This presentation explores the relationship between agile methodologies and generative artificial intelligence (AI). It reflects on how agile principles enabled organizations to adapt during the COVID-19 pandemic, proving agility is a mindset not a place. The rise of generative AI brings new opportunities to augment human capabilities and boost productivity. However, over-reliance on AI risks decreasing human creativity and collaboration. Agile practitioners must remain vigilant to use generative AI purposefully, preserving team interactions. Examples demonstrate how generative AI chatbots can assist with agile coaching, accelerating knowledge acquisition. But human compassion endures despite innovations. Overall, embracing change through strong values and advanced technology allows agile practices to thriv

Value Stream Architecture: What it is and how it can helpTasktop
Modern enterprises increasingly rely on software to keep the lights on and lay the foundations for long-term sustainable growth. Among many things, IT leaders are tasked with accelerating the time to value of their software delivery value streams.
But when asked, “Do you know what is slowing your software delivery teams down?”, why do IT leaders typically not know the answer?
Methodologies such as Agile and DevOps have been adopted to accelerate the time between build to deploy, yet the benefits are often only felt at a localized level (more sprints completed, higher number of deployments etc.) without a tangible link to business outcomes. Enter Value Stream Architecture.
During this webinar, Senior Value Stream Architect, Dan Feminella, presents:
- The business case for Value Stream Architecture
- Why your organization needs it in order to scale Agile and DevOps
- How to architect for end-to-end flow of business value from customer request to delivery and back through the customer feedback loop

Shared Practice—Role of Business Information Systems
Note: This Discussion has slightly different due dates than what is typical for this program. Be mindful of this as you post and respond in the Discussion. Your post is due on Day 7 and your Response is due on Day 3 of Week 2.
As a manager, it is critical for you to understand the types of business information systems available to support business operations, management, and strategy. As of 2013, these include, but are certainly not limited to the following:
· Supply Chain Management (SCM)
· Accounting Information System
· Customer Relationship Management (CRM)
· Decision Support Systems (DSS)
· Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)
· Human Resource Management
These types of systems support critical business functions and operations that every organization must manage. The effective manager understands the purpose of these types of systems and how they can be best used to manage the organization's data and information.
In this Discussion, you will share your knowledge and findings related to business information systems and the role they play in your organization. You will also consider your colleagues' experiences to explore additional ways business information systems might be applied in your colleagues' organizations, or an organization with which you are familiar.
By Day 7
· Describe two or three of the more important technologies or business information systems used in your organization, or in one with which you are familiar.
· Discuss two examples of how these business information systems are affecting the organization you selected. Be sure to discuss how individual behaviors and organizational or individual processes are changing and what you can learn from the issues encountered.
· Summarize what you have learned about the importance of business information systems and why managers need to understand how systems can be used to the organization's advantage.
You should find and use at least one additional current article from a credible resource, either from the Walden Library or the Internet. Please be specific, and remember to use citations and references as necessary.
General Guidance: Your initial Discussion post, due by Day 7, will typically be 3–4 paragraphs in length as a general expectation/estimate. Refer to the rubric for the Week 1 Discussion for grading elements and criteria. Your Instructor will use the rubric to assess your work.

delve into the critical dimensions of Future Shock, exploring how technological acceleration, novelty, transience, diversity, and contradictions shape our world and our responses to it.
What's the Agile landscape of today and tomorrow and what insights we can gather and feed into Futures Thinking for shaping preferable futures through Agile Approaches.
Climate change and the depletion of natural resources have made it inopinently urgent to move away from the traditional linear economy models used to date.
For some years now, companies have been experiencing increasing pressure from markets, investors and employees themselves to adapt their business models to those inherent in the circular economy: a way of doing business that aims to keep resources in use as long as possible in production cycles and whose products and materials are recovered and regenerated at the end of their life cycle.
Such a challenge requires every organization to reinvent itself and face significant risks.
However, it is equally clear that such transformations are capable of unlocking great opportunities in terms of new market segments that demand ever-growing quantities of sustainable products and services.
Approaching high uncertainty contexts such as the one described, with traditional ways, severely limits the chances of harvesting all the available value, as well as not breaking the dangerous spiral we find ourselves in.
In this talk we will understand how Agile can be an effective catalyst for such transformations.
We will explore how Business Agility approaches and tools can support any company in all strategic, governance and operational phases of that transformative journey.
Adaptive Strategy Combining OKR and Lean Portfolio ManagementEmiliano Soldi
Uncertainties and market volatility are today the norm
Setting a vision and strategic plans able to survive to such a situation is a complicated exercise for any companies
C-Levels must navigate this continual and perpetual changes; they must provide themselves with tools capable of tackling this complexity, adapt quickly, engage and keep the whole company connected
Exploiting the huge potential of OKRs and Lean Portfolio Management and then connecting them to exploit each other, is the best response to face these challenges
Catalizzare la trasformazione verso la sostenibilità aziendale con agli OKR -...Emiliano Soldi
Gli OKR (Objective and Key Results) possono essere considerati una pratica di management che aiuta le aziende a definire in maniera puntale gli obiettivi e i relativi risultati strategici da raggiungere, grazie a focus, impegno, concentrazione e allineamento continui. In questo articolo descriveremo come gli OKR possano essere utilizzati efficacemente anche per guidare la trasformazione verso sostenibilità e circolarità aziendale, in maniera pervasiva e con un processo end-to-end.

Adaptive Strategy Combinare OKR con Lean Portfolio ManagementEmiliano Soldi
Incertezze e volatilità dei mercati stanno diventando la normalità; situazione che andrà sempre più consolidandosi.
Sviluppare piani strategici in grado di perdurare nel tempo come fatto in passato (3-5 anni) in queste condizioni, è un esercizio piuttosto complicato per qualsiasi azienda. Il management deve navigare quei contesti dotandosi dei corretti strumenti che permettano all’organizzazione di adattarsi rapidamente, coinvolgendo e connettendo l’intera azienda verso obiettivi che possono mutare frequentemente.
Objective and Key Results (OKR) e Lean Portfolio Management (LPM) sono due pratiche che, già prese singolarmente, hanno un potenziale intrinseco enorme e quando adeguatamente combinate, forniscono la necessaria flessibilità nel modificare le proprie strategie in corso d’opera assicurando il raggiungimento dei risultati chiave.

We strongly believe that Agility is a key business capability not only to adapt quickly to market discontinuities (Business Agility), but also represents a key resource to best address transformations toward sustainability and circular economy
Sustainability, Circularity, Circular Economy needto be on top on any leaders agenda.
We Agilists have been always used with navigating the complexity, acting empirically and create contexts where collective intelligence can make the difference in finding new pathways and approaches.
We think that our worldwide community has a very high potential for addressing the immense complexity behind issues of environmental sustainability and circularity and could help organizations in finding the best sustainable solutions for leaving a better world for those who will come after us.
That said, we need to step in. Now.
Come supportare le organizzazioni nel cambiamento, favorendo e facilitando i processi sottostanti. L'articolo descrive come utilizzando tecniche e approcci legati ad Agile sia possibile rendere più effettivo, veloce e durevole il cambiamento stesso.
Designing adaptive and nimble organizationsEmiliano Soldi
What does it mean to design agile and adaptive organizations?
What are rthe necessary organizational archetypes?
What about Value Streams and Lean Portfolio Management?
Favoring the Emergence through Agile ScaffoldingEmiliano Soldi
The frameworks for scaling Agile in organizations are certainly an excellent tool on which to leverage to develop strategic skills such as market adaptation, innovation and the reduction of product creation times; characteristics that, in all likelihood, will be able to significantly raise the level of general customer satisfaction.
Not a few times, alas, we found ourselves having to deal with practices suggested by those same frameworks that did not fit well with the circumstances and environment of reference. In those cases it is of little use to abandon one framework in favor of another as, in most cases, we would face new failures and a sense of frustration squared.
In business contexts where a minimum but sufficient Agile adoption maturity has been reached to be defined as practitioners, it is certainly worth experimenting with new approaches.
In this deck we will talk about how it is possible to encourage the emergence of emerging practices by teams in their native contexts, and which allow to scale Agile in a more organic and coordinated way, to achieve the above benefits, without the risk of rejection and decreasing to a minimum the inefficiencies due to lack of alignment, collaboration and communication.
We will use the example of "biological scaffolding" to explain how in a human body, in a completely natural way, it is possible to influence a system from the inside, cellular in that case, towards certain directions and behaviors, avoiding invasive, constricting interventions or structures or limiting.
We will use that concept as a metaphor to apply to Agile transformations.
Business Agility - Transforming Disruptions into Competitive AdvantageEmiliano Soldi
What we are witnessing in terms of market dynamism, consumer needs and working habits, can no longer simply be categorized as the "new normal". There is no longer a single and clear goal to reach.
Peter Hinssen, introduces the new and fascinating concept of “Never Normal”: a dynamic, fluid, ever-changing, ever-changing reality that must be understood and embraced.
In a context in which disruption becomes normality, what strategies must companies and their leaders implement, not for mere survival, but allowing their organizations to exploit these discontinuities as a disruptive competitive factor?
We believe that Business Agility is the means by which to acquire those mentalities, skills and attitudes, allowing us to respond to new challenges and seizing the opportunities of the technological-humanistic-digital transformation.
In this talk we will understand how the evolution of Agile approaches, born more than twenty years ago, can now be applied to the entire company to reshape its culture, talents, operating models, structures and processes, in order to train the organizational muscles. The Business Agility approach therefore allows us to respond proactively to the epochal changes underway, seizing the opportunities of the technological-digital transformation, definitively placed at the service of us human beings.
Being a leader of any organization today is a very demanding exercise, sometimes prohibitive if not equipped with the right skills. More and more often we find ourselves moving in little-known, uncertain, ambiguous contexts, where risks and opportunities do not reveal themselves for what they are, until at the last useful moment.
There has never been a time like the one we are experiencing today in which, for those leaders, it is not mandatory to develop real superpowers that allow them to move with greater confidence, agility and sensitivity in those contexts, such as to increase their probability of success for their organizations.
In this talk we will understand how to develop those superpowers.
We will talk about how proceeding iteratively by trial and error equips us with an infrared view capable of making us see through the fog of complexity.
We will discuss how an approach oriented to continuous learning develops the latest generation of tactile sensors to help us orient ourselves with agility in uncertainty.
We will appreciate how understanding the different contexts in which we are immersed exponentially increases our ability to focus and analyze in making the right decisions.
Finally, we will evaluate how the definition of open and adaptive strategies provides organizations with the ability to flex and stretch within the markets in search of the best opportunities.
Trovarsi alla guida di un’organizzazione oggi è un esercizio piuttosto impegnativo. La portata delle
sfide e la velocità con cui queste si susseguono, obbliga a non attendere l’accadere degli eventi, ma ad
anticiparli, percependone i segnali deboli, seguirne lo sviluppo e prepararsi a trarne vantaggio nel
momento della loro piena maturazione. Mai come oggi, ad un leader, sono richieste capacità fuori
dalla norma per condurre la propria organizzazione con successo nel viaggio verso innovazione e
agilità aziendale, un insieme di veri e propri superpoteri: Disegno organizzativo agile, Cambiamento
continuo accelerato, Sviluppo incessante delle persone, Processo decisionale flessibile, Strategia
adattiva aperta.
Quando l urgenza del cambiamento diventa un acceleratore della agilita aziend...Emiliano Soldi
La lezione più importante che questa pandemia ci sta insegnando è che l’urgenza di cambiare,
sommata ad un atteggiamento continuo nell’ascolto ai clienti, sono veicoli in grado di incrementare
notevolmente l’agilità organizzativa. Le aziende che sono passate indenni alla prima virulenta ondata
del Covid-19 (Marzo/Maggio 2020), hanno di fatto sviluppato, quasi inconsciamente e in un tempo
incredibilmente breve, nuove capacità di risposta agli stimoli e cambiamenti esterni; capacità che oggi
consentono loro di affrontare al meglio momenti di discontinuità dei mercati.
Business agility come cavalcare onda della discontinuita dei mercati leader...Emiliano Soldi
L’agilità aziendale è la capacità di realizzare e sostenere il pieno potenziale di un’organizzazione, sia in termini di profitti che di persone, indipendentemente dai cambiamenti del contesto circostante.
Oggi ogni azienda dovrebbe immaginare se stessa come in un viaggio verso il continuo sviluppo di resilienza, adattabilità, empatia e agilità, al fine di meglio adattarsi alle incertezze e alle repentine discontinuità dei mercati.
Morphing continually to achieve Business AgilityEmiliano Soldi
Morphing is a special effect in motion pictures and animations that changes one image or shape into another, through a seamless transition.
That's a great metaphor to represent how companies should reinvent themselves continuously, to serve its customers and run after their ever changing needs. That state is today called "Business Agility".
Companies achieving that state, report increased revenues, better capacity to turnaround, higher quality offerings, improved relationships with clients and higher employees engagement.
Statistics say that they possess three fundamental aspects: Lean-Agile Funding Models, organizational structures re-arranged around value streams, revisited processes to sustain relentless improvement.
In this talk we'll see what kind of changes are needed to companies' operating models to develop those key aspects and how Agile can be thought as the best methodological and cultural platform to speed-up that change.
We will understand what is necessary to let our organizations to finally being able to morph continually to achieve Business Agility.
Agile to boost value for customers, employees and communitiesEmiliano Soldi
Covid-19 crisis we are experiencing is teaching us, once again, that everything in this world is interconnected. Paraphrasing Lorenz, we could say that a banal behavior of a bat or snake in China can trigger a pandemic in Europe or in the United States.
How can societies and humans can leverage on these mechanisms and produce more value for customers, employees and communities?
We believe that with its values, approaches and principles, Agile can make a difference.
We are firmly convinced of the creation of the stable and long-lasting agile team, both a key competitive element of any company that wants to compete as a protagonist in today's market.
The Agile teams were designed to proceed in that direction: small, self-managed, inter-functional teams, preferably located in the same room and possibly long-lasting.
we will understand together why traditional project management approaches for creating the work team present important problems.
We will understand the dynamics underlying the creation of the stable work team and we will review some of the techniques for creating the cohesive and high-performance team, completely changing the paradigm: from moving people towards work, towards work towards people.
Finally we will understand why an agile team created according to those standards, possibly more resources to successfully deal with any changes in its physiognomy, while continuing to produce constant value.
Velocità di risposta e capacità di adattamento sono attitudini fondamentali per qualsiasi organizzazione che voglia rispondere adeguatamente alle esigenze dei mercati e alla loro volatilità; per raggiungere tali obbiettivi, è d’obbligo che le stesse valutino costantemente con attenzione i rischi (e opportunità) inerenti servizi e prodotti in sviluppo.
Approcci tradizionali alla gestione del rischio, in quei contesti, non sono in grado di rispondere adeguatamente. In questo articolo vedremo come Agile rappresenti un ottimo approccio di
gestione dei rischi nel loro intero ciclo di vita.

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder

5. Virtual Stand-ups
Teams used video conferencing
to hold daily stand-ups.
Members discussed work done,
obstacles, and plans. Coaches
pushed concise communication
for efficient virtual stand-ups
Focus on Individual
Coaches promoted open
communication and
frequent one-on-one
check-ins. They created
virtual spaces for social
conversations, building
camaraderie
Flexible Hours
Coaches enabled teams to
set core collaboration hours
but work flexibly to
accommodate personal
needs and time zones
Virtual Pair/Mob
Programming
Teams used screen sharing to
enable remote pair and mob
programming. Coaches facilitated
role rotation, equal participation,
and real-time code editing
Re-prioritize Value
Coaches worked with POs
to reprioritize based on
changing needs. They
guided teams to focus on
delivering immediate value,
adapting the backlog as
circumstances evolved
“Definition of Done”
Coaches helped teams adapt
the definition of "done" for
remote work. They
encouraged considering
virtual testing and
collaboration in acceptance
criteria
…yet, we adapted
Virtual walls didn't stop standups
Coaching happened through chat,
collaboration via remote tools, new
rituals were created
Human connections remained healthy
6. How was it possible?
Video conferencing, screen sharing, digital whiteboards
and team chat tools
TOOLS
Soft and behavioral competences have been improved:
communication, active listening, empathy
SKILLS
People focused more on results vs presence, seeing that being
remote did not hamper productivity or quality
VALUE
Management have been forced to empower distributed
teams without micromanaging
MINDSET
Organizations invested more on building trust and
connections among remote people
TRUST
Diversity was 1st priority in hiring the best talents, regardless
of place; co-location was no longer a constraint
HETEROGENEOUSNESS

Technology
Culture
7. And…we definitely realized that agility
isn't a place, but a mindset
Our very principles stood firm
despite disrupted plans
…and, even in isolation,
we delivered value

8. And, what’s
happening
today?
We are at the inflection point

For no reasons at all this must be intended
as a substitution of Agile roles, any Agile core activities,
nor avoiding or delegating any related responsibilities
Disclaimer
• Generative AI in certain
circumstances can produce
hallucinations by filling in blanks
with inaccurate information
• Due to data they have been
trained with, LLMs’ responses can
contain bias (e.g., age, gender,
cultural, racial, etc.)
• Outdated training datasets lead to
LLMs not having current, real-
world knowledge, which can cause
reliability and accuracy problems
• Large language models can
potentially generate content that
violates copyright laws (e.g.,
trademark infringement, rights
violations, etc.)
• Generative AI could expose user
proprietary and confidential data
due to possible limited protections
of some providers

20. Product Owner Persona
A Steep Learning Curve
When I first started as a Product Owner, I felt
overwhelmed. I struggled to elicit requirements,
write coherent user stories, prioritize the backlog,
and provide clear specifications
It was a seemingly impossible balancing act
21. LLM chatbots can generate interactive simulations to help product owners
explore requirements scenarios and uncover potential problems early
POs can setup an agile requirements simulator based on LLM chatbot
o submit user stories and then test them by to validating completeness,
consistency, and testability
The simulator could also help POs prioritize and estimate user stories
to create realistic sprint plans and manage stakeholder expectations https://www.emilianosoldi.it/enhance-coaching-
agile-requirements-simulator-with-chatgpt/
The Agile Requirements Simulator
Act as a Requirement Simulator.
I will insert acceptance criteria (AC:) or user
stories (US:). Use the requirements to guide
your behavior.
Then, I will insert scenarios and you will tell
me if that is possible given the scenarios and
in case it is not possible write the missing
requirement needed in the format of a user
story.
Add this US: As a new user I want to insert
valid user name and password, presses
confirm, to acquire the status Registered User
AC: Users need to register to set a
username and password;
AC: Password must be 8 characters in
length and has to contain 1 capital letter
and one number
This user story is too big and not fine grained.
Decompose it and create as many user stories
to let them fine-grained and auto-consistent
Please provide how the new user registration
form shall look like
Let’s simulate the use of the system.
I am a new user and I insert as User Name
‘john’ and as password ‘smith’
Now, create a formatted CSV list, compliant
with Atlassian Jira, of the inserted user stories
1) SETUP 2) POPULATE 3) USE

22. Are you familiar with the Business Model Canvas?
Yes, I'm familiar with the Business Model Canvas. It's a
strategic tool used for developing and describing
business models. If you have any questions about it or
need assistance related to it, feel free to ask
From now on you are an expert product manager of a
logistic company and you need to convince your boss that
a new app that manages the selection of the packaging
material for the material to be shipped in according to
their weight and typology and client necessities, by using
recycled material, can be very useful. Compile the
Business Model Canvas for me and arrange it in a table
Sure, I'd be happy to help you create
a Business Model Canvas for your
new app idea
Now create the Vision Board Canvas from Pichler
I understand you're looking for a Vision Board
Canvas following Roman Pichler's framework.
However, I'd like to clarify that Pichler's
Vision Board is typically used in Agile
product development to define the vision
and goals of a product. Since you've asked me
to act as an expert product manager in a
logistic company, I'll tailor the Vision Board
Canvas to that context
Always from Pichler's framework develop
the 2 main User Personas

I am currently facilitating a Business Agility transformation within
a bank. I am covering the role of Business Agility Lead and
responsible for the whole transformation program. One important
responsibility of mine is to coach the company's executives to help
them thoroughly embrace the agile mindset and be active sponsors
of the transformation, moreover of the ones where agile is
brought. Did you get it? Reply just yes or no
Yes.
Now, one of the executives (the one responsible for the retail
area), has a traditional mindset, very much directive, is not aligned
with the board and do not support the transformation.
I would like you to ask me questions to help me create a plan, with
concrete actions and observations, for coaching him and make him
positive and supportive about the transformation.
You should ask questions until you have sufficient information
about the situation, the context, his approach and what you
consider important to convert his negative approach. Ask me the
first question.
Of course. To better understand the situation, could you
provide some insights into the specific challenges or concerns
that this executive might have expressed regarding the
Business Agility transformation? Additionally, do you have
any information about his current understanding of agile
practices and how they might relate to the retail area?
AGILE CONSULTING AGILE MENTORSHIP
EXAMPLE
27. The Pitfall of
Overreliance
Advanced GenAI tools available to
Agile Teams for generating code,
content, and backlogs can lead to less
human creativity, collaboration, focus
Agile teams must remain vigilant
to prevent the diminishing
of human interactions
GenAI purpose should augment
human capabilities not limit them
29. Heavy
dependency
on AI expertise
As GenAI will become more
and more embedded in
organizations processes and
habits, developing related AI
systems will require specific,
expertise in AI technologies
Scarce AI expertise could
create bottlenecks and over-
reliance on just a few people,
limiting autonomy and
decision-making of other
team members
30. Large Language Models bring
tremendous productivity
benefits, although raise urgent
climate questions
SOLUTIONS EXISTS
✓ Cloud migration cuts
emissions
✓ Green cloud providers cut
them further
✓ Green software boosts
efficiency and lower energy
consumption
✓ Carbon metrics enable
accountability
LLMs have overwhelming
potential to transform industries
for the better
However, only with a focus on
sustainability we can overcome
the carbon conundrum
31. No matter what changes, innovations,
or disruptions occur; strong values,
human compassion, and advanced technology
let Agile to endure and thrive
