Implementing Scrum/PM at EMC Centera
You have to be a member to view this video.
EMC Centera has gone through some major changes in the last two years in the way they deliver products. The implementation of Scrum at Centera has gone hand-in-hand with the implementation of a matrix organization.
Implementing Scrum in a Matrix environment presented a number of significant challenges but has ultimately proved to be extremely successful. Centera has been commended by senior management as a highly productive organization delivering quality and predictably. In this discussion, EMC Centera Senior Program Manager Michael Jack and Bob Sarni, the Agile Practice leader for CIBER's Agile practice will discuss some of the more challenging issues that EMC Centera faced, how they solved them and alternative solutions which could be valuable to others who are working on introducing Scrum in a Matrix organization.
