［Keynote Speech（70 minutes）］Evolving from the Traditional to 21st Century Portfolio Management

Even though traditional models and assumptions represent thinking that originated in the 1890s with Taylor (fixation on efficiency and utilisation) and Gantt (of Gantt chart fame) they seem remarkably impervious to change. Our problem is that we need to change otherwise we can never achieve true business agility.
In this talk I will contrast the differences between traditional end to end portfolio management and what is now needed in the 21st Century! Subjects discussed are traditional legacy mindsets, the need for change, business cases and plans, annual funding, managing work in progress, the project construct, delivery vs value, and hidden progress.
This will be followed by a case study of how this new theory of work has been implemented in a large Telco in Australia.

［Special Session （70 minutes）］ The role of the organization and the customer in the enterprise Agile development (A case study)

This session describes the journey taken to scale Agile across an enterprise. It explores the early steps of Agile projects and the challenges they face in dealing with the wider organisational constraints.
We then follow the journey into program level Agile and up to the Agile PMO, along the way we look at how to start to break down the organisational constraints piece by piece including finance, HR and Procurement.
The session is a case study more so than theory and looks at the issues through the eyes of the CIO and IT leadership as the look to become more responsive to customer needs while balancing corporate demands for reducing costs and increasing IT capacity.
