Lisa Cooney has successfully used Agile Instructional Systems Design (Agile ISD) for 3 years. She developed a two-week course on Agile ISD that was well-received. Now she manages a curriculum of six courses using Agile online tools. Agile ISD is iterative rather than sequential, with early and frequent releases of working software or courseware. It values individuals, collaboration, and responding to change over documentation and plans.
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.

6. Is Scrum enough?
This is fundamental, basic and easy to understand slides for college students. No glamour, no hi-fi terms. Plain simple english and you will learn agile
I describe the common problem of unbalanced organisations and how Kanban might be a solution.
I also points out that you are not doing Kanban if you do not follow the six practices. Then you are doing something else, that looks like kanban. And guess what, you might not get the expected result out of kanban.
Five Steps to a More Agile Organization: Adopting Agility at ScaleLitheSpeed
While agile methods have become mainstream, agile organizations have not. Perhaps several development teams have had great results from a method like Scrum, but as soon as you begin to scale the effort up, the inertia of a fundamentally waterfall-oriented organization becomes painfully apparent. This is where many companies find themselves today. This webinar will address some key tips to driving agility beyond technology groups and making an entire company more adaptive and responsive.

Agile 2013 - Lean Change for Enabling Agile TransformationsAlexis Hui
Experience report summarizing our experiences with agile transformation in mid-large sized IT organizations and challenges we faced with current methods available. As a result, we saw a need for a better change approach to help us and others in the agile community with agile transformations. Borrowing thinking and tools from Lean Startup, Kanban and Kotter we have defined a structured framework known as Lean Change. The premise behind our thinking is that successful agile transformation requires learning and feedback as the keys for success. Lean Change is founded on three concepts, co-creation of changes through negotiated change, experiment based objectives using minimum viable changes, and validated learning to guide changes through a structured validation lifecycle.

When Management Asks You: “Do You Accept Agile as Your Lord and Savior?"admford
So you’ve been told that your organization is going to implement Agile methodologies across ALL of IT, and not just in development. And you’ve been given the responsibility to implement it in Security Operations, and without a clear plan or measurable objectives other than “make the team more efficient”. While one can complain that someone in the C-Suite heard of the book “Scrum: The Art of Doing Twice the Work in Half the Time”, you still have a job to do. So the basics of Project Management, Agile, Scrum & Kanban are covered and how one can shoehorn these concepts into working in an operations context. Oh, and there will also be some finagling of where DevOps stands regarding Agile and Operations.

Oh, and there will also be some finagling of where DevOps stands regarding Agile and Operations.
In this presentation, we will use a fast-paced, methodical approach to provide a full picture of what Agile is, how it works, who is using it and how you can use it. We’ll cover a lot of information, but will introduce, compare, and contrast concepts which encourage an objective picture based on your experience. Agile is not a panacea or a prescriptive methodology. At its foundation, it is a mentality and a way of working and managing work that permeates everything you do. We will discuss how that is and what that means in practical terms.
The Value Management SIG presented Chris Samson and Daniel Rahamim from London Underground who offered an insight to the organisational approach of implementing Lean principles in one of London Underground's major upgrade programmes.
Want to ensure everything you do adds value to your business? Want to make a real difference to business performance and customer satisfaction?
This challenge was taken up by London underground’s Sub Surface Upgrade Programme (SUP) 18 months ago amidst a time of cost savings, programme review and ever increasing expectations and scrutiny from our stakeholders and customers.

The Agile Method and AGILE ISD; how to use each to improve your training programChristopher King
The term "agile" is being used readily to express the desire organizations have to be responsive and flexible to change in their organization. The Agile development method is designed to quickly and efficiently produce software products. Recently its application has expanded to other areas including training products. AGILE ISD is a new way of thinking about education where performance is the metric that drives the development and delivery decisions in an organization’s training program. It recognizes the long tail of learning and the five moments of learning need. AGILE ISD provides strategies for creating a culture of learning at your organization.
While these two agile methods are for different purposes, they are not mutually exclusive. This session will explain how your organization can use both methods to your advantage and success. We clarify some of the different uses of the term agile within the learning and development community. In this session we will cover:
• Agile (software) movement - its history, its main tenets, different types of agile frameworks and how to incorporated into the ADDIE training methodology
• AGILE ISD – is a methodology developed by Dr. Conrad Gottfredson that aims to supplement ADDIE by expanding its scope to include informal learning design. We cover its history, its main tenants, principles of agile education, and incorporating AGILE ISD into the ADDIE training methodology
• How the two approaches can both be successfully applied in your L&D organization

28. Agile Values
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, while there is value in the items on the right, we value
the items on the left more.
29. Agile Principles
1. Our highest priority is to satisfy the customer
through early and continuous delivery of valuable
software courseware.
2. Welcome changing requirements, even late in
development. Agile processes harness change for
the customer's competitive advantage.
3. Deliver working software courseware frequently,
from a couple of weeks to a couple of months, with
a preference to the shorter timescale.
30. Agile Principles
4. Business people and developers must work
together daily throughout the project.
5. Build projects around motivated individuals. Give
them the environment and support they need, and
trust them to get the job done.
6. The most efficient and effective method of
conveying information to and within a development
team is face-to-face conversation.
31. Agile Principles
7. Working software courseware is the primary
measure of progress.
8. Agile processes promote sustainable development.
The sponsors, developers, and users should be
able to maintain a constant pace indefinitely.
9. Continuous attention to technical excellence and
good design enhances agility.
32. Agile Principles
10. Simplicity--the art of maximizing the amount of work
not done--is essential.
11. The best architectures, requirements, and designs
emerge from self-organizing teams.
12. At regular intervals, the team reflects on how to
become more effective, then tunes and adjusts its
behavior accordingly.
33. Why Agile Works
• Makes client happy when value is delivered
earlier
• Reveals risks early when they can be
mitigated
• Improves product quality
34. Why Agile Works
Agile taps into innate human need to:
• Be in control of our own work
• Work collaboratively towards a common goal
• Take pride in our work (sprint review)
• Know what is going on (transparency)
• Solve problems as a team
• Work at a sustainable pace
• Have fun!
38. How do you get to Carnegie
Hall?
Practice, practice, practice
39. Agile ISD Take Aways
• Agile is the wave of the future for ISD
• Kanban is a good way to get started
• Once you learn it, you will love it!
