Overcoming the Obstacles of Scrum Implementation
Most public service ICT&SS professionals have some familiarity with Agile and Scrum. They also understand that to stay up-to-date and relevant, they need to know how to practice it and more importantly, successfully implement those practices. However, many are still facing obstacles – either in starting their learning journey or achieving successful agile adoption in their organisations. In this session, the speaker will share key lessons to overcome these obstacles.

Moving to Larger Implementation of Agile
Some agencies have already started the use of Agile in ICT development work – usually for small applications using Scrum. As the agencies become more mature in the agile journey and start to apply Agile to their larger applications, will their ICT&SS professionals’ existing knowledge of Agile or Scrum be sufficient? This session will give an introduction on:
- how single-team Scrum is not sufficient to cater to larger applications
- the framework and practices needed to apply agile to larger applications and the additional skills/knowledge required

Panel Discussion
Preparing for Government Cloud Usage
The Singapore Government had announced its plan to migrate eligible applications to the Government Commercial Cloud (GCC) in the coming years. As an ICT&SS professional, to remain relevant, it is imperative to prepare for the adoption. This panel discussion will provide an overview of the platforms on the GCC – namely, Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud and share how ICT&SS professionals in government agencies can best prepare themselves so that they can participate in the increasing trend of government cloud usage.
