Five Steps to a More Agile Organization: Adopting Agility at ScaleLitheSpeed
While agile methods have become mainstream, agile organizations have not. Perhaps several development teams have had great results from a method like Scrum, but as soon as you begin to scale the effort up, the inertia of a fundamentally waterfall-oriented organization becomes painfully apparent. This is where many companies find themselves today. This webinar will address some key tips to driving agility beyond technology groups and making an entire company more adaptive and responsive.
As more organizations begin to adopt agile on multiple, interdependent teams, how do we ensure that the success within a team can translate to success at the enterprise level?

Agile Start Me Up - Using the Minimum Viable Discovery (MVD)Chris Chan
"The hardest part of building any software system is determining precisely what to build." - Fredrick Brooks
Discovering exactly what customers, stakeholders, and sponsors want to create is often the most difficult part of product development. Getting everyone aligned can be fraught with misunderstanding and misinterpretation. We often start with a backlog, but how do you know that the development of the product supports the growth of your company.
Getting off on the right foot when starting an Agile initiative can set you up for success. This presentation will outline a basic flow of light touch Discovery workshops as a way to start your agile product development engine.
Introducing the Enterprise Transformation Meta ModelRenee Troughton
Finally there is a meta model out there to be able to simply and easily compare and contrast not only Agile methods but any type of change that you may be introducing into an organisation.
This presentation lightly covers the model, but importantly goes through over fifty Agile and edgy Agile related methods and movements, highlighting where they sit in the model.

Teamwork in software development: From self-managing agile teams to multi-team projects

Agile in the Real World: Digital Moderation (Talk for IIBA/VUW)Cat McRae
A discussion recently given for VUW's 1st year Business Analysis class in InfoSys on behalf of the IIBA.

Developing a digital mindset - recordingSprout Labs
This webinar is based on our free eBook Developing a digital mindset: Powerful methods to disrupt learning. Digital technologies are disrupting business. But it’s not the technologies themselves that are causing the disruption, it’s what we do with them that’s creating change. It’s the thinking processes and mindsets around using technologies that hold the key. It’s about having a digital mindset.
Explores underlying principles that make Agile development work, and seeks to uncover where those principles might be in conflict with key assumptions that drive management practices.
The goal is to learn what we in the movement can do to drive positive change in our own organizations as well as in the wider world of software development. After all, there may be challenges with an Agile approach, but falling back to blind adherence to a plan-driven approach is not the answer.

Slow DownTo Speed Up: Retrospectives To Improve Product & Process (Gottesdien...EBG Consulting, Inc.
(slides and handout from PMI Personal Development Day, May 2010)
Project retrospectives go beyond classic “lessons learned”. Retrospectives are one the best ways to improve your project results and build a healthy project community.
Retrospective facilitator and agile coach Ellen Gottesdiener explain the why’s, what’s and how’s of conducting milestone, iteration and end-of-project retrospectives to elicit and leverage the project community’s collective wisdom, define and sustain good practices, avoid faulty decisions, and adapt for success.
Learn:
• The value proposition: retrospective benefits and characteristics
• Who should be involved, and how to involved them
• Essential steps for planning and conducting effective retrospectives
• Key questions to answer, ways to address “safety”, and sample retrospective activities
Can agile frameworks help small development teams? After looking at some agile basics, I examine two projects where a small development team used scrum. Agile can be used by small teams to their advantage with commitment and some work.

Launch Your Streaming Platforms in MinutesRoshan Dwivedi
The claim of launching a streaming platform in minutes might be a bit of an exaggeration, but there are services that can significantly streamline the process. Here's a breakdown:
Pros of Speedy Streaming Platform Launch Services:
No coding required: These services often use drag-and-drop interfaces or pre-built templates, eliminating the need for programming knowledge.
Faster setup: Compared to building from scratch, these platforms can get you up and running much quicker.
All-in-one solutions: Many services offer features like content management systems (CMS), video players, and monetization tools, reducing the need for multiple integrations.
Things to Consider:
Limited customization: These platforms may offer less flexibility in design and functionality compared to custom-built solutions.
Scalability: As your audience grows, you might need to upgrade to a more robust platform or encounter limitations with the "quick launch" option.
Features: Carefully evaluate which features are included and if they meet your specific needs (e.g., live streaming, subscription options).
Examples of Services for Launching Streaming Platforms:
Muvi [muvi com]
Uscreen [usencreen tv]
Alternatives to Consider:
Existing Streaming platforms: Platforms like YouTube or Twitch might be suitable for basic streaming needs, though monetization options might be limited.
Custom Development: While more time-consuming, custom development offers the most control and flexibility for your platform.
Overall, launching a streaming platform in minutes might not be entirely realistic, but these services can significantly speed up the process compared to building from scratch. Carefully consider your needs and budget when choosing the best option for you.

From a daily stand-up meeting:
Developer: The customer databases will be used by several
applications, so I have implemented support for dealing with various
technologies, including Oracle. It took a lot of time.
Scrum-master: Did we not agree on postponing this?
Developer: We need this later and now it is done.

talking. For me what she talks about is a bit off the topic, and I cannot
stay focused. She talks about the things she is working on.” – developer
n Monthly planning meetings somehow excluded the developers and
turned out to be discussions between the Scrum master and the Product
owner – notes after observing sprint planning

17. In Practice: Team Orientation
n “When we discover new problems, we feel we own them
ourselves, and that we will manage to solve them before
the next meeting tomorrow. But this is not the case, it
always takes longer time” – developer

18. In Theory: Backup Behaviour
ICT
n Definition:
n Anticipate other team
members’ needs through
accurate knowledge about
their responsibilities
n Includes the ability to shift
workload among members
to achieve balance during
high periods of workload or
pressure
n Scrum:
n The team is seen as
multifunctional
n Self-organizing
19. In Practice: Backup Behaviour
n “Let the person that knows most about the task solve it! We cannot
afford several people doing the same thing in this project. We need to
continue working like we have done before” – scrum master
n “We are having problems in one of the modules, but other developers
do not want to fix the problem. They want to wait for the developer
who created the module” – scrum master
n “This was a shock to us. The end-users could not start testing, and
we had to spend a lot of time trying to fix this. It took almost a month
to locate the problems” - developer
n “It’s chaotic now. We work long hours, but I do not do too much. I
have done what I was supposed to, and I cannot help them. I do not
know anything about what they are doing, so it does not help if I try” –

Conclusion
n Difficult transition from individual work to teamwork
n There are many factors that influence team performance
in established team performance models
n Scrum has many mechanisms for teamwork in place, but
some were difficult to implement in the case organization
n There is a vast literature on teamwork that is very relevant
for agile development and that deserves more attention
