Struggling to create a healthy synergy between OKRs and Agile/Scrum/SAFe? You're not alone. In this session, we provide a high-level overview of OKRs, identify some common OKR usage issues/anti-patterns, and suggest improvements leveraging Lean/Agile principles and practices. You will learn how to organize around value through an OKR lens. We will understand the connection between OKRs, KPIs, Products / Value Streams, and what that means for leveraging OKRs in the different Scrum/SAFe elements. We will discuss how Evidence-based Management (EBM) can amp up OKR empiricism. By the end of this session, you will understand the relationship between OKRs, Agile, Scrum, SAFe, and EBM and have concrete ideas for how to help your organization leverage them in synergy.

In this session, I shared how Gillette is using Scrum applied at Scale to improve agility in a CPG non-software context. We had to make some bold choices that might make classic agile practitioners cringe but we believe are appropriate and support the Scrum spirit. We will talk about our experience using Scaled Scrum inspired by Nexus to design technical and commercial Increments of the Gillette Labs Exfoliating Razor and how it helped us achieve value creation goals in an aggressive timeline. We will share how we use Scrum principles and practices to accelerate innovation and team empowerment in the non-agile-native CPG world.

Actual is a relative term when it comes to business value delivered by a SAFe PI Objective. In this talk we will explore techniques for validating the actual value delivered by SAFe Teams and ARTs based on real-world outcomes that can be evaluated post-release. RTEs, Product Management and Lean/Agile Leaders will be able to assess their current ability to validate value and learn specific practices they could add to their artifacts and events. Finally, we will take a deeper look at optionality and hypothesis-driven thinking in SAFe and challenge the comfort zone on how to properly use some of SAFe’s essential elements in this context. Learning Objectives: Assess their competency level of their ART/Program when it comes to ability to validate value Evolve their Inspect and Adapt events to enable validation value based on real outcomes Extend their Program and Portfolio Kanbans to help manage the flow of learning and validation.

Should you use Scrum or Kanban? You don’t have to choose: Scrum teams improve when they look at flows inside and outside their sprints from a Lean/Kanban perspective. In this session we will talk about Kanban-related myths prevalent in the Scrum world and identify common ground between them. We will look at ways to bring Kanban flow into your Scrum: the Kanban-based Sprint/product backlog, flow-based daily Scrum, visualizing aging work, and flow-based Sprint planning .We will describe ways to wrap Scrum with a Kanban flow system, and how DevOps fits into this picture. You’ll leave with a better understanding of how Scrum, Kanban, and DevOps relate to each other and with ideas for experiments to try when back at work.

SAFe’s home turf is product/systems/applications development. Let’s talk about challenging this comfort zone by applying it in one of the core business functions – Marketing. Why? Because the marketing operating system is being disrupted and the larger the marketing organization the more it struggles to maintain relevancy and impact. More and more marketing organizations are seeing the impact of Agile and want to benefit as well. How should an organization using SAFe in R&D/IT look at Agile in Marketing? Is SAFe the right choice? Does it work “as is”? Are there any changes needed to support this new context? What are some lessons learned from trying this in the field? Learning Objectives and Key Takeaways: At some point in your enterprise transformation you should consider applying SAFe outside of Product Development/IT. Marketing is a great candidate for a next Value Stream to implement SAFe in. Agile Marketing is possible not just for small nimble companies but also for large organizations with hundreds of marketers and several legacy silos. SAFe provides a blueprint for how to achieve this. Understand the differences in applying SAFe outside of Product Development/IT and how to adjust the Big Picture / Implementation Roadmap to accommodate these differences. The ideal “Business Agility” state is actually to bring together Marketing, Product Management/Development, Sales into one Value Stream. This talk was delivered in the global SAFe Summit in DC in October 2018

SAFe emphasizes Building Quality In. We will take a deep dive into how this looks from a testing organization’s perspective and what does a SAFe implementation mean for Testing/QA professionals. We will map SAFe’s approach to best practices in the “”Agile Testing”” world. We will look at examples from the real world of how traditional testing organizations shift left and evolve towards continuous testing. Learning Objectives and Key Takeaways: Understand how best practices from the “”Agile Testing”” world map to SAFe’s context Learn ideas and patterns for evolving Testing/QA’s role during a SAFe implementation Understand how Test-Driven looks like and how techniques like Acceptance-Test-Driven-Design/Behavior-Driven Development can empower testers as well as improve the flow on SAFe agile teams. See how SAFe’s principles can be used to guide the evolution towards a lean/agile testing organization

Abstract: More and more organizations are realizing that in order to achieve business agility they need to go beyond implementing agile in specific teams/projects. Real agility requires scaling agile to the program/portfolio/enterprise level. In this session we will explore the options organizations have when looking to scale agile, with an emphasis on SAFe(tm) - the Scaled Agile Framework - one of the most popular options these days. Learning Objectives: • When does it make sense to Scale Agile • What are the leading scaling approaches • An introduction to SAFe's Big Picture and implementation configurations • How to implement SAFe - The Implementation Roadmap • Typical Results of implementing SAFe • Key risks/red flags to be aware of when implementing SAFe

Scrum, Kanban, and DevOps Sitting on a Tree... (Learn how to leverage Kanban & Scrum together and how to fit DevOps into the picture)Should we use Scrum? Should we use Kanban? Where does DevOps fit into the picture? The best agile teams already know they don’t need to choose. Scrum teams improve when they start to look at flow inside and outside their sprints. Kanban teams improve when they have a disciplined cadence, and effective Product Ownership and Scrum Mastership. DevOps really is mainly about doing Agile the right way. In this session, we will look at a core definition of Scrum, Kanban & DevOps, do some myth-busting as well as identify the quite significant common ground between Scrum, Kanban and DevOps. We will then look at practical ways like the Kanban-based Sprint Backlog, Flow-based Daily Scrum, Visualizing aging work, Flow-based Sprint Planning - which bring some Kanban flow into your Scrum. We will look at how to bring Scrum roles/events/artifacts into your Kanban. We will look at ways to wrap Scrum with a Kanban Flow system that looks upstream/downstream and at the higher level picture of a DevOps Culture/Process. You’ll leave with a better understanding of how Scrum, Kanban, and DevOps relate to each other and with some ideas for experiments to try when back at work.

Scaling agile can be overwhelming. In this tutorial, Yuval will provide an overview of the ten essential SAFe patterns, and highlight the diagnostic symptoms that appear when the patterns aren’t in place. Attendees will develop a personal “flash assessment” of their current work context and will be able to identify to “inspect and adapt” areas for improvement. They will also learn how to use this sort of assessment/patterns during their scaled agile journey. (This includes the Essential SAFe assessment toolkit provided by ScaledAgile)

Scrum & Kanban - Better Together? Talk delivered at Agile Boston w/ Dave West of Scrum.org in October 2018 It's time to call an end to this stupid civil war within the agile camp. The best agile teams already know that it is not a choice between Scrum and Kanban, but they are complementary. Scrum teams improve when they start to look at flow inside and outside their sprints. Kanban teams improve when they have a disciplined cadence, and effective Product Ownership and Scrum Mastership. In this session, we will look at: Common Ground - The foundations that both approaches highlight Complementary Practices - what can we add from Kanban to our Scrum and vice versa Key differences - where you really need to make a choice Myths - differences that are talked about which really are not there

We talk about “Respect for People” in SAFe. What does it mean to have respect for people when implementing SAFe in the enterprise? The Invitations/Pull-based approach acknowledges our humaneness and tweaks the SAFe Implementation Roadmap in a way that involves leaders and teams in figuring out when/how to implement SAFe in their context – empowering and decentralizing as many implementation decisions as it makes sense. In this session we will explore why this approach is needed and how to use it – introducing the SAFe invitations guidance article as well as examples from the trenches in organizations such as Siemens and Amdocs.

How can large, traditional marketing organizations - those that rely on functional departments, and annual marketing plans / budgets hope to keep up? We believe the answers lie in an Agile approach, and we are working hard to transform our marketing department from a plan / interrupt driven culture to one that can quickly sense and respond to customer needs and market changes. This is easier said than done in a 350 person organization, but we are finding the solutions are familiar, and are rooted in a scaled agile approach. The key ingredients we have found so far include: • A servant leadership mindset that lets go of details and actively supports team success • Full cross-functional agile teams that eliminate the overhead of cross-departmental hand-offs and coordination • Larger delivery groups organized around a set of solutions that deliver on a larger / holistic value proposition (aka release trains) • Adaptive value delivery supported by experimentation, measurement, collaborative planning, and transparent execution Our journey isn’t complete yet, but we are seeing real results. Join Steve Wolfe from CA Technologies and Yuval Yeret from AgileSparks to hear about CA’s journey to marketing agility, including key challenges faced and learnings applied along the way.
