Agile Conversion is tough. Moving from a traditional Waterfall approach of pre defined roles and stages to a model of team ownership is a jarring experience for most teams. Over 12 months and 15 major releases, Red Hat Mobile became a fully functioning Agile team. However there is a hidden side of Agile adoption, the dead ends that we reached, the frustrations within the teams, the roadblocks we hit and the staff turnover that occurred.

This talk will be more encompassing than the path to success, it will cover the trials and tribulations of a team in transition.
