Our Agile Organization Materials at Agile2010
This week both Jean and I delivered talks on the Agile organization at Agile 2010 in Orlando. Whether you were able to attend one, both or neither, this post shares the handouts and materials that we used in the talks.
If you attended, please provide comments on what you liked, were puzzled by and might change in the future.
Jean’s work was a three-hour tutorial on learning models for managing the Agile organization. She ran three exercises and provided a bibliography of books/resources that we have used here at Rally:

In addition to Jean’s talk, I presented an experience report on our use of Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) at Rally. This report tells a story of our evolution of strategy execution from Gazelles/Scrum to Lean/Agile.
We hope these resources provide you with ideas for scaling your own Agile efforts beyond their current levels. Again, please comment on the blog with what you got from the materials or the talks. We want to hear from you on this topic.

Did you happen to catch Wilco Koorn, Senior Consultant and Scrum Master at XebiaLabs, and Jeff Sutherland’s paper presentation at the conference that talked about this?
