Presented by: Conscires Agile Practices
Duration: 1 hour 1 Category C FREE

In theory, agile methodologies are easy, but the act of transitioning a team out of their comfort zone and to a new way of working can be very difficult and if not done well can cause unnecessary frustrations and poor Agile implementations.

During this webinar we will discuss how people process change, how to start your transition and how to support it.

Presenter: Erin Beierwaltes

Erin Beierwaltes has led teams from growing start-ups to multinational global companies with emphasis on improving efficiency of development groups and enhancing business processes since 2003.

As an Agile Coach and Certified ScrumMaster she has transitioned groups from waterfall to scrum and has seen the positive effects Agile processes can play in a company.

In an effort to improve the next generation of developers and business leaders Erin routinely acts as a guest lecture for graduate and undergraduate students at the University of Colorado.
