Vinaya is an Enterprise Agile Coach currently working in Fiserv. She helps organizations adopt ways of working that help them boost value-delivery, quality, responsiveness and sustainability. Her journey into the transformation domain started with the Theory of Constraints, went on to Kanban, Scrum, SAFe, Disciplined Agile and many things in between. Her fascination with how large, complex systems work drives her passion for agility. She is an active member of the Agile community and enjoys learning from and contributing to it. Presenting at conferences is a small way for her to share her experiences and thoughts with a large group and also get feedback.

Framework Agnostic Agility

Through this talk, Vinaya would like to share her views and experience about taking a framework-agnostic approach to agility. Her current engagement is at a large scale and does not use a canned approach to scaling Agile. The experience report will talk about the reasons to take such an approach, what it looks like, what enabling conditions have helped, what are some signs that show that this approach is working and more. The session will also draw parallel between this approach and the Kanban Change Management approach. It will also showcase how some of the Kanban core practices evolve organically in the pursuit of agility.
