IBM Engineering Insider Series | Scaled Agile meets Global Configuration Management

Description

Many large clients are exploring IBM’s Engineering Lifecycle Management (ELM) global configuration management capabilities to enable parallel and variant development. At the same time, they are looking to embrace enterprise Scaled Agile (SAFe® ) principles to drive increased business value from their development activities.

Can you do both? YES! In this session, we’ll explore how to combine these two approaches to increase efficiency and maximize value.
