- Agile practices originated from lean manufacturing and were adapted for software development, becoming known as Agile software development. Some practices like stand-up meetings, retrospectives, and work-in-progress limits have been adopted outside of software as well.
- Case studies show that elements of Agile have been successfully applied in various non-software domains like legal teams, education, marketing, and strategy development. However, not all Agile practices directly translate and new practices may need to be developed for different fields.
- While there are still relatively few case studies of Agile outside of software, the principles of Agile can work for other domains if adapted appropriately for the context. Organizations should consider which Agile practices

Making the Invisible Visible: Showing WIP & Flow at Portfolio Level in Waterf...AgileNZ Conference
Kanban's principles require us to limit WIP in order to increase flow. Yet, traditional reporting across a portfolio often takes a siloed approach, with individual projects providing individual updates against common metrics like time, cost and scope delivered. Portfolio and Program Managers, therefore, don't have a view of the WIP of the 'system' or its impact on flow.
About Suzanne Nottage:
Suzanne has worked with leaders and teams in Europe, Asia, the US and Australasia, particularly on leveraging Lean|Agile to improve delivery at portfolio level.
Her work has enabled teams to reduce WIP by 75% and failure demand by 40%, while increasing customer satisfaction (and team happiness).
Outside of work, Suzanne has also applied Agile in her triathlon training over the past eight years.

Designing High-Performance into our Organisations: What can ScrumMasters, man...Simon Roberts
These are the slides from my talk at the Optional Conference 2015 in Budapest, Hungary.
My talk was focussed on Radical Management’s principle number 2: a shift in the role of the manager from a controller to an enabler of self-organizing teams.
It includes:
- what is a high-performance team?
- the key factors for high-performance teams
- organisational design principles for high-performance teams
- what leaders should do to help create an environment in which every team can become a high-performance team
The talk is aimed at ScrumMasters, coaches and managers in organisations that have already or are considering adopting Agile.
Many organizations are based on a hierarchical bureaucracy with managers who practice command and control. This approach is incompatible with much twenty-first century work, which is knowledge based and best carried out in self-organized teams.
Building on Steve Denning's "Radical Management", this presentation provides guidance on what managers should do to best support the work of agile teams.
This draws on experiences from multiple large-scale Agile transitions in Germany and the United Kingdom in the telecommunications and finance sectors.
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.
As companies evolve to adopt, integrate and leverage software as the defining element of their success in the 21st century, a rash of processes and methodologies are vying for their product teams' attention. This Session will give you guidelines on how to start an innovative business lean and fast by using design thinking, lean and agile approaches and how to build high-performing digital product teams. The session will finish with discussing Lean Agile meets Design Thinking to give a meaningful conclusion.
Good agile / Bad agile: Proving the value of Agile to a skeptical organizationAlan Albert
Is Agile worth it?
What value can being Agile bring to your organization?
Done right, Agile software development methodologies can help your organization deliver greater value to customers and other stakeholders more efficiently and with reduced risk.
Done wrong, Agile methodologies become an endlessly iterating feature factory, facing an ever-growing backlog.
In this interactive session, attendees discussed:
- How to identify what’s most valuable to build next
- How to ensure that the features you build are not just functional, but used and valued
- How to measure and effectively communicate the value that you create
Led by Alan Albert of MarketFit, this session at Agile Vancouver explored theory, examples, and exercises showing how to unlock the power of discovering, creating, and communicating value.
Kanban was originally created as a scheduling system to help manufacturing organizations determine what to produce, when to produce it, and how much to produce. Although this may not sound like software development, these lean principles can be successfully applied to development teams to improve the delivery of value through better visibility and limits on work in process.
This webinar will provide an overview of the Kanban method, including the history and motivation, the core principles and practices, and how these apply to efficiency and process improvement in software development. We’ll also describe how Team Foundation Server can be used as a foundation for your work visualization and work flow management. Come join us for this free Webinar!

How to Jumpstart Enterprise Agile AdoptionTechWell
Want to get a jumpstart on agile adoption in your organization? Begin by leveraging a roadmap that Intuit has used for rolling out enterprise agile to its business units. While there is no single way to bring enterprise agile into your organization, Alan Padula describes a model that has worked repeatedly. The important first step is to create a vision of what full agile adoption looks like. Once a rich vision is created describing what people will be doing and how they will be doing it, create a roadmap, a time-sequenced plan with milestones. Each milestone has a description of everyone’s job responsibilities, the measurements to take along the way, the personal and business benefit, and the set of activities planned in order to achieve each succeeding milestone. Key transition activities include training, infrastructure, change leadership, planning, and governance. Join Alan for the jumpstart you need to successfully adopt agile in your organization.

Agile Competitors and Virtual
Organizations - Strategies for
Enriching the Customer
Goldman, Nagel & Preiss, 1995
8. I can’t think of anything more important than building
an agile company, because the world changes so
quickly and unpredictably
[Agility] comes in different forms, but
basically it’s the ability to quickly adapt to
or even anticipate and lead change.
Agility in the broadest form affects strategic
thinking, operations, technology innovation
and the ability to innovate in products,
processes and business models.
Michael A Cusumano
Distinguished Professor of Management at
the MIT Sloan School of Management

Retrospectives Lessons learned, Post mortem
US Marines “After Action Review”
WIP Limits Toyota Production System “Lean”
Pair programming Surgeons, Aircrew
14. Some Agile practices have been taken
back-ported to business
Test Driven Development
– Write the test before you write the code
– Don’t do more than you need
Is
– Lean Startup
– What do you want to learn?
– What is the minimum?
15. And some Agile tools may never be
used outside software
e.g. JUnit
16. Ask Not
“Will Agile work outside
software development?”
“Which Agile software
development practices can be
helpful in MY field?”
But Ask
Look inside the Agile Box…
… choose what’s right for

26. But
‘‘In the accumulation of over 20 years
of studies, [organizational learning
writers] have not developed a
comprehensive view on what
constitutes ‘organisational learning’.’’
Nonaka & Takeuchi 1995
“Learning organization” literature says little
about what to do
Agile is very specific
27. Case Studies
Bad news
• Case studies of Agile Software
Development are much easier to come by
than case studies of Agile outside of
software.
• You are unlikely to find one that matches
your environment.

40. Try this at home…
1. Use a board & cards
2. Create a work backlog
3. Prioritize the backlog
4. Hold morning stand-up meeting
5. Do iterations: weekly plan & review meetings
41. Try this at home…
Advice
• Cards: -> Stories -> Vertical slices worth £££
• Don’t bother with estimates (#NoEstimates)
• Get a Coach
42. Conclusion:
YES!
• Agile will work outside software development
But
• Not all practices are applicable
– And you may need to find some new ones
• Not many case studies at the moment
(And … it becomes increasingly difficult to
differentiate Agile from Lean)
43. Your choice
For many companies Agile working is an
innovation therefore Agile working is a risk
Remember: Profit is the return for risk
44. Your choice, either…
Adopt Agile today
• Take a risk
• Act with incomplete
knowledge
• Gain an advantage on
competitors
Wait
• Play it safe
• Wait for more case studies
• Let others take the risk (and
get the advantage)
• Take the risk of playing
catch up with competitors
45. Agile Outside
Software
We have the technology
(But we need some more
guinea pigs case studies)
