TALK DESCRIPTION

Agile methodologies were a transformational first wave of change in software delivery. New practices & tools around CI / CD further expanded the ability to deliver quality software quickly & confidently.

But for many organizations a lagging horizon is the adoption of a true Product Centric Design cultureone that emphasizes continuous value generation for the business & the customer. A culture that goes beyond the ability to BUILD THINGS RIGHT, it's one that enables you to BUILD THE RIGHT THING, delivering truly impactful services & experiences to the market & value to the business.

There are many valid challenges & obstacles to transforming an organization towards a Lean Product culture, but there are just as many ways to begin adopting behaviors that will kick off a culture shift from the ground up.

Outcomes NOT Excuses will give you a starting pointbehaviors, methods, & insights that will allow you to start gaining the benefits of Lean Product Culture, while creating the conditions for it to successfully spread throughout your organization.
