This document provides information on Scrumban, which is a hybrid agile approach that combines elements of Scrum and Kanban. It discusses why Scrumban works by starting with the current process and respecting existing roles while enabling gradual change. It also lists some of the top reasons why agile adoptions fail, such as not having a clear reason for changing or forcing top-down changes. The document then explores Kanban principles and practices and how they can be applied in a Scrum context. It provides examples of when and how Scrumban can be useful for teams.
Scrum is an iterative agile software development method using sprints of 2-4 weeks to deliver working software. Kanban uses a pull-based scheduling system to determine production priorities and avoid overloading developers. Scrumban combines Scrum and Kanban by using Scrum's roles and meetings to maintain agility while adopting Kanban's continuous process improvement. It is suited for maintenance projects, help desk work, and projects with unpredictable requirements changes.

Kanban is a workflow management system that visualizes work and limits work-in-progress. It focuses on optimizing flow and reducing lead times rather than velocity. There are three primary feedback loops in Kanban: daily standups, system capability reviews, and operations reviews. Kanban metrics like lead time, flow efficiency, and work-in-progress are analyzed to understand workflow and identify areas for improvement. Coaches advise teams to adjust work-in-progress based on trends in these metrics.

This document summarizes an agile leadership assessment of an individual. The assessment scored the individual a 0 out of 100 in several key areas of agile leadership, including setting clear expectations, goal setting, coaching employees, involvement in development, and attitude. All scores were 0%, indicating the individual needs to improve in all areas assessed by developing agile leadership skills. No strengths were identified. The assessment suggests the individual needs to work on and improve all leadership skills measured.
The document discusses Kanban, an approach to workflow management. It begins with introductions and an agenda for a workshop on Kanban theory and simulation. It then outlines a common problem of handling capacity, output, and strategy. Kanban is presented as a potential solution, emphasizing limiting work in progress based on bottlenecks. The core practices of Kanban are defined as visualizing workflow, limiting work in progress, managing flow, making policies explicit, implementing feedback loops, and improving collaboratively. Examples are given and a simulation exercise is proposed to conclude the workshop.
The document provides information about Naveen Kumar Singh, an agile coach and consultant with over 17 years of experience. It lists his certifications and contact details. It then discusses agile concepts like Scrum roles, ceremonies, and artifacts. The rest of the document discusses Kanban principles like visualize your work, limit work in progress, manage flow, test as soon as done, and deal with bottlenecks. It provides examples of using Kanban with Scrum and compares Kanban and Scrum approaches.
The document outlines an agenda for a Lean-Agile leadership workshop for executives. It will begin with comparing waterfall vs Lean-Agile methodology, focusing on adopting a value-driven mindset by looking at culture first. It will then cover Agile product management, discussing topics like limiting work in progress, prioritization using journey maps and story maps, and the product owner role. Executives will also have a Q&A about Agile transformation journeys and be provided with self-learning aids.
The document discusses implementing Kanban for services teams. It describes the typical push model used by many services teams and its problems. It then suggests adopting a pull model using Kanban with a Kanban board to visualize workflow. Key aspects of Kanban discussed include limiting work in progress, continuous flow, and using it to identify impediments. The document also discusses combining Kanban with aspects of Scrum and emphasizing continuous improvement.
Agile & Lean & Kanban in the Real World - A Case StudyRussell Pannone
The document discusses Lean, Agile, and Kanban principles and methods. It provides an overview of Lean Agile approaches, the Kanban method, and a case study of an infrastructure team at a footwear company applying hybrid Lean Agile and Kanban principles. The team was previously using Scrum but found it did not fit their reactive, event-driven work. They decided to experiment with Kanban to better fit their work style and provide more visibility into tasks. The goal was to see if work-in-progress limits and measuring cycle time would help improve their effectiveness.

BDD approaches for web development at Agile Testing Days 2009Thomas Lundström
This document discusses Behavior Driven Development (BDD) approaches for web development. It defines BDD as bridging the gap between business and technical views by focusing on minimizing barriers between specification, design, implementation, and behavior confirmation. BDD uses ubiquitous language in user stories and acceptance criteria to specify requirements in a way that is executable by developers, testers, and analysts. It emphasizes an outside-in approach using vocabulary from the user's perspective rather than technical terms. Tools like Cucumber support BDD workflows for web applications.

Getting Started With the TFS Object ModelJeff Bramwell
Microsoft's Team Foundation Server (TFS) is a very capable platform for integrating all aspects of the software development lifecycle (SDLC). There is a great deal of functionality provided out of the box that will handle the majority of a development team's needs. However, there are times when you need to extend the functionality of TFS to handle scenarios not anticipated by Microsoft (or they just didn't have the time to get them built into the product). This session will cover the common APIs provided by the TFS Object Model and provide the knowledge needed to get started developing with TFS right away.
Kanban was originally created as a scheduling system to help manufacturing organizations determine what to produce, when to produce it, and how much to produce. Although this may not sound like software development, these lean principles can be successfully applied to development teams to improve the delivery of value through better visibility and limits on work in process.

Cloud Academy Webinar: Recipe for DevOps Success: Capital One StyleMark Andersen
Capital One transitioned to a DevOps model to improve speed of delivery and reduce handoffs between teams. They started with a SWAT team that automated builds, deployments, and infrastructure for two applications. This proved successful and they expanded automation to more applications. Challenges included trying to automate everything at once and handoffs when automation was returned to application teams. Key lessons included focusing on automation, removing handoffs, training application teams on automation, and delivering working solutions incrementally rather than waiting for perfection.

Moving 75,000 Microsofties to DevOps with Visual Studio Team ServicesVSTS Community MSFT
Lessons learned along Microsoft's DevOps Journey|An overview of the Microsoft DevOps transformation story and lessons learned. Delivered at www.devconf.co.za 2018.
In the world of agile, there is theory and then there is practice. We like to talk about self-organizing teams, asynchronous execution, BDD, TDD, and emergent architecture. We also talk about cross-functional teams: how analysts, testers, architects, technical writers, and UX designers belong on the same team, right next to programmers. It all sounds nice in theory, but how does this work in reality? What do these people actually do? How do they interact? What does it look like? Is there really a pragmatic way to make this work?
In this simulation, a cross-functional team will actually build a piece of software. Every specialist will have a hand in the process. Every specialist will also act as a generalist. Everyone will add value. And as a team, we’ll get something DONE.
This is your opportunity to see agile development in practice, and to bridge the gap between what agilists say and what teams do. And it’s not as new or as difficult as you think – affinity between testers, BA’s, coders, and other team members has really been at the root of effective development practices all along. Let’s just finally acknowledge that it works, demonstrate its capabilities, and encourage it going forward.
This IS agile development.

Agile Outside Software: Does Agile work outside of sofware? #AOSWallan kelly
- Agile practices originated from lean manufacturing and were adapted for software development, becoming known as Agile software development. Some practices like stand-up meetings, retrospectives, and work-in-progress limits have been adopted outside of software as well.
- Case studies show that elements of Agile have been successfully applied in various non-software domains like legal teams, education, marketing, and strategy development. However, not all Agile practices directly translate and new practices may need to be developed for different fields.
- While there are still relatively few case studies of Agile outside of software, the principles of Agile can work for other domains if adapted appropriately for the context. Organizations should consider which Agile practices
Five Steps to a More Agile Organization: Adopting Agility at ScaleLitheSpeed
While agile methods have become mainstream, agile organizations have not. Perhaps several development teams have had great results from a method like Scrum, but as soon as you begin to scale the effort up, the inertia of a fundamentally waterfall-oriented organization becomes painfully apparent. This is where many companies find themselves today. This webinar will address some key tips to driving agility beyond technology groups and making an entire company more adaptive and responsive.
This document discusses strategies for scaling software development teams while minimizing technical debt. It advocates separating teams into roles including developers, team leaders, and engineering managers. Team leaders are responsible for driving cadence and morale, ensuring deadlines are met, and mentoring developers. Engineering managers focus on skills development and removing barriers. Regular, predictable delivery of features through steady cadence is emphasized over long release cycles to reduce technical debt. Separating concerns like architecture from UI helps determine appropriate processes along the agile-waterfall spectrum.

Webinar: Designing a schema for a Data WarehouseFederico Razzoli
Are you new to data warehouses (DWH)? Do you need to check whether your data warehouse follows the best practices for a good design? In both cases, this webinar is for you.
A data warehouse is a central relational database that contains all measurements about a business or an organisation. This data comes from a variety of heterogeneous data sources, which includes databases of any type that back the applications used by the company, data files exported by some applications, or APIs provided by internal or external services.
But designing a data warehouse correctly is a hard task, which requires gathering information about the business processes that need to be analysed in the first place. These processes must be translated into so-called star schemas, which means, denormalised databases where each table represents a dimension or facts.
We will discuss these topics:
- How to gather information about a business;
- Understanding dictionaries and how to identify business entities;
- Dimensions and facts;
- Setting a table granularity;
- Types of facts;
- Types of dimensions;
- Snowflakes and how to avoid them;
- Expanding existing dimensions and facts.

This presentation will outline the scope and perspective of utilizing AI in XML development. The potential benefits and the possible pitfalls will be highlighted, providing a balanced view of the subject.
We will explore the capabilities of AI in understanding XML markup languages and autonomously creating structured XML content. Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.
Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved.
The discussion will extend to how AI can be used to transform XML content. In particular, the focus will be on the use of AI XPath extension functions in XSLT, Schematron, Schematron Quick Fixes, or for XML content refactoring.
The presentation aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of AI usage in XML development, providing attendees with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. Whether you’re at the early stages of adopting AI or considering integrating it in advanced XML development, this presentation will cover all levels of expertise.
By highlighting the potential advantages and challenges of integrating AI with XML development tools and languages, the presentation seeks to inspire thoughtful conversation around the future of XML development. We’ll not only delve into the technical aspects of AI-powered XML development but also discuss practical implications and possible future directions.

Really?? )Agile (Scrum, XP, home-grown methodology)Why (there is that word again) didn’t it work?Chaos (self-evident and sneaky – kinda looks like Agile)Waterfall (not well suited to knowledge work)Large batch, single pass, long duration workflow (usually)Agile (well suited, but book methodologies are prescriptive without understanding context)Lack of leadership in adoptionsWe have LOTS of grey-matter horsepower… often pulling in opposite directions
I found a method that was …Learning focusedContext awareSpecific about leveraging teams/people to solve problemsEvolutionary, NOT revolutionaryhttp://www.istockphoto.com/stock-photo-17496132-businessman-has-idea.php?st=6c18412
The Kanban Method is a proven evolutionary, change management approach built on numerous best practices that are intended to target specific problems across the whole knowledge work lifecycle.
Why I love The Kanban MethodFocused on the peopleBusiness drivenSimple rules that scale to complex situationsLearning focusedEasy to start!!
So we said that the Kanban Method is a simple set of rules that help us govern complex systems and that really is the case. In fact, the Kanban Method consists of 4 principles that we use to encourage specific behaviour and 6 practices that give us some tactics that allow us to start learning about ourselves and finding solutions to the process problems as they exist in our environments. One of the key advantages of the Kanban Method over other approaches is how easy it is to get started and use so that we can continue to learn and grow over the course of time. http://www.istockphoto.com/stock-photo-20042058-marathon-runners-at-the-starting-line.php?st=dabb4dd
The Kanban Method is easy to get started because of the first principle, which is to start this improvement initiative what modeling how you work today without any changes. The Kanban Method advocates this approach as it has two positive effects that are important in any change initiative. First, we want to be able to understand the current state and create a baseline on which to compare any improvement activities. We want to find the best places to invest our precious time. Secondly, it will minimize the emotional impact to everyone involved. The second principle is a commitment to small, incremental improvement activities. Small increments are excellent learning opportunities where we minimize the cost and impact of sub-optimal changes. And these learning opportunities help teams plan out the next small improvement.The third principle acknowledges that engaged, happy people a key success factor in the delivery of business value and that we need to provide a respectful and safe environment for the people involved in these improvement activities.And finally, we need to create an environment that allows for and encourages the spontaneous display of acts of leadership at all points of the workflow. These acts of leadership will lead to improvement activities that were not anticipated but will arise to specific problems that the team encounters in their day to day activities.
Now that we have some principles to govern our behaviour, the Kanban Method also provides 6 core practices that support the needs of a team that is looking to continuously improve and grow their Kanban Method maturity level. The sixcore practices of the Kanban Method are:VisualizeLimit Work In Process (WIP)Manage flowMake policies explicitDevelop feedback mechanismsImprove collaboratively (using model-driven experiments/scientific method)When adopting the Kanban Method, it is not required to practice all six of these concepts. All teams should start at the top in what is called a “shallow” Kanban implementation. As they grow in maturity and capability, teams then adopt more of the core practices as they move to a “deep” Kanban implementation.
Humans love to see things! We’re very visually oriented. (percentage of brain attributed to visual stimuli?)SoVisualize – This simple tactic suggests that we create a visual representation of the flow of work through the system. In order to do this, we need to describe:Work Item Types in the system (user stories, bugs, improvement activities, support work)Workflow for these Work Item typesAny special behaviours that are associated with work item types (production defects expedited over user stories, only 1 improvement activity in flight at a time)The boundaries of the process being visualizedThe visualization of all of this information will be a powerful tool in impacting the behaviour of the consumers of the information.
Can anyone see where the problem is in this system?
Limit Work In Process (WIP) – systems that limit the amount of work in process tend to reduce overburdening on people and help to identify bottlenecks in the process
Once WIP limits are in place, we formally acknowledge capacity constraints within a phase of our workflow and we can then start to change those constraints
Manage flow – there are many different ways that we can improve the flow characteristics of work through the system and the Kanban Method explains specific tactics for improving flow in the system
Make policies explicit – In making process policies explicit or “writing them down”, we’re providing information to everyone who needs to understand how the system is operating
Develop feedback mechanisms at workflow, inter-workflow and organizational levels – In order to continuously learn and improve, feedback mechanisms must be created and sustained as a part of the way the team works. And these feedback mechanisms are used to manage broader concerns of the organization around the team adopting the Kanban Method.
Improve collaboratively (using experiments/scientific method) – The last practice is to theories couple with observation and measurements to drive improvement activities. This is often described as using a scientific method to guide our improvement activities. Using a scientific method, we would describe an expectation or a “theory” on the impact of a change, ensure we are able to measure the change, and validate our choices.
Many of our clients have experienced real, measurable benefits when they have adopted the Kanban Method as a way to manage their systems. Teams have quantitative information regarding demand in the form of work item types and the frequency at which these work items are introduced. And they understand their capacity to do work in the form of flow time and throughput.And now that teams understand demand and capacity in a quantitative fashion, we can measurably improve using flow improvement tactics or the elimination of bottlenecks in the workflow.Empowered to innovate Scientific approach (PDSA • LMB • OODA)Exposed ConstraintsSelf-imposedTeam & Organization scopeCan be rectified once exposedAnd on a more qualitative note, we very often see that team members are happier now that they have been given the permission and the tools necessary to improve the software development process. And since we can see when people are overburdened, we can proactively help teams achieve a sustainable pace and reduce the overburdening that burns out teams and causes employee dissatisfaction.http://www.istockphoto.com/stock-photo-15520861-elegant-middle-aged-woman-with-her-arms-crossed-against-white.php?st=fd67935
Several of the observed benefits to the business when knowledge work teams use the Kanban Method include: Increased predictabilityImproved agilityBetter risk managementImproved governanceImproved change management@agilemanager: Predictability, improved agility, better governance, evolutionary change, better risk management
