For many, the most arduous part of transitioning to Agile happens at the beginning—in the uncertainty of how to put the initiative into motion. In this presentation, strategies and best practices to begin incorporating Agile practices are revealed. Real-world experiences working with existing project teams to begin incorporating Agile practices and ceremonies are shared. By initiating practices, teams start to understand Agile principles and mindset and become better prepared to take the next steps on their Agile journey.
