Goodbye scope anxiety hello agility: Kanban implementation case study at amdocsYaki Koren
The main problem we were asked to help solve was scope instability: for years, the organization had been fighting to receive the entire scope upfront and, as time passed, this became less and less possible. Our customers’ (Telecommunication Service Providers) business required better responsiveness and flexibility. In the session we will describe our approach for the implementation: evolution. How we helped the managers to evolve and in parallel evolved our coaching practices. The session will show many examples of successful attempts at evolving and also of failures (which provide great opportunities for learning). The session should be a good kick-starter for lean agile implementation.
Waterfall to Agile: A Case Study Presented at Agile India 2014Allen Rutzen
Waterfall to Agile
The company transitioned from a traditional waterfall process with long development cycles to an Agile approach over 22 months. Initial pilots of Agile were successful. A full rollout began with training, forming Agile teams around business units, and creating dedicated spaces for teams. Benefits included improved speed to market, fewer bugs, and happier customers and employees. While progress has been made, the company views it as a continual journey to further improve practices and engineering maturity.

Amdocs Case Study: Massive Kanban Implementation (LKNA14)Yaki Koren
Prepared and presented by Keren Yahalom and Yaki Koren at LKNA14
The goals set before us a year and half ago were to stop saying “no” to customers for late or changed scope, while helping them achieve time to value. We have gone through a successful revolutionary change of the way we manage our projects a few years earlier (CCPM), and we felt that the organization cannot handle another revolution. Still, Our customers’ (Telecommunication Service Providers) business required better responsiveness and flexibility, reduce risks and a much faster time to market. Our hundreds to thousands person months complex mission critical projects span up to 70 groups of experts handling products that are tightly integrated over a timeline of a few months, and we had to maintain, if not improve, our quality, while reaching a sustainable development process. The challenge was huge.
In this session we will describe how we pulled it off again, in a completely different implementation approach – evolutionary, pull based. We implemented in different types of projects (huge business transformations, on going releases with existing customers), different scales (from 10 to 150 Person Years projects), different personas (the leaders, the laggers) and in a different manner (adapting the implementation to the specifics of our internal customers).
We will describe what it takes to make it work, and what obstacles we faced. we will share actual boards and reports helping the audience experience the scale, the challenge, the journey.
We will also share the story of the implementation in our first project – a mega project servicing a giant North American telecommunication service provider

Scrum_Blr 11th meet up 13 dec-2014 - Introduction to SAFe - Nagesh_SharmaScrum Bangalore
The document provides an introduction to the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) for applying agile practices at an enterprise scale. It discusses challenges organizations face with scaling agile and how SAFe addresses these challenges through its three layers (Portfolio, Program, Team). SAFe draws from Scrum, Extreme Programming, Kanban, lean principles and flows to provide transparency, alignment and program execution capabilities. It emphasizes continuous delivery through Agile Release Trains, empowered self-organizing teams, and roles like the Product Owner and Release Train Engineer. An example case study shows how a financial services company rapidly adopted SAFe to deliver more value faster by aligning their portfolio and programs.
Understanding the Relationship Between Agile, Lean and DevOps LeanKit
In this webinar, Troy DeMoulin discusses the relationships between Lean, Agile, and DevOps. Then, he offers an easy-to-understand blueprint for how these different pieces fit together within the larger puzzle.
The document discusses agile frameworks like Scrum and scaled agile frameworks. It defines Scrum and its components like sprints, artifacts, roles. It notes that Scrum is difficult to master. It discusses how agile scales to multiple teams through roles like the Program/Release Train Engineer who coordinate flow across teams.
Foundations of the Scaled Agile Framework® (SAFe® ) 4.5netmind
El Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) es una base de conocimientos para adoptar métodos de trabajo ágiles en grandes organizaciones. SAFe presenta de forma gráfica un modelo de gestión para escalar la aplicación de las prácticas ágiles de un equipo a la gestión de programas, y de la gestión de programas al conjunto de la organización.
Este modelo para la adopción y transformación ágil de las organizaciones fué diseñado por Dean Leffingwell, a partir de sus libros “Agile Software Requeriments: Lean Requeriments for Teams Programs and the Enterprise” y “Scaling Software Agility: Best Practices for Large Enterprise”, y se ha implementado con éxito en grandes organizaciones de todo el mundo. 60 de las 100 compañías más grandes de Estados Unidos están utilizando SAFe como guía de referencia para la adopción de Agile.
El modelo de gestión propuesto por SAFe cubre el conjunto de la organización, desde los equipos, hasta los niveles de mayor responsabilidad. El modelo estructura en tres niveles: Equipo, Programa y Portfolio, aunque en la última versión, SAFe 4.0, introduce un 4º nivel opcional para soluciones de extremadamente grandes y complejas. Para cada uno de estos niveles SAFe define los roles, estructuras, actividades, artefactos, prácticas y técnicas adecuadas.
Dealing with Shifting Priorities using Lean/Kanban Flow, WIP Limits and Capac...AgileSparks
Many teams suffer from due to conflicting priorities. When today's priority one usurps yesterday's priority one, expensive context switching becomes a problem.
Operations teams are especially hard hit by shifting priorities because of increased variability from supporting ongoing development of new projects while maintaining features & apps in production. Add in unplanned work and security issues and we have a battle between getting new features delivered or keeping production stable. Hence the dilemma DevOps is working to solve.
Dominica will talk about how Dev and Ops teams can use use a Lean flow Kanban approach to limit work-in-progress and allocate capacity for the nature of the demand as a way to address and improve prioritization issues and context switching.
Methodologies, frameworks, and processes Part 2Portolearn
Scrum is a popular lightweight agile framework that is easy to understand. It is documented in the Scrum Guide and based on principles of transparency, inspection, and adaptation. The Scrum team consists of a Product Owner, Scrum Master, and team of 5-9 members. The Product Owner is responsible for goals and priorities while the Scrum Master removes impediments. The team self-organizes during sprints which include planning, daily stand-ups, review and retrospective meetings. Key activities focus on backlog refinement, sprint planning, daily scrums and sprint reviews and retrospectives.

This document discusses scaling agile across large organizations. It introduces agile mindset, values, principles and practices. It also covers several frameworks for scaling agile such as Large Scale Scrum (LeSS), Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe), and Disciplined Agile Delivery (DAD). Adopting agile requires changes to organizational culture and giving autonomy and mastery to self-organizing teams. Scaling agile is not just about processes but transforming the mindset and empowering people.
This document discusses how a company using a waterfall process can implement agile practices to achieve faster delivery times, happier customers through increased satisfaction, and easier recruitment. It recommends starting with establishing agile product teams, prioritizing work, and validating hypotheses through lean startup methods. Technical teams should focus on high-performance work, knowledge sharing, automation, and adopting DevOps culture. The transition will require changes to structure, language, and culture but can be facilitated through frameworks like SAFe and LeSS. Regular measurement and learning is key to the success of the transformation.
Implementing Agile is not as simple as introducing and applying a methodology. Agile also requires a comprehensive culture change and mindset shift—a process that grows in difficulty with an organization’s size and scope.
In keeping with Agile’s inherent “get it done” philosophy, organizations should consider some key steps to get their own Agile initiative moving.
Scrum_BLR 10th meet up 13 sept-2014 - Challenges of Transformation to Agile -...Scrum Bangalore
This document discusses the challenges of transitioning to an agile methodology for a team and project manager. It outlines some key challenges including changes to team structure and processes, a shift from defined to empirical models, and ensuring collaboration both within and outside the team. The roles of the project manager also change from directing tasks to focusing on leadership, coaching, and removing obstacles for the self-organizing team. Measuring the success of the transformation is also discussed.
Agile is simple to understand but difficult to implement and hard to master.
This is because many organisations start implementing Agile in a cultural context that is mostly non-Agile.
This creates a significant number of tensions and frictions that the teams adopting Agile have to deal with although they are often not fully aware of them. Darren will discuss the why, the what and the how.
Dev up 2016 Demystifying the scaled agile frameworkAngela Dugan
Just when companies seems to be warming up to agile, here comes SCALED agile. But how is SAFe really different than agile? Does using the SAFe framework undermine the scrum teams? Isn’t SAFe just a glorified version of waterfall that companies adopt when they can’t handle “real” agile? I decided the best solution was to go through the training and spend some time practicing it in the field. What I found was that SAFe leverages the best of Lean, Kanban, and scrum. SAFe is intended for large, enterprise customers delivering extremely complex and interdependent systems, but that doesn’t mean it offers nothing to smaller teams. Since becoming a Safe program consultant, I have coached a number of my smaller customers on improving their software development and delivery processes leveraging techniques from SAFe. In this interactive session, I plan to quickly walk through the tenets of SAFe, share some of my learnings with you, and help you to understand when and how SAFe can benefit your team!

An analytical approach to effective risk based test planning Joe Kevens
Regression is not easily understood, as it seemingly manifests from nowhere. But if you can identify methods to help spot quality failure ‘trends’, you stand a better chance of understanding the root causes. This presentation serves to highlight a number of risk identification and planning techniques that you could add to your arsenal! Presented at TestExpo in London, UK, on 31 Oct 2017.
Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) is a systematic tool used to identify potential failures, their causes, and effects. It helps prioritize issues based on a Risk Priority Number calculated from severity, occurrence, and detection ratings. FMEA was first used in the aerospace industry and has since been applied to automotive and other sectors. The analysis involves identifying failure modes, causes, and effects, then taking actions to reduce risks.
This document discusses common problems that can arise with root cause analysis (RCA) processes and provides tips to overcome them. It begins by introducing common pain points such as solutions not getting implemented, resistance to change, and lack of a defined RCA process. Each pain point is then explored in more detail with explanations of how they can negatively impact an RCA program. The document concludes by providing practical tips and recommendations for establishing an effective RCA process that addresses each of the pain points.
Kepner Tregoe is an international consulting firm founded in 1958 that provides services in problem solving, decision making, risk management, and project management. They focus on configuring their proprietary processes into models that deliver tangible results, especially for manufacturing clients. Their Hi Performance Manufacturing approach aims to achieve manufacturing perfection through a focus on safety, quality, reliability, on-time delivery, and cost reduction. Kepner Tregoe recommends using data-driven analysis to identify improvement projects and a systematic implementation process using full-time resources and disciplined project management to ensure sustainability of results.
This document provides an overview and introduction to Six Sigma. It discusses what Six Sigma is, its origins at Motorola and growth at GE, the DMAIC methodology, roles in a Six Sigma organization like Green Belt and Black Belt, and how Six Sigma can be a career path. Key points covered include that Six Sigma is a data-driven methodology to improve processes and reduce defects, its goal is to operate with as little variation as possible at 6 sigma quality levels, and it uses teams and a structured approach like DMAIC to drive process improvement.
This document provides an introduction to Six Sigma, including:
1) It describes Six Sigma as a data-driven methodology used for process improvement and achieving high quality standards.
2) It explains key Six Sigma concepts like the DMAIC model, sigma levels, variation, the normal distribution, and the Pareto principle.
3) It discusses how to create a Pareto chart in Excel to identify the most impactful causes of problems based on frequency of occurrence. Creating lower level charts can help identify root causes.
- Motorola developed the concept of Six Sigma in 1987 to improve quality standards and reduce defects.
- Six Sigma aims to reduce defects to 3.4 defects per million opportunities by focusing on statistical process control and reducing variation. It was later adopted by other companies like GE.
- The key purpose of Six Sigma is to make customers happier by meeting their requirements and reducing defects, while also increasing company profits through cost savings from quality improvements.
This document provides an overview of Six Sigma, including:
- What Six Sigma is and how it originated at Motorola and GE
- The DMAIC methodology for process improvement and DMADOV for creating new processes
- How Six Sigma aims to reduce defects through statistical analysis and achieving 6 sigma capability
- Key roles in a Six Sigma organization such as Black Belts, Green Belts, and Master Black Belts
This document provides guidance on conducting a Design Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (DFMEA). It begins with defining the purpose of a FMEA and what it involves. It then discusses current DFMEA practices and concerns. The remainder of the document offers detailed instructions on performing a DFMEA, including how to construct a process flow diagram, interface matrix, evaluate potential failure modes and their effects/severity, occurrence, detection, and risk priority numbers. It provides examples and criteria for properly analyzing risk and prioritizing corrective actions. The overall summary is that the document aims to refine the approach to DFMEAs by outlining the full process and key considerations for effectively conducting a thorough design risk assessment.
Six Sigma is a process improvement methodology that aims for near perfect product quality by identifying and removing defects and variation in manufacturing and business processes. It seeks to reduce errors to 3.4 per million opportunities through a data-driven approach including defining, measuring, analyzing, improving, and controlling processes. The Six Sigma approach involves identifying critical customer requirements, measuring current process performance, analyzing causes of defects, improving the process by addressing risks and customer needs, and ensuring continuous monitoring. Benefits include improved understanding of processes, better measurement systems, defined customer success metrics, cost-effective solutions, support for changes, and promotion of successful outcomes.
Manage a Complex Test Effort with Lean and KanbanTechWell
“How absurd! She swallowed a bird. She swallowed the bird to catch the spider. She swallowed the spider to catch the fly. I don't know why she swallowed the fly. Perhaps she'll die.” The silly nursery rhyme teaches a serious lesson. Because software products are complex, we seek to manage them by spinning a complex web of processes and tools. Thankfully, not all complex problems demand complex solutions. Join Mike Duskis as he demonstrates how his test team employed kanban practices to manage the test work of a multi-national, multi-project department with a system of index cards on the wall. With the kanban system in place and lean practices driving decisions, the team simplified the prioritization process, improved test visibility, which led to better testing choices. Lean-kanban produced strong results at Mike's shop and could do the same for yours. Join Mike to learn how you can clarify and communicate your test effort—without swallowing any spiders.

It introduces the presenter, Eric Torkia, and his background in risk analysis, project feasibility, financial modeling, and organizational change management. It then discusses how Monte Carlo simulation can help quantify risk and uncertainty in estimates to improve decision making for projects and investments by providing a full range of potential outcomes and probabilities. The document provides examples of how simulation can analyze risk in areas like project cost estimating, capital budgeting decisions, and portfolio planning.
A process for identifying the underlying cause of a problem (including actual or possible occurrence of the problem ) , and then planning , testing , implementing , learning from and revising solution
Customer Focus (Internal/external)
Decision based on Facts and Data
Open and honest communication ,& learn from experience
All team member should have the same goal
Focus on Process , not on individuals
Set Rules /Goals
-- Examine pieces , find patterns , and try to fit them together
-- Continuous observation and assessment – look for gaps
-- Trail and Error , try something different keeping Customer into center of focus ( Internal /External )
-- Evaluate results and Process
-- Standardize success , learn from Experience
Define problem with facts and data
Data collection and Analysis – Check sheet ,Parteo Chart ,Flow Chart etc.
--- 5 Why Technique
--- Fish Bone Diagram
Test the best solution & Implement
Evaluate results & Process
Share results – Meeting /Discussion .
While there is NO set template – as per the process /customer requirement template gets modified , however any template needs to cover in the template
Supporting data – all required data needs covered as part of the Template e.g. Incident ID , AHT , # of time repeat interaction , demographic details
L1 bucket for the RCA – Agent , Process , Policy , Technology and only in exceptional cases Customer
Standard L2 reason – e.g. Under agent – Accuracy of Resolution , Complete Resolution , Communication & Tagging related opportunity
Similarly for Process /Technology process specific standard reason to be added e.g. – Delay in pickup , CRM downtime
Standard L3 Reason – L3 reason needs to be standardize , it can hand happened through trial and error concept – reasons can get added and removed basis the experience
L4 and L5 reason can free text ( not the rule ) . For some process standardize L4 reason can be made available
Note :- While doing the RCA , on one incident multiple opportunity can be there – e.g. Agent error cause the DSAT , however trigger point is the Process and Technology failure or vice a versa.
Thumb Rule :- In such situation all the reason needs to be captured , however P0 will be People Error , P1 Process error , P2 Policy/Technology failure –Thumb rule is applicable to 90% of the RCA opportunity , in exceptional cases Process gets P0 priority
EFFECT is “WHAT?” Happens
CAUSE is “WHY?” it Happens
EFFECT = RESULT OR OUTCOME
CAUSE = REASON(S) OR FACTOR(S) CONTRIBUTING TO THE EFFECT
5 WHY’s is the additional process aligned
Easy to Work – High Impact on project Y
Difficult to work -- High Impact on project Y
Easy to work -- Low Impact on project Y
PDCA
What is the process that is being controlled?
What measures (numbers) are we monitoring?
For each measure, what are the “trigger point” values where action should be taken?
What action should be taken when a “trigger point” is reached? Who is responsible for taking action?
Meeting/Discussion
The document discusses the components of DMAIC, the methodology used in Six Sigma improvement projects. It begins by outlining some key requirements for Six Sigma projects, including leadership commitment, using facts to make decisions, and cross-functional team training. It then describes each stage of DMAIC - Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control - and lists some potential tools and activities used in each stage. The document concludes by listing several statistical tools that can be used throughout the Six Sigma improvement process.
For years, we've performed root cause analysis with whiteboards, Post-Its & spreadsheets using The 5 Whys, Ishikawa diagrams, FMEA, and DMAIC methodologies. Now, newer technologies have made the RCA discovery process faster and more precise, and support a direct link to CAPAs.
Six Sigma is a statistical methodology for improving business processes. It aims to reduce defects and variation in manufacturing and business processes. The goal of Six Sigma is to reduce defects to 3.4 defects per million opportunities. This can be measured using a metric called sigma, with 6 sigma representing a process operating with almost no defects. Key aspects of Six Sigma include defining critical customer requirements, using data and statistical analysis to determine sources of defects, implementing solutions to processes, and measuring their effectiveness.

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

2. Its your Project, its your Choice….
But here are few points which can help to decide about project framework
Traditional Project Management - TPM (Waterfall)
o Suitable for the projects which are notoriously hard to control
o More suitable for exploration style projects
o It works where you don’t have double back, means very
simple and clean projects like building a house
o Good if a big group of stakeholders is involved as it would be
difficult to manage in Agile style of work
o Waterfall works well for important software projects where
specs would not change like NASA space craft or Air Control
System
3. Its your Project, its your Choice….
But here are few points which can help to decide about project framework
Agile Project Management - APM
o More suitable for Operational or Production Projects
o Methods are good in projects where requirements are unclear
or evolving as in such situations Traditional methods do not
work
4. Rather than using “Selectors”, use “Indicators”
…. to decide TPM or APM
o Scope; Dynamic
o Experimental
or Fixed
(TPM)
or Delivery
(TPM)
(APM)
(APM)
o Delivery; Incremental
(APM)
o Culture; Involved
or Passive
(APM)
or Big Bang
(TPM)
(TPM)
o Team; Stable & Collocated
(APM)
o Management; Trusting
or Controlling
(APM)
or Fluctuating & Virtual
(TPM)
(TPM)
5. Rather than using “Selectors”, use “Indicators”
…. to decide TPM or APM
o Customer; Chaotic
o Size; Small
(APM)
(APM)
or Orderly
or Huge
(TPM)
(TPM)
o Regulatory; Unregulated
(APM)
or Regulated
o Criticality; Discretionary
(APM)
or Loss of Life
(TPM)
(TPM)
6. Rather than using “Selectors”, use “Indicators”
…. to decide TPM or APM
o TPM more focus on “Processes”, APM focuses on “Approaches
and Attitudes”
o TPM has a well-defined set of milestones, APM emphasizes
Test-Driven Development to reduce mistakes
o Waterfall approach idealistic but much more Risky
o TPM is classical music and APM is Jazz
7. Rather than using “Selectors”, use “Indicators”
…. to decide TPM or APM
Both methods are viable for
“How the work get done ”
o So neither Agile nor Traditional is better than each other,
each has its own place and for many projects, a hybrid of the
two is more better than either of them.
