Professional Agile Leadership is a workshop organization for leaders, senior and middle management. The workshop provides a foundation for the role that leaders play in creating the conditions for a successful agile transformation. Leaders and managers are critical enablers in helping their organizations be successful, yet the role of leaders and managers in an agile organization can be quite different from what they are used to. This workshop will equip leaders and managers to help their organizations change by providing participants with:

• An understanding of how to measure the benefits and impacts of agility in your organization
• What takes to become a servant leader from a traditional manager to manage change more effectively
• Change is hard and become harder without motivated people so how to motivate the team during change
• An understanding of how culture and values influence your organization’s ability to reap the benefits of agility
• An understanding of how Agile addresses the root causes of business uncertainty and IT project failure and/or dissatisfied customers
• The ability to compare and contrast Agile practices with alternative business practices and discuss how Agile fosters a culture of innovation and enhances financial performance
• An understanding of how to help form and support agile teams using an empirical approach to product delivery
• An understanding of typical challenges that agile teams face and how to support them by removing impediments

This workshop uses a combination of instruction and team-based exercises to help participants learn how to form and support agile teams to achieve better results, and how to lead the cultural and behavioral changes that organizations must make to reap the benefits of an agile product delivery approach.
