Abstract/Description

Deliver working, bug-free software daily using Acceptance Test Driven Development, TDD, Continuous Integration, Automated Infrastructure and Cloud Based Deployments connected to Internal Data Centers. All of this in a regulated, siloed, schedule driven and extremely political environment. Add to this long release cycles, slow hardware procurements, technology review boards, and cranky sysadmins. Think it’s not possible?

Join Alyssa Riedl, Director at the US Department of Treasury and Nayan Hajratwala, Lean/Agile Coach as they discuss their experiences delivering a multi-billion dollar project based on Agile Principles and Practices where no one thought it was possible and without the use of any branded “Scaling Frameworks”. Spoiler Alert: Requires a commitment to effective collaboration and an open culture.
