Over the last two decades agile has gone from obscurity to ubiquity, evolving a lot along the way. Agile forerunners continuously push boundaries and realize major productivity gains as a result. But despite agile being everywhere these days, many data teams struggle to adopt it effectively. Even small agile misapplications can end up decreasing productivity instead of increasing it. This creates a growing productivity gap between data teams that use agile effectively and those that don’t, which can mean the difference between a data team being a competitive asset or a costly liability. In this talk, we’ll dig into modern agile concepts and how they can be applied to manage and run high-performing data teams starting from the basics and working up to recent trends in areas like DataOps, lean workflows, continuous delivery, and objective reliability management.
