About this virtual meetup
While many organizations operate in an Agile way, they are still not fully realizing Agile’s benefits. There has been tremendous focus on implementing all of the Agile practices without understanding if and how the various Agile frameworks, tools, and skills are driving results. Path to Agility is the solution to this growing problem. Path to Agility orients your Agile transformation around guiding business outcomes like speed, market responsiveness, and customer satisfaction. The Agile transformation framework then identifies the right Agile outcomes and capabilities that your organization should focus on to help you build your transformation roadmap.

User Stories Suck by David Hawks at North Dallas Product Owners MeetupAgile Velocity
The User Story concept was invented almost 20 years ago, it’s time for an update. This outdated process supports an old way of working focused on predictable requirements delivery instead of product discovery.

We need to prioritize based on riskiest assumptions and iterate quickly through small experiments in order to (in)validate our ideas as fast as possible.

Introduction to Enterprise Agile FrameworksMehul Kapadia
* Need for Enterprise Agility
Agile practices have been adopted by organizations of all sizes.
For medium to large enterprises, team level agile practices have been stretched with custom fit processes and practices as needed to fulfill the gaps in end to end delivery life cycle.
* Agile@Scale
Enterprise Agile Frameworks have emerged to address the challenge of replicating agile success at organization level.
We will review following frameworks:
• SAFe – Scaled Agile Framework
• DAD – Disciplined Agile Delivery
• LeSS – Large Scale Scrum
* Attendees will leave this presentation with a clear understanding of current trends in organizational agility and will be able to take back the lessons learnt from speaker’s experience of SAFe implementation.
How to Successfully Scale Agile in Your EnterpriseIsaac Hogue
In an enterprise environment that is not structured to adopt out-of-the-box Agile, it’s critical to adopt Agile to your enterprises business drivers, value structure and governance. While Agile methodologies can improve the predictability, quality, and time to market of your software delivery, they are not a silver bullet.
Waterfall and agile processes have been applied to software development for many years. However, the same concepts can be applied to many other areas of business operation, including capacity management.
View this webcast on-demand to learn how to apply agile processes to the function of capacity management and real experiences carrying out capacity management in a company that has embraced Scaled Agile methodologies. Topics covered in this webcast include:
• Agile processes from the beginning
• Capacity management requirements
• Mapping agile processes and executing them
• Lessons learned implementing this approach

Then, attendees used SAFe® constructs to realize the capabilities in order to achieve the desired business objective.
The ROI of Scaling Agile - How to justify the investment in terms your CFO wi...Steve Elliott
You know the benefits of moving through an Agile transformation but the inevitable question always comes up - Does Agile really improve cost, schedule, productivity, quality and customer satisfaction compared to traditional methods?
Join Scott Blacker, VP of Products at AgileCraft and Phillip Manketo, Senior Agile Consultant at Eliassen Group, for an one-hour session as they share insight into how to justify your Agile investment.
Abstract:
More and more organizations are realizing that in order to achieve business agility they need to go beyond implementing agile in specific teams/projects. Real agility requires scaling agile to the program/portfolio/enterprise level. In this session we will explore the options organizations have when looking to scale agile, with an emphasis on SAFe(tm) - the Scaled Agile Framework - one of the most popular options these days.
Learning Objectives:
• When does it make sense to Scale Agile
• What are the leading scaling approaches
• An introduction to SAFe's Big Picture and implementation configurations
• How to implement SAFe - The Implementation Roadmap
• Typical Results of implementing SAFe
• Key risks/red flags to be aware of when implementing SAFe

Agile is simple to understand but difficult to implement, hard to master and mind-boggling when trying to scale!
This is because many organisations start implementing Agile in a cultural context that is mostly non-Agile.
This creates a significant number of tensions and frictions that the teams adopting Agile have to deal with although they are often not fully aware of them.
This presentation discusses why implement Agile and what is Agile, it also talks about how to scale from a single team to multiple teams and the impact on organisational culture.
What does it mean by scaling Agile? Is it just applying scrum principles to a large team or simply adopting an industry available scaling framework? Find out how to make Agile at Scale work for you!

Why Transformations Get Stuck - Global Scrum Gathering 2019 Agile Velocity
In this world of exponentially increasing market disruption, it is more imperative than ever for organizations to not only achieve operational agility (efficiency, speed, etc.), but also organizational agility (speed to respond to market change). Many companies are embarking on an Agile Transformation, but getting “lost in the desert” and not realizing the full agile benefits promised and needed. Traditional leadership paradigms, organizational structures, and culture all get in the way, as too many companies focus on team level change and framework implementation (Scrum and SAFe).

5. Cart Before the Horse!
Starting with SAFe® and expecting it to somehow achieve some grand Business
Objective is like putting the cart before the horse and expecting the horse to push it.
Good luck!
Wait - how
do I steer?
6. “Begin with the end in mind.”
- Habit 2, Stephen R. Covey
“A goal properly set is
halfway reached..”
- Zig Ziglar
“Effective leaders help others to understand the
necessity of change and to accept a common
vision of the desired outcome.”
- Leading Change, John Kotter
“When you know what you want
and you want it bad enough,
you’ll find a way to get it.”
- Jim Rohn
“In absence of clearly defined goals, we
become strangely loyal to performing
daily acts of trivia, until ultimately we
become enslaved to it.”
Outcome-Oriented Thinking
7. 7
“Improve our market responsiveness to 2
months or less when new security breaches
are found.”
“Reduce defects found after release by
50% this year.”
“Increase our customer satisfaction NPS
score to 85, a 20% increase within 6 months.”
“Decrease help desk tickets by 40% when
compared to last year through self-service
and robot automation.”
“Reduce our unused feature % from 60% to
20% within 2 years.”
“Increase our number of releases to 4 this year,
instead of our average of 1 per year.”

20. The collection of Agile Outcomes and underlying Capabilities which influence your desired Business
Objective become your initial “Transformation Backlog” consisting of prioritized work items. Think of Agile
Outcomes as “features” and Capabilities as “stories” with acceptance criteria.
This is much better than a Candy Land circuitous journey!
Also, a good way to thin down the size of SAFe to a targeted set focused on the business outcome!
