Presentation that I gave at Agile Australia 2012 in Melbourne, and at Agile Encore 2012 in Auckland.
Agile, Lean, Kanban, DevOps, Continuous Delivery! Fundamentally, all these methodologies are predicated on effective system and culture change. They require people and teams to work together to negotiate outcomes, remove inefficiencies, and deliver great business outcomes.
This talk focusses on the practicalities of building a high-performing team that can execute within a chosen methodology, and deliver awesome business outcomes. It includes practical tips on motivation, hiring, and team building across distributed teams, and gives real life examples of successes (and failures).
