To speed innovation, you are working hard to bring more agility to your software teams. But is your organization keeping up? Scaling Agile often causes friction and pain when resource management, long-staged funding models and traditional new product development approaches throw unintended roadblocks in front of the rapid iterations you are trying to achieve.

But many organizations are finding a solution by adopting Lean Thinking. By minimizing waste and maximizing automation, companies are finding ways of managing, measuring and automating program flows that support and complement the goals of Agile.

In this webinar, join Forrester Senior Analyst Dave West, and Rally founder and CTO Ryan Martens, as they share proof points and real-world examples of how to scale Agile adoption with Lean Thinking. Dave and Ryan will:

• Discuss the challenges of scaling agility
• Introduce the principles of Lean Thinking
• Share observations and examples of Lean Thinking in practice
• Help you make Lean real in your organization
• Provide you with actionable next steps
