The document provides an introduction to Agile concepts through a presentation on delivering value faster with less cost. It discusses Agile principles like delivering value, respecting people, eliminating waste, and continuous learning. The presentation covers Agile methodologies, practices, and tools to help participants better understand how Agile can increase the value their team delivers.
This is a presentation I put together for a conference in 2011. It gives a fast, high level view of where Agile Software Development came from, its core values and principles, and its core practices. It is structured as 7 PechaKucha decks in a row, with short breaks in between, which requires high energy, intensity, and a sense of humor. :)
Presented at International Institute of Business Analysis (IIBA) UK Chapter on 14 October 2010: http://www.selfishprogramming.com/2010/10/05/iiba-uk-chapter-event-14-october-2010/

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!

Unlike traditional projects, Agile teams provide their estimates using a “top-down” approach; where they use current available information to produce gross-level estimation, and this estimation is less accurate and has less details.

Scrum and Patterns share a heritage that goes back centuries. The common foundations of the two — local adaptation, incremental growth, focus on "value," and the central human element — make patterns a particularly viable vehicle for rolling out Scrum. These notes give a short definitive summary of patterns (by example) and pattern languages. Next, they introduce basic Scrum patterns that the Scrum PLoP® effort has gathered over the past five years. After that we look at the "Scrum secrets" — Scrum fundamentals that most practitioners either aren't aware of or which usually go unheeded. Patterns help tease out the tradeoffs ("forces") for these forms in a way that makes them memorable. Last, we give a glimpse of how to use these patterns as a powerful way to evolve your own Scrum implementation to excellence.
Agile Start Me Up - Using the Minimum Viable Discovery (MVD)Chris Chan
"The hardest part of building any software system is determining precisely what to build." - Fredrick Brooks
Discovering exactly what customers, stakeholders, and sponsors want to create is often the most difficult part of product development. Getting everyone aligned can be fraught with misunderstanding and misinterpretation. We often start with a backlog, but how do you know that the development of the product supports the growth of your company.
Getting off on the right foot when starting an Agile initiative can set you up for success. This presentation will outline a basic flow of light touch Discovery workshops as a way to start your agile product development engine.
2013 Scrum Gathering Keynote: Buy or build — where did your agile come from?James Coplien
講演概要: デンマークには「アジリティ」という、訓練された犬によって行われるスポーツがある。その訓練と血統に関する研究論文には、アジャイルソフトウェア開発と似通った点がいくつかある。「日々行われる優れた実践行動(プラクティス)は、トレーナーによって行われているというよりも、チームとして行われている」。現在のアジャイル普及への道は、アジャイルの理念(イデオロギー)を習得したことを認定することに重きが置かれていたり、いくつかの理念をより上位の理念の傘の下にまとめただけで、緊急に軌道修正が必要だ。本講演では、(トヨタの)カイゼンに根ざしたアプローチで、スクラムや一般的なプロセス改善について考えていく。そして、アジャイルの認定において事実や知識をベースとした計測方法から、よりアジャイルな認定方法に移行するとはどういうことかを説明する。そして最後に、ゲームを使った内観的かつ実験的な取り組みについて紹介する。そして、認定やテスト重視のアジャイルに対する事実と知識をベースにした学習方法から、ゲームをベースとした内観的かつ試行的な取り組みへの移行についても紹介する。
"Agility" in Danish is a performance sport done by trained dogs. While training and pedigree papers have certainly found a place in agile's software namesake, good agile practice should be more in the hands of the Team than the Trainer. The current agile journey that focuses on certification around some ideology, or on aligning several ideologies under an uber-ideological umbrella, urgently needs a mid-course correction. This keynote renews the vision of a Kaizen-based approach to Scrum in particular and process improvement in general, and a shift in focus from what is a facts-and-knowledge-based approach to agile based on certification and scored surveys to an introspective and experiential approach based on games.

Using Agile Methodology to Deliver Projects That Transform Customers from Dou...Mike Harris
Examine the agile best practices currently employed by leading web hosting provider, Ecommerce Inc. to deliver best in class technology solutions. By employing these practices, any IT organization can move projects from unpredictable and frustrating to transparent, disciplined, repeatable and most important, successful. We will walk step by step through the practices that you must implement, which are optional and which you should avoid. You will leave this talk with a pragmatic set of tools and practices that you can take back and employ immediately on your own projects to transform you customers from doubters to raving fans.
Minimum Viable Agile is a search for Agile practices and ceremonies, informed by Lean and Agile theory, that produces the maximum amount of customer value, with the least amount of effort.
(Or Just Enough practices and ceremonies to be effective).
One of the core values expressed in the agile manifesto is “working software over comprehensive documentation” because working software is what delivers value to our customers. Agile development requires a sofware development team have working software ready to deploy at the end of each iteration; but accomplishing this can be harder than it seems, especially when first starting with agile. In this highly interactive session you will understand how a team definition of “Done” is necessary to making agile delivery possible, and what you can do to make it happen while avoiding the pitfalls.
Agile From the Top Down: Executives & Leadership Living Agile by Jon StahlLeanDog
I believe that executives must practice what they preach. If they want teams to be transparent and agile, they need to practice themselves and lead by example. This talk will share some Agile & Lean techniques, applied in a new way, to help organizations understand their constraints so they can transparently carry forward their journey to becoming Agile. “Seeing the Whole” includes customers, projects, applications, people, leadership, financials and Standard Work. We will propose creating a BVR (Big (I mean big) Visual Room), refactoring the PMO and suggest some practices to help support this journey. Executives are challenged to lead by example and be transparent. - Jon Stahl
Agile Testing: The Role Of The Agile TesterDeclan Whelan
This presentation provides an overview of the role of testers on agile teams.
In essence, the differences between testers and developers should blur so that focus is the whole team completing stories and delivering value.
Testers can add more value on agile teams by contributing earlier and moving from defect detection to defect prevention.

Recruiting in the Digital Age: A Social Media MasterclassLuanWise
In this masterclass, presented at the Global HR Summit on 5th June 2024, Luan Wise explored the essential features of social media platforms that support talent acquisition, including LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, X (formerly Twitter) and TikTok.
Implicitly or explicitly all competing businesses employ a strategy to select a mix
of marketing resources. Formulating such competitive strategies fundamentally
involves recognizing relationships between elements of the marketing mix (e.g.,
price and product quality), as well as assessing competitive and market conditions
(i.e., industry structure in the language of economics).

Putting the SPARK into Virtual Training.pptxCynthia Clay
This 60-minute webinar, sponsored by Adobe, was delivered for the Training Mag Network. It explored the five elements of SPARK: Storytelling, Purpose, Action, Relationships, and Kudos. Knowing how to tell a well-structured story is key to building long-term memory. Stating a clear purpose that doesn't take away from the discovery learning process is critical. Ensuring that people move from theory to practical application is imperative. Creating strong social learning is the key to commitment and engagement. Validating and affirming participants' comments is the way to create a positive learning environment.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs

Where does Agile come from?
18. We are uncovering better ways of developing software by
doing it and helping others do it. Through this work we have
come to value:
Individuals and interactions over processes and tools
Working software over comprehensive documentation
Customer collaboration over contract negotiation
Responding to change over following a plan
That is, where there is value in the items on the right, we value the items on
the left more.
