What are Executives Thinking about Agile Development

Each year the Agile Executive Forum brings together executives responsible for large software portfolios to share their experiences with agile development. Todd summarizes what those executives are saying: why they adopted agile, the challenges they faced in scaling it across their organizations, and what they learned along the way.

The session covers what executives fear (surprises), how agile helps them deal with market and technical uncertainty, and how the roles of executives, middle managers, project managers, and developers each need to change for an agile transformation to succeed.
