Transforming a Public Sector Company: From Stone Age to Agile

Abstract

On June 7, 2012, our CIO walked our Kanban board with the management team. When he saw a low priority feature being worked on, he took it off the board and told them to stop. This was the first time he'd had an organization with the transparency and flexibility that gave him this kind of control. We provided the opportunity to empower our executives as much as our workers.
