Session Dual Track Agile and failing fast - A case study
This session will have 2 parts:
- An introduction of what Dual Track Agile is and what could be the best use cases
- A case study on how they implemented it at Digital Foundry (Computershare) as part of digital transformation!
Imagine two trains working in tandem: one researching new tracks, the other building on the proven ones. That’s Dual-Track Agile! This Agile method splits your team into discovery and delivery tracks.
Discovery focuses on validating ideas quickly with prototypes and research, ensuring you build what customers need. They feed the delivery track with validated features, who then build and release them promptly.
This parallel work helps you:
- Reduce wasted effort: Build features customers actually want.
- Increase speed: No waiting for research before building.
- Boost confidence: Know you’re building the right things.
- Get feedback fast: Iterate on validated features quickly.
Think of it this way: While one train explores promising new routes, the other delivers passengers efficiently. With Dual-Track Agile, you explore and deliver value simultaneously, reaching your destination (successful product) faster!
Attend this session to find out how to make Dual-Track Agile work for you.
