Abstract: Like many companies, Intralinks started their Scrum and Agile journey many years ago, but recently have felt that they were not getting the returns on that investment that they expected. Yes, they were using the words, they assigned the roles, they respected and follwed the ceremonies, but their adoption of Scrum had lost that ‘Agile feeling’ and it felt for many that they were going through the motions. It was time for a Scrum and Agile reboot. What did they miss the first time around?
In this presentation hear Richard Gratton VP Product Management of Intralinks and Dave West, CEO and Product Owner Scrum.org describe the journey Intralinks went through and how a reboot can reset priorities regarding what it really means to adopt Scrum. The second time around, it’s not just about the Scrum teams, it’s about the whole organization, and it’s about what it really means to go Agile.
