When most people hear the word governance, they think of some guy in a suit or a uniform telling them what they can and can’t do. That's not entirely true.
1) The marketing team at Perforce Software tried adopting Agile practices like Scrum but faced challenges with communication gaps and schedule management.
2) Their first attempt using daily Scrums improved internal communication but not inter-department coordination.
3) A second attempt using spreadsheets and a project management tool was more organized but still had gaps between departments.
4) The document concludes that truly adopting Agile requires cross-functional teams across all departments and better tools to support virtual collaboration in a global company.
With an agency focus on IoT/M2M and other technology-based clients, it's in ThreeTwelve's DNA to elevate people over process by adapting Agile methodology to an agency setting. Here's an introduction to how and why we do what we do, the way we do.
This document discusses action mapping for rapid elearning development. It describes action mapping as identifying measurable goals, behaviors to achieve those goals, and activities to practice those behaviors. This allows for agile development of elearning modules in 12-15 weeks through close collaboration with subject matter experts and user testing. The process involves weekly meetings to develop scenarios without upfront writing, using storyboards and prototypes to get early feedback and make changes. The goal is to achieve behavior change through engaging learning that can be accessed and changed throughout development.

The document discusses the idea of an "Agile Change Mashup" where change practitioners are asked to work on agile programs and projects, and agile coaches are asked to effect large-scale change. It proposes combining the skills of agile coaches, who focus on team-level work, and change practitioners, who focus on the organization level. The mashup would focus on both the team and organization, applying systems and complexity thinking with a toolbox of agile methodologies and communication techniques. The document provides examples of how change practitioners and agile coaches can support each other and debunk myths about agile approaches. It encourages readers to try creating their own mashups.

This document discusses agile estimating and planning. It outlines some of the problems with traditional project planning approaches, such as overruns in cost and schedule and underutilized features. Agile planning focuses on features rather than activities and incorporates uncertainty. It involves estimating the size of backlog items using techniques like planning poker and measuring team velocity to determine how long it will take to complete items based on past performance. Regular replanning allows adapting to changes and improving estimates over time.

Release wednesdays and the agile release train uploadChris Smith
The document discusses the benefits of using an "Agile Release Train" approach for software development. Some key points:
- An Agile Release Train plans work in train-like themes that are delivered on a regular cadence, such as every 2 weeks. This provides a predictable release rhythm.
- Work is broken into small, independently releasable increments called user stories. If a story is not ready for the current release, it waits for the next one.
- Planning occurs through story mapping epics and stories to future releases. The plan is updated each sprint to reflect progress and priority changes.
- Benefits include clear focus on current work, visibility of priorities and timelines, and
No Estimates at Scale in the Federal GovernmentAdam Parker
The document discusses experiments conducted by a federal government product team with no estimates. They switched from Scrum to Kanban, removed story pointing, and used discussion cards and flow metrics instead. This improved refinement discussions and allowed forecasting using cycle times. They later returned to Scrum and then gradually reintroduced pointing. Key lessons were that no estimates can work with a stable, high-trust team comfortable with the domain if refinement ensures stories are not too large.
This document discusses leveraging leader standard work to fuel organizational transformation. It defines a lean management system and outlines four key elements: visual management, tier accountability boards, standard work for leaders, and discipline. Leader standard work involves establishing standards for repetitive tasks leaders perform regularly to support processes. It should make up 10-15% of executive time and more for other roles. Developing leader standard work from the bottom up ensures alignment. The document provides examples and discusses how to establish and implement leader standard work.

Planning poker and t-shirt sizing are two common agile estimation techniques. Planning poker uses cards with estimate ranges to facilitate team discussions, improving accuracy. T-shirt sizing assigns estimates based on metaphorical shirt sizes (S, M, L) rather than hours to avoid arguments. Effective agile estimation requires proper planning, understanding requirements, and accounting for tasks like testing, documentation, meetings, and support that teams often underestimate. Good communication and research into requirements allows teams to develop shared understandings needed for accurate estimates.

Good metrics focus on time to market, value, and innovation at both the organizational and team level. Examples of metrics include percentage of features completed, release frequency, customer satisfaction, and defect rates. Metrics should be transparent and encourage continuous learning.
Executing Change Management with Agile PracticesJason Little
Organizational change is unpredictable but we tend to still run these programs like we run projects. The change program is given a scope, budget and a deadline and then we're shocked when it doesn't work! If you're forced into running a change initiative within the constraints of a project, you can use Agile practices to help you manage the uncertainty.

Group discussions (GDs) are used by organizations to evaluate candidates' personality traits and skills. In a GD, candidates are given a topic to discuss in a group for 15-20 minutes. There are different types of GD topics, including factual topics about day-to-day issues, controversial topics meant to generate debate, and abstract topics that test lateral thinking. Effective communication skills, knowledge of the subject, leadership skills, and thorough preparation are important for participating in and summarizing a successful GD.
Research is the systematic and objective analysis and recording of controlled observations that may lead to the development of generalizations, principles, or theories, resulting in prediction and possible control of events .
The presentation describes the situation of female foeticide in Indian society. Its causes ,effects and remedies are also described in this presentation.
A group discussion (GD) is a methodology used by organizations to evaluate candidates' personality traits and skills. In a GD, candidates are given a topic to discuss in a group for 15-20 minutes. GDs test a candidate's ability to work in a team, communication skills, reasoning ability, leadership skills, initiative, assertiveness, flexibility, creativity, and thinking on their feet. To succeed, candidates should take leadership roles, keep an open mind, speak with a moderate tone, avoid getting emotional, focus on body language, and listen well. Candidates should not constantly object to others, take a pessimistic approach, insult others, share irrelevant stories, or seek attention. The goal of a GD is to see

Pin the tail on the metric v01 2016 octSteven Martin
This presentation takes a different approach to metrics. Instead of listing the Top 10 field-tested metrics, we first talk about goals as prerequisites for metrics. Next, we discuss characteristics of good and bad metrics. We end with walking through an activity called “Pin the Tail on the Metric,” a technique to facilitate the critical thinking needed to determine what types of metrics can help your organization discuss trade-offs, options, and ultimately make better forward-looking decisions.
The document discusses measuring agility in a Scrum team. It introduces the GQM (Goal, Question, Metric) approach for defining metrics aligned with goals. Some example goals are improving team maturity, aligning development with business, and increasing work delivered. Suggested metrics include happiness surveys, successful sprint ratio, ROI, velocity, and defect counts. The document also provides examples of metrics for specific areas like release planning, Scrum events, communication, impediments, coding practices, and process efficiency. Maintaining transparency with stakeholders and continuously improving are emphasized as key to agile success.
Agile metrics can be used to the advantage or the detriment of teams and an organisation’s Agile success. This session looks at several of the core Agile metrics used to measure success to help you understand what success looks like, why the metric is desirable and what the metrics can tell us.
Understanding why we want these metrics is critical to capturing something of value, rather than just doing 'because'. What will leaders and decision makers do with these metrics? What value do they add?
Steve will also dive into the negative impacts of some of the Agile metrics we are sometimes forced to capture, how chasing velocity leads to gaming the system etc. He’ll look at bad metrics such as the seven deadly sins of Agile measurement and how to avoid them in your enterprise.
SpiraTeam/SpiraPlan supports key aspects of managing agile projects including:
1) Establishing a product roadmap by engaging stakeholders, prioritizing requirements, and grooming the backlog for multiple iterations.
2) Estimating work as a team by increasing transparency, using themes as goals, and planning for risk.
3) Managing the agile process through features that support managing flow and velocity, increasing task and testing visibility, automating reporting, and triaging defects without breaking commitments.
The document summarizes the workstreams and initiatives that an organization is undertaking to improve how it works with its business and customers. It discusses 7 workstreams: 1) Establishing basics like consistent senior leadership, metrics, and a request log. 2) Quick wins like a tech bar, iPads, and WiFi. 3) Implementing proper service management. 4) Reviewing strategy, applications, and infrastructure. 5) Adopting a joint agile development approach. 6) Gathering feedback and communicating changes. 7) Preparing for the future by assessing skills, making staff moves, and defining a target operating model.
The document provides an overview of Six Sigma and quality management. It defines Six Sigma as a methodology that aims for 3.4 defects per million opportunities by reducing variation and defects in processes. It explains the DMAIC cycle of Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control used in Six Sigma to systematically improve processes. It also discusses understanding customer requirements, process mapping, and measuring process performance as key aspects of Six Sigma.

Chapter Performance & Benchmarking Unwrapped: Using Dashboards to Tell the Ch...Billhighway
This document provides an overview of using dashboards to track chapter performance and benchmarking. It discusses how associations currently have a "data desert" due to fragmented data systems that prevent an accurate view of chapter performance. It also notes a "volunteer desert" where volunteers spend too much time on administrative tasks instead of their mission. The document recommends using a dashboard to move beyond just comparing chapters and instead focus on their collective impact. It provides guidance on setting up a dashboard, including linking it to strategic goals and selecting the right metrics and data sources to measure chapter roles and performance.

3. Methods for collecting data to analyze processes, identify issues, and plan improvements like cause and effect analysis, check sheets, and control charts.
Building a Research Flywheel: A Helpful Guide for Product Managers & Their TeamsAggregage
You’ve heard of Amazon and Vanguard, two of the most successful customer-focused businesses in the world, but have you heard Jim Collins’ Flywheel Effect? You might be surprised to learn that neither of these businesses would be where they are today without it.
Every step of the product journey is informed by research: what works, what doesn’t, what customers want, what they need. But no one tool or method can create a thriving research practice for product managers. Instead, PMs and business leaders need to turn the crank of the wheel to get processes in motion and build momentum.
By developing product- and customer-focused Flywheels, you can uncover new insights, make better products, and invest in more meaningful research. This, ultimately, will lead to more value, more growth, and a greater understanding of what your customer’s need.
Join Jessica Hall, Product Strategy & Design Leader and Co-Author of The Product Mindset, for this illuminating discussion on the Flywheel Effect, and discover how it can help you supercharge your product process. Attendees for this session will:
• Learn how Flywheels create momentum and value
• Explore the process for defining your team’s Flywheel
• Uncover how to supercharge and expand your Flywheel
this slides go with the webinar linked below. In it we discuss some of the things you need to consider and methods to use when looking into upgrading your systems.

Making Your Agile Transition and Org Progress VisibleJason Little
The document discusses making an organization's agile transition and progress more visible. It provides examples of visualization tools used at different levels, from team/project level like sprint burndowns and impediment logs, to portfolio level like release burndowns. The case study of a company called Q4 that saw a spike in sales and customers but production problems is discussed. By visualizing data on sales and implementations, they identified key problem areas and changed their organization strategy and product direction.
This document describes OnTrac's Star Certification Program for operations team leaders. The program consists of three phases: Phase 1 involves a 24-hour instructor-led training program, Phase 2 is an 8-week implementation period where participants apply the training on the job, tracking their progress online. In Phase 3, participants present their results and learnings to operations leaders who evaluate their performance. The program aims to improve metrics like productivity, quality and attrition through standardized leadership training. Over 70,000 professionals across 100 companies have completed the certification.

In this talk, I try to provide a perspective on weather or not we have crossed the Chasm with Agile transformation. Based on a few surveys, I explore the current state of agile adoption across the industry and try to predict the kind of coaching/transformation needs that might come up in the near future.
Through this slides, I present 5 basic tools that a scrum master should follow, in order to make retrospectives really effective. These are things that I have discovered based on my experience, and would like to share with people
Edward de Bono came up with the idea of parallel thinking using the 6 thinking hats. These are the slides that I put together, based on my learning of the 6 Thinking hats, in order for people to have a quick reference point, to understand the idea of parallel thinking better
This document describes a Jenga game activity used to demonstrate the benefits of test-driven development. The activity involves building a 3-story Jenga tower with blocks, some of which contain defects. Participants undergo three iterations with different testing procedures: in the first, defects are found after building; in the second, defects are found every 10 blocks; in the third, defects are known for each individual block. The goal is to understand how rework effort decreases when testing occurs earlier in the development cycle rather than later.
The document discusses sprint planning in Scrum methodology. It explains that during sprint planning, the Scrum team decides what work can be completed during the sprint. They set two guideposts: the sprint backlog which is the work committed to and the sprint goal which is a short phrase stating what will be achieved. The newer approach to sprint planning involves two parts - part one where the team commits to the deliverables for the sprint and part two where the development team breaks down the work into tasks.
Scrum roles include the Product Owner, Scrum Master, and Development Team. The Product Owner is responsible for the product backlog and has a complete understanding of customer and stakeholder needs. The Scrum Master helps the team stay motivated and removes impediments so the team can perform at its peak. The cross-functional Development Team is self-managed and accountable for delivering working software each sprint.
The document discusses the importance of the retrospective meeting in Scrum. It notes that early versions of Scrum did not include retrospectives and that they are important for teams to inspect and adapt their processes. Retrospectives provide an opportunity for teams to reflect on what went well and what can be improved in the last sprint and develop an action plan to become more effective. They should be time-boxed, focus on constructive feedback rather than blame, and actively engage the whole team, Scrum Master, and Product Owner to drive process improvements.
Estimation in Agile projects can be tricky sometimes, especially for teams and organizations that are moving into Agile from non-Agile frameworks
I use these slides, along with a small activity to train teams on estimation in Agile

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
