What is Agile & Agile Project Management?. Introduction to Plan-based vs value-driven development; Scrum framework and roles and ceremonies; self-organised team, agile values. and leadership
This 1 day, hands-on, workshop will introduce the processes and workflows necessary to manage a Business Intelligence team in a flexible, iterative and agile manner. Through standard agile management methods (Scrum, Kanban and Test-Driven Development), this workshop will provide you with the tools to manage your workflow, BI development, demand management, and customer engagement.
The goal of this workshop is to expose you to different ways of working and give you potential tactics and techniques to improve your BI project delivery.
Slack + Atlassian Integration: Use Automation to Remove Organization Silos an...Cprime
An often neglected success factor in scaling agility is strategically connecting the big picture view across the organization. Teams gravitate to working in functional silos with independent and uncoordinated workflows across people, processes, and products, causing low business outcome predictability (<50%) due to poorly defined roles and disconnected collaboration.
In this webinar, we will highlight the differences between organic and intentional collaboration and why when collaboration is not strategically architected, predictability, visibility, and governance suffer as a result.
We will show specific use cases of how Slack messaging-driven collaboration and specifically its integration with your large work items in a tool like Atlassian enables business process automation, decision automation for effortless process automation, visibility, and productivity.
The SAFe 5.0 white paper provides an overview of the Framework, the Big Picture graphic, the seven core competencies, and the values, mindset, principles, and practices that guide teams to more effectively build solutions in a far leaner—and more Agile—fashion.
Enterprise architecture (EA) can potentially promote a common business vision within your organization, provide guidance to improve both business and IT decision making, and improve IT efficiencies. Unfortunately many EA teams struggle to provide these benefits, often because they are perceived as ivory tower or being too difficult to work with.
The adoption of disciplined agile and lean strategies that are based on collaboration, enablement, and streamlining the flow of work are the keys to EA success. Disciplined strategies that produce light-weight, yet still sufficient, artifacts are the key to your success. This presentation explores both the success factors and failure factors surrounding EA, pragmatic strategies for a lean/agile approach to EA, and how EA is supported and enhanced by the Disciplined Agile framework. This isn’t your grandfather’s EA strategy.
It is quite possible to use Agile techniques for creating and maintaining a data architecture. Doing so will dramatically reduce the risk of failed data warehouse projects. This webinar will give you a quick overview of the benefits and challenges of Agile Data Modeling, Evolutionary Database Design, Agile Modeling, Conformed Dimensions, Bus Matrix, Database Refactoring, and an Agile framework for Agile data projects

Benefits of Lean IT and it's importance.
The world is a merry-go-round and you can't get off. Customers are becoming more demanding, markets are becoming more customised, and product life-cycles that are getting shorter are just a few of the reasons why Lean could be important to you. As the demands on our processes increase they evolve and adapt accordingly which often results in processes that end up inefficient and wasteful. Lean is about challenging the way things are done and opening our eyes to that waste and inefficiency. The environment in which an organization operates will continue to change; Lean can help organizations meet the challenge.
Lean can provide an organization with a clear competitive advantage since the correct application of the Lean principles will realise substantial benefits that include:
- Greater productivity
- Greater throughput
- Improved quality
- Reduced cycle times
- Less fire-fighting
- Smoother operation
- Reduced operating costs

A Customer Success Journey Moving From Tasktop Sync to Tasktop Integration Hu...Tasktop
TIAA fully invested in Tasktop Integration Hub with 5 new integrations in February 2018 and also recently migrated 3 integrations from Sync to Hub. During this session, I will share our journey with Hub from original reluctance to switch from Sync to eager adoption after seeing it in action last October. I plan to share our redeployment story, the benefits of Hub, and of course share my technical tips and tricks! I’ve done some interesting work with extensions and the home grown error facility I built that either fixes errors or reports them from the errors retrieved using the Hub API. I’m also looking at performing automated testing of our integrations against new versions of Hub so that I can validate and adopt new Hub features much faster.

Products and Value: An Agile Perspective BY Matt Nudelmann (GUEST PRESENTER)Samuel Chin, PMP, CSM
You may have heard of Agile methodology before, especially in the context of web development ... but can we apply Agile principles to our study of process?
In this session, guest presenter Matt Nudelman explains how to understand some core elements of process, Product and Value, from an Agile point of view. He covers a range of topics including: the difference between a product and a project, Agile project management, the 80/20 rule, what an MVP is, and defining value using the Agile framework.
We also discussed how these principles apply to the process work we've been doing, and what we can take away for practical application.
----
Matt Nudelman, Scrum Master and Project Manager, began working in digital sometime before the last Dot Com boom, and has seen the rise of development methodologies coincide with his interest in efficient work practices. He has managed projects for Morgan Stanley, the New York Times, advertising agencies, and lots of companies you never heard of. Currently, Matt works with teams at Viacom to produce great software and to maximize their Agile effectiveness.
For projects like building a power plant or a train tunnel, tough project managers are needed. But when it comes to developing digital or physical products, the role of a project manager has an increasingly difficult standing. During agile or digital transformations, new roles emerge to take over project management tasks. So, are project managers needed in these areas in the future?
This is the slide I have used for a 2.5 hours long training session conducted as part of Faculty Development Programme for a reputed University in Kerala
„Ich glaub, ich werd welk“. Zeitdilatation in Agilen Transformationen – Tools...Michael Tarnowski
Die Zeitdilatation ist ein relativistisches Phänomen. Alle inneren Prozesse eines physikalischen Systems laufen langsamer ab, wenn sich dieses System relativ zum Beobachter bewegt.
Doch neben dem Higgs-Boson („Gottesteilchen“) und den Gravitationswellen haben Forscher inzwischen entdeckt, dass selbst in Systemen, die sich relativ zum Beobachter überhaupt nicht bewegen, die Zeit langsamer abläuft, ja sogar stillsteht. Vor allem dann, sobald Agile-Coaches durch die Türen nicht agiler Unternehmen treten.
Lessons Learned:
Humoristischer Versuch, die Frage „Wieso ist Agile nicht Agile?“ zu beantworten. Der Referent zeigt, welche Wirkungen Culture Hacking bei einem Kunden hat, den er seit mehr als zwei Jahren bei seiner agilen Transition begleitet.

Product Owner Challenge - Agile in the City Manchester 2017Michael Tarnowski
Product owner challenge is an agile game with Lego bricks. It supports organisations in transitioning from waterfall to agile. The game illustrates the agile mindset to a waterfall-driven product development culture: stop micro-management and communicate face-to-face clear objectives, requirements and product vision.
Challenge your product development department by a challenging contest with LEGO bricks: "Who Delivers Value First?" - Agile or Waterfall?
Product Owner Challenge is an agile game w/ Lego bricks. Its about challenging the product development to communicate clear objectives, requirements, and vision.
Slidedeck contains playing instructions, examples, and further info.
Material needed: (a) "Presentation User Stories for POChallenge", (b) "Process Cards for POChallenge" - both on my SlideShare account
It's a card game.
It addresses agile themes and topics in weird, morbid, and political incorrect question.
It was created by @UdoWiegaertner, @AnjaStiedl, @M_Tarnowski, et.al. inspired by a open space session of @JordannGross at Play4Agile16

Unveiling the Secrets How Does Generative AI Work.pdfSam H
At its core, generative artificial intelligence relies on the concept of generative models, which serve as engines that churn out entirely new data resembling their training data. It is like a sculptor who has studied so many forms found in nature and then uses this knowledge to create sculptures from his imagination that have never been seen before anywhere else. If taken to cyberspace, gans work almost the same way.

The Summary: Plan-Bases vs Adaptive Development
Agile is…
• People-centric way to create innovative products and solutions
• Market-centric model to maximize business value
• Demand-Driven model based on lean principles
Plan-based development: the plan creates
cost/schedule estimates
• Features are Fixed
• Time and Cost are Variables
• Quality is negotiable, or worst neglect able
Adaptive process: the vision creates
feature estimates
• Time, Cost, and Quality are Fixed
• Features are variable, negotiable

Agile, Agile Leadership & Line Management
• There is NO management in Agile.
• The Team manages itself together with Product Owner.
• The team is cross-functional: all needed skills are available instantly.
• T-shaped team members: they have in-depth skills and other broader skills.
• Leadership is given by the team according to competence and demand.
Agile and Traditional Line Management
Line Manager becomes Agile Leader if:
shows the Big Picture and sets the “guard
rails” for the team.

The Summary: Agile Adoption Benchmarks
Reasons for Agile Adoption
2015, http://techbeacon.com/survey-agile-new-norm
Project Success and Failure RatesIs Agile better than Waterfall?
No – Any methodology by itself is not a recipe for success. Projects can be
different, in terms of duration, budget, complexity, number of stakeholders.
Agile is not a „one size fits all” approach. Waterfall projects suits to some
types of projects and Agile to others, usually smaller, less critical, more local
scope, more oriented to end-user. Risk of failure is a nature of software
development.
Does Agile projects manage risk better than
Waterfall?
Yes – But it does not mean that failure will be avoided by using Agile
methods. Failure is also a nature of software development. Agile methods
provide a good toolset that helps to minimize and manage risk effectively.
Simply because agile requires better collaboration, more communication, end-
user involvement, shorter, more iterative phases with quicker delivery of
results. The success mostly depends on the stakeholders of the project, –
success is the success of a team, not the project itself.
When should I use Agile/Scrum vs Waterfall?

It’s not about doing more work in less time.
It’s about generating more value with less work.

Scrum MasterSelf-organized
Team
Scrum Master is facilitator for both
the Product Owner and the team.
He manages how information is
exchanged.
He removes obstacles -
“impediments” - that are impeding
the team's progress.
He protects the team from outside
distractions.
He has no authority within the
team (thus couldn’t also be the
Product Owner!)
Product owner is responsible to
have a vision of what he or she
wishes to build, and convey that
vision to the scrum team.
Someone from marketing, product
management or anyone with a
solid understanding of users, the
market place, the competition and
of future trends.
No Management!
self-organized team
Scrum Framework:
A Scrum team includes 7-14
members, plus or minus two.
Scrum teams are cross-
functional, including the
skills (but ideally not the job
titles) of software engineers,
architects, programmers,
analysts, QA experts, testers,
UI designers, etc.

Exercise 1: Identify one as a aggressor, the other as your protégé.
Station yourself in between both thus your body works always as a
shield for the protégé.
Observation: The group doesn’t reach an equilibrium - it keeps always moving and never stops
Exercise 2: Identify one as aggressor, the other as your shield.
Station yourself in between both thus your shield always protects
you from your aggressor.
Observation: The group comes to a collapse: it stops moving
Exercise 3: Station yourself in between both thus you
three always forms a equal-sided triangle.
Observation: The group stabilize: it moves only to adapt change.
Self-Organized Teams
Exercise: Group is constantly moving in a room or space. Everyone takes for herself 2 persons
in the group – without making them public.

Common Misunderstandings
In Agile there is no Project Plan resp. Planning
• Agile probably has more planning.
• Agile Planning is spread out through the whole development.
• Sprint is planned and strictly monitored on a daily level.
• In addition, most Agile projects will start with an initial iteration – Sprint 0 –, or even a classic
high-level analysis phase to determine the overall scope and complexity, fill the initial
product backlog, and provide overall estimation on cost and timing – ideally resulting in
high-level architectural blueprints and a release (e.g., Minimum Releasable Feature) plan.

In Agile all Team Members must be co-located
• Colocation is the ideal situation for Agile (and really any project!), but increasingly rare in
today’s globalized business environment.
• There are great software-based tools that replace physical task boards; some as simple
as Excel, SharePoint, and web-cams or sophisticated tools as Rally or Jira.
• Distributed Teams certainly take more effort and skilled leadership – but it is not a show-
stopper.

In Agile there is no Documentation
• You can have as much documentation as you need.
• Documentation is just another deliverable.
• If it brings you any value the schedule it and produce it like anything else.

In Agile all Team Member must be
Full-Time assigned in one project
• Ideal situation but more often than
impossible.
• Carefully manage with part-time team
members
• There is danger lurking here: Some of
the key staff needs to have a significant
availability.
• Be careful not to create wasteful and
superfluous bottlenecks
• A high fluctuation of team members will
make it impossible to make future
predictions using velocity.

In Agile there is no Management, or Leadership
• Agile teams do not need managers directing their work.
• The manager’s role is to set the team up for success and then support from the outside –
from the boundary of the team itself
• The question for an agile manager becomes, “How can I array people to best increase
throughput?” rather than, “How can I maximize ‘my’ people being utilized at 100 percent?”

Agile Doesn’t Fit in Regulative Environments
• Take regulations as additional, non-functional requirements.
• The regulations rarely tell you how to work.
• Regulations typically provide criteria that your process needs to meet.
• Integrate regulations in the Definition of Done.
• Following the regulation in your process is a question of investment in the tool chain.

In Agile Work must Fit in a Sprint
• If you do Hard Core Scrum from the Book – YES.
• However, let stories (requirements) span sprints to improve flow.
• Nevertheless, slice huge stories in smaller chunks as often as possible.
• Small stories (requirements) are equivalent to small pieces of work

Agile Adoption… a Long and Windy Way
eflon, https://www.flickr.com/photos/eflon/8842584616/
You can not change people! – Change their (working)
environment instead. – Then people change their habits.
You can not create a new culture – the people define it.
Show by example.
• Change Leadership style from micro-managing to
showing Big Pictures instead.
• Create flat hierarchies – stop procedural hand-overs.
• Empower people.
• Create a trustful atmosphere.
• Give autonomy, mastery, goals
• Do not Scale Agile – Grow Agile!

Is Agile better than Waterfall?
Is Agile better than Waterfall?
No– Any methodology by itself is not a recipe for success. Projects can be different, in terms of
duration, budget, complexity, number of stakeholders. Agile is not a „one size fits all” approach.
Waterfall projects suits to some types of projects and Agile to others, usually smaller, less critical,
more local scope, more oriented to end-user. Risk of failure is a nature of software development.
Does Agile projects manage risk better than Waterfall?
Yes– But it does not mean that failure will be avoided by using Agile methods. Failure is also a
nature of software development.
Agile methods provide a good toolset that helps to minimize and manage risk effectively. Simply
because agile requires better collaboration, more communication, end-user involvement, shorter,
more iterative phases with quicker delivery of results. The success mostly depends on the
stakeholders of the project, – success is the success of a team, not the project itself.
When should I use Agile/Scrum vs Waterfall?
