Everyone says "I understand Agile", but do they really?
Based on 5 years of people telling me the understand Agile I started to think would could it mean when someone says that.
What I realised is that there has been a mindset shift about how companies work, and Agile (in it's strictest definition) is just a part of that.
Would really like to hear your thoughts on the slides and how can the contents be improved.
Thanks!

What does a Scrum Master do all day if a Daily Scrum is only 15 minutes? This talk - “A Day in the Life of a Scrum Master” - will explore the role beyond simple facilitation of the Sprint Ceremonies. Attendees learn four different areas of focus for a balanced approach to the role.
Agile is not a methodology it is just a list of values and practices, described in Agile Manifesto.
You may easily find a list of Agile Frameworks such as Scrum, XP, Crystal Clear and others.
It may sounds strange, but they still are not a methodology.
Methodology is their implementation, which works for context it was created.
Unfortunately, Agile implementations sometimes have a blind spot.
You may easily start using Agile practices but without accompaniment mindset they most likely not work.
And what does "Agile mindset" actually mean?
Agile Mindset : The Paradigm Shift..! - Agile Tour Algiers 2017Taoufik Fekhar
Agile is about mindset, this mindset is established through 4 values, grounded by 12 principles, and manifested through many different practices. Agile is a transformation from “fixed mindset” to “growth mindset”. Agile is a shift of thinking for the way of how we run a knowledge work from “defined process” to “empirical process”, Agile is a paradigm shift of how we manage work (specially knowledge work) from “coordination & control” to “inspect & adapt”. So, Agile is all about mindset, and it’s very important to understand this mindset in order to succeed the transformation to Agility that allows us to deal with complexity and uncertainty by established set of attitudes and habits toward a work like: failing early, learning through discovery, welcoming change, continuous delivery and continuous improvement, self-organizing team, collaboration and communication, build in feedback loops...etc, and when we really understand the Agile mindset we can use the Agile practices and tools as “Shu” level of instructions and guidance in the journey from “Doing Agile” to “Being Agile”, this journey that requires a lot of education and learning.
Presentation for Mile High PMI Workshop on November 15, 2008
Abstract:
There are always people who want agile projects to fail. This will probably be the case until agile is the preferred process methodology used for projects. Are you one of them? In this workshop Bob Hartman will give participants a how-to guide for causing agile process failure. Attendees will learn various failure modes and how to cause them. There will be group discussions and exercises exploring how the failure modes can manifest themselves in real projects. At the end of this workshop each attendee should have the ability to cause agile project failure in a variety of ways and under a variety of conditions.
Obviously the first paragraph is a bit tongue-in-cheek. Hopefully project managers do not want agile projects to fail, but they need to know how they could fail. This knowledge will translate into an ability to recognize the failure modes and take corrective action. Interestingly, many of the agile project failure modes are also failure modes in other project process methodologies. All project managers on agile projects or in organizations that are considering using an agile process should attend this workshop. Project managers in organizations which typically struggle with projects may also gain insight into their project failure modes.
Where can Kanban be embedded in the organizational context? Sounds like an easy question, however, it is not always easy to answer - especially in bigger organizations. In this session I will introduce the Kanban Flight Levels model which provides an overview of the different fields of application of Kanban and helps to understand the implications for the organizational context. Furthermore, the model helps to clarify where to start with your Kanban change initiative: on team level, on the value stream, or on portfolio level - every level has it's own challenges, pros and cons.
A presentation by full-stack agile on some of the myths regarding the Agile framework. There are important questions such as benefits, documentation, scalability, architecture, planning and discipline.
This presentation goal is to demonstrate Agile Mindset & thinking. This presentation tries to explain how to be agile and behave like a agile. Team and Organizational mindset is also explained in this presentation.
We've often heard that "Culture eats Strategy for breakfast". Well for years, the largest and longest-running Agile survey has been demonstrating that this is true for Agile adoption as well. The top challenge continues to be "Company philosophy or culture at odds with core agile values".*
With 16 years of working on Agile adoptions in two hemispheres across organisations with widely varying cultures, Rowan sees clear patterns for how culture is shapes Agile in organisations. Not only the style of Agile or pseudo-Agile that you end up with, but even how the concept of Agile itself is framed and perceived.
Given an understanding of your organisational culture, we're coming close to being able to predict how your Agile adoption will play out even before you consider starting! That's unless there is real leadership energy spent on effective cultural change.
In this session we explore crucial questions such as the following for leaders in organisations pursuing Agile.
- What are characteristics of your organisation's culture that are most likely shaping your Agile adoption?
- What is it that your organisation is likely to be misinterpreting about Agile and Scrum given its prevailing culture?
- Why does attempting to adopt good Agile without shifting organisational culture result in either low impact watered down Agile and/or ongoing culture clash?
- Why is Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) so popular in certain sorts of organisations and what are they are missing out on?
- What sorts of changes in belief and behaviour are required of leadership in order to lead a culture change supportive of the phase shift to a higher impact mode of Agile?
- What is it like working in a rare "Agile native" culture?
Time permitting, we'll tell stories of first-hand experience with "Agile native" organisational cultures and what led to them emerging and thriving.

Advancing as a Scrum Master or Agile Coach v2Rowan Bunning
Our Agile adoptions could be more successful if we, as Scrum Masters and Agile Coaches, were more impactful. Achieving this requires a more holistic understanding of these roles plus skilling up to be more effective at fulfilling them. That starts with us.
In many organisations, a Scrum Master is seen as just a team facilitator. Often only superficial elements of the role are played part-time by an already busy team member. If there are full-time Scrum Masters, in many organisations they are rendered ineffective as change agents and capability builders. Their capacity is filled by a heavy load of co-ordination, stakeholder meetings, progress tracking and other project management tasks have been left to Scrum Masters in the absence of a project manager or the implementation of effective Scrum alternatives.
If this sounds like you, or someone you know, this session is for you!
At the heart of this appears to be a fundamental lack of understanding as to what the Scrum Master role is all about. Also a failure for Scrum Masters to explain their role in the context of the new mindsets and demonstrate its worth to teams, Product Owners, management and other stakeholders.
This interactive session aims to open your eyes to see what a Scrum Master is really meant to be and full impact that a Scrum Master can make.
aka "Agile adoption stories from highly varied organisational cultures"
Why is the culture change that genuine Agile requires so difficult in most army or machine-like corporate cultures, yet quite natural for certain organisations who have a culture similar to a family or living organism? It turns out that the type of Agile your organisation adopts corresponds with its dominant world view or stage of consciousness. Drawing from 15 years of experience with Agile in Australia and the UK, we describe how Agile was interpreted quite differently by organisations classed as Amber, Orange, Green and Teal in Frederic LaLoux’s model.
Familiarise yourself with the characteristics of the four stages of Frederic LaLoux’s consciousness model.
You will become aware of:
* The stage that your own organisation is at
* How your organisation is likely to interpret and ‘bend’ Agile to fit its world view
* Specific beliefs and motivations that make high agility difficult in organisations with Amber and Orange stages of consciousness
* The Green and Teal beliefs and leadership styles that are genuinely transformational in achieving and sustaining high agility and customer-centric Agile adoptions.
A simple formula for becoming Lean, Agile and unlocking high performance team...Rowan Bunning
In an effort to become Agile and/or Lean, many organisations in Australia are attempting to design their own custom Agile process from Agile and Lean principles at the time at which they are least qualified to do so - before they have started.
This might appear to make sense if you set out to 'implement the Agile Methodology' * or 'do Agile' *. After all, aren't you acting in the adaptable spirit of Agile to pick and choose which practices you adopt and how you implement them? Every organisation is unique, right?
In reality, organisations taking this approach, tend to pick the easy 'low hanging fruit' that are easy for them to adopt over those that offer the most improvement over the status quo. In pulling up stumps early and 'wimping out' of the harder organisational changes, such organisations unconsciously stifle their teams' ability to reach for high performance and limit the organisation's ability to go beyond "good" to be truly "great". They may also be missing the essential understanding that Agile practices were designed to work as an inter-dependent system of disciplined practice. As Kent Beck put it: "No single practice works well by itself, each needs the other practices to keep them in balance. If you follow 80% of the process you get 20% of the benefits."
If, however, you set out to be a high performing organisation, this may not be adequate.
So...
What if there was a way to avoid a half-baked 'Agile-ish' approach producing half-baked outcomes? What if you could get there by "standing on the shoulders of giants"?
What if there were a simple formula for becoming truly Agile?
(Genuinely living the Agile Software Development values and principles.)
What if this simple formula also implicitly implemented the core principles of Lean and did so in a way based not on repetitive Lean Manufacturing of physical objects but on a type of Lean that is much more appropriate for complex knowledge work and systems development?
What if this formula also implemented the management/leadership approaches suggested for a Complex problem domain as per the Cynefin framework?
What if this formula enabled rapid cycles of learning about both:- what the customer really needs and- what techniques are required to rise to the challenge of delivering it using contemporary technologies?
What if this formula was proven to scale and could support you through the Agile Journey from pilot to whole-organisation transformation?
What if this formula was self-correcting in terms of both your project outcome and your processes themselves?
What if there was a way to unlock the full synergistic potential of teams and realise truly high performance?
A series of ScrumBut anti-patterns observed in multiple Scrum projects along with guidance on how to avoid them.
As presented at the European Scrum Gathering (Munich, Germany) on October 19, 2009.
In this session we tell stories of post-heroic servant leadership from three cities in two continents that draw out reality and leave people feeling that they achieved breakthrough results themselves. Leadership that broke down barriers (very literally!), eliminated distrust and dysfunction, socialised issues and facilitated decision-making that saved a high-stakes project and transformed the culture to an environment of empowerment and candour.
Using these stories as inspiration, participants identify examples of increasing transparency across widely used Scrum artefacts such as Product Backlog and events such as Sprint Review.
Scrummaster Needed Desperately at 2016 Scrum AustraliaBernd Schiffer
There is a lot of reluctance within organisations to place ScrumMasters, let alone to spend money to hire them. Surely this role can be done by one of the developers, right? After all, it’s only a minor role, isn’t it? Far from it! The ScrumMaster is a full-time role. Without it, who can take care of the agile process on behalf of a busy Scrum team?
One way to help teams and management understand the value of the ScrumMaster’s role is to show them the volume and importance of tasks a ScrumMaster can fulfil, and the consequences of what happens if nobody takes care of these tasks. This session not only presents the 42 tasks of a ScrumMaster’s role but will clearly show that every Scrum team needs a ScrumMaster.

From the GitLab Data Team member, a first-face story about how the asynchronous way of working helps us manage the “chaos” (as folks usually think about remote work) in the 24/7 work environment. In this session, I like to demystify transparency and how it can leverage your success. The narrative is related to the Data team in GitLab and can be used for any matter. Will wrap the topics and guide you through: - Why transparency is an organic way to communicate and cooperate, - How to stay secure when you share everything or almost everything with the outer world, - How to leverage your data usage and still stay a good boy of the IT world, - What you should promise to your community

Change How You Do Product - by Tal Ben-Simon (ProductX 2018)Tal Ben-Simon
Presented on stage at the "ProductX 2018" conference.
We, product people, are usually trying to change or redesign our product.
But there’s a point in time, when you need to reorganize the structure and redefine the workflow of your Product-R&D teams and potentially the entire company.

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.

Marvin belicht de uitdagingen die er zijn om echt aansluiting te vinden op die markt van non-endemic advertising.

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
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.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-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.
www.seribangash.com
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.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
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.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder

Why should you listen to me?
When you understand the mindset shift you will be able to:
• Communicate easier with each other
• Explicitly choose which mindset you want your company to have
• Build companies that adapt to unpredictable events
• Test new ideas and new opportunities quickly
5. @wildfalcon
Everyone just does “work”
“There’s no point paying attention to the way things get done”
“We are wasting too much time on this ‘process’ crap”
“Stop talking about how I work and let me do some work”
Chaos
8. @wildfalcon
Scientific Management
Three basic principles
1. Get better results by thinking about how work is done:
The “work practices”
2. Managers should control the employees’ work practices
3. Managers should empirically analyse and optimise work practices
27. @wildfalcon
Complex Systems
Complex systems have the following properties
1. They adapt to their constraints
2. They rapidly reconfigure to adapt to any changes
3. Behaviour is emergent - meaning it’s unpredictable
4. Behaviour is constantly adapting so is rarely stable
29. @wildfalcon
AKA “Empowered Teams”
1. Get better results by thinking about how work is done:
The “work practices”
2. Teams of people should be empowered to control their own work
practices
3. Teams should analyse and improve their own work practices

Summary
Three things you should remember
• 2 (or 3) Mindsets about how a company can work
• How these apply to 4 types of work that a company can do
• The phrase “Agile” can be used to mean different things
!
57. @wildfalcon
Learnings
Two key ideas
• Over the past 130 years there has been a continual change:
Chaos -> Scientific Management -> Complex Systems
• We are learning how create empowered teams that are more fun to
work in and generate better results
!
