Abstract: We’re several years into an agile transformation at IBM and some teams are thriving while others are still struggling. The reasons might surprise you (hint: it’s not about the practices). Come listen to stories of real-life teams and what characteristics seem to predict success or failure, in terms of agile adoption and business outcomes. Prepare to share your own stories and contribute to the discussion.

Participants will:

- Listen to stories of real-world teams who have experienced success - and failure - at adopting and applying agile to software/hardware delivery

- Compare and contrast those team experiences to understand three key factors that predict success or failure: agile leadership, agile mindset/values, and the inclusion of user- and market-centered outcomes

- Contribute to the discussion by sharing their own experiences and insights
