Operational Agility

When it comes to Agile at FIS, most of what we talk about is related to the Development process, or “Building”, and it ends with Release. Ignoring the realities of not “Operating/Running” in an Agile way is significantly hindering our business. We will discuss a key metric to easily assess your product’s Agile operations, the reality that most of us are currently experiencing, and practical steps you and your team can take to get closer to the ideal. All this will have significant positive impacts on our colleagues and clients!

Agile Roles

Business Agility calls for us to look at all roles in a different way. Colleagues want to know how they fit into an Agile structure and their responsibilities, yet, in a Value-Stream-aligned system, the usual hierarchy creates impediments to the flow of value to the customer. In this presentation, attendees will understand an Agile approach to our roles based on intent.
