Dr. Jeff Sutherland, CTO, PatientKeeper ,USA
Jeff started the first Scrum at Easel Corporation in 1993 and worked with Scrum Co-Creator Ken Schwaber, to formalize the Scrum development process at OOPSLA'95. In the same year, Sutherland provided Kent Beck all background information on the creation of Scrum. XP engineering practices then evolved along with SCRUM and the two leading Agile development processes work well together. Scrum and XP are the most widely used Agile processes worldwide and their creators are authors of the Agile Manifesto. Jeff is CTO and Worldwide Scrum Consulting Practice Manager for PatientKeeper. His company started Scrum seven years ago as a startup and involves the whole company in the Scrum process including senior management. He leads many of his Scrum Certification courses at PatientKeeper where the Chief Product Owner reviews the PatientKeeper Product Backlog and explains how to run a MetaScrum of stakeholders and how to ship dozens of production releases of software every year. Jeff has been VP of Engineering and/or CTO for 9 software product companies, developing Scrum in 4 of them and introducing today's standard Scrum methodology to 5 of them. As CTO of PatientKeeper and IDX, he used Scrum to capture industry leadership for mobile application platforms in healthcare, enabling physicians to enhance revenue, reduce cost, and improve patient care.
The Agile Enterprise:
Real World Experience in Creating Agile Companies
Creating a successful Scrum team is only the first step on the road to an Agile company. In most enterprises today, you must create a successful product portfolio delivered by distributed/outsourced teams. Even then, to win in a market segment, an Agile approach to the enterprise product strategy is needed to dramatically improve opportunity for success. How to implement an Enterprise Type C Scrum will be discussed along with challenges and solutions from several companies currently running an enterprise Scrum with emergent product strategies and dynamic, iterative changes in company direction at the senior management level to achieve deep penetration of a market sweet spot.
