Agile ME Meetup: Agile A-Z - Chapter 4: The Feedback Loop
What is Agile? - What are the roles in Agile development? How do we implement or scale with Agile? Which Agile processes should I use in my case?
There are so many questions about Agile, so in a series of Meetups, we will try to uncover as many aspects of Agile as possible, in order to provide the full overview of Agility in organisations. The form will be a combination of presentations and discussions, so everyone has a chance to address their thoughts on the matter.
In the first chapter, we had a more "general" talk about what Agile software development is, and the value behind it. What does it mean to be Agile? - In the second chapter we looked into the Product Owner role and the many expectations and responsibilities that comes along with the "titel" - and in the third chapter we turned our focus towards the Scrum Master, his role, responsibilities and the ceremonies in SCRUM.
In the fourth chapter - the last this year - we will focus on the feedback loop. In order to be agile, to inspect and adapt and to learn fast you need to get feedback, so a strong and quick feedback loop is essential for succes with Agile. In the chapter we will be covering the following topics:
• Failing is learning
• Feedback loop
• DevOps

The A3 Agile Business: An Agile Alignment Approach
As scale and distribution set in at organisations that have strong growth, spreading the lean and agile culture becomes even more important to keep teams aligned and motivated. At Rally, we have fallen in love with A3 Thinking and templates to address this challenge. We do new hire bootcamps, employee trainings and walk the talk, but A3’s seem to be the most effective tool for helping us spread lean thinking and empower teams to share their problems and strategies. This talk will tell our story, challenge the audience and provide some education on these powerful tools for enabling teams to collaborate, steer and take action.

When Worlds Collide by Karl Scotland
The right management approach will always differ between
companies. lean has recently been breaking down barriers
in its application to a range of industries stemming from its
strong manufacturing background. But how does it compete
against similar, yet slightly different management practices
such as agile? and more so, can the two happily co-exist?
agile coach karl scotland, explains how cloud-based
solutions provider, Rally Software, used both lean and agile practices
together to best meet its customer’s needs.

Agile Seminar at Politecnico di Milano
Date: January 22, 2014
Title:
Agile in 60 minutes
Abstract:
Innovation is to build something that is new and helpful for the end-user. This is not easy. You have to build step by step products and validating initial hypothesis correcting it ongoing. This is Agile.
Questions like: How to organize a productive team? How to work together sharing the objectives in an easy way. How to change plans without impacting time and budget? They will be answered.
During this lesson we are going to see the Values of the Agile Manifesto and how they are implemented with Scrum, Kanban, eXtreme Programming, Pomodoro Technique and Canvas.
How to make SAFe really SAFE Scaling Agile using Pull/Invite rather than Push...
https://agile2016.sched.org/event/6ecx/how-to-make-safe-really-safe-scaling-agile-using-pullinvite-rather-than-pushmandate-yuval-yeret
Abstract:
The Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe(tm)) is a powerful and popular framework for implementing agile at large scale across the enterprise.
In this talk we will examine some dangerous Agile at Scale implementation anti-patterns from real-world cases I've been involved in such as:
Planned/Mandate-based implementation across the enterprise - Pushing implementations onto people regardless of their interest/motivation to change.
Prescribed-based implementation - Either by the book or as designed by a central committee or an external consultant.
Total focus on practices starting from training all the way through assessment/metrics and lack of attention to spirit/principles.
Expecting every group in the organization to work the same way and implement change the same way.
We will then look at some healthier alternatives I used to drive more successful & sustainable change in several organizations. You will learn some concrete techniques that help live up to the Lean/Agile principles of respecting and engaging people.
Using SAFe as the specific backdrop for discussion, we will review field-proven ideas such as pull-based crossing the chasm approach to implementation, use of open space as part of the different SAFe ceremonies, and how Open Space Agility can combine with SAFe.
Note that the ideas and practices have also been tried with other Scaled Agile approaches such as Enterprise Kanban, LeSS.
Learning Outcomes:
Get familiar with some scaled agile implementation anti-patterns related to push/mandate.
Understand when to choose pull/invitation as a healthier more sustainable and successful alternative.
Get some concrete techniques to bring pull/invitation into a scaled agile implementation approach - focusing on SAFe 1-2-3 implementation approach specifically.
Have a high-level understanding of how to implement SAFe using "Open Space Technology".
Understand how to apply these ideas to any Scaled Agile approach (not just SAFe)
Next Level Agile - Ryan Polk
The next level of agile will take you through how agile at scale is different then the team level agile. Strong agile basics are always key to a successful business and why connecting delivery to strategy is essential in realizing the promise of agile. This will help you understand where you are in your agile journey, how to identify trouble spots, and how to fix them.

Less Process, more Guidance with a Team Playbook
Teams are different, projects are different, problems are different. Why are we still trying to squeeze teamwork into department processes, adding bureaucracy, and having organizational layers that makes it harder and much slower to get work done?
Join Sven Peters, former lead evangelist at Atlassian now K15t, as he talks about creating a Team Playbook by collecting practices from all teams in an organizations. No end-to-end process, no strict development rules, just some guidelines. You’ll learn tons of plays like goal setting with OKRs, decision making with DACIs, team improvements with health monitors, finding risks with premortem’s, and many more.
This talk will teach you how to utilize a playbook for more autonomy by providing teams with the freedom to pick what works in their environment.

A Principles Based Approach to SAFe
Presentation to the Agile Nashville User Group, January 2015.
Are you working with multiple agile teams on a single software application? Are you looking for help with making agile work for you at the program level? Have you considered leveraging the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) but been scared off by its prescriptive nature? Are you confused about how program level SAFe applies in your context?
Every organisation is different and what works for one organisation may not work for another. One of the benefits of a framework, is that they can and should be adapted to your context. Based on learnings derived from practical experience, this session will illustrate how focusing on principles can help you design a pragmatic approach to program level SAFe suitable for your unique situation.

Based on learnings derived from practical experience, this session will illustrate how focusing on principles can help you design a pragmatic approach to program level SAFe suitable for your unique situation.

Jim Feldman of Shift Happens! speaks to University of Wisconsin-Madison students and staff about dealing with change, managing change, innovation and customer service. This is a portion of the speech.
From good to great product ownership
Product Owners plant the seeds for excellent agile delivery teams. Great POs know how to plant the best seeds, seeds that the team can swarm around and deliver quickly, that provide rapid feedback and learning, and that morph towards excellent customer experiences. In some situations we need a good PO, in others we need a great PO. The trick is to know the difference. Join me on a journey of discovery working with contemporary examples to find out how to be a great PO or a good PO, and why you might, at different times, want to be both.
We look at two key dimensions that determine whether you need good PO or a great PO, and how to tell the difference. First, what problem is the PO trying to solve? Are you rolling out changes to a mature product or battling to enter an emerging field? Are you scaling rapidly or slowly? Second, how is the PO making decisions about their backlog. Give a PO a project requirements document and a timeline, and what’s a PO to do? Even the best and most experienced POs will struggle to deliver an exciting customer experience that captures the heart of the customer.
Through the workshop, you will learn a simple model for identifying great POs based not on PO experience, but on how the PO makes decisions about their backlog. The best POs know how to combine data and stakeholder input to best effect.Finally, we consider the product problems you are trying to solve, the pace of change, and how this affects the PO - good to great - you want for your product.
How to Scale Your Coaching Efforts to Build a World Class Sales Team
What You'll Learn:
- How to extend your reach as a leader

- Opportunities to implement technology to help scale
Longhorn PHP - Stop Doing It Wrong
You don’t have an Agile Engineer, so why do you have DevOps Engineers? Are they supposed to engineer the DevOp?
Why is it that your DevOps engineers look like a less angry systems administrator? Is Jenkins really that awesome? Has Docker sprinkled Unicorn droppings on the infrastructure?
You’ve had DevOps Engineers for a couple years now, but the number and complexity of problems is still increasing. Is DevOps just a scam?
Start with a simple comparison: Developers solve problems by writing many lines of code. Ops solve problems by reading about settings for hours and making a single change. What are the other personalities required to make successful systems? These personalities belong on the same project at the same time, not in some sequence that absolves previous steps from downstream responsibility.
What does DevOps really look like in a successful software organization?

Servant leadership for traditional manager by Wajih Aslam and Ramus Runberg
When teams, product development and entire organizations move from traditional processes to Agile, we as Managers, have to be prepared for it. It’s a new world were teams are self-organizing, the project has no deadlines, and we as managers are no longer Kings on the Mountaintop.
Leadership and autonomous teams are the buzz-words of today so we as managers have to go through our own agile transformation in order to survive. In this interactive workshop we will discover together, through debate, learning and fun exercises try to find our new path as servant leaders.
Agile Approach for Innovation Management by Mohammad Musleh
In the world current disruption and volatility, corporates are under intense pressure for new innovation, transformation and implementation, where most of them were adapting the traditional approach of an annual plan for project innovation, this include, ideas, budget, allocated team and KPI’s, which considered as waterfall approach for managing innovation project.
Indeed, many of these innovation projects struggled to be realized if it’s successful or real ones till year end, or till the project fall and collapse by itself unfortunately, where by then, huge amount of investments been lost, time wasted and most important it’s block the opportunity for the real innovation projects to be noticed and have exposure inside the corporate, especially if the yearly (long term) ones have occupied all the budget and intention.
Therefore a new mindset of managing innovation project should be adapted and implemented, new agile approach will need to take over to manage the ideas, finance, team and testing how desirable and viable each innovation project is in the market and how it’s feasible to the company.
In Agile Transformation, C comes before A by Syed Riyazuddin
Almost 19 years since Agile Manifesto was published, organizations are still struggling to adopt and mature Agile. There is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to Agile transformation strategy, but plenty of learning from other successful/ failed initiatives.
I will discuss one of the crucial prerequisites of Agile transformation, Cultural assessment, referring to some of the popular models, such as Schneider and Laloux. But most importantly which framework would be most suitable, mapping to cultural type of a department/organization. Not limiting to Scrum, or Kanban, but considering other methods such as Lean, Design Thinking, DevOps etc, to formulate one that aligns with organization's culture. At two levels, first Adoption and then Scale (Scale -up or -out).
Along the way, I will share insights from my experience, some use cases, from working across organizations of various sizes and shapes, and the factors that enabled success in their transformation journeys.

Remaining Agile in a fast growing start-up by Alexander Bosma and Muhammad No...
Alef Education is a fast growing start-up established only in 2017? and we are now delivering our blended learning platform to over 55K students in over 150 schools in the UAE and a few in the USA.
Starting small, with a handful of developers, working Agile was easy peasy. Nowadays, with over 70 developers in 13 teams things got a lot more complex and retaining agility a constant challenge. In this presentation, we will cover a few of the issues that we faced and how we dealt with it. We will cover the introduction of DevOps, applying scaling techniques, dynamic re-teaming, organize around microservices and the introduction of CoP's.
Don't expect a huge success story, however... we are still learning and experimenting and we certainly don't have all the answers yet (or ever will). But we know that what we have experienced is of value for many companies and we are not afraid to share our mistakes as well for the sake of learning.
Principles over Processes: Lasting Change in your Agile Transformation by Zia...
Guiding an organisation through an Agile transformation is difficult, enabling it to change, almost impossible. Many Agile coaches rely on a variety of scaling frameworks that focus on specific processes and practices across the Agile transformation. Such an approach can only affect the climate of the organisation but rarely the deeper aspects of the culture or organisational personality to enable lasting change.
We need more of a principles-based approach that enables the organisations to take ownership and make changes that are created for its context. In this way, we can apply Agile principles to achieve agility across the entire domain of the organisation.
In this workshop, I’ll share with you the 10 principles of enterprise agility and walk you through how these principles can make a difference to your enterprise transformation and what every agile coach should be doing to help apply these principles in any setting, for any organisation to flourish.

Workshop: User Stories: Building Blocks of Products by Mirza Asfaar Baig and ...
"User stories" are building blocks of the products. It brings concepts to tangible form. The quality and completeness of the features are critical for the customers, on the other hand, realistic sizing, estimations and completeness of a user story is critical for the teams to make their customers happy.
Mike Cohn has said it beautifully "User stories are a promise to have a conversation about the requirements" that indicates user stories are not requirements.
In this workshop, we will refresh the concept why user stories are "a promise of having conversation" and not requirements in themselves. Then we will dive into some of techniques used to break down user stories for realistic sizing, estimations and completeness taking a real product example.
Good things come to those who innovate by Marita Mitschein
We all have witnessed companies that seem to effortlessly turn innovation into value. What do these companies have in common? They innovate! But how? Innovation comes with high complexity, cost and inherent risk. Embracing innovation demands that products, services and processes are reimagined. So how do you mitigate the risk of boldly going where no man has gone before? How do you structure innovation projects and apply proven methodologies and practices to unchartered territory? How do you establish an innovation culture? There is not one holy grail of innovation, the right and unique blend of various techniques will drastically improve the chance of success of one’s innovation journey. We will look into examples of companies that disappeared due to the lack of innovation and into companies that demonstrated how their biggest setbacks have become realized opportunities.
Create business Agility plans for exponential companies by Erich R. Bühler
We are in times of unprecedented change. The exponential disruption is affecting all facets of the way organizations operate, including the technology they use, how employees relate with each other and how companies interact among them. Are we ready for exponential change? How can we create change plans that impact the whole organization?
In recent years, brain-analysis technologies such as electroencephalography (EEG), magnetoencephalography (MEG), and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) have allowed us to track how the energy of a thought flows through the brain, in the same way, that we trace blood flowing through our circulatory system. We have concluded that our brains are not well prepared for large-scale change in companies or exponential disruptions.
Different techniques are needed in order to increase knowledge, accelerate adoption and deal with exponential change.
This session shows how to use powerful change plans and strategies to deal with these situations.
Getting to Yes - Delivering Powerful and Effective Review Meetings by Tiago P...
You can view slides directly in prezi at https://prezi.com/view/L6QbLlMEl5Uctfqr1P6W/
The review meeting is a critical ceremony for the team and for the initiative that is underway. Do it right and you'll get all the valuable feedback you need. Do it wrong and you'll get angry and frustrated business stakeholders and no objective feedback that helps you determine where to move next. Too many review meetings fail almost before they start. This is because the stakeholders expectations are not properly managed. The lack of focus on the critical goal - validate items against objective acceptance criteria - brings a sort of a chaos inside the demo, with the users not knowing exactly what to validate. A lot of times, the team doesn't do a proper wrap-up, letting backlog remain in an "almost done" status, just because someone didn't ask directly to the business stakeholders and Product Owner to accept the Work item. Within this presentation I'll share an effective way to structure your review meeting, while providing some tools that will help the team stay on the right track.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object Calisthenics
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI support
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
