What do we mean by benchmarking?
• Investigate the two sets of Agile implementations• How we differ and why?• What should we take from the process?• How can we share our experience?
Why the Government
• Similar challenges• Same mandate - collaborate• We work for the same client
Why is Agile a good place to start?
• Continuous improvement is built into Agile• Suggests looking outward for improvements• Promotes openness and courage• Provides common ground to establish
connections
