Agile adoption in Large Enterprises
Date: November 26th, 2009 [7:00pm]

The demands on IT organizations of today continue to grow. Software delivery professionals strive to provide increasingly complex software to business users with ever tightening budgets and timelines. How many large IT groups are looking to Agile/Lean delivery practices to help address these challenges? Are any of these organizations adopting agile practices to provide improved outcomes?

 

Deloitte has recently launched the Deloitte Lean Extended Agile for Enterprises (LEAN) initiative in an attempt to evangelize the use of agile techniques to our clients as well as to get an understanding of how agile is currently being used by our client base. As part of the LEAN initiative, Deloitte conducted a Financial Service roundtable discussion dedicated to getting an understanding of what Agile means to IT leadership within the big banks. The roundtable was attended by select IT executives from the 5 major Canadian financial services institutions from within Canada. Topics discussed included current and planned adoption, value of agile, and how best to measure agile success.

 

Deloitte would like to share the results of this roundtable (in an anonymzed fashion) with members of the Toronto Agile User Group. We will present the results of an agile survey completed by member of the roundtable an present a synthesis of the subsequent roundtable dialogue. Deloitte would also like to share an overview of the Deloitte LEAN toolkit.
