Scaling Scrum Without Crushing Its Soul - Patricia Kong - Agile NZ 2017

AgileNZ Conference

At the core of Scrum is the empowered self-organised team. However, when organisations scale, if they are not careful, they can disempower teams and destroy self-organisation. When they do, they don't get what they are looking for and the teams end up feeling defeated and unmotivated.

Scaled Agile OCM Lightning Talk

Joe Vallone

This document discusses applying Kotter's 8-step model of organizational change to adopting the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) at an organization. The 8 steps are: 1) Increase urgency, 2) Create a guiding coalition, 3) Develop a change vision, 4) Communicate the vision, 5) Empower others to act, 6) Produce short-term wins, 7) Don't let up, 8) Make it stick. For each step, examples are provided of how the model was applied to a SAFe adoption at American Airlines, such as gaining executive buy-in, running adoption as an agile team, and creating visible metrics and successes.

Lean Leadership Culture and Tools - Chris Hefley - Agile Israel 2015

AgileSparks

Please join us on Wednesday January 27 in Burlington MA starting at 6:30 pm as senior enterprise agility coach Yuval Yeret describes several techniques that can be used to produce a lasting and productive adoption of the Scaled Agile Framework. The Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) is a powerful and popular framework for implementing agile at large scale across the enterprise. However many organizations see their implementation of SAFe stall and even backfire since the adoption is mandated from its organizational leaders, instead of engaged teams participating and choosing their SAFe. In this talk we will examine some dangerous implementation anti-patterns as well as healthier alternatives. You will learn some concrete techniques that help live up to the Lean/SAFe principles of respecting and engaging people. We will discuss field-proven ideas such as pull-based crossing the chasm approach to implementation, use of open space as part of the different SAFe ceremonies, and how Open Space Agility can combine with SAFe.

Jean Tabaka

There really is language in the quantum world that validates why we need to act differently in 21st century software development and how we deliver valuable software effectively. Your current business is most likely based on a Newtonian view of the world: structure, hierarchy. In the 21st century relationship, congruency, and holism matter much more. Absorbing the truth of uncertainty rather than believing it can be analyzed away. These are some of the concepts and practices that can give you the 21st century edge.

Introduction to Agile

agorolabs

The document provides an introduction to Agile software development. It outlines the Agile Manifesto and 12 principles of Agile. The Agile Manifesto values individuals, interactions, working software over processes, tools, comprehensive documentation, and contract negotiation. It emerged in response to shortcomings of traditional waterfall development as business needs began changing more rapidly. The 12 Agile principles place emphasis on customer satisfaction, responding to change, frequent delivery, collaboration between business and developers, motivated individuals, face-to-face communication, progress measurements, sustainability, technical excellence, simplicity, self-organizing teams, and continuous improvement.

The Art of SAFe ART/VS Design - Agile Boston Meetup - Feb 2016

Mikkel Toudal Kristiansen

How to map SAFe Agile Release Trains and Value Streams to your organization Please join us on Wednesday February 24 in Burlington MA starting at 6:30 pm as senior enterprise agility coach Yuval Yeret describes how to map SAFe Agile Release Trains and Value Stream to your organization. In this interactive session we will focus on an exciting aspect of the process of implementing a scaled agile approach. How to build those "Teams of Teams" that Scaled Agile approaches such as SAFe(tm) talk about. We will quickly review the purpose of the Agile Release Train and Value Stream constructs, understand ART/VS design considerations, and then work on a couple of case studies/exercises to see what the ART/VS design should look like. NOTE: Yuval will bring some of his interesting case studies. AND If you are thinking about implementing a scaled agile approach yourself and trying to figure out ART/VS design, we would love to do a live case study in the session. You will get free expert consulting as well as the wisdom of the crowds to give you some potentially useful ideas!

The document presents the Agile Testing Manifesto which outlines principles for agile testing. It emphasizes testing throughout development rather than just at the end, testing as an activity integrated with development rather than a separate phase, preventing bugs rather than just finding them, understanding requirements rather than just checking functionality, building the best system rather than breaking the system, and having team responsibility for quality rather than giving sole responsibility to testers. It also introduces the authors of the manifesto and provides links to resources about agile testing and growing agile.

Agile innovation

Christophe Addinquy

We must be digital, we must innovate. we must indeed : the next startup ready to « uberize » us is just around the corner. It’s a question of life and death, sooner than we expect. Innovation is not about creating new shinny products, we’ve already been here. It’s about doing the business differently, changing the habits of our customers, being disruptive. It’s about changing the game, breaking some rules, acting differently, getting out of our comfort zone. We don’t do that by doing business as usual. The old way of working doesn’t apply any more : writing specifications about things we don’t know doesn’t make sense, deciding what will be the next behavior of our customer is pointless when they don’t know themself. We need a process to help us to learn, to allow quick adaptation. Instead of optimizing the workload, we should optimize learning and business impact. Agile is just about that. In this session, we’ll see how agile fits the paradigm shift of innovation. We’ll embrace the world of uncertainty, see what it means to get out of the comfort zone where opportunities and how agile makes us act differently.

ScrumDay Germany - The Future Present of Scrum

Gunther Verheyen

Scrum has been around since 1995, for more than two decades. Since the release of the Agile Manifesto in 2001, Scrum gradually become the most applied method for Agile software development. Depending on the source, 70-90% of all Agile teams worldwide say they use Scrum. Can we say we’re Done with Scrum? Or is the key for future success still Scrum – meaning we are not yet Done with Scrum? The key to employing Scrum professionally is creating Done Increments of product, where “Done” actually means “releasable in production.” It might take another two decades to actually get there.

Scale agile down instead of scaling it up

Tushar Somaiya

People everywhere are talking about scaling agile and different frameworks and ideas to support this. Fancy and rather complicated scaling agile frameworks have not only taken shape but probably have started becoming mainstream. All these frameworks apparently claim to facilitate communication and collaboration. However, as group size rises, all sorts of issues emerges. Even if more people provide a greater pool of resources, they also require greater amounts of coordination and management, to the point where size becomes an impediment. Scaling up might trigger not only “coordination loss” & “motivation loss” but also “relational loss”. Small teams are agile!! I guess, thats the reason Scrum urges to work in small teams. As small as 5 to 9 members. So let’s explore if there is a possibility to scale down instead of scaling up? And, how can you scale down? What does it take? Has anyone scaled down yet? Is there a structure to scale down? Can it be replicated?

The document discusses the role of testers in agile development. It begins with an introduction of the presenter, Aditya Garg, who has experience in testing, automation, and agile methodologies. It then defines agile as being responsive to change through iterative and incremental development. The common perception that testers are not needed in agile is addressed, noting that testers must adapt by having a collaborative mindset rather than "us vs them". While some perceive testers may become extinct, the presenter argues they have a huge opportunity if they change to meet shorter timelines and be a team player in agile. Test automation, shifting from detailed test cases to exploratory testing, and the value of a

What is Agile Methodology?

AXIA Consulting Inc.

The document provides an overview of Agile methodology. It defines Agile as a set of practices and attitudes that value individuals and interactions, working software, customer collaboration, and responding to change over processes, tools, documentation, contract negotiation, and following a plan. Key Agile concepts discussed include daily standups, storyboards, short releases, test-driven development, and retrospectives. The roles of Product Owner, Scrum Master, and team are described. Common Agile metrics like velocity and burn-up charts are also covered. The document concludes by noting many organizations now use Agile.

User Stories Suck by David Hawks at North Dallas Product Owners Meetup

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. Wouldn’t you like to know much earlier which features are not going to be valued by your market? We need techniques that shorten the feedback loop with customers, not stakeholders. 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.

Webinar - Why Agile Transformations Fail

We operate in a world of exponentially increasing market disruption. It is more important than ever for organizations to achieve organizational agility, which is why many companies are embarking on Agile Transformations. However, few of them are realizing the full agile results promised--and needed. In fact, over 50% of all Agile transformations fail. In this webinar, David explored how leaders can guide their organizations past common barriers to transformation and accelerate momentum towards true organizational agility using a proven transformation framework, the Path to Agility®. Key takeaways include: - 4 impediments slowing down the transformation or preventing significant gains from Agile - How an organization develops new capabilities by implementing Agile practices - How those capabilities result in agile outcomes and better agility for an organization - The ability to assess your current state of agility and where to focus efforts in the near term
