Kiran Thakkar, an Agile coach and trainer, observed Tushar Somaiya, an Agile coach at Thoughtworks in Mumbai, India, co-train at Kiran's two-day Certified Scrum Master course in September 2012. Kiran found Tushar to be very knowledgeable and passionate about Scrum and agile development. Tushar co-trained effectively on topics like agile benefits, sprint reviews and retrospectives, keeping the class engaged. Kiran recommends Tushar conduct additional co-training outside of India to experience different audiences and styles.
The document discusses enabling an agile transformation in an enterprise. It covers principles like individuals and interactions over processes, customer collaboration over contract negotiation, and responding to change over following a plan. It also discusses implementing early and continuous delivery through techniques like test-driven development, continuous integration, continuous delivery, and DevOps. Finally, it provides eight steps to transform an enterprise, including defining business goals, coaching the right people, going deeper before wider, and measuring success.
1. The document defines stakeholders in the health care system as entities that affect or are affected by organizational actions. It identifies key stakeholders as government, health care providers, the public, hospital administrators, NGOs, and health insurance providers.
2. The roles and responsibilities of these stakeholders are described. The government oversees policy, funding, and administration of health services at central, state, and district levels. Health care providers deliver services. The public are beneficiaries of care. Hospital administrators and boards manage operations. NGOs supplement government work. Insurers provide coverage.
3. Effective stakeholder management involves identifying and classifying stakeholder relationships, formulating strategies, and evaluating outcomes. Stakeholder analysis

People everywhere are talking about scaling agile and different frameworks and ideas to support this. Fancy and rather complicated scaling agile frameworks have not only taken shape but probably have started becoming mainstream. All these frameworks apparently claim to facilitate communication and collaboration.
However, as group size rises, all sorts of issues emerges. Even if more people provide a greater pool of resources, they also require greater amounts of coordination and management, to the point where size becomes an impediment. Scaling up might trigger not only “coordination loss” & “motivation loss” but also “relational loss”.
Small teams are agile!! I guess, thats the reason Scrum urges to work in small teams. As small as 5 to 9 members. So let’s explore if there is a possibility to scale down instead of scaling up? And, how can you scale down? What does it take? Has anyone scaled down yet? Is there a structure to scale down? Can it be replicated?

Why scrum works - A NeuroScience Perspective @ Scrum Gathering India 2013Tushar Somaiya
Have you ever thought why scrum works? That too from NeuroScience perspective?
We all acknowledge and understand that we have moved beyond and past machine age or service era and are living in what is called “Knowledge Era”. Focus of current times is shifting from behaviours to values. From people to brain. Yet, we know very little about people or brain or its working.
Through this talk, I will attempt to link hard neuroscience to scrum and its practices to see why it works or does not work. Also we would look at practices required beyond scrum to create an environment where scrum can flourish. Or even exists!
It is the team who does all the work. Team is self-organising. Team decides and plans. So what is the role of scrum master? Is it a full time role? How is it different from a project manager? Can a project lead or manager be a scrum master? It is probably the least understood and the most abused role in scrum. Let's explore these points in details further on April 10, 3:00 PM.

When you are new follow them as-is. But don't stay new too long.
Question everything. See beyond methodologies and manifestos. These are not perfect. There is scope of improvement in them too. Challenge them. Seek beyond and deeper.
