Little and Spayd on Agile and Organizational Change
Posted by Christophe on February 19, 2008
Agile, once the territory of “early adopters” is coming into the mainstream and meeting resistance. Does this mean Agile can’t work in more traditional teams and organizations?

According to their web site, this is now fixed.
“Good News: We have re-worked our video infrastructure to provide more reliable service. Please email bugs at infoq.com with any problems. “
Time to go back to all those videos.

Functional roles, managers and individual growth in Agile contexts
Posted by Christophe on February 19, 2008
I’ve been listed as a panelist for a submission made by Rachel Weston (from Rally): Functional roles, managers and individual growth in Agile contexts.
Other panelists:
- Esther Derby
- Michael Spayd
Topic:
In this panel session, a group of industry experts will respond to questions relating to the challenges teams and organizations that are moving to Agile practices are experiencing related to functional roles and managers and individual growth and compensation.
Sample questions (final list is still being determined):
- What factors have most impacted individual growth in your organization or organizations you have worked with since the introduction of Agile practices?
- How has the adoption of Agile practices affected functional leadership within organizations?
- How do managers’ behaviors change to support with Agile practices?
- How do compensation models need to change to support Agile practices?
