Session: Agile Principles and Strategies that Matter in Disruptive Times
Casey Jones joined Buckle, an inclusive tech-enabled financial services company, as marketing project manager six months prior to the onset of the pandemic. When COVID hit, Buckle experienced disruption in every aspect of the organization. Unfortunately, the company underwent a significat reduction in workforce, and IT and product development were hit hard. Casey took over as scrum master, project manager, and some product owner responsibilities of the technology team. She proactively stepped into a leadership role of managing the team’s work, guiding and aligning their software development efforts with Buckle’s business priorities – all with little formal training in Agile methodologies. Her efforts landed her on the shortlist for the 2021 Women in IT USA Awards for the prestigious Outstanding Contribution of the Year Award.Key Takeaways
- Learn Casey's strategies and key Agile principles that allowed Buckle to sustain best-in-class service during these challenging times
- Learn the skills that allowed Casey to take leadership of the team that was formerly 15 in size, now only five – all men.
- Learn the importance of diversity in tech, and in Casey's experience, what individuals can do to advance the progress
