Xebia is hosting a series of webinars in the morning to inspire you about relevant topics in Digital Transformation, Digital Management and Business Agility.
Value delivery is essential for growth as well as for the effective adoption of Agile practices. Strategy needs to be effectively aligned with execution. However, what if delivering or demonstrating value is complicated by internal complexity, lack of business integration and lack of accountability? It certainly put a stress on transitioning towards Agile way of working and on the resources. As a result, the value promised by Agile is not unlocked. Whether its organizational complexity with strong waterfall control processes, or lack of cross-unit alignment, lack of ownership in decision making or lack of understanding of the Agile Portfolio Management (PM) fundamentals – there is a way to make it work and make Agile PM a catalyst of strategic alignment and of your Digital & Agile transformation.
Xebia's Digital and Agile Transformation Consultants Daria Nozhkina and Theo Gerrits, as well as the industry thought leader and practitioner Robert de Moed, Portfolio Manager at Philips DMEC, will be sharing crucial insights and experiences to help you get your Agile PM working for you, not against you.
