Iteration 2 presented at the Melbourne Agile and Scrum User Group - July 23, 2018
In many organisations, ScrumMaster is seen as just a team facilitator and played part-time by an already busy team member. If there are full-time ScrumMasters, in many organisations they are rendered ineffective as change agents and capability builders. Their capacity is filled by a heavy load of co-ordination, stakeholder meetings, progress tracking and other project management tasks have been left to ScrumMasters in the absence of a project manager or the implementation of effective Scrum alternatives.
Many organisations continue to creating conflicts of interest by combining ScrumMaster and Project Manager into the one role. Or undermine the Development Team and Product Owner roles by attempting to blend ScrumMaster with a Delivery Manager role. Or they just get rid of ScrumMasters altogether have a sparse scattering of seagull “Agile Coaches”. Why? …well Spotify!
Are any of these wise moves?
At the heart of this appears to be a fundamental misunderstanding of what the ScrumMaster role is all about. Also a failure for ScrumMasters to explain their role in the context of the new mindset and demonstrate its worth to teams, Product Owners, management and other stakeholders.
In this interactive session, we explore what the ScrumMaster role really encompasses. We look at ways in which it is a lot more substantive and potentially impactful that many people realise. Ways in which a good ScrumMaster acts as a human mirror, shortens feedback loops, brings reality to bare, catalyses change, models behaviour, teaches people skills, cultivates culture, manages conflict, builds team performance, leads product thinking, builds product ownership capability, teaches other managers Lean, Agile and Systems Thinking plus “higher consciousness” leadership skills, provides mentoring to individuals, helps reveal the organisation’s dynamics to itself, advocates for impediment removal and helps all around them to better solve their own problems. All of this from a post-heroic and situationally appropriate leadership stance, being committed to the value creation gemba, to long term capability growth and optimising the whole. Just a meeting facilitator or a progress tracking secretary they are not!
When you think of all that, it’s not surprising that we’re not able to demonstrate the full impact of the ScrumMaster role – all of this takes years, if not decades to master.
You will explore what your own strengths and weaknesses are as ScrumMaster or capability growth leader and present opportunities for professional growth in these areas. You will take away specific points that you can use to explain the ScrumMaster role to colleagues as well as what the likely trade-off are when combining or replacing it with other roles.
This slide deck shares my thoughts on the product owner role. It discusses what it means to own a product, and how the product owner role can be scaled.
The Scrum Master and the Product Owner are critical to success of agile development teams using Scrum with the authority to make changes to the process, suggest team members take action, and empower members to do tasks correctly, in support of increasing the probability of project success.

When the values of commitment, courage, focus, openness, and respect are embodied and lived out by the Scrum Team, the Scrum pillars of transparency, inspection, and adaptation come to life and build trust for all. Scrum Team members learn and explore those values as they work with Scrum events, roles, and artifacts.
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 I needed to do presentations of Scrum to executives and students, I started to look for existing ones. Most presentations I found were very good for detailed presentations or training. But what I was looking for was a presentation I could give in less than 15 minutes (or more if I wanted). Most of them also contained out dated content. For example, the latest changes in the Scrum framework were not present and what has been removed was still there.
Scrum is certainly not a foolproof framework as it does have its own set
of limitations; which is the reason why it may not be the best fit for
every team or product. There are other Agile and Lean approaches too,
like Kanban or XP.
Therefore, what is crucial is for us to comprehend that these current
shifts call for a dynamic and progressive outlook from developers and managers. The need of the hour is to utilize the benefits that a Scrum Master brings to the table, in terms of opening up team communication and problem solving techniques.

Are you trapped in a hamster wheel of meetings, updating tracking tools, trying to keep stories progressing and generally being the “Scrum secretary” for everything that others are not doing themselves? Whilst you might be aware that this is not the most effective way to spend your time, you may not know how to transition out of this situation and what the more impactful activities are to transition to.
In this session we will explore what the most effective Scrum Masters and Agile Coaches focus on as well as some strategies for freeing up your time and building your skills in order to make a much bigger difference for your Scrum Team and surrounding organisation.
Advancing as a Scrum Master or Agile Coach v2Rowan Bunning

Scrum Master & Agile Project Manager: A Tale of Two RolesTommy Norman
Many people equate the role of Scrum Master to that of a traditional Project Manager, but there are both subtle and significant differences between them. So what is the difference and why do we care?
This presentation will explore the differences between these two roles and the underlying implications to your company’s Agile adoption. We will discuss the concept of little “a” agile (mostly iterative development and some Agile-like mechanics) versus big “A” Agile (more of a true shift in culture and focus on teams/value) and when we would choose one or the other.
So if you are confused about what a Scrum Master does, what the heck an Agile PM is, or are sick and tired of your team telling you that you’re not adopting Agile correctly, this presentation is or you!
It was repeatedly observed that as the number of Scrum teams within an organization grew, two major issues emerged:
* The volume, speed, and quality of their output (working product) per team began to fall, due to issues such as cross-team dependencies, duplication of work, and communication overhead.
* The original management structure was ineffective for achieving business agility. Issues arose like competing priorities and the inability to quickly shift teams around to respond to dynamic market conditions.
In this presentation I will show you how to counteract these issues, using Scrum@Sclae framework for effectively coordinating multiple Scrum teams was clearly needed which would aim for the following:
* Linear scalability: A corresponding percentage increase in delivery of working product with an increase in the number of teams.
* Business agility: The ability to rapidly respond to change by adapting its initial stable configuration.
Genuine agility at scale through LeSS Product Ownership - April 2018Rowan Bunning
Scrum is too often seen as a way for development to deliver faster without concern for agility, customer value optimisation or learning. Whilst there may be a role called “Product Owner”, it may be subordinated to little more than a team-centric SME taking orders from stakeholders and feeding “stories” to a team. In this session, we explore how the LeSS (Large-Scale Scrum) guidance on the Product Owner role can be used to address these problems and achieve scalable agility at a whole of customer-centric product level, no matter how many teams contribute.
Learning objectives:
- Recognise the limitations that you may be experiencing with the Product Owner implementation at your organisation
- Be aware of well proven patterns for scaling the Product Owner role to endeavours involving dozens or hundreds of people
- Be equipped to have an informed conversation about how your organisation can increase agility at scale.
As presented at the Global Scrum Gathering Minneapolis 2018.
We've often heard that "Culture eats Strategy for breakfast". Well for years, the largest and longest-running Agile survey has been demonstrating that this is true for Agile adoption as well. The top challenge continues to be "Company philosophy or culture at odds with core agile values".*
With 16 years of working on Agile adoptions in two hemispheres across organisations with widely varying cultures, Rowan sees clear patterns for how culture is shapes Agile in organisations. Not only the style of Agile or pseudo-Agile that you end up with, but even how the concept of Agile itself is framed and perceived.
Given an understanding of your organisational culture, we're coming close to being able to predict how your Agile adoption will play out even before you consider starting! That's unless there is real leadership energy spent on effective cultural change.
In this session we explore crucial questions such as the following for leaders in organisations pursuing Agile.
- What are characteristics of your organisation's culture that are most likely shaping your Agile adoption?
- What is it that your organisation is likely to be misinterpreting about Agile and Scrum given its prevailing culture?
- Why does attempting to adopt good Agile without shifting organisational culture result in either low impact watered down Agile and/or ongoing culture clash?
- Why is Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) so popular in certain sorts of organisations and what are they are missing out on?
- What sorts of changes in belief and behaviour are required of leadership in order to lead a culture change supportive of the phase shift to a higher impact mode of Agile?
- What is it like working in a rare "Agile native" culture?
Time permitting, we'll tell stories of first-hand experience with "Agile native" organisational cultures and what led to them emerging and thriving.

Transforming Managers for an Agile Deployment - Agile Tour Montreal 2017Maurizio Mancini
Presentation at Agile Tour Montreal 2017 by Maurizio Mancini of Exempio. This presentation is an overview of what role software managers could play in an Agile world.
aka "Agile adoption stories from highly varied organisational cultures"
Why is the culture change that genuine Agile requires so difficult in most army or machine-like corporate cultures, yet quite natural for certain organisations who have a culture similar to a family or living organism? It turns out that the type of Agile your organisation adopts corresponds with its dominant world view or stage of consciousness. Drawing from 15 years of experience with Agile in Australia and the UK, we describe how Agile was interpreted quite differently by organisations classed as Amber, Orange, Green and Teal in Frederic LaLoux’s model.
Familiarise yourself with the characteristics of the four stages of Frederic LaLoux’s consciousness model.
You will become aware of:
* The stage that your own organisation is at
* How your organisation is likely to interpret and ‘bend’ Agile to fit its world view
* Specific beliefs and motivations that make high agility difficult in organisations with Amber and Orange stages of consciousness
* The Green and Teal beliefs and leadership styles that are genuinely transformational in achieving and sustaining high agility and customer-centric Agile adoptions.
“Scrum Master” & “Agile Project Manager”: A Tale of Two Different Roles by Manohar Prasad, CSP®-SM, CSP®-PO, CSM®, CSPO®, PSM I®, Agile Coach
“The Scrum Master is responsible for ensuring Scrum is understood and enacted. Scrum Masters do this by ensuring that the Scrum Team adheres to Scrum theory, practices, and rules.”
“The Scrum Master helps those outside the Scrum Team understand which of their interactions with the Scrum Team are helpful and which aren’t. The Scrum Master helps everyone change these interactions to maximize the value created by the Scrum Team.”
You will discover that the project manager fulfills the leadership position by overseeing the planning for the project's execution as you list the differences between the scrum master and the project manager. The Scrum Master assists the team members by closely collaborating with them and ensuring that they are adhering to the Agile principles.
When you switch from a traditional approach (the waterfall model) to Agile, the duties of a project manager are divided among the many team members. The program manager, product owner, scrum master, and the rest of the team are each given different duties. However, making the transition from waterfall to agile is not simple.

Liberating your Teams from Rigid Scope and Date Agreements.pdfRowan Bunning
Liberating your Teams from Rigid Scope and Date Agreements
Q: Do you start initiatives in a complex domain by attempting to answer “what are we going to deliver and when”?
Q: Do internal stakeholders negotiate a scope and date agreement with development and then expected teams to keep “on track” to deliver the agreed deliverables by the agreed date?
Q: Do developers cut corners in order to achieve this?
In this session we will explore how the scope and date-based “Contract Game” is misaligned with Agile as well as Scrum. Also how game theory can help us raise awareness how this competitive game results in many negative outcomes when reality does not go to plan (inevitable in a complex domain). This damage is often unrecognised because it is experience by a different group of people, often much later.
We will also outline how to lead your organisation to the co-operative game aligned with Agile methods. This includes at least 7 specific techniques.
You can expect to walk away with new language and a practical Scrum-based approach for eliminating the Contract Game so that empiricism and agility can thrive.
Many organisations that we encounter in New Zealand are keen on what Agile promises. Why then are they not realising the promises sought at the scale necessary to make a substantial difference for an overall customer offering or line of business? Why are many organisations on their 2nd, 3rd or 4th attempt at “Agile Transformation”? Why are so many Scrum Masters and Agile Coaches still frustrated by many of the same ongoing frictions experienced before the pandemic with even less ability to address them?
Many years of experiences across the Tasman and consultation with change agents around the world reveal clear answers. There is a set of relatively straightforward choices that make the difference between whether an organisation struggles for years with the problems above or finds the path of sustainable, world class agility at scale. For a commercial organisation, this means competitive advantage. For a public sector organisation, this means stakeholder trust and delightful experiences. For employees it means less friction and more engagement.
During this session we will share insights around the following questions with reference to experience reports.
Why do many scaled Agile adoptions stall out after the first 1-2 years rather than improve continuously?
Why does the most popular way to scale incur high coordination overheads and fall short of high agility?
Is there a way to eliminate dependencies and have knowledge and skills be the constraint on agility, rather than structure and process?
Why does setting up Scrum Teams for each component of a product make it unlikely that everyone is working on the right things?
Why does delegating responsibility for Agile transformation outcomes to internal Agile Coaches or external management consultants result in “change theatre”?
What are the key leadership questions that can unlock up to 95% of your organisation’s performance?
What changes are necessary for your scaled Agile adoption to be sustained beyond the tenure of the leader who introduced it?
What is an alternative scaling model and adoption approach addressing all of the above issues that New Zealand is yet to benefit from?
See more clearly what’s limiting the effectiveness and longevity of your scaled Agile adoption. Discover options never experienced before in New Zealand.
Succeeding with Agile against the odds at Australia's Central BankRowan Bunning
If you were asked to name the sort of organisation at which Agile transformation is most difficult, what would you pick? Government? Banks perhaps? How about an organisation that is both? Is it even possible for a Government Bank to transition an in-flight program to a thriving Agile capability?
In this session we describe how the Reserve Bank of Australia has demonstrated that it is possible to be successful with Agile in an organisational environment in which such a way of working is very foreign. This is the story of transitioning to Scrum and Behaviour Driven Development some months into the bank's largest ever program of work focused on redevelopment of the Banking Departments core banking systems. We outline how we got from test-last waterfall to full Scrum within 3 months, to full-team BDD in 4 months and to a strong collaboration and cultivation culture in 5 months. We describe the key conditions for such an effort to succeed and what we learned along the way.
How can Scrum Masters be effective in a hybrid remote working world?Rowan Bunning
“The most efficient and effective method of conveying information to and within a development team is face-to-face conversation.” - Agile Manifesto
Yet now, for ≈80% of Sprints as everyone is working, we cannot see or even hear the voices of the team.
In this webinar, we will explore what it takes for us and our development teams to succeed in this “new normal” of remote working or hybrid working arrangements.
Agile knowledge check-up: Busting myths on core Agile conceptsRowan Bunning
Does your organisation use terms “Agile”, User Story, MVP, Iteration Manager or ScrumMaster? Do you do a demonstration at the end of each iteration? If you organisation is like most in Australia, it’s likely that people in it are misunderstanding the primary purpose of these concepts. When the main point of such concepts are missed repeatedly, it can cripple the effectiveness of your Agile adoption. Don’t fear, the Doctor is in and there is a clear prescription for your ailment. Come and test your knowledge. Be prepared to be surprised.
In this session we tell stories of post-heroic servant leadership from three cities in two continents that draw out reality and leave people feeling that they achieved breakthrough results themselves. Leadership that broke down barriers (very literally!), eliminated distrust and dysfunction, socialised issues and facilitated decision-making that saved a high-stakes project and transformed the culture to an environment of empowerment and candour.
Using these stories as inspiration, participants identify examples of increasing transparency across widely used Scrum artefacts such as Product Backlog and events such as Sprint Review.
Five leadership lenses for agile successRowan Bunning
Sense Making lens - what is the problem contexts and appropriate management approach?
Systems Thinking lens - what should our organisation be optimised for and what are the dynamics?
Lean Thinking lens - how is our org. design relative to a customer value focus?
Cultural Analysis lens - what are our implicit beliefs shaping behaviour?
Self-Leadership lens - how do I show up as a leader to deal with complexity?

A simple formula for becoming Lean, Agile and unlocking high performance team...Rowan Bunning
In an effort to become Agile and/or Lean, many organisations in Australia are attempting to design their own custom Agile process from Agile and Lean principles at the time at which they are least qualified to do so - before they have started.
This might appear to make sense if you set out to 'implement the Agile Methodology' * or 'do Agile' *. After all, aren't you acting in the adaptable spirit of Agile to pick and choose which practices you adopt and how you implement them? Every organisation is unique, right?
In reality, organisations taking this approach, tend to pick the easy 'low hanging fruit' that are easy for them to adopt over those that offer the most improvement over the status quo. In pulling up stumps early and 'wimping out' of the harder organisational changes, such organisations unconsciously stifle their teams' ability to reach for high performance and limit the organisation's ability to go beyond "good" to be truly "great". They may also be missing the essential understanding that Agile practices were designed to work as an inter-dependent system of disciplined practice. As Kent Beck put it: "No single practice works well by itself, each needs the other practices to keep them in balance. If you follow 80% of the process you get 20% of the benefits."
If, however, you set out to be a high performing organisation, this may not be adequate.
So...
What if there was a way to avoid a half-baked 'Agile-ish' approach producing half-baked outcomes? What if you could get there by "standing on the shoulders of giants"?
What if there were a simple formula for becoming truly Agile?
(Genuinely living the Agile Software Development values and principles.)
What if this simple formula also implicitly implemented the core principles of Lean and did so in a way based not on repetitive Lean Manufacturing of physical objects but on a type of Lean that is much more appropriate for complex knowledge work and systems development?
What if this formula also implemented the management/leadership approaches suggested for a Complex problem domain as per the Cynefin framework?
What if this formula enabled rapid cycles of learning about both:- what the customer really needs and- what techniques are required to rise to the challenge of delivering it using contemporary technologies?
What if this formula was proven to scale and could support you through the Agile Journey from pilot to whole-organisation transformation?
What if this formula was self-correcting in terms of both your project outcome and your processes themselves?
What if there was a way to unlock the full synergistic potential of teams and realise truly high performance?
Illuminating the potential of Scrum by comparing LeSS with SAFeRowan Bunning
Scrum implementations have the characteristics of an iceberg. The tip of the iceberg is what is explicit in the Scrum Guide whilst the much larger mass under the waterline is deep adoption of the implications of Scrum and Lean. This is where far greater payoffs from Agile adoption are to be found. Unfortunately, few people are aware of many of the deep implications and far fewer have experienced a Scrum adoption that goes beyond the tip of the iceberg.
The recent articulation of LeSS and it’s contrast with SAFe is drawing attention to the difference between shallow and deep Scrum. This session will take you in a submersible below the waterline and use a spotlight to illuminate the vast potential to improve your organisation through deep Scrum.
In comparing LeSS with SAFe, we illuminate ways to…
1. Scale vertically, not just horizontally to help thousands pull together as one.
2. Reduce bureaucratic control and increase business-development collaboration.
3. Transform the win-lose contract game between business and IT into a win-win co-operative game.
4. Focus everyone on the end-customer and re-structure around this.
5. Produce a potentially shippable product increment every fortnight.
6. Enable the organisation to "turn on a dime, for a dime".
7. Enable anti-fragile self-optimising of both What customer value is created and How it is created.
8. Radically simplify organisational structure without the overheads of unnecessary specification, co-ordination and reporting roles.
9. Unleash the potential of real self-managing teams without this being unwittingly constrained.
10. Allow managers to shift from managing the what, the how and tracking to the much more impactful work of capability building.
More Agile and LeSS dysfunction - may 2015Rowan Bunning
Whilst becoming proficient at single-team Agile is not easy, scaling to many teams and possibly many sites adds many additional challenges.
Often these challenges include...
1. Water-Scrum-Fall
2. The 'contract game' and its misalignment with "customer collaboration over contract negotiation"
3. Release rigidity - inability to adjust scope and/or release timing in order to maximise value for money
4. Limited visibility and transparency
5. Dependency hell
6. Skills bottlenecks
7. Lack of cross-team learning
8. Lack of design and architectural alignment whilst avoiding 'ivory tower' architecture
9. Inability to resolve organisational mis-alignment issues outside of delivery teams
Not all frameworks marketed as Agile are designed to address these problems.
In this session, we will introduce Large-Scaled Scrum (LeSS) as an organisational design framework and illustrate how it provides solutions to problems that commonly lead to friction, deliver challenges and difficulties realising the benefits of Agile within large programs and product development efforts.
We will outline each organisational dysfunction / scaling challenge, and connect these with the elements of LeSS that avoid the dysfunction or greatly LeSSen the problem

Updated with latest version as presented at the Canberra Agile & Scrum meetup on July 20, 2017. Previously titled "Using Agile techniques to manage risk more effectively".
Given that the "Waterfall" process model has been dominant in the IT industry for many decades, how many IT and project management professionals are aware that it's inventor warned the world in 1970 that Waterfall is "risky and invites failure"?
From a risk management perspective, is waterfall ever an appropriate choice for complex IT initiatives given what we know now?
In this session we will outline how, as a risk management strategy, using the waterfall model for non-trivial systems development initiatives is systemically high risk as compared with the Iterative Incremental Development (IID) model that has been used in pockets of the IT industry since the late 1950's. Today, many organisations use the IID strategy under the umbrella term of 'Agile'. The majority of these employ Lean Product Development patterns that were first described in the Harvard Business Review in 1986 using a metaphor borrowed from the game of rugby i.e. 'Scrum'.
If you are not using a disciplined agile approach, are you facing more risk as you approach a high-stakes deadline than you need to?
The varied contexts that we work in come with varied types of risk. For a green fields date-driven release, the primary risk may be cost and schedule related. For teams designing a new product for an emerging market, the primary risks may be business risk. For teams doing innovative R&D, the primary risk may technical risk. For a young team in a new technical or business domain, the primary risk may be social risk. In this session, we will use real world examples of such varied challenges to illustrate how risk-tuned Agile helped us to manage risk effectively.
Whilst we will always have to deal with risk to create value, the good news is that there are now many powerful risk management techniques that can be overlaid on top of IID to tune your development process to the type of risk you face. The question is: which ones are most appropriate for the type of risk you are facing? In this workshop we outline a series of powerful risk management tools that tune an agile development process to effectively manage the type of risk that you face.

In the Adani-Hindenburg case, what is SEBI investigating.pptxAdani case
Adani SEBI investigation revealed that the latter had sought information from five foreign jurisdictions concerning the holdings of the firm’s foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) in relation to the alleged violations of the MPS Regulations. Nevertheless, the economic interest of the twelve FPIs based in tax haven jurisdictions still needs to be determined. The Adani Group firms classed these FPIs as public shareholders. According to Hindenburg, FPIs were used to get around regulatory standards.
