Enterprise Agile Coaching - Professional Agile Coaching #3Cprime
“Agile coach” is a term that is thrown around pretty loosely these days. But what exactly is an agile coach? How do they differ from the more tactical roles, like ScrumMaster? And how do organizations find the agile coaches that are right for them?
In the final session of our “Professional Agile Coaching” series, we’ll examine how organizations can build an Enterprise Agile Coaching strategy. We’ll look at:
• When to use an external versus internal coach
• How to choose a coach with the abilities your team/organization needs
• The differences between team and enterprise agile coaching
• Creating a communication plan with your agile coach
• Developing an internal agile coaching organization
This session will help organizations make the best use of both internal and external coaches in order to ultimately build the deep internal skills and knowledge necessary for a successful agile transformation.
Presenter:
Dr. Gail Ferreira, Agile Practice Leader, MATRIX Resources, San Francisco Center of Excellence

Why Constraints are Good? A Case Study of an Enterprise Agile TransformationMatt Harasymczuk
Agile transformation requires understanding its rules by management. It is hard to leave status quo and change your way of thinking. It is especially hard when the previous model has been in use for many years. A frequent problem with Scrum / Kanban / Lean transformation is to go hard on deep water. Starting tommorow we're doing Scrum. Lack of understanding, communication chaos and rules distortion "just because daily is not working for us". What if take a different approach: slow and prudent? Let say iteratively. Gradually introduce another steps of chosen framework. However the question persists. How to effectively change our conservative organization into agile and constantly changing in response to business needs company?
Talk given by Nick McDuffie, Senior Product Manager at Salesforce, at Music City Agile on August 2016
Salesforce has one of the best at scale agile transformations in enterprise history with over 400+ agile teams. With an organization this large, Salesforce has built the model enterprise agile coaching practice. Large organizations from all over the world who are undergoing an agile transformation or are in the middle of one, reach out to Salesforce on how to setup an enterprise agile coaching practice. In this talk you will understand the role of an agile coaching practice, discover what makes a great agile coaching practice and identify 5 key elements in making your agile coaching practice successful.
Agile at Salesforce From theory to practice, how to be agile at scaleSalesforce Engineering
Talk given by Pitch Chevalier, Director of SW Engineering, Search, at Salesforce, at Agile Grenoble 2015.
The story of Agile at Salesforce started in 2006 when the engineering teams were facing several blockers, delays and quality issues. The adoption of an agile methodology inspired by scrum, common to all teams, backed by senior management, lead to having shorter and predictable development cycles with three releases per year, deployed to all customers. The approach had a big focus on initiative and autonomy giving teams all latitude. It was key to the adoption and the agile transformation.
In order to support this new organization based on a large number of small teams, working independently, distributed across sites and different locations, a set of common agile tools was being deployed allowing teams to manage their projects, their delivery artifacts and more important to collaborate seamlessly.
This talk starts with a high-level description of the ADM (Agile Development Methodology), lessons learned and issues to overcome. It might even point to new issues that remain to be addressed. The second part of the presentation showcases the Salesforce Agile Accelerator, that can also be used by our customers.

Managing change in an agile Salesforce development environmentRoland Bullivant
As larger and heavily customised Salesforce applications become ever more critical to enterprises, so the importance of being able to govern, integrate and manage their data grows. This is especially relevant in projects where an agile methodology is employed and where it is vital that the successive versions of the Salesforce data model can be compared and managed.
Safyr is unique in its ability to allow data professionals to access and utilise the metadata in large Salesforce implementations.
Agile Transformation: The Difference Between Success and FailureSunil Mundra
Of all the organizations that have attempted to be Agile, only few have truly succeeded. The primary reasons for lack of success appears to be the lack of understanding the difference between Agile Adoption and Transformation, and in failing to understand that Agile is a mindset and not a collection of processes and that transformation has to do with significant changes to the organization eco system. Evidence is also available that companies have found it much harder to do Agile Transformation as compared to Agile Adoption
This presentation showcases 2 contrasting case studies, one not successful and the other a success in agile transformation, to bring out the key variables that determine success or lack of it in Agile Transformation.

Bridging the Distance through Agile Game DevelopmentFinnur Magnusson
Aðalsteinn "Alli" Óttarsson", Technical Producer CCP.
Synopsis:
Massively multiplayer online game developer CCP has been pursuing a multi-product development effort and has teams scattered across the globe. In 2008 CCP decided transition the production of its flagship product EVE Online to agile development and at the same time release their most ambitious expansion to the online universe. In order to
achieve this CCP shifted a large portion of their globally
distributed resources from working on separate local projects to one unified development effort using Scrum.
While getting an insight into the fascinating field of game
development attendees will learn about the structure of the project, its roll-out and how the company as a whole transitioned to Agile throughout the release and how the entire development arm of the company has now unified around the framework. Alli covers the biggest hurdles and impediments the company was faced with and how they were solved as well as how the development teams and management embraced agility and the cultural change.

Four years of self-selection reteaming at Redgate - Øredev 2022Chris Smith
Traditional wisdom teaches us that long-lived, stable teams perform best, and that changing team membership is to be avoided as much as possible. At Redgate Software we’ve challenged this advice, believing it was better for our engineers and the overall organisation to deliberately change-up our teams every year. Our approach has been to give people a strong influence over which team they will join, encouraging them to move towards the work they find most engaging. Perhaps surprisingly, this has been hugely successful and has helped us create a development culture of engagement, resilience and opportunity. In this deck, Chris shares how Redgate came to try self-selection team reorganisation in the first place, and how & why this has become an established annual event.
Key takeaways
- Why you should consider deliberately changing your teams
- Why and how Redgate ran their self-selection process
- What happened as a result of deliberate reteaming at Redgate
Agile is a software development methodology in which the development is carried out iteratively and the requirements evolve through continuous inspection and adaptation. Some of the most commonly used agile software development methods/frameworks are: Adaptive Software Development (ASD), Extreme Programming (XP), Scrum and Kanban.
Scaling Product Thinking with SAFe - The Secret Sauce for Meaningful Product ...Cprime
The Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) is the agile methodology of choice for many large enterprises. It promises predictable and frequent delivery in complex environments.
Our experience with organizations that adopt SAFe shows that an organization’s willingness to blend product-thinking, technical agility and a culture of learning is the secret sauce for catapulting the organization from “process excellence” into meaningful product impacts.
In this webinar, we’ll share tried and tested ways of introducing product thinking and engineering practices into SAFe organizations, covering organizational, product, and technical ground.
You'll learn:
- How to establish products as value streams and gently reorganize ARTs over time without sacrificing product community or continuity.
- How to use product stories to engage your teams before and during PI planning in a way that invites collaboration on a healthy blend of continuous discovery and delivery.
- How customer, architectural, and operational learning pave the way for scaling to teams of teams from a DevOps perspective, including patterns and anti-patterns.
Our Journey to Agile in the Microsoft Developer DivisionTechWell
This is the story about the Microsoft Developer Division and their two-year journey to agile—from shipping every three years to shipping every three weeks. In the old days, long stabilization phases were part of its DNA. Managers were rewarded for micromanagement. Commitments were made months in advance. Maintaining the appearance of meeting commitments was valued over transparency. Gregg Boer shares how this organization within Microsoft transitioned to one that values agile principles—controlling technical debt, enabling teams, eliminating bogus commitments, and rewarding transparency. When applying agile to such a large, traditional organization, the key to success is allowing autonomy at the team level, while ensuring alignment with the organization. Gregg shares successes as well as colossal failures. Learn how management sets direction while teams own their own backlog, how communication up and down can be transparent and healthy, and other lessons on their journey to agile.
Five development practices compose the core of Extreme Programming (XP)—automating the build for continuously integrating software as it is written, collaborating with team members through pair programming, practicing agile design skills that enable testability, using test first development to drive design, and refactoring code to reduce technical debt. Together, these five technical disciplines are proving to be essential for sustained success with agile development. However, many teams haven’t been exposed to the benefits of these practices or understand how to use them effectively. David Bernstein explores these engineering practices and their use in reducing risk and building quality in at every level of the development process. He makes the business case for these practices by showing how they address the inherent risks and challenges of building software. David then examines how XP practices address the core issues of software development by helping us “build the right thing” and “build the thing right.”
Software development is hard― keeping developers, testers, designers, product managers and other stakeholders in sync and working on the right things at the right time. Building the systems that customers care about and delivering high-quality code fast are challenges every development team faces. Just being agile isn’t enough; we need to actively think about how we can improve software development processes and techniques. Sven details Atlassian’s coding practices and team dynamics, which include: collaborating fast to develop ideas, helping QA with testing, avoiding meetings to get more work done, experimenting, tightening feedback loops to fail faster, shortening release cycles, and working together happily on different continents. He describes examples where Atlassian has failed, then tried a new concept and kicked ass. These practices make Atlassian developers among the most productive and satisfied in the industry. It's a great way to develop software, and Sven thinks it can work in your organization too.
