  • Agile at Scale: 3 Must-Have Tools for Enterprise Agile Teams

    31/08/2018 Duration: 30min

    Many of the world’s biggest companies struggle to be nimble, efficient, and data-driven, which then makes them less productive than they should be. It’s not just their size that holds them back - much of the problem is created by a traditional business model that’s been created for scale and standardization, rather than for agility and innovation. While many organizations have teams working in an Agile way, very few businesses have been able to implement this model across their entire enterprise. As companies move from implementing agile on individual projects to portfolios and, ultimately, to an entire business, more and more core processes need to be adapted—a significant operational challenge in itself. Join the Continuous Engineering Experts’ Bryan Smith as he welcomes back IBM Solutions Architect, Amy Silberbauer to the show, as she gives us an in-depth overview and demo of 3 must have tools for Enterprise Agile teams. _________ Short on time?

  • Agile & Model Based Systems Engineering

    31/08/2018 Duration: 37min

    Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) is the practice of developing a set of related system models that help define, design, and document a system under development. These models provide an efficient way to explore, update, and communicate system aspects to fellow System Engineers and business stakeholders (like clients or software engineers) while significantly reducing or eliminating dependence on traditional documents. When combined with Agile & Lean practices - where the focus is based on adaptive planning and fast-learning and shorter delivery times – Agile & MBSE become a powerful discipline that allows engineers to quickly and incrementally learn about the system under development before the cost of change gets too high. Join the Continuous Engineering Experts’ Bryan Smith as he welcomes Dr. Bruce Douglass – IBM’s Chief Evangelist for their Watson IoT division – as they discuss the benefits to adopting Agile and Model Based Systems Engineering and how you can get started with aMBSE in your organiza

    31/08/2018 Duration: 29min

    Banks and financial services organizations of all sizes are now more concerned than ever about cybersecurity risk and compliance management. The scope and nature of managing compliance have evolved and are no longer limited to rules-based banking regulations. Operational and compliance risks have become more complex and entwined, increasing the potential for failed processes that cause customer confusion and compliance control breakdowns. Without a new approach to cyber risk, compliance and operational risk management, many financial services institutions will continue to face high costs and losses in the form of escalating litigation, penalties, and staffing needs. Join the Continuous Engineering Experts’ Bryan Smith as he welcomes Bradford Leigh from IBM to the show, as he shares with us some best practices in how to successfully manage your cyber security and compliance requirements.
