The Spiral HPI Framework Meets Agile

This concurrent session will use presentation and interactive discussion to combine a Human Performance Improvement Spiral Framework with Agile development and management in a session for intermediate to expert practitioners.

Organizations increasingly use Agile development and project management (often in software development) to create quick effective performance solutions. These Agile approaches rely on iterations of work that successively refine a product. Agile can lend itself to the Spiral Human Performance Improvement (HPI) framework, which attempts to capture what is happening in savvy practitioners’ heads as they move through the performance improvement process in a messy and chaotic real world. Using this framework, practitioners can make valued contributions to Agile projects and can also leverage the characteristic advantages of speed and value from Agile into the overall HPI process.
