\nTopic: \; \;INCOSE-LA Speak
er Meeting &ldquo\;Look! The Gorillas are Doing Ballet- an Agile Transform
ation Story (Navy)&rdquo\; \; \;with \;Cindy VanEpps
< strong>Abstract:  \;Development of mission-critical military systems is like walking through a complex jungle of risk\, compliance\, ov ersight and responsibility.
\nSimilar to watching an episode of &ld quo\;Running Wild with Bear Grylls&rdquo\; - \; the intrigue\, suspens e and eventual relief of survival are some of the emotional highs and lows you&rsquo\;ll experience going through an organization-wide transformatio n. \; While it will never make for prime time TV watching\, the need f or this systems and process evolution and its eventual manifestation are n o less remarkable.
\nIn this session\, we'll act as your personal ju ngle guide as we walk you through a transformational journey and spare you neither the gory details nor the poignant insights. \; Who are the pl ayers and personalities involved? \; What are the motivations and acti ons - both blatantly observable and those hidden in the shadows? What are the obvious as well as the creative solutions to help the organization cro ss the divide? \;
\nThis story will show you how a development organization transformed from - \; "We could never do it the agile way "- to "We can never do it any other way!"
\nBiography:  \; Cindy&rsquo\;s first job out of college was crafting Space Shu ttle Flight Design Software at Johnson Space Center. \; Over the subse quent years she has been a software developer\, technical lead\, developme nt manager\, consultant\, and solution developer.
\nShe has worked w ith numerous system engineering companies and with each she has proven suc cess at helping transform traditional waterfall and highly regulated envir onments to agile and scaled agile practices.
\nIn her thought leader ship\, teaching and consulting she has proven a wealth of knowledge and cr eativity but more importantly she brings pragmatism to the application of Agile practices. \; She &ldquo\;practices what she preaches&rdquo\; on the importance of focus on principles and evolving the specific practices based on both relentless improvement and application of the principles in the way that provides most economic benefit.
\nAs a SAFe &trade\; P
rogram Consultant Trainer (SPCT) her pragmatic approach and entertaining s
tyle make her a fan favorite.
