The document discusses enterprise agility and provides four case studies of organizations adopting agile practices using different patterns: Little Footprint, Big Footprint, Pillar, and Osmosis. It describes each case study in terms of the organization, mandate, lessons learned, level of agility achieved, and compares the different patterns. The conclusion recommends beginning the adoption of agility by focusing on being agile through practices like poly-skilled teams, continuous delivery, activist investing, and customized training.
Overview of Agile for Business AnalystsSally Elatta
This seminar was presented to the IIBA Omaha group. My goal was to provide a quick overview of Agile and then dive into the role and skills needed for a BA on an Agile team. Let me know if you would like me to present this or a similar topic at your organization. sally@agiletransformation.com
What is 'Just Enough' Documentation in Agile?Sally Elatta
There are lots of misconceptions around what Agile says about documentation. One is that Agile has NO Documentation! That brings a smile to a few folks and drives others (like me) crazy! If you’ve read anything about Agile, you’ll hear that what it really preaches is ‘Just In Time’ or ‘Just Enough’ documentation. So what does that mean? Why aim for ‘Just Enough’ and not ‘Perfect’ Documentation? This seminar was presented at the IIBA group.

Refactoring the Organization Design (LESS2010)Ken Power
These are the presentation slides from a presentation I gave at the Lean Enterprise Software and Systems Conference 2010 (LESS 2010, http://less2010.leanssc.org/). The presentation is based around the paper I submitted that is published in the proceedings.
From the paper abstract:
Every organization has a design. As an organization grows, that design evolves. A decision to embrace agile and lean methods can expose weaknesses in the design. The concept of refactoring as applied to software design helps to improve the overall structure of the product or system. Principles of refactoring can also be applied to organization design. As with software design, the design of our organization can benefit from deliberate improvement efforts, but those efforts must have a purpose, and must serve the broad community of stakeholders that affect, or are affected by, the organization. Refactoring to agile and lean organizations demands that we have a shared vision of what the refactoring needs to achieve, and that we optimize the organization around the people doing the work.
Using Agile and Lean to Stay Ahead in a Tough EconomySally Elatta
This seminar was presented to a group of IT and Business managers and executives on the topic of how to use Agile and Lean methods to stay ahead in the current economic conditions.

Yes, both of them are buzz words, but when you peel back the buzz, what is the true value that lies behind both of these methods? How do they compare and how do they differ? Most importantly, how can we bring about Agility to SOA projects and how can better architecture be applied to Agile projects? Me and Kyle also discussed some of the challenges with attempting iterative development on SOA projects and provided some ways both can leverage each other's strengths.

A showcase of gritty, warts-and-all stories about the transformation toward agility of some of Australia’s biggest companies.
From IIT Academy, Hong Kong - meetup.com/IITAcademyHK
· Learn about how a critical government data organisation achieved a 240%+ increase in productivity in just six weeks.
· Hear about the market transforming mobile payments app that reinvigorated one of Australia’s big four banks. Challenges involved resistance from the organisation from line staff through to senior sponsors.
· Hear about how a multi-year flagship project at one of Australia’s major home loan providers was rescued. Out of budget and under-featured, this project was reinvigorated in just 6 months. Complexities included offshore vendors, major time-differences in operations and multiple vendors involved in a complex build.

The Essential Product Owner - Partnering with the teamCprime

How establishing shared goals, both at the iteration and release levels, truly cements the partnership between team and Product Owner.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs
buy old yahoo accounts buy yahoo accountsSusan Laney
As a business owner, I understand the importance of having a strong online presence and leveraging various digital platforms to reach and engage with your target audience. One often overlooked yet highly valuable asset in this regard is the humble Yahoo account. While many may perceive Yahoo as a relic of the past, the truth is that these accounts still hold immense potential for businesses of all sizes.
Implicitly or explicitly all competing businesses employ a strategy to select a mix
of marketing resources. Formulating such competitive strategies fundamentally
involves recognizing relationships between elements of the marketing mix (e.g.,
price and product quality), as well as assessing competitive and market conditions
(i.e., industry structure in the language of economics).
