The document discusses various agile metrics that can be used to improve quality, shorten product cycle times, decrease costs and risks, and increase predictability. It describes metrics like defects trends, test automation coverage, flow diagrams to measure lead and cycle times, earned value analysis to track costs and wastage. Control limits and variances can be set for work in progress, defects, team size and velocity. The focus should be on analyzing trends rather than individual values to identify special causes of variation and lead indicators.
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?

This presentation we used in our webinar on Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) .
We first look at what scaling is about and how Safe helps in scaling agile projects.
Agile metrics: Measure and Improve:

Backlog refinement is not a Scrum event, but instead is an ongoing activity during the Sprint required to decompose, describe, estimate, and order backlog items in the Product Backlog.
This material is divided into two sections. The first section reviews the basics of backlog refinement, covering various options for conducting the activity. The second section covers tips for maintaining a healthy backlog and potential anti-patterns.
This material was presented at Agile New England in July and August 2022 as "101" introduction and "202" advanced sessions.

Rick Austin - Portfolio mangement in an agile world [Agile DC]LeadingAgile
When organizations move to agile for software delivery, there is often tension with traditional portfolio management. This talk will illustrate how an organization can move from traditional portfolio management approaches to one that embraces agile software delivery. Doing so enables organizations to become predictable, improve the flow of value delivered, and pivot more quickly if necessary.
We will demonstrate the use of governance that allows a more adaptive portfolio management approach. We will cover topics that enable agile portfolio management including:
Lean techniques for managing flow
Effective prioritization techniques
Long range road-mapping
Demand management and planning
Progressively elaborated business cases
Validation of outcomes
Support for audit and compliance needs
These topics will be illustrated by real-world examples of portfolio management that have been proven over the last five years with a wide range of clients.
Agile Transformation is a Journey, a continuous Learning Process. As part of Transformation capability Improvement, Cultural change should happen naturally by the change in habit and behavior of the people and help customer achieve their Business Goals.

4DX - Die 4 Disziplinen der Umsetzung: Strategien sicher umsetzen und Ziele e...die.agilen GmbH
Die beste Planung und Strategie ist hinfällig, wenn es an der Umsetzung mangelt. Viel zu oft versanden Vorhaben, haben größere und langfristige Projekte im Alltag nahezu immer das Nachsehen. Manche Unternehmen schaffen es jedoch, kontinuierlich Strategie mit Alltagsgeschäft erfolgreich zu verbinden. Doch was ist deren Geheimnis?
Der Vortrag stellt das weltweit bewährte Konzept von FranklinCovey vor, mit dem sich Unternehmen voll und ganz auf ein strategisches Ziel einschwören lassen: die vier Disziplinen der effektiven Umsetzung, kurz 4DX. Mit diesen können Führungskräfte mit ihren Teams über sich hinauswachsen und Ergebnisse erzielen, die in keinem Unternehmensplan vorgesehen waren. 4DX ist dabei keine Theorie, sondern ein weltweit angewandtes praktisches Konzept, das eine völlig neue Art des Denkens und Arbeitens etabliert.

This OKR playbook is the result of several years of OKR coaching. We offer this support to define, structure and communicate your OKR program within your organization. It helps you think through all aspects of setting up OKRs before deployment.
We use it in our coaching as a support to define the OKR program with executives; as well as a communication support for the launch of the OKR program with the teams; finally as a reference manual for the whole organization.
Fruit de plusieurs années de coaching OKR, nous vous proposons ce support pour définir, structurer et communiquer votre programme OKR au sein de votre organisation. Il vous aide à penser à tous les aspects de la mise en place des OKRs avant le déploiement.

This presentation provides a clear path for your agile project by using a handful of simple steps. Don’t expect an ambiguous restatement of the Agile Manifesto. You will learn specific steps that will challenge your team and delight your customers.
Introduction of Kanban for large scale maintenance at mobile.international Gm...Markus Andrezak
Presentation on the introduction of Kanban as the Maintenance process for the mobile.international GmbH products.
Key messages:
Good, flexible agile process for maintenance. Suitable also for teams not that experienced in agile, as it picks up the teams where they are and leads to continous improvement and maturity.
Great reduction of cycle and lead time in short time frame after introduction.

Learn how agile and test automation interact in the real world
To be presented at Aqua SW Test Automation Open Day at Hi-tech College (http://www.aquasw.com/services_training.php#an2)
Why and How to Run Your Own Gitlab Runners as Your Company GrowsNGINX, Inc.
In this session, Casey Zednick, Senior Software Engineer for NGINX, tells you everything you need to know about GitLab Runner, an app for running jobs in your CI/CD pipeline. Using your own runners gives you full control to meet your service level objectives (SLOs), increase security, and save money at scale. It's notoriously difficult to forecast costs for dynamic cloud services like an autoscaling fleet of runners, but Casey demos a tool from the NGINX tools team that calculates your costs based on a handful of numbers. He also shows how to clone our GitLab repos to set up a production-grade fleet in Azure and monitor its performance.

2. Metrics -> Improvements
Use metrics to
• Improve quality
• Shorten product cycle time
• Decrease costs
• Decrease risks
• Increase predictability and reliability
3. Control Limits and Variances
We can have limits for
• WIP
• Defects
• Team size
• Velocity
• Time-boxes
• Others?
We can analyze variances to understand
the special causes of variation
4. Focus on Trends
• Trends matter more than values
• Trends and spikes are only the symptoms
• Trends are leading indicators
Images from MountainGoat Software
5. Improve quality
◦ Quality is measured by passed tests and
customer acceptance
◦ Quality is defined by Definition of Done
and Acceptance Criteria
◦ Defect trends to use in Agile projects
Number of open defects
Escaped defects
Defect Cycle Time
Defect spill-over
◦ Test Automation is critical!
6. Defect Injection and
Resolution
What is the trend of total Active Defects?

8. Escaped Defects

• Average bug-fix time can also be tracked for

10. Defect Spill-over
• Resolution of defects for a sprint story within the sprint is
important
• Definition of Done can include a criteria like “No P1 defects”
• We can also tracked whether spilled-over defects are being
closed in the next sprint

Completion
ETC - Estimate to
CompletionCost Variance (CV) = EV – AC
VAC- Variance @ Completion (SV)
Schedule Variance = EV – PV
Cost Performance Index (CPI) = EV / AC
Schedule Performance Index (SPI) = EV / PV
Estimate at Completion (EAC) = BAC / CPI or
= AC + BAC – EV
Estimate To Complete (ETC) = EAC – AC
Variance at Completion (VAC) = BAC – EAC

• Productivity e.g. Story Points per day
• Effort Estimation accuracy
• Number of stories completed
• LOC/Function Points
• Code quality
