The document presents the Agile Transition Framework, a structured approach for introducing Agile methods in organizations. It discusses the need for change from traditional approaches that are no longer effective. The framework consists of 4 sequential steps - Orientation, Intervention, Expansion, and Normalization - that individual teams and organizations go through when transitioning to Agile. Key aspects of the framework include developing skills and guidelines, setting up teams, training, coaching, and establishing processes to make the transition stick. Transitioning successfully requires balancing top-down and bottom-up approaches over time as organizations evolve.

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.

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.
Agile Transformation at scale is challenging that requires deep understanding and expertise of agility, discipline and hunger to change. In order to guide you for success in your transformation efforts, we created the Agile Transformation Governance Model. The governance model focuses on 5 key areas together with its 19 sub areas and creates high level of visibility for your transformation efforts.
Explains the 3 main phases of Agile Transformation identified by the DACH30 exchange group. Contains a definition of the phases of an agile transformation and some glimpses on the education program.
20220607 Introduction to Flight LevelsCraeg Strong
The Flight Levels framework represents a breakthrough achievement in the Agile community, finally living up to the promise of true Business Agility. It does this by encompassing every part of the organization and encouraging participation at every level, across all disciplines. The flight level model recognizes that we need three “viewpoints” for managing our work—flight level three, or the strategy level, flight level two, or the coordination level, and flight level one, or the team level. Flight Levels provide a simple and clear way to connect strategy to execution—facilitating alignment and enabling innovation to occur at every level. Unlike complex and prescriptive frameworks, Flight Levels fit in smoothly with your existing processes like Scrum or Kanban and can be adopted quickly and incrementally.
In this talk I will introduce the flight levels framework, focusing on the problems that it solves and how it differs from other well-known frameworks. Unlike other frameworks, flight levels can be used by the entire company—it is non-IT specific. In addition, flight levels can happily coexist with other Agile frameworks. Rather than specify what teams should be doing, the flight levels framework focuses on helping teams coordinate in value streams and connecting strategy to execution at the portfolio and corporate strategy level. Unlike traditional org charts, the flight level system maps the flow of work and helps us understand the needs for coordination--where we need daily touchpoints and feedback loops. A flight level system consists of a flight level three, or strategy level board mapping corporate strategy to our portfolio of work via OKRAs—(objectives key results and Actions) as well as one or more flight level two boards to help us coordinate the work of multiple teams within a given value stream. These boards all connect to our standard flight level one team-level Scrum or Kanban boards. This talk introduces an exciting new approach to enterprise agility that is neither vague nor overly prescriptive. Participants will come away with a new perspective on scaling Agile that they can apply immediately, no matter which Agile framework(s) their organization is using.

Introduction to SAFe, the Scaled Agile Frameworksrondal
Sans doute vous identifiez vous dans une ou plusieurs des situations suivantes:
- plusieurs équipes Scrum travaillent dans votre entreprise, parfois sur un même projet ou des projets connexes
- la coordination entre équipes Scrum n'est pas optimale
- vous-même, ou certains stakeholders, ont besoin d'une vue plus long terme sur vos projets Agile, plus que "juste le prochain sprint"
- sur base du succès de Scrum dans votre entreprise, vous voulez allez plus loin et vous voulez rendre plus agile l'entièreté de votre entreprise
Si c'est le cas, venez découvrir le framework SAFe.
Après une présentation du framework et de ses fondements, vous serez en mesure de mieux le comprendre, et de voir ce qu'il peut apporter ou non à votre entreprise.
The current definition of Business Agility is as nebulous as DevOps was only a few years ago. Some schools of thought focus on different parts of the business employing agile techniques. While an important step, it proves insufficient to allow the overall business to achieve true agility.
In this session, we will explore the emerging thinking on what is Business Agility and provide concrete examples of organizations who have taken steps to successfully achieve it.
Learning Objectives:
*Define Enterprise Business Agility in a holistic fashion
*Articulate real-world examples of Business Agility
*Begin to implement aspects of Business Agility within your organization
Immer mehr Organisationen setzen Flight Levels als ein Denkmodell ein, damit das Unternehmen agil am Markt agieren kann. Dafür braucht es sehr viel mehr, als einfach nur ein paar Teams zu agilisieren. In diesem Vortrag werde ich anhand eines Unternehmens zeigen, wie Flight Levels dafür verwendet werden, teamübergreifende Business Agilität zu erreichen. Ich werde auch darauf eingehen, welche Boards gebaut wurden, um agile Interaktionen zwischen den Teams zu etablieren und wie sich die Arbeit über die Boards bewegt, damit strategisches Alignment in der gesamten Organisation erreicht wird.
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.
What is the best Agile Adoption or Agile Transformation organization and team structure and the talent needed to successfully implement Agile across the company? Is there a best approach?
While most organization seek increased agility, many struggle. Studies indicate leadership is a key barrier. These slides provide an overview of Agile Leadership and how to develop it.

Jumping off the waterfall - watch out for the rocks below!
As agile adoption grows, more and more companies are finding themselves trying to transition from a waterfall-based product development approach to a more agile one. Success stories are easy to find from the great companies who get it right first time, but for most us that won't sound like our story. We'll take more than a few stumbles along the path and wonder what it is about us or our specific situation that means we're finding it so hard.
Having led this transition within some of Ireland's busiest websites, we did parts of it well, but I'm going to focus more on the stuff we got very wrong - decisions we made that at the time seemed like both the smart and low risk thing to do but ended up being neither!
It'll hopefully be a useful guide to potential pitfalls along the route if you're starting out on the same journey. And if you've already been through it, you may recognise more than a few of the rocks we hit along the way!
The slides themselves are mainly intended as an aid for when I'm talking and may not work so well for anyone who didn't see the talk! So I've expanded on my notes from the talk at http://www.conroyp.com/2014/10/21/jumping-off-the-waterfall-agile-transition/.

Companies of all sizes need to grow their own agile way of working, becoming more agile is a journey, not a destination, it is not about implementing a model or another…
It feels like someone presented scaling as the ultimate solution to solve every problem… and now everybody wants to buy it, it really feels like an old story. Way to often the focus about scaling agile lands on the delivery of projects, and explicitly on the operational model behind that. Every true Agilist would know that agility is about continuous improvement and excellence as much as it is about delivery of value. The real challenge lays in how to make an organization learn continuous improvement and embed it into its own culture.

A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.

Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.

Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.

Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.
