Scaling agility is a challenge with many aspects. With scaling agility we have to leave the happy kingdom of development and have to stand more or less exhausting battles with organizational change, communication in all areas of the value chain from marketing over product management to operation.
Unluckily there is an additional and unneeded world of war as well – and we, the agile community are the cause and delivering the weapons. These are the different frameworks and approaches out there on the market about how to scale. Just to throw some names in: Agility Path, SAFe, DAD, Less, the-new-deal – and I am sure you will find more when surfing through sources on the internet.
This is a game of thrones. Unluckily for the organization that strive to improve this is unsettling, a source of doubt and a crowd of smart consultants as a white guard.

Note: This presentation is an update of my previous uploaded presentation found here: http://www.slideshare.net/AmirSyafrudin/scrum-methodology-managing-project-efficiently-and-accurately
This is a presentation material used to introduce Scrum Framework in the Directorate General of Taxes, Ministry of Finance, Republic of Indonesia.
Agile Project Management explained and examined from several angles. Agile Software Development delivers better results when it is managed in an agile way.
Crash Course: Managing Software People And TeamsSynerzip
Useful both for managers and leaders and also for those considering managing and leading for their careers (with relevance for any leader relying on managing software people and teams for their success).
In this interactive session, Ron will examine the great managers each of us has experienced, and the qualities, skills, finesse and gifts of greatness that made them stand out. He’ll talk about “the rest of the job”: managing up, managing out, and other aspects of being a seasoned manager that reports mostly don’t see.
You’ll take away a few best practices that take most managers years to discover.
A ‘warts and all’ illustration of how Xero is increasingly moving to incremental/progressive refinement from product vision through to ready work for the pods (i.e. user stories small enough to fit comfortably in a single sprint, well-understood by pod members and with clear acceptance criteria).
Using simple tools along the way, Xero ensures that assumptions are verified and that work is prioritised in alignment with organisational strategy and market needs.
The presentation will share both triumphs and catastrophes.
A short talk that explains a little of what Agile is; where it originated and how it works. This talk is applicable whatever method you use - scrum, XP, DSDM etc. Concludes by introducing ICAgile (the International Consortium of Agile).

Culture eats everything for breakfast! by Vladimir KelavaBosnia Agile
Bez obzira koliko su dobre vaše strategije za vođenje organizacije/tima, one vam neće pomoći ako je organizacijska/timska kultura loša. Procesi i prakse su važni, ali jednako važni su i vrednosti i principi. Bez njih, temelj je slab i disfunkcionalan.
Organizacije koje ovo razumiju gaje kulturu koja se temelji na jasno definiranim vrednostima koje su vodići principi kako bi se ljudi trebali ponašati i komunicirati, kako bi se trebale donositi odluke i kako bi se trebale provoditi svakodnevne aktivnosti. U takvim organizacijama vrednosti nisu samo “random” reči na plakatima koji vise u kompanijskim hodnicima…i nisu opisane u opštim i hladnim tektovima na kompanijskim portalima.
Organizacije koje ozbiljno pristupaju ovoj temi ne opisuju svoju kulturu putem linkedin, fejsbuk i instagram objava na kojima ljudi igraju stolni tensi, stolni fudbal i ispijaju pivo…uz komentar - “Pogledajte našu sjajnu kulturu”. Nemam ništa protiv zabave 😉 ali….
Pridružite nam se na radionici ako želite da diskutujete:
Šta je uopšte organizaciona/timska kultura?
Uticaj kulture na organizaciju/timove
Kako gajiti organizacionu/timsku kulturu?
Kako jasno definirane vrednosti mogu koristiti vašoj organizaciji/timu?
Espoused vs Enacted vrednosti

Decoding Success in Pharma and e-Health by Lejla ZonićBosnia Agile
Over the past four years, I've collaborated extensively with pharmaceutical companies and engaged in various digital initiatives within the e-health sector. This experience has afforded me a deep understanding of the transformative role technology plays in the healthcare and pharma industries.
Today, clinics have hundreds of applications that streamline processes for patients, doctors, and administrative staff alike. These range from patient care to diet management, and even extend to organizational logistics, all thanks to advancements in IT. Particularly, these applications are revolutionizing areas like clinical trials and medical research, facilitating the testing of new medications and the continuous study of existing treatments. The beauty of digital applications lies in their ability to gather rich data from a broader participant base without the necessity of physical presence, which is a game-changer for patients with mobility issues.
Moreover, the rise of telemedicine and mobile health apps exemplifies how technology is not just supporting but also spearheading improvements in patient care and clinical guidelines. This evolution is paving the way for more precise, timely, and cost-effective medical research and drug development.
Historically, data collection in this field was a manual, paper-based process that required extensive travel and face-to-face interactions to meet demographic quotas and gather necessary information. Today, we have applications that integrate panel management, project tracking, and data analysis in one seamless interface, tailored to each pharmaceutical company's specific needs, and also many other sectors (like market research).
To sum up, this is about digital strategies addressing the challenges of the e-health sector and pharmaceutical industry.
Agile Experimentation in Everyday Life - A Guide to More Aha! moments by Milo...Bosnia Agile
In the realm of software development, the pursuit of accurate project estimation has been a perpetual challenge. Despite the rise of Agile methods, the specter of inaccurate estimation continues to cast a shadow over projects, leading to missed deadlines, exceeded budgets, and frustrated stakeholders.
Consider this: a groundbreaking study by the Standish Group in 1995 revealed that a staggering 31.1% of software projects were canceled before completion, with over 50% ending up costing nearly twice their initial estimates. Fast forward to the present day, and while Agile has undeniably transformed development practices, the issue of project estimation remains a thorny one.
While Agile projects boast a commendable success rate three times higher than traditional waterfall approaches, over 50% still grapple with time and cost overruns. The question then arises: why has Agile, with its iterative approach and emphasis on collaboration, not completely eradicated the problem of inaccurate estimation?
Agile introduced relative estimation, epitomized by story points, in contrast to the upfront man-day estimations of the past. However, the journey towards accurate estimation has been fraught with challenges. Despite their widespread adoption, story points have often fallen short, leading to counterintuitive outcomes. A case study within a prominent corporation revealed that stories rated lower in complexity took longer to complete than ostensibly more complex ones.
This dilemma underscores a fundamental truth: the challenge of estimation transcends estimation methods; it is deeply rooted in human nature. Our innate biases and tendencies toward optimism color our estimations, rendering them prone to error. To break free from this cycle, a paradigm shift is necessary—one that embraces a data-driven approach.
The answer: actionable agile metrics and probabilistic forecasting. By leveraging historical data, teams can move beyond guesswork toward informed decision-making. These metrics provide nuanced insights into team performance and project dynamics, empowering teams to make accurate predictions about future outcomes.
During this talk/presentation, I will share:
- the results of two studies by the Standish Group (1995, 2020)
- a case study about story points from one US corporation
- what metrics we need to gather as well as how (and why)
- some cool models and tools (through quick demos or screenshots)
In this illuminating talk, we'll demystify agile estimation, drawing from real-world examples and personal experiences. Attendees will gain practical insights into the tools and techniques that underpin effective estimation practices. By the end of the session, participants will be armed with actionable strategies and newfound knowledge to navigate the estimation challenge confidently, ensuring smoother sailing on their Agile journey.
Agile Experimentation in Everyday Life - A Guide to More Aha! moments by Milo...Bosnia Agile
When we say experiments, a classroom or a laboratory may be the first association, or possibly work (especially if you’re in tech or product). However, there’s a lot of universal value in experimentation, testing assumptions, and learning. The famous 'Inspect & Adapt' is not reserved for Scrum teams only, and it can be an important and positive approach to your life.
Agile experiments are important in our private life because they provide a framework for trying new things, learning from them, and making continuous improvements. We’re not living in a vacuum, and our realities are simply too complex for driving on ‘auto pilot’.
By setting goals, measuring results, and adapting based on regular feedback, we can make positive changes in our personal lives. On top, agile experimentation helps us overcome the fear of failure, since experiments are seen as an opportunity to learn and grow, rather than a test of our abilities (and value).
In this talk, I will share first-hand experiences, tips, and pitfalls for applying agile experimentation to our private life, fostering a growth mindset, improving problem-solving skills, and ultimately living a more interesting life.

How can Operational Value Streams Shape Your Product Strategy and Roadmap Suc...Bosnia Agile
Picture a world where every stakeholder within your organization effortlessly grasps and contributes to your Product Roadmaps. It may seem like an ideal scenario, but trust me, there are techniques available that can turn this vision into reality. Operational Value Streams provide a structured pathway for organizations to optimize their workflows, fostering collaboration and simplifying the visualization of your product roadmap.
Operational Value Streams, as delineated in the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe), offer a systematic approach to understanding and enhancing workflow across the organization. They play a pivotal role in aligning business objectives with the delivery of value to customers, enabling everyone involved to see the big picture and contribute to its realization.
A notable advantage of Operational Value Streams is their ability to offer end-to-end visibility into the product development lifecycle. By mapping out every stage and activity involved in bringing a product from concept to delivery, teams gain a comprehensive understanding of value generation and delivery.
This visibility empowers stakeholders at all levels to identify bottlenecks, inefficiencies, and areas for improvement within the value stream. By analyzing these insights, teams can streamline processes, minimize waste, and optimize resource allocation. This collaborative effort ensures that the Product Roadmap reflects the collective priorities of the organization and drives success.
We've witnessed the transformative power of Operational Value Streams firsthand. Whether it's for existing products or brand-new ventures, we've created operational value stream maps that have revolutionized the way organizations visualize and execute their product strategies. Embracing this approach has not only streamlined our workflows but has also fueled innovation and growth across the board. Join me on this journey toward simplified, attainable, and impactful Product Roadmaps.

What’s a Design Sprint and Why Does it Matter? by Elvis PivićBosnia Agile
We all want to believe we’re just about to reach it — our eureka moment.
That moment when light breaks, clouds part, and all those torturous months of thinking, planning, re-thinking, and re-planning finally pay off in the form of the perfect solution to our problem.
Except that day never comes. And back to countless meetings, we go.
Perspiring towards perfection has a certain romantic appeal, but ultimately it robs us of the thing we want most: progress. This lecture is designed to give perfectionists in every form — product designers, marketers, business leaders, product, and project managers their first introduction to a better method for getting things done: the Design Sprint.
During this presentation, it will be explained:
* From thinking to doing: the origin of the Design Sprint
* What is the Design Sprint?
* Why the Design Sprint is the hero you need? -
* Sprints — what are they good for? - How exactly does the Design Sprint work?
Disciplined Agile: Past, present, and future. The path to true business agil...Bosnia Agile
What is Disciplined Agile? Where did it come from? Where is it going? How can it help me?
In your organization, you are very likely using a variety of approaches to deliver solutions to your stakeholders. You might be using traditional waterfall, agile, or hybrid approaches. If you are applying agile methods or frameworks you might be using Scrum, SAFe, Lean Kanban, or “roll your own” techniques. Regardless of what methods you are using, the Disciplined Agile (DA) tool kit can help you to be more effective. It is an agnostic, comprehensive library of strategies and practices, with practical advice for which ones work for in different contexts. Many organizations struggle to evolve an agile way of working (WoW) that makes sense for their unique situations. The good news is that you don't need to figure it out on your own. The DA tool kit leverages the experiences of thousands of teams who have already struggled through the very issues that our teams currently face. By referencing these strategies, you can accelerate your journey to project delivery success using a technique we call Guided Continuous Improvement (GCI).
This presentation explains the value of the Disciplined Agile tool kit and how to use it in practice with GCI across your entire organization, putting you on a path to true business agility.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
