early because attendees will need to sign in at the front desk. Parking is available in front of the building and behind the building. Please park on the M3 side since the other side of the lot is owned by SAGE. \nWe look forward to seeing you there! \nWalt and Derwin

SUMMARY:Workshop: Having fun generating Synthetic Data for test
DESCRIPTION:New regulations and increasing awareness of the importance of protecting data has caused companies to lock down data systems. Not having high-quality data leads to a variety of issues including making it more difficult to find bugs. In this workshop\, we will look at a variety of ways to populate your dev/staging environments with high-quality synthetic data that is similar to your production data. \nWe will accomplish this as a group by looking at a variety of data sets and going through each in an organized fashion while discussing the pros and cons of various techniques. \nThis workshop will be fun but also technical. By technical\, we don’t mean you need to be a math whiz\, but we will challenge your data insights and encourage you to push the analytical envelope. \nPresenterAdam Kamor (adam@tonic.ai). Since completing his PhD in Physics at Georgia Tech\, Adam has committed himself to furthering the work of others through the programs he develops. He is currently head of engineering at Tonic (https://tonic.ai)\, the platform for generating synthetic data. \nHow to find usThe location is in Inman Park.
