SPEAKER PRESENTATION
Conference Track: Tutorial
Additional fee to attend: $250.
Scaled Agile framework has given good benefits to organizations by way of better coordination between teams, faster time to market and leaning of processes. The predictability and consistency of SAFe® can be further improved through integration with CMMI V2.0 high maturity practices. This tutorial will describe the structured implementation of CMMI V2.0 high maturity practices along with scaled agile framework. The tutorial will illustrate how a software organization addressed problems in quality and customer satisfaction, through a transformational system for project delivery using a combination of CMMI V2.0 and Scaled Agile. Lack of predictive capability, defect leakage and unrealistic commitments were addressed through prediction models, in-process monitoring, causal analysis and defect type simulations. The resultant system focused on better collaboration with customers, improved quantitative visibility and cross functional team management and resulted in a reduction of defect density by 23% and improvement in CSAT index by 18%, within a period of 12 months.
