The Agile Mindset - How to keep your company lean and nimble

Agile Development is more than the a buzzword or manifesto. It represents an approach to building software where collaboration and short iterative cycles allow new products and features to be launched into the marketplace quickly with high quality.

This approach is now being adopted outside the software industry by government agencies and manufacturing companies to meet customer needs in a rapidly changing world. Agility is needed to thrive.

This talk will focus on the 5 steps necessary to adopt an agile mindset:

1. Agile Thinking: "Breaking Complex Tasks into Simple Steps"
2. Collaboration: "Breaking Down Organizational Silo's and Hierarchical Thinking"
3. Product Management:" Prioritization and Focus"
4. Agile Change Agent: "Don't Be Robin"
5. Agile Scaling: "Big Projects in Agile the SAFe way"

Following this discussion AJ Jaghori and Chris Petrakis the co-founders of Solebrity, a social commerce start-up based in Loudoun County will demonstrate a Lean and Agile product.
