PM Insights Foster City presents
Deliver a Mountain Every Week: Aligning 100+ teams to deliver business goals
This talk describes huge company-wide initiatives that need a well-orchestrated work; integration and delivery across divisions, planning across geographical boundaries with 100+ small cross-functional teams.
It’s a herculean effort to keep cross-functional teams aligned to achieve prodigious business results. 100+ teams singing "Kumbaya" is not just a desire, but also considered essential to achieve extreme user satisfaction. Come witness and participate in this talk to understand the challenges, identify risks and opportunities, and learn simple tools and techniques that can help -- all the fun of being at the center of the universe to achieve an organization's audacious goals.
By attending this event, you will:
• Learn to navigate through challenges of running a cross-org initiative
• Scale from a small team to cross-org integrated deliverable
• Get commitments from 100+ teams for aligned delivery
• Practice effective communication between teams, within leaders and with the mothership
If you’re challenged with scaling at large across the org to get the best results, this is the event you shouldn’t miss!
