Comparing Stability and Sustainability in Agile Systems
Copy of the presentation given at XP2024 based on a research paper.
In this paper we explain wat overwork is and the physical and mental health risks associated with it.
We then explore how overwork relates to system stability and inventory.
Finally there is a call to action for Team Leads / Scrum Masters / Managers to measure and monitor excess work for individual teams.
All the Small Things - XP2024 Bolzano/Bozen
Originally presented at XP2024 Bolzano
While agile has entered the post-mainstream age, possibly losing its mojo along the way, the rise of remote working is dealing a more severe blow than its industrialization.
In this talk we'll have a look to the cumulative effect of the constraints of a remote working environment and of the common countermeasures.

Is Agile dead? It depends on what you mean by 'Agile'. If you mean that the organizations are not getting the promised benefits because they were focusing too much on the team-level agile "ways of working" instead of systemic global improvements -- then we are in agreement. It is a misunderstanding of Agility that led us down a dead-end. At Org Topologies, we see bright sparks -- the signs of the 'second wave of Agile' as we call it. The emphasis is shifting towards both in-team and inter-team collaboration. Away from false dichotomies. Both: team autonomy and shared broad product ownership are required to sustain true result-oriented organizational agility. Org Topologies is a package offering a visual language plus thinking tools required to communicate org development direction and can be used to help design and then sustain org change aiming at higher organizational archetypes.

country. Along with state-owned banks, private banks play a critical role in the country's economy.

solutions that help the organization achieve sustainable growth. Therefore, the purpose of this

4 speechwriting hacks to make you a better communicator
- 1. O’BRIEN COMMUNICATIONS Four Speechwriting Hacks to Make You a Better Communicator
- 2. O’BRIEN COMMUNICATIONS Focus Remember why you’re there Focus on why you were invited to speak in the first place, your purpose for being there. If you are invited to speak before a community group to talk about your organization’s social responsibility activities, the bulk of your preparation should be to gather all of the information on what your organization is doing through its social responsibility program, and then organize it in coherent fashion. 2
- 3. O’BRIEN COMMUNICATIONS Getting Started Once you have the substance of your speech in place, and you completely understand your purpose for being there, the craft of speechwriting can begin. 3
- 5. O’BRIEN COMMUNICATIONS 5 Identify aspects of the topic and the material you plan to cover which tap your own personal passion. Reveal this in your words and in your demeanor when you speak. Use personal examples or stories that illustrate your passion.
- 7. O’BRIEN COMMUNICATIONS 7 Make every word count. Even if you don’t script your speech, make sure your reference notes are well organized and follow a precise flow that carries you smoothly from beginning to end. Don’t deviate spontaneously. Stay on message.
- 9. O’BRIEN COMMUNICATIONS 9 Not every speech requires a prop. There are times to use something as simple as a dollar bill to illustrate a point you want to make about profits, economics or incentives. Don’t belabor use of a given prop. But one will help to get and keep your audience’s attention.
- 10. O’BRIEN COMMUNICATIONS 4. 10 Don’t rush your open or conclusion…
- 11. O’BRIEN COMMUNICATIONS 11 Take time to set up your remarks. Your audience wants to listen to you and will be patient as you get to your main point. Don’t rush through it so that some in the audience have no idea what you just said. Don’t force the audience to play catch-up.
- 12. O’BRIEN COMMUNICATIONS Wrap-up In the end, don’t be redundant, but recap your main points. The purpose of your conclusion is to leave people with that singular thought you want them to take when they leave the room. 12
