How to save €1,000,000 in seven days - Seriously

ALI invites: How to save €1,000,000 in seven days - and results of survey on Queueing Familiarity amongst Agile practitioners

Did you know that you can have a stable team and an unstable system? That you can have falling lead time and a growing backlog? That Little's Law, Brooks Law and 2-pizza rule can create enormous amounts of waste? This talk will present the results of 4 years of doctoral research into over 2,000 Agile systems that have been running over the last 23 years. It will show how Agile frameworks are built on Queueing Theory either directly or indirectly via Lean Manufacturing. You will learn how an assumption from the Queueing Theory used never applies in Agile and that assumption can lead to damage and waste in many real systems. You will receive details of an open sourced initiative to try to to fix this problem and improve predictability, stability, quality and control in one easy to use model. You will learn how to use this in your organization to eliminate waste of €1,000,000 in seven days and benchmark your teams performance against thousands of peers. Oh, and the results of a recent survey on Queueing Familiarity will be presented too.
