“Woman Has the Power to Create, Nurture and Transform.”

 

India Scrum Enthusiasts Community (ISEC) invites all Agile Enthusiasts for our upcoming conference in Hyderabad as part of Agile Tour on 18th December. The theme of the event is “Women in Agile: Agility beyond Workplace.”  We all are so much focused on implementing Agility at workplaces that we fail to realize women have been using Agility beyond workplaces from ages. This conference will mark and establish a psychological awakening for all of us to recognize women as Agile masters of all. You will be able to discuss application of Agility beyond workplaces and the problem faced by working women in balancing personal & professional life. We at ISEC salute the power and triumph of women in all the field. An eye opener for all of us to understand the problem they face.

Let’s join hands and be a part of the conference and encourage, support and expand women in Agile.

The Agenda for the Agile Tour is:

 

The seed of Agile Innovation can be traced back to Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) cycles by Walter Shewhart which used iterative and incremental-development methodology to directing towards the improvement of products and processes. It is surprising yet debatable that how this concept was implemented by Edwards Deming for Toyota. From history to present, we see a much-evolved Agile methodologies which rooted to different dimensions of innovations.

As Ken and Jeff (Authors of Scrum) pointed out, “Both Agile and innovation are based on the simple act of learning how to see reality clearly, and on adopting a nimble approach to implementation”. Now, point of discussion is how the meaning of Innovation and Agile is perceived in an Agile world.

In the complex merger or marriage of innovation and agility, there has being continuous dispute if Agile Kills Innovation! Let’s confer on the beauty of Agile which can be tailor-made & modified in diverse spheres to reassure Innovation. Time to voice on the opinions of innovating and adapting Agile in workplaces.

Let’s join hands and discover if the art of innovation and Agile Philosophy blend together? To register now for Agile Tour Pune conference click here  or mail us at shrutik@isecindia.org, gaurigj@isecindia.org.
