Agile ME Meetup: Agile A-Z - Chapter 5: Growing with AgileRasmus Runberg
What is Agile? - What are the roles in Agile development? How do we implement or scale with Agile? Which Agile processes should I use in my case?
There are so many questions about Agile, so in a series of Meetups, we will try to uncover as many aspects of Agile as possible, in order to provide the full overview of Agility in organisations. The form will be a combination of presentations and discussions, so everyone has a chance to address their thoughts on the matter.
In the first chapter, we had a more "general" talk about what Agile software development is, and the value behind it. What does it mean to be Agile? - In the second chapter we looked into the Product Owner role and the many expectations and responsibilities that comes along with the "titel" - and in the third chapter we turned our focus towards the Scrum Master, his role, responsibilities and the ceremonies in SCRUM.
Fourth chapter where about the Feedback loop, and the importance on being able to reach upon changes.
In this fifth chapter we focussed on growing with Agile. What happens when one development team isn't enough to deliver the requirements of your product, and you need to scale? In the chapter we covered the following topics:

7 Secrets of Successful HipChat IntegrationsAtlassian
One of the great things about HipChat is its ability to support add-ons that pull useful information from other systems into team chat rooms. Many teams use add-ons to do things like notify them about incidents, track marketing metrics, or organize team projects.
But, getting teams to use the right add-ons in the right way can be a challenge. While many provide a lot of value to the team, others don't get much adoption.
Learn what makes for a successful HipChat add-on from HipChat Ecosystem team manager, Anatoli Kazatchkov, who has studied the essential traits of popular add-ons. You will learn how to avoid making your add-ons too noisy, how to make the functionality discoverable, and how to provide the right information in the right context.

Webinar On Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) | iZenBridgeSaket Bansal
This presentation we used in our webinar on Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) .
We first look at what scaling is about and how Safe helps in scaling agile projects.
This talk is about the agile adoption journey applied to transition a 40+ members team working on multiple projects.
Agile adoption is not about bringing in a new process; instead it is more about defining or rather redefining the organizational culture. One of the biggest challenges that any organization will encounter while it is embracing their agile journey is changing mindset.
There are many inherent problems with most organizations which need to be tackled during agile adoption. The main reason for high failure rate is because; change-agents talk of adopting agile and not about transforming the organizational culture to support its agile journey. The sad consequence is mainly due to the fact that change-agents undertaking organizational transformation do not have a proper buy-in or understanding of organizational consequences.
Based on experience with various teams, we have defined a framework to address this. This framework focuses on individuals, helping team transformation impacting its organizational culture.
To enable the team through agile adoption, I propose six step approach.
Evaluate: Conduct agile adoption evaluation and identify gaps
Gap analysis: Analyze gaps and derive ways on how to bridge the gaps
Propose: Propose and align various agile approaches that suites the team
Define: Define plan, adoption approach and road map
Pilot: Deploy pilot projects as part of agile transition
Extend: Extend across organization

Removing the Silos: When Agile, Lean, and DevOps Aren’t EnoughTechWell
Your organization has adopted some combination of agile, lean, and DevOps practices, yet you have a sinking feeling that it’s not working the way everyone hoped it would. You’re wondering if it’s because you work for a very large organization and all this talk about small, cross-functional teams seems to conflict with your organizational charts. Your IT department is organized around functional disciplines such as the PMO, business analysis, Test Center of Excellence, and DevOps engineering. Do we need to blow up these structures in order to have successful agile/lean/DevOps transformations? Betty Zakheim says no. The trick is to remove the barriers to effective teamwork that these functional silos create. To understand where the barriers exist, Betty uses a combination of value stream mapping and an examination of the tools and techniques the functional disciplines employ. Using these techniques, she locates the inefficiencies in the handoffs among disciplines and introduces cross-lifecycle metrics that provide a better understanding of how effective your SDLC really is.

Three Things You MUST Know to Transform into an Agile EnterpriseJosiah Renaudin
The farther we go down the path of scaled agile transformation, the more we learn that adding process and complexity can only take us so far. At some point, size and complexity are going limit our ability to be truly agile, and we must move toward greater organizational simplicity. The challenge is that large organizations are often complex and usually anything but simple. Most agile transformations start by either ignoring the complexity inherent in the system or by wrapping complexity in planning constructs that may help in the short run but ultimately doom your business agility. Mike Cottmeyer discusses three things you need to know to successfully transform any-sized organization into an agile enterprise: (1) patterns for creating cross-functional teams at scale, what gets in the way, and how to get there; (2) why clear backlogs are hard to create and what you need do to create them; and (3) why creating work-tested software is key to actually getting the business benefits your organization is seeking.
Getting to Better Problems (AgileShift conference)Allison Pollard
Ever feel discouraged by the impediments, setbacks, and struggles that come from leading change? If you created a backlog to address each challenge, would it seem a mile long? Allison and Jason share the improvement kata model so you can lead groups in focusing on the next problem to solve and owning change for themselves.
Continuous improvement is a journey rather than a destination. Come hear examples of how an improvement kata approach has enabled change at the team and organizational levels through small actions. Learn how you can apply katas in your organization.
DevLearn 2018 - Designing AR Experiences for Performance SupportChad Udell
While many companies are experimenting with AR in the L&D space, there are a number of businesses harnessing the power of AR for enhancing operational performance outside of the training department. How do these experiences differ, and how can you renew your department’s focus on performance by taking on more advanced AR solutions in your efforts?
In this session, you will learn practical approaches for designing effective AR experiences. You’ll discover an approach to strategic implementation of AR by forming a partnership with functional business units. You’ll also explore the difference between simple marker-based AR solutions and more advanced computer vision and machine learning–backed AR. You’ll then look at how you can integrate AR systems with operational business systems in order to maximize return on investment and realize the opportunity that AR-enabled workers represent. Finally, you’ll look at aligning measurement of business task success and AR experience usage in order to align learning and production.

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.

The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.
