Speaker's Session
Maps and guides are great. They can keep you on the path. But what do you do when the path is overgrown, you have no compass, and the way forward is unclear? Put another way, what do you do when you realize, “the map is not the territory.” In this keynote, Avi Schneier from Agileon presents a compelling case for moving beyond the Scrum and Scrum@Scale guides. In an active participatory session, we will explore what it would mean to redefine the roles of not only Scrum Masters and Product Owners, but all team members and leadership in an organization that wants to scale the benefits of Scrum and the resulting business agility. Through practical insights, this keynote challenges traditional views of accountability within and across agile teams at scale, presenting pragmatic solutions over strict idealism, which often results in a failed implementation.
