Agile is today adopted by many organizations, in many different forms. We can see examples of achievements, where adoption of agile principles delivered significant value. There are also situations, where adoption of agile principles did not delivered expected results.

At Agilia Prague we wants to discuss Agile in Banking and Finance – how adoption of agile techniques helps modernize rigid environment of financial services – be it a new product design, new processes and channels, customer service, business model, organizational structure, culture or values.

CFP process has no deadline. Aguarra organizes more events throughout the year and occasionally applicants are transferred to another event, if it fits better.

Special request for speakers:

Agilia Conference aims at maximization of learning value. Both for delegates and for the speakers. Therefore we prefer speakers to stay whole day, engage with program and be available for discussion with delegates. If you are planning to deliver speech and then runaway to catch your flight, you are most probably not a right fit for this event.
