Agile Team Performance Management

Presented by Arlen Bankston and Sanjiv Augustine of LitheSpeed

While many organizations have adopted Agile approaches at a project level, few have effectively aligned their human performance management processes with Agile values.  This interactive, workshop-style discussion will explore the subject of creating a truly holistic performance system that not only adheres to Agile principles, but actively promotes maturity in applying them to the delivery of measurable business and user value. 

Topics covered will include:

  • What is wrong with performance management today?
  • Trends in performance management evolution. 
  • A holistic, results-oriented framework for Agile team and individual performance management.
