Managing a large "Agile" organization - After four successful agile releases, the leader of the BMC Performance Manager Engineering organization reflects on an innovative approach to leadership which enabled considerable productivity and quality improvements. Business pressure for rapid improvement was growing. As a result, the organization would be required to demonstrate significant improvements in a very short timeframe. It was clear traditional software development methodologies simply would not work. Under the influence of Israel Gat and other "Agile" thought leaders, the team adopted scrum as the chosen agile methodology. Today the product line is considered revitalized. There have been four successful releases and the team is on a release cadence which will deliver three releases per year. This presentation will focus on key management concepts which enabled an organization of over 200 engineers in 4 locations to overcome such a monumental challenge.
