Agile IT Operatinos - Getting to Daily ReleasesLeadingAgile
Getting to Daily Releases with Agile IT Operations. Devin Hedge, Enterprise Transformation Consultant talks to a group at Triagile about the Six Key Areas to focus on when attempting to transform IT Operations with Lean and Agile principles. The talk covers Service Engineering, IT Operations, and the Tier 1 Support/NOC organizations. Kanban, Service Management (ITSM), and what it means to have a DevOps orientation.
Leading a large-scale agile transformation isn’t about adopting a new set of attitudes, processes, and behaviors at the team level… it’s about helping your company deliver faster to market, and developing the ability to respond to a rapidly-changing competitive landscape. First and foremost, it’s about achieving business agility. Business agility comes from people having clarity of purpose, a willingness to be held accountable, and the ability to achieve measurable outcomes. Unfortunately, almost everything in modern organizations gets in the way of teams acting with any sort of autonomy. In most companies, achieving business agility requires significant organizational change. Join @Mike Cottmeyer live from #Agile2017 during this workshop.
The Product Backlog Refinement refers to activities that help us keeping the product backlog in optimal form. This overview presents all important aspects of this important analysis activity in SCRUM.

Portfolio Management in an Agile World - Rick AustinLeadingAgile
When organizations move to agile for software delivery, there is often tension with traditional portfolio management. Rick Austin illustrates 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.
This slide deck shares my thoughts on the product owner role. It discusses what it means to own a product, and how the product owner role can be scaled.
Exploring Agile Transformation and Scaling PatternsMike Cottmeyer
The goal of any enterprise agile adoption strategy is NOT to adopt agile. Companies adopt agile to achieve better business outcomes. Large organizations have no time for dogma and one-size-fits-all thinking when it comes to introducing agile practices. These companies need pragmatic guidance for safely and incrementally introducing structure, principles, and ultimately practices that will result in greater long term, sustainable business results. This talk will introduce a framework for safely, pragmatically, and incrementally introducing agile to help you achieve your business goals.

As an Agile coach I must understand in which level my team is in order to help my team to perform in more efficient way. If the team is in the “Shu” phase, the members are quite immature in agile, they just follow rules. If they are more mature, in the “Ha” phase, where they understand the ideas behind. The last stage is the “Ri” phase where people are so mature that they can create their own rules. I will present some behaviors that help Agile teams to see their mature level.

How to scale agility in your enterpriseTimothy Wise
Presentation for Southern Fried Agile conference 10/23/2014 that outlines how to scale agility in an enterprise.
The conference is a one day'er in Raleigh NC.
Great Crowd :)
While traditional performance metrics often measure individual output or adherence to pre-defined plans, measuring performance in agile teams requires a different approach. Agile teams operate in iterative cycles, prioritizing adaptability and learning over rigid goals. So, why do organizations still measure their performance?
By using the right metrics in the right way, organizations can empower their agile teams to thrive and deliver exceptional results.
Scaling Frame Works are great guideline for Scaling Agile but teams and companies who are working Scrum and/or Kanban for sometime now can scale Agile Implementation following certain disciplines and structural approached and . This talk is to discuss one such implementation.

First check out the abbreviated version in this deck, then download the real thing here: https://hubs.ly/H0nhQHl0
Markets are changing faster than typical strategic planning cycles can support. Additionally, digital strategies are increasing interdependencies and exacerbating the strain on execution. Strategic planning often falls short because it’s not as fluid as it needs to be.
One thing we must consider is that there are—typically— a lot of assumptions being made about markets as well as the organization’s capacity to execute. Those assumptions often miss the mark when attempting to meet the ever-changing needs and expectations of shareholders and customers. Agile provides the opportunity to create the requisite adaptability to validate and adapt to as we understand our ability to deliver and the realizable value of our strategies.
This talk is targeted at senior managers seeking to understand how to leverage Agile to improve Strategic Execution. This talk will show how to build market sensing into strategic planning, how to design the execution model to provide valuable feedback, and how to prioritize learning to maximize return. The model has been developing over the years and has successfully responded to the assumptions and ambiguity facing firms. The reality is that it’s not that simple, but we have a model that can help.
Learning Outcomes:
• Understand how agile can enable strategy execution in rapidly evolving markets
• Quantify opportunities to accelerate learning to maximize business return
• Determine when and how to prioritize for learning over earning
Product-Driven Organizations: The Evolution of AgileLeadingAgile
Agile has been great. Revolutionary, even. Organizations are producing software faster, creating more cross-functional and collaborative teams than ever before. However, a lot of Agilists are experiencing diminishing returns on their investment to go Agile. Why is that?
The reality is that you've likely tapped the potential of your Agile practices and you've reaped all the benefits of the Agile culture that you've instilled already. The good news is that your journey doesn't have to end here.
The next evolution of Agile is to restructure the business, create a product-driven organization, and build a system of delivery that's conducive to getting more mileage out of your investment in Agile.
System of Delivery: An Intro to Our Governance ModelLeadingAgile
Our governance model and team design may look a little complicated at first glance. However, there's a lot of intentionality within our system of delivery to ensure that you're solving the right problems, at the right time, to maximize throughput and the value delivered to your customers.
In this video, our Chief Methodologist, Dennis Stevens will remove the noise and walk you through our governance model and team design to help you better understand the LeadingAgile system of delivery.

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.
Faster Food and a Better Place to Sleep: Exploring Agile in Non-IT DomainsLeadingAgile
Agile methods aren’t just for software anymore. Actually, they haven’t been just for software for quite a while now. That said, the types of companies, and the types of industries, that are exploring team-based, collaborative, iterative, and incremental approaches to do their work is rather breathtaking. Agile is truly going mainstream. The question at hand is can we apply team-based Agile straight out of the box in a non-software context? Can we take our scaled Agile approaches and apply them without modification? Mike Cottmeyer’s experience is that most of the principles and patterns apply, but sometimes the practices and frameworks need modification for a particular context.
Leading a large-scale agile transformation isn’t about adopting a new set of attitudes, processes, and behaviors at the team level… it’s about helping your company deliver faster to market, and developing the ability to respond to a rapidly changing competitive landscape. First and foremost, it’s about achieving business agility. Business agility comes from people having clarity of purpose, a willingness to be held accountable, and the ability to achieve measurable outcomes. Unfortunately, almost everything in modern organizations gets in the way of teams acting with any sort of autonomy. In most companies, achieving business agility requires significant organizational change.
Agile transformation necessitates a fundamental rethinking of how your company organizes for delivery, how it delivers value to its customers, and how it plans and measures outcomes. Agile transformation is about building enabling structures, aligning the flow of work, and measuring for outcomes-based progress. It’s about breaking dependencies. The reality is that this kind of change can only be led from the top. This talk will explore how executives can define an idealized end-state for the transformation, build a fiscally responsible iterative and incremental plan to realize that end-state, as well as techniques for tracking progress and managing change.
Information Radiators and Information VaultsLeadingAgile
Dave Nicolette discusses the tendency for novice teams to feel that maintaining information radiators in their team area represents duplicate effort on top of keeping their project management tool up to date. In reality, the two types of tools have quite different purposes. Let’s clarify the purpose of each and the differences between them.

Enterprise Agile Metrics: A GQM ApproachLeadingAgile
Ever feel like you're doing metrics wrong? Well, you probably are! Join us and up your game by learning the GQM approach to Agile metrics.
In Agile, there is a need to collect data to demonstrate progress and show improvement, but where does one even start? Common Agile metrics approaches do well at measuring team velocity and throughput, but can sometimes overlook the requirements of executive sponsors, product management, and other key stakeholders. This problem is often rooted in a lack of understanding about what business goals are driving decision-making throughout the organization and what questions we should be answering with the metrics we collect.
The “Goal-Question-Metric” (GQM) approach is a proven method for driving goal-oriented measures throughout a software organization. With GQM, we start by defining the goals we are trying to achieve, then ask clarifying questions around those goals, and finally answer our questions through objective metrics. By mapping business outcomes and goals to specific measures, we can form a better picture of the Agile environment and clearly demonstrate how we are doing across the span of the enterprise.
During this session, we will explore the GQM approach and show its effectiveness in identifying the key information your enterprise needs to know at the Executive, Portfolio, Program, and Delivery tiers. We will provide sample metric sets for each tier and explain the goals and questions that drove us to them. At the end of this talk, the audience will understand not only how to ask the right questions, but specifically what metrics can be used to answer them.

Avoiding the Pitfalls of Capitalizing Software in an Agile WorldLeadingAgile
With the increased speed that CIOs and CTOs are moving their teams into agile environments, their financial brethren are running to catch up. Having been grounded in the days of waterfall methodologies, the financial side of the house is dealing with great uncertainty on how to account for software development costs. Questions include: Are all development costs now expensed because of the continual planning, developing and pivoting of software projects that occurs within agile? If development costs can be capitalized, what is the appropriate way to track these costs – through hours or something new altogether like story points?
We will explore how the historic accounting guidance that was developed specifically through the lens of waterfall methodologies remains applicable within agile methodologies. We will look at the alternative ways to amortize these capitalized development costs and evaluate the pros and cons of doing so. In addition to the financial reporting aspects of this presentation, we will also explore the benefits gained by moving from project-based funding to overall product–based funding and what key requirements must be in place to have that successful.
The goal of this presentation is to increase awareness among the audience that while making the decision to become agile is a business decision, this decision cannot be done in isolation. The business will eventually need the approval by their finance colleagues and if these financially grounded colleagues are not educated on the financial and accounting implications of moving to agile methodologies they may block such a move based on their misunderstandings alone. Getting everyone on the same page is a key success factor when moving to agile.
Faster Food and a Better Place to Sleep: Applying Agile Outside of SoftwareLeadingAgile
Agile methods aren’t just for software anymore. Actually they haven’t been just for software for quite a while now. That said, the types of companies, and the types of industries, that are exploring team-based, collaborative, iterative and incremental approaches to do their work is rather breath-taking. Agile is truly going mainstream. The question at hand is can we apply team-based agile straight out of the box in a non-software context? Can we take our scaled agile approaches and apply them without modification? Mike Cottmeyer will talk about his specific experiences with two companies, in different industries, both trying to use agile to solve their problems.
Agile Analytics: A GQM Approach to Enterprise MetricsLeadingAgile
When undertaking an Agile transformation, there is a need to collect data to demonstrate progress and show improvement, but where does one even start? Common Agile metrics approaches do well at measuring team velocity and throughput, but can sometimes overlook the requirements of executive sponsors, product management, and other key stakeholders. This problem is often rooted in a lack of understanding about what business goals are driving decision making throughout the organization and what questions we should be answering with the metrics we collect.
The “Goal-Question-Metric” (GQM) approach is a proven method for driving goal-oriented measures throughout a software organization. With GQM, we start by defining the goals we are trying to achieve, then clarifying the questions we are trying to answer with the data we collect. By mapping business outcomes and goals to data-driven metrics, we can form a holistic picture of the Agile environment and clearly articulate how we are doing across the span of the enterprise.
During this session, we will explore the GQM approach and show its effectiveness in identifying the key information your enterprise needs to know at the Executive, Portfolio, Program, and Delivery tiers. We will provide example metric sets for each tier and explain the goals and questions that drove us to them. At the end of this talk, the audience will understand not only how to ask the right questions, but specifically what metrics can be used to answer them.
Gaining agility is different than "doing agile", particularly at scale. This session will start with how agility makes a difference for the business and for the teams adopting it. We will look at the business structures that are needed for agility to thrive, how teams are organized and the new measures that will redefine success. With agility, one size does not fit all, but there are proven solutions, and this session will look at success stories as well as the dead-ends every organization wants to avoid.
The Executives Step-by-Step Guide to Leading a Large-Scale Agile TransformationLeadingAgile
This talk explores a safe, pragmatic, and repeatable formula for leading change in large organizations. The Holy Grail for an executive is to tie dollars spent and activities performed, to internal improvement metrics and ultimately improved business performance. We’ll start by discussing the elements of an agile transformation business case and how to identify a meaningful value proposition for change. Next we’ll consider how to assess the organization and build an agile transformation strategy and roadmap that encourages an iterative and incremental approach to change. Finally we’ll explore the metrics and controls that help you know if you’re on the right track. Throughout the presentation, we’ll explore the change management and engagement techniques necessary to make sure you are building meaningful organizational support as you engage the enterprise. We’ll discuss how to build and execute a change management strategy to keep everyone safe and informed throughout the transformation. We’ll show how to sustain and improve the changes over time, ultimately creating an organizational ecosystem where business agility is part of the fundamental DNA of the company. The goal of this talk is to take the magic out of agile transformation and show you how to systematically and planfully introduce agile into your organization.
Why agile is failing in large enterprisesLeadingAgile
Agile works. We get it. You don’t have to sell people on the underlying principles anymore. Even so, many large-scale agile transformations are struggling. Some have failed. Others can’t figure out why things aren't working after multiple attempts. It’s easy to blame the people, the process, and the culture. And it’s especially easy to blame management. However, the underlying problem is that most large organizations weren’t built to be agile. You need a way to safely and pragmatically refactor your company into an organization that can adopt agile and sustain the transformation. Mike Cottmeyer introduces a framework for understanding the type of company in which you work, its delivery constraints, and likely challenges you’ll face in your agile transformation. Mike shares a strategy for establishing an end-state vision and operational model to guide your transformation. Finally, he defines an approach for incrementally introducing change, measuring outcomes, and sustaining those changes.

First Steps with Globus Compute Multi-User EndpointsGlobus
In this presentation we will share our experiences around getting started with the Globus Compute multi-user endpoint. Working with the Pharmacology group at the University of Auckland, we have previously written an application using Globus Compute that can offload computationally expensive steps in the researcher's workflows, which they wish to manage from their familiar Windows environments, onto the NeSI (New Zealand eScience Infrastructure) cluster. Some of the challenges we have encountered were that each researcher had to set up and manage their own single-user globus compute endpoint and that the workloads had varying resource requirements (CPUs, memory and wall time) between different runs. We hope that the multi-user endpoint will help to address these challenges and share an update on our progress here.

How to Position Your Globus Data Portal for Success Ten Good PracticesGlobus
Science gateways allow science and engineering communities to access shared data, software, computing services, and instruments. Science gateways have gained a lot of traction in the last twenty years, as evidenced by projects such as the Science Gateways Community Institute (SGCI) and the Center of Excellence on Science Gateways (SGX3) in the US, The Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) and its platforms in Australia, and the projects around Virtual Research Environments in Europe. A few mature frameworks have evolved with their different strengths and foci and have been taken up by a larger community such as the Globus Data Portal, Hubzero, Tapis, and Galaxy. However, even when gateways are built on successful frameworks, they continue to face the challenges of ongoing maintenance costs and how to meet the ever-expanding needs of the community they serve with enhanced features. It is not uncommon that gateways with compelling use cases are nonetheless unable to get past the prototype phase and become a full production service, or if they do, they don't survive more than a couple of years. While there is no guaranteed pathway to success, it seems likely that for any gateway there is a need for a strong community and/or solid funding streams to create and sustain its success. With over twenty years of examples to draw from, this presentation goes into detail for ten factors common to successful and enduring gateways that effectively serve as best practices for any new or developing gateway.

Understanding Globus Data Transfers with NetSageGlobus
NetSage is an open privacy-aware network measurement, analysis, and visualization service designed to help end-users visualize and reason about large data transfers. NetSage traditionally has used a combination of passive measurements, including SNMP and flow data, as well as active measurements, mainly perfSONAR, to provide longitudinal network performance data visualization. It has been deployed by dozens of networks world wide, and is supported domestically by the Engagement and Performance Operations Center (EPOC), NSF #2328479. We have recently expanded the NetSage data sources to include logs for Globus data transfers, following the same privacy-preserving approach as for Flow data. Using the logs for the Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) as an example, this talk will walk through several different example use cases that NetSage can answer, including: Who is using Globus to share data with my institution, and what kind of performance are they able to achieve? How many transfers has Globus supported for us? Which sites are we sharing the most data with, and how is that changing over time? How is my site using Globus to move data internally, and what kind of performance do we see for those transfers? What percentage of data transfers at my institution used Globus, and how did the overall data transfer performance compare to the Globus users?

10. Agile Requirements – Increments of
Value
10
• Epics are collections of related features
that solve a business problem. (Example:
“Shopping Cart Checkout”)
• Features are smaller than epics and are a
specific piece of functionality. (Example:
“Checkout using credit card”)
• Stories are the smallest increment of
value, and should be contained within a
sprint. (Example: “Checkout using Visa”)
Epic
Feature
Story
15. Product Backlog: Prioritization &
Ordering
15
• Product backlogs are prioritized by business value, where the
drivers of business value are:
– Increasing revenue
– Reducing cost
– Maintaining compliance
– Improving service
– Learning
• Product owners must work with team to also order the backlog.
Ordering is based on:
– Risk
– Complexity
– Demand
– Dependencies (from/ to other projects or systems)
16. Exercise
16
• You will receive a list of foods
• Working in groups, list the foods in order of
difficulty to prepare for consumption
• Anyone on the team can move the foods
around until consensus is reached
17. Performance
Performance is the measure of ability for the capability to satisfy our expectation of the
delivered results of that capability.
What we are asking is what level does this capability perform or need to perform in
order to achieve the result we expect to be able to achieve our goal?
• Currently Largely unknown
• From the perspective of satisfaction from the end user or target segment
• Does this capability support perform suitably?
• Content – Can the User Find Information, Is the Information Valuable?
• Technology – Is the technology reliable and available?
• Features – Can the User perform the tasks they need to?
• UX/Process – Is the experience optimized for the User?
18. Performance - Applied
• Does the current level of performance (speed, bandwidth,
calculations, response time, user interaction) fulfill the need we are
trying to address?
• Is the performance gap a factor of technology or content?
• Can we address the goal with current capabilities – Is what we
currently have Adequate for what we need to do?
• If we improve the performance of the capability will we see a large
enough return to warrant the effort?
19. Business Value
• Question: If we could improve the performance of this capability 10x would
it improve our ability to achieve our strategy?
– Assumptions
• Current performance is adequate
– Local Goals and Organizational Strategy must be aligned
• Business Value is a definitive quantifiable behavior, action or
outcome that can be measured and mapped against our expected
result; aligns with Business Strategy.
20. Business Value - Applied
Business Value is measured as a rank relative to all of our
Capabilities. That is since we have a limited amount of resources and
capacity, what would be the most important capability to address –
then the next – and so on.
This enables us to better determine where we should focus our
investment dollars and resources, who should be accountable for the
capability, where we should build it and how it should get built.
21. Speed of Change Need
• Speed of Change refers to the measurement of the
Frequency, or how often a Capability Group Needs to change
over time.
• Frequently means that the Capability Group or Capabilities within that
group change many times per year (≥ 6x per year)
• Often (≥ 5x per year)
• Regularly means that the Capability Group or Capabilities within that
group change some times per year (≈ 4x per year)
• Sometimes (≤ 2x per year)
• Stable means that the Capability Group or Capabilities within that group
change infrequently by year (≤ 1x per year)
22. Speed of Change Need - Applied
– Content - What is presented to the user needs to be
updated or changes frequently
– Technology - New technologies that need to be supported
and change frequently (Technology Innovation – New
Patentable Technology, New application for existing
technology)
– Features - The process or functionality that a user
interacts with changes frequently
23. Ability to Execute
• Ability to Execute refers to the measurement of our current
ability to change, update or enhance the capability group
relative to the need we have defined in Speed of Change.
• Frequently means that the Capability Group or Capabilities within that
group change many times per year (≥ 6x per year)
• Often (≥ 5x per year)
• Regularly means that the Capability Group or Capabilities within that
group change some times per year (≈ 4x per year)
• Sometimes (≤ 2x per year)
• Stable means that the Capability Group or Capabilities within that group
change infrequently by year (≤ 1x per year)
24. Ability to Execute - Applied
– Content - What is presented to the user needs to be
updated or changes frequently
– Technology - New technologies that need to be supported
and change frequently (Technology Innovation – New
Patentable Technology, New application for existing
technology)
– Features - The process or functionality that a user
interacts with changes frequently
– People - Do you have a Business Person that has Ownership of
this Capability?

The roles defined in the Scrum framework are defined for teams at the micro level.
However, when operating at the enterprise level, there are a number of structures and roles that can help support agile at scale.
This slide shows how we can go from the individual roles defined at the team level (Product Owner, Scrum Master, Development Team), to a scaled version of roles that includes:
Delivery Team: Defines and builds
Product Owner Team: There are a number of roles that support the product owner when operating at scale, but the basic concept behind having a product owner team is allowing the responsibilities of the Scrum product owner to be shared and distributed amongst a number of people, especially in the case of large complex organizations. There are a number of ways a product owner team can be structured, and some of the potential supporting roles are Business Analyst, Product Manager, Project Manager, and UX designer.
Portfolio Team: This team defines the strategic goals for the overall business, and determines the portfolio of products and services that would support those goals. This team is also responsible for obtaining funding for the products/ services/ projects that become part of the business’ strategic roadmap.
Delivery Team: At the Delivery Team level, the focus of the team is on User Stories & Quality. The team is focused on the specific user stories they are working on, as well as the conditions around considering those stories completed and “Done”.
Product Owner Team: At the Product Owner Team level, the focus of the team is twofold: Epics & Releases and Features & Iterations.
Epics & Releases: The Product Owner Team needs to be thinking about how epics and releases fit into product releases to customers, and how it helps us achieve incremental value delivery. This involves understanding the different sets of users/ customers and how they will benefit from each of the releases and epics, and ensuring we are getting appropriate feedback before investing in building and planning iterations.
Features & Iterations: The Product Owner Team should also be thinking about the specifics of how the epics break down into user stories, and which user stories are critical in order to achieve the goals of the epics and releases. The Product Owner Team also helps identify and agree on the iteration/ sprint goals with teams.
Portfolio Team: The Portfolio Team’s focus is on ensuring the product and project goals align with the overall business’ objectives. At this level, the team is responsible to ensure that products and projects are prioritized based on how/ whether they help achieve larger organizational/ business and strategic goals.
This graphic depicts a traditional project lifecycle, and the different phases of the project.
This graphic provides a view into how we can visualize agile project management and delivery as it relates to a traditional project lifecycle. You can think of each type of project as having similar discovery and inception phases, and then Delivery is really the phase that turns into more of an iterative cycle of sprints, where product is built and delivered incrementally and iteratively.
Talk about the “Iron Triangle” of constraints
On the left: The traditional project management “iron triangle”
Traditionally, project management fixes scope, and considers cost and time as the only variable constraints
This drives behavior that results in work and tasks getting pushed close to deadlines, and in many cases, deadlines get pushed with no real value getting delivered until the whole project is delivered.
Fixing scope and making cost and time variable also causes managers to sometimes approach project challenges with a “throw more bodies at it” mentality. This doesn’t necessarily resolve issues of complexity, or issues that can’t be resolved by adding more people to the project.
On the right: The value-driven version of the iron triangle
With a value-driven approach, time and cost are considered fixed, and scope is variable.
This approach encourages teams to figure out how to deliver value within a specific amount of time and with fixed cost, and negotiations with customers/ stakeholders are around what value should be prioritized and delivered first, instead of how to extend time and add resources to a project to achieve a fixed, locked scope.
Important to note: Agile will not solve all your problems but will expose them. Part of reducing uncertainty is to see the problems early on and then take action to solve those challenges.
The way Agile works:
1) Visibility: Agile gives the team as well as management a whole new level of visibility. Traditionally the visibility is at the beginning of the project and at the end. In Agile the visibility is throughout the project because we are in a constant state of delivering and collaborating together.
2) Business Value: Because we will deliver software earlier the business will realize value much earlier. In an traditional approach the business usually realizes the value at the end when everything is delivered at once.
3) Risk reduction: Agile helps reduce risk early on. Agile teams tend to work on the items with the highest risk first. Also, if customers get to see the work early on the can give more feedback and that again reduces the risk.
4) Adaptability: Agile will offer customers a new level of adaptability that is not common in the traditional world. In the traditional world the goal is to lock everything down and the beginning and then start working. In Agile the mindset is to keep our options open longer and commit to things at the last responsible moment.
•The product backlog captures value to be delivered to customers
•In order to drive the delivery of value, the product backlog must be ready for consumption by the team:
–Prioritized & ordered
–Acceptance criteria defined
- Highest priority work is broken down and elaborated sufficiently
Epics are the largest increment of value and represent collections of related features
Features are smaller than epics and represent a specific piece of functionality
Stories are the smallest increment of value, and typically should be able to be completed within a sprint.
Note to the class that driving value is dependent on the product owner continuously prioritizing, ordering, defining clear acceptance criteria, and breaking down the items that are at the top of the list so they are small enough to be consumed and developed by the team.
Agile frameworks view working tested product as the primary measure of progress
The practices that generate working tested product include practices at the planning level, through the creation of backlogs that are ready for teams to consume, through the implementation of disciplined engineering practices.
In order to achieve a state where teams are delivering working tested product throughout a project/ product development, there are a number of practices teams must implement.
Some of these processes relate to the way we plan iterations (are we planning in increments of value that can be delivered iteratively?), as well as the way we actually execute on our plans.
The execution of our plans involves a number of engineering practices that ensure we are delivering high quality, working product increments.
The next set of slides will discuss the engineering practices involved in delivering working, tested product.

Prioritization of the product backlog is a critical component of ensuring teams are working on the highest business value items.
Different organizations may vary in what drives business value and in the weight of each item, but generally the drivers are
Increasing revenue
Reducing cost
Maintaining compliance
Improving service
Learning
Product owners should be continuously evaluating the prioritization of the backlog, and ensuring that the team has everything they need to be able to work on items closer to the top of the backlog.
Once prioritization has been determined for backlog items, we also need to ensure that the order of the items makes sense technically, and that it aligns with expectations from the organization.
Ordering and prioritization must work hand in hand to ensure the team is working on the right backlog items at any given time.
Discussion:
Agility is not a process, methodology or framework.
Rather, it is a mindset. Agility is a different way of looking and and approaching things.
There can be many ways to achieve agility within an organization, and rather than focus on the mechanics of the process, the most important things to focus on are the values and principles that make up the Agile Manifesto.
