Agile in Practice: A collaboration with Buffalo Women in Agile

BIO:

Chauntisse Poindexter brings deep, hands‑on expertise in scaling agility, shaped by years of leading complex technology delivery in technology leadership at organizations such as FedEx and M&T Bank. Known for her clear, no‑nonsense perspectives on agile, she is a vocal advocate for practice, outcomes-driven agility and value-focused flow.

SUMMARY:

In this session, Chauntisse breaks down why many organizations struggle to achieve true adaptability.  Drawing from her field experience, she illustrates how agility is fundamentally a systems discipline focused on flow, decision latency, and reducing variability – not just a set of ceremonies or tools. The talk will also highlight the role of women in agility and sharing her experiences as a women leader that gave her successful outcomes. 

The event will take place in Innovation Conference Room A and B.
