KEYNOTES
------------------------
JEFF SUTHERLAND will evolve a well received talk he gave at AGile 2018 titled: "Linear Scalability of Teams: The Holy Grail of Agile Project Management". Jeff will describe the history of how Scrum was used by himself and Ken Schwaber across many companies leading up to a linearly scalable global project in 2007. Since then recent experience with Saab, Toyota, 3M, GE, transportation and oil companies, and other domains will be described and codication of these experiences into a systematic way of deploying Scrum across domains, across organizations, and across the globe will be shared. The essentials for developing a "scale-free" organization architecture will be emphasized based on input from the Agile leaders of the largest known Scrum implementations at Intel and SAP.
DAVID WEST will present: "The Two Things You Need for Business Agility" in which David will describe how the foundation of an agile business is great teams and the right measures. He will detail how many organizations use Scrum as the foundation to build great teams and add Evidence Based Measurement to provide value-based feedback for adaption. The session will provide many examples that describe how leading organizations are adopting this approach, the challenges and the adoption patterns.

THEME: BUSINESS AGILITY
------------------------
Business Agility is the ability of an organization to adapt to new conditions and to rapidly respond to the market, customer or changing environment. But the business cannot be agile with a piecemeal approach to agility. Instead, the Agile transformation must occur holistically across the value stream for true Business Agility to be achieved. Its only by establishing a true dynamic network of autonomous teams that own the delivery of value, supported by the environment and culture around them, and guided and inspired by a strong vision and strategy, will companies succeed.
Scrum is an integral part of this holistic transformation since the application of Scrum has progressed way beyond software and now touches every aspect of the business from IT, to Finance, HR and even Marketing. The term Business Agility is now a phrase that is in common use. New frameworks and new forms of Scrum are addressing this reality now, throughout the world.
At this years Give Thanks for Scrum event, we explore Business Agility and how Scrum can help companies achieve it!
