Sessions

Scaling Agile for MES Lifecycle Management

Case Study

Monday, March 23

02:10 pm - 02:35 pm

Live in Everett

Less Details

Shifting MES delivery from traditional waterfall to an agile, “Teams of Teams” model enables faster, controlled value release and reduced operational risk. This approach allows organizations to evolve systems continuously—integrating new capabilities without destabilizing core processes—while aligning IT, operations, and quality in a unified delivery cadence. In this session you will learn how to:

  • Structure incremental MES rollouts that minimize operational disruption.
  • Synchronize agile delivery with compliance and validation requirements.
  • Coordinate “Teams of Teams” to accelerate and sustain MES evolution.
