We are doing Agile well..We have been Agile now.. Is it just an assumption or do we have data to support it? Do metrics add any value or they are just a fad? Good metrics affirm & reinforce Agile principles. They open up the conversation and help the teams to improve. They are not only for management, it is for everyone who wants to inspect and adapt.
So this presentation is about how metrics can be used effectively in Agile to enable transparency and improve the overall efficiency at the team/ program and portfolio level.
XBOSoft runs through the Top 10 Agile Metrics revealing the most fundamental data points Agile methodology requires to work effectively, and will put you on the highly targeted path to successful implementation of your Agile processes.
XBOSoft and Go2Group run through the top data points you should be measuring in your Agile Workflow. We’ll show you what to track, when and how often, and most importantly – why. Many believe that metrics are useless, but unless you measure, how can you systematically improve or know how you are doing? And with velocity as an overarching objective in agile, you should be tracking other things so that you know what else you could be impacting by going faster. But, with all the metrics so readily available to us today, how do we filter through to the most meaningful?
In this presentation I describe what the role of a manager is in an agile organization. I give a checklist of 12 topics that managers should concern themselves with.
Note: About 90% of this presentation consists of slides from an earlier presentation (So Now You're an Agilist, What's Next?) But this one is more focused on management.

This is a presentation on "Lean & Agile Organizational Leadership: History, Theory, Models, & Popular Ideas," which are emerging models for managing high-risk, time-sensitive R&D-oriented new product development (NPD) projects with demanding customers and fast-changing market conditions (at the enterprise, portfolio, and program levels). It establishes the context, provide a definition, and describe the value-system for lean and agile methods, principles, and core ideas. It provides a brief history and comparative analysis of agile methods (i.e., Crystal Methods, Scrum, Dynamic Systems Development Method, Feature Driven Development, and Extreme Programming), project management models (i.e., Radical, Adaptive, Extreme, Agile, and Simplified Agile), and portfolio frameworks (i.e., Enterprise Scrum, Scaled Agile Framework, Large Scale Scrum, Disciplined Agile Delivery, and Recipes for Agile Governance). Then it provides multiple histories of the fields of organizational leadership, administration, and management over the last 100 years. It then introduces, delves into, describes, and provides a brief survey and comparative analysis of emerging theories, models, and methods of lean and agile leadership (i.e., Agile, Employee, Radical, Lean, and Leadership 3.0). Finally, it closes with an expose of the top organizational change paradigms most closely aligned with the field of lean and agile development, project management, and portfolio management methodologies (along with a unique summary of the major tenets, principles, and practices of lean & agile organizational leadership). This briefing has been warmly received by multiple U.S. government agencies, contractors, and university audiences throughout Baltimore-Washington, DC.

We all know how important is trust for any team to deliver results. The question is, how to build trust in practice? We all heard that agile teams should be self-managed. The question is, how to develop a team that is able to self-manage and achieve results? We all understood that cross-functionality is crucial for development teams to be able to deliver "done" functionalities and absorb variations in the demand. The question is, how to make it happen in real life when companies are still hiring specialists? Some of our Agile teams have Scrum masters. The questions are, do we really need a Scrum Master? What should we expect from a good one? Using real-life examples from companies that made Agile their competitive advantage and from companies that failed to get results from Agile. Angel is going to share practical tools that you can use as a manager, leader, scrum master or team member to make trust, self-management, cross-functionality, and high performance a reality in your team.

Actionable Agile Metrics for Predictability - Daniel VacantiAgile Montréal
Actionable Agile Metrics for Predictability
“When will it be done?” That's the first question customers ask once work is started. Your predictability is judged by the accuracy of your answer. Think about how many times you’ve been asked that question and how many times you’ve been wrong. That you’ve been wrong more times than right is not necessarily your fault. You have been taught to collect and analyze the wrong metrics. Until now.

Enterprise Agile Coaching - Professional Agile Coaching #3Cprime
“Agile coach” is a term that is thrown around pretty loosely these days. But what exactly is an agile coach? How do they differ from the more tactical roles, like ScrumMaster? And how do organizations find the agile coaches that are right for them?
In the final session of our “Professional Agile Coaching” series, we’ll examine how organizations can build an Enterprise Agile Coaching strategy. We’ll look at:
• When to use an external versus internal coach
• How to choose a coach with the abilities your team/organization needs
• The differences between team and enterprise agile coaching
• Creating a communication plan with your agile coach
• Developing an internal agile coaching organization
This session will help organizations make the best use of both internal and external coaches in order to ultimately build the deep internal skills and knowledge necessary for a successful agile transformation.
Agile is actually an approach and a Mindset, whereas most people misunderstand it as a set of practices. There are umpteen examples of people implementing the Agile practices and artefacts, but are failing to get the intended positive results. This is a classic problem of ‘doing Agile’ as opposed to aiming to ‘be Agile’. The key to getting the optimal benefits is having the Agile Mindset.
Mindset is abstract and hence one needs to understand it based on what is visible in behaviours, policies etc. The talk is about not only what these visible characteristics are, but also about what can be some of the enablers to move towards achieving the Agile Mindset. It has been proven that Leadership of an organization plays a key role in enabling the right Mindset, and hence this talk is meant for Leaders.

Background of measuring and metric usage is traditional waterfall projects, psychology of measuring, agile response to traditional metrics, and suggested agile metrics.
Research has shown that a simple idea, the mindset, could affect the way we lead our lives. But not only affect us as individuals but could also affect our organisation's "agility". being aware of the two types of mindsets, fixed and growth or as Linda Rising like to name agile mindset, is the first step towards changing your mindset and your organisation's one! this material has been used to facilitate a learning lab that organised by Ericsson's High Performing Team Environment network of coaches.

Rapid scale directly impacts all levels of decision-making, planning, execution, culture, and communications for executives in hypergrowth companies. In this session, we will discuss how to organize, support, and tailor agile practices for teams and sub-teams in companies with a rapid growth cycle. We will share contemporary case studies of hypergrowth companies who have delivered agile at scale.
Topics will include:
• Basic agile and lean methods
• Scrum of Scrums
• SAFe
• Disciplined Agile Delivery (DAD)
• Agility at Scale (Ambler/Lines)
• Spotify model (Tribes, Squads, Chapters & Guilds, DSDM).
As scrum masters, agile coaches and facilitators we spend a lot of time and energy to come up with new and ever-changing retrospective formats. Our goals are noble- we want to get people engaged, build trust within the team, change the perspective, reframe the conversation, and keep everyone coming back for more. What we are really trying to achieve in varied retrospective formats isn’t more data, its better data. Learn the five types of retrospective data your team needs for targeted improvements that guarantee more than a bi-weekly "airing of grievances." We will focus on how to solicit all five types of data while gathering feedback continuously so you can maximize your retrospective conversations on improving and not remembering.

Getting Started with Agile: A Guide to Building High Performing TeamsAgileThought
Agile has exploded in the last decade. Started in the software industry, Agile has now gone mainstream and is being adopted by a wide range of organizations. This rapid growth can be attributed to its core principles of delivering customer value quickly, while seamlessly dealing with change.
Due to this growth, there is a ton of online information about how best to become Agile. Many training courses focus on adopting an "Agile Mindset" or learning a prescribed framework like Scrum. Blog articles discuss specific Agile practices, like the daily standup meeting, while webinars promise increased ROIs and customer satisfaction. For newcomers, this information can be overwhelming, especially for those assessing if Agile is even applicable to them.
What is lacking is a clear guide on how to get started. This talk will explain why every Agile journey must begin with the formation of independent, cross-functional teams that do not require assistance from outside resources to deliver value. We will focus on how to create high performing Agile teams by instilling a culture of accountability and transparency. Finally, we will review the critical Agile practices to which every team must adhere with commitment and discipline.
Bad metrics and how to spot them - Music City Agile 2018Charles Husemann
One of the key features of agile is transparency which is usually done via large visible charts of team metrics in and around the team space. As agile is adopted by large organizations there is usually an effort to standardize metrics and develop organization specific metrics.
However these new metrics can drive the wrong behavior or measure the wrong thing. This session identifies common agile metrics and demonstrates how they should and shouldn’t be used. It will also cover how to “coach-up” to ensure that metrics are consumed correctly by upper management. Finally we will also discuss how to identify bad metrics with a few common sense questions.
