The document discusses building foundations for business agility. It notes that most transformation programs and software development efforts fail to adapt to changing market conditions. It explores agile principles from approaches like Scrum, Kanban, and eXtreme Programming that focus on understanding business needs and team dynamics. The document emphasizes that developing agility requires a mindset shift beyond just rules or processes to consider sociological and complexity factors. It outlines challenges of a volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous (VUCA) world and defines enterprise agility as an organization's ability to constantly adapt to new markets without compromising its health. It proposes that agility improvement consider people's needs across five types of agility and eight key areas while ensuring sustainability.
The current definition of Business Agility is as nebulous as DevOps was only a few years ago. Some schools of thought focus on different parts of the business employing agile techniques. While an important step, it proves insufficient to allow the overall business to achieve true agility.
In this session, we will explore the emerging thinking on what is Business Agility and provide concrete examples of organizations who have taken steps to successfully achieve it.
Learning Objectives:
*Define Enterprise Business Agility in a holistic fashion
*Articulate real-world examples of Business Agility
*Begin to implement aspects of Business Agility within your organization

What changes are needed in management and leadership to move towards the new lean culture of creative and knowledge work?
My presentation from Agile Finland's Modern Agile Breakfast.
Next Level Agile - David Hawks - Dallas Agile Leadership Network February 2019Agile Velocity
Today, most Agile leaders are trying to achieve predictable, fast delivery. While that’s good, it’s no longer good enough—not if we want to keep up in this highly competitive, rapidly changing world. Next Level Agility is about the ability of an entire organization to quickly adapt to market
changes.
In this session at Dallas Agile Leadership Network, David Hawks shared principles and practices that are the future of Agile organizations.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
- Learn 3 key reasons for creating the urgency to improve
- Understand the mindset that is holding us back
- Discover 5 practices for evolving Agile to the next level
Webinar: Scaling Agility: 5 Practices to Get Your Organization StartedAgile Velocity
Agile ‘thinking’ can seem simple until you look at adopting an Agile methodology across an organization. Then it can become daunting, or at a minimum complex. Any way you look at it, most of us need some guidance to get and keep the ball rolling to empower our organizations to change.
In this webinar, Mike and Bryan discussed different tactics and practices that organizations can take as they begin to scale agility across the organization.
Key takeaways include:
– Signs it’s time to start scaling agility
– 5 practices your organization can implement to begin scaling agility
– Tips for evolving these practices into a framework that’s right for your culture
Learn how your organization can combat growing pains and increase agility.
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
Explains the 3 main phases of Agile Transformation identified by the DACH30 exchange group. Contains a definition of the phases of an agile transformation and some glimpses on the education program.
Why Agile Transformations Get Stuck - David Hawks, DFW Scrum February 2019Agile 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).
Traditional Leadership Paradigms, Org. Structures, and Culture all get in the way, as too many companies focus on team level change and framework implementation (Scrum and SAFe). In this session, we explore how leaders can guide their organizations past these barriers and accelerate the momentum towards true organizational agility.
Path to Agile Leadership with David Hawks - Utah Women in AgileAgile Velocity
The current rate of disruption and increasing amount of global competition demand leaders work differently. On top of that, there is a new workforce dynamic in place that requires leaders to empower teams, inspire workers, and lead with intention. In this session at Utah Women in Agile, David Hawks discussed key capabilities leaders need to develop to thrive in this new, unpredictable world.

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. 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.
Lean Enterprise Transformation: The Journey Inside Large Organizations, Sonja...Lean Startup Co.
Large enterprises facing disruption struggle to transform quickly enough—from becoming more innovative to improving processes, culture, and ways of working. Transformation programs are often linear, multi-year engagements not focused on continuous learning and improvement. In this workshop, Sonja Kresojevic will share lessons learned from an award-winning Lean Enterprise transformation program at Pearson that will enable you to kick off and significantly accelerate your own organization's Lean Enterprise journey. She will uncover how proven approaches embodied in Lean Startup, Agile, and Adaptive Portfolio Management can be combined into a single cohesive framework that can serve as catalyst for powerful shifts in your organization.You will leave the workshop with an example of transformation roadmap ready to stimulate wide-ranging conversations and drive focused action, as soon as you return to your office.
Respect for People - Lean's neglected pillarJon Terry
Respect for People is one of the pillars of Lean. If you read the Lean-Agile literature or attend conferences, you will hear plenty about culture. However, these ideas usually aren’t presented as systematically and tangibly as the process tools. Most of the Lean principles that we study are focused on the other pillar, Continuous Improvement. Cultural ideas may be mixed in there but in a way that’s hard to untangle. Or, at the risk of ruffling some feathers, they may seem overly touchy-feely or theoretical brain science-y.
That’s a real shame. A business can’t just be a nice place to work, full of nice people; it must deliver a steady stream of results for customers and financial stakeholders. But the best long-term results come from providing a sustainable, healthy work environment. So investing in a strong culture is a wise decision for executives and managers.
This talk will explore some key ideas around team structure and the responsibilities of both team members and managers in a respectful Lean-Agile company. It will present a candidate set of seven principles to spell out Respect for People to match those for Continuous Improvement. And it will share some of the source material from which these ideas are derived.
Where Does Agile Go Wrong - David Hawks, DeveloperWeek Austin 2019 Agile Velocity

Becoming Agile: Agile Transitions in Practice - Rashina Hoda - AgileNZ 2017AgileNZ Conference
Agile adoption has been typically understood as a one-off organisational process involving a staged selection of Agile development practices. This does not account for the differences in the pace and effectiveness of individual teams transitioning to Agile development.

Projects Are Evil - David Hawks, Agile 2018Agile Velocity
Explore the slides from David Hawks' Agile 2018 talk, Projects Are Evil.
David led the group through a set of discovery exercises so the audience can understand their current biases. As the group unraveled what they truly value most, they saw how those values are impacted by a project-driven mindset.
Then, they transformed this list of values into a new Agile Manifesto, walking away from the talk with actionable items to take back to their organizations to help create a value-driven mindset.
Our world and future business opportunities are continuously emerging through advances in design and technology, and wider social and economic change. Organizations must continually revisit the question, “What business are we in, and how can we organize to maximise our performance”.
This keynote will discuss how to embrace a culture of continuous experimentation and learning, to adapt our organizations design, and transform our business to an adaptable, resilient Lean Enterprise.
My presentation from Agile ME 2018, Dubai March 10th, about how Agile can be so much more than just a process we follow blindly in order to “certify” ourselves as being fully agile – it’s a mindset and a culture, and utilized and empowered the right way we can gain value as individuals in our every day of work, even beyond working with IT, projects and iterations.
In the session, I talked about the true power behind the Modern Agile mindset, and shared how this new approach to agility can help uncovering better ways of getting awesome results.

Switching on the agile light takes more than flickMike Burns
"There is a large difference between doing agile and being agile. Modern change management techniques suggest many ways of implementing a new organisational change such as agility. However, there are times when just doing it and making it the baseline means that you can kick-start the agile journey. This presentation will present some ideas on the things that you can enforce and the things that will take time."

If agile is so great, why do we constrain it to software projectsJohn McIntyre
Over the last 25 years, adoption of agile techniques and methods on software projects has become the norm. But despite the massive uptake of agile, why do we continue to constrain it to our software projects? In this presentation, delivered at PMIs PMO Symposium 2016 in San Diego, John explores how PMOs can take agility to the next level by successfully integrating agile methodology into their business processes and by helping other areas of the business become more agile.
Lean Kanban India 2019 Conference | Enabling Business Agility through a simp...LeanKanbanIndia
Session Title: Enabling Business Agility through a simpler alternative
Session Detail: In these times of rapid change, Business agility has become a buzzword for organizations to not only survive but also grow and thrive. Though often used, Business Agility has varied shades, and means different things for organizations. The approach for transformation towards business agility can also be unique to organizations and the context in which they operate. In this talk we present our experiences coaching and consulting organizations in their transformation journey. We share a model for percolating change towards business agility, progressively from individual teams to the organization as a whole. Techniques (including Lean) used in our approach will be highlighted as we go through our story.
Beyond the Crystal Ball –The Agile PMO - Heather Fleming and Justin RiservatoAtlassian
Perhaps we've set our project management officers (PMOs) up for failure. Without knowing it, we ask them to predict the future using a one-size-fits-all approach to best practices – and that just doesn't work. There is no magic crystal ball! Learn how an agile PMO can help your organization tackle the right work, at the right time, with the right teams using JIRA.
Leading a large-scale agile transformation isn’t about adopting a new set of attitudes, processes, and behaviors at the team level… it’s about helping your company deliver faster to market, and developing the ability to respond to a rapidly changing competitive landscape. First and foremost, it’s about achieving business agility. Business agility comes from people having clarity of purpose, a willingness to be held accountable, and the ability to achieve measurable outcomes. Unfortunately, almost everything in modern organizations gets in the way of teams acting with any sort of autonomy. In most companies, achieving business agility requires significant organizational change.
Agile transformation necessitates a fundamental rethinking of how your company organizes for delivery, how it delivers value to its customers, and how it plans and measures outcomes. Agile transformation is about building enabling structures, aligning the flow of work, and measuring for outcomes-based progress. It’s about breaking dependencies. The reality is that this kind of change can only be led from the top. This talk will explore how executives can define an idealized end-state for the transformation, build a fiscally responsible iterative and incremental plan to realize that end-state, as well as techniques for tracking progress and managing change.
Why do so many organizations struggle to put in place mature Agile teams that can apply proper Agile principles and deliver awesome products? Some people will say, “Agile is hard” as an excuse to not do Agile or to become frAgile. Well we think we have developed the “Secret Sauce” to rebooting any Agile team that just doesn’t seem to be maturing and we want to share it with you!
If you are thinking of scaling Agile across a large organization, then this talk is a must to attend to help ensure your teams have the right foundation. Organizations wanting to scale Agile must have a solid foundation of mature Agile teams who embrace the Agile values and have the right Agile mindset.
Over the years, as we have done Agile transformations in different organizations, we have seen common patterns that keep repeating. The most common pattern we found in our experience is that teams are frAgile. Too many either pretend to be Agile or don’t even know Agile is not a methodology, so organizations question the value of using Agile. Very often the confusion and frustration that comes with thinking that a team is Agile when they are not Agile, brings people right back to their old habits of command and control. Creating successful mature Agile teams is not sorcery, you need to discover the secret sauce!
In this talk, we will reveal our secrets on how to create a successful Agile-Scrum team in 5 sprints. Attendees will learn how we applied our secret sauce as we experimented with more than 30 teams and we refined the know-how. This recipe has proven to be successful in different organizations and teams delivering different types of products. Our Creative-Destruction approach goes through a human change process we labeled The Intervention Plan. The 5 steps are:
Step 1: Run in the rain
Step 2: Thunderstruck
Step 3: Start the M&M pain machine
Step 4: Open-up and look at the sun
Step 5: Removing the training wheels
And by using these 5 steps, attendees will discover the 5th Agile value!
The complexity in the simplicity of Agile? by Arie van BennekumAgile ME
Looking at Agile, it is so simple. In fact Agile is just structured common sense. Still so many people struggle to get their success in Agile. What is going on? The point is Agile, with all its simplicity, is based on different paradigms and the old paradigms hinder. The question is, can you identify thew old paradigms and furthermore, how do you change them. Arie van Bennekum will take you in his talk on his 22 years Agile journey and share his experience, successes, his delta’s and IATM, the Integrated Agile Transformation Model he developed for Agile transformations.

Culture eats everything for breakfast! by Vladimir KelavaBosnia Agile
Bez obzira koliko su dobre vaše strategije za vođenje organizacije/tima, one vam neće pomoći ako je organizacijska/timska kultura loša. Procesi i prakse su važni, ali jednako važni su i vrednosti i principi. Bez njih, temelj je slab i disfunkcionalan.
Organizacije koje ovo razumiju gaje kulturu koja se temelji na jasno definiranim vrednostima koje su vodići principi kako bi se ljudi trebali ponašati i komunicirati, kako bi se trebale donositi odluke i kako bi se trebale provoditi svakodnevne aktivnosti. U takvim organizacijama vrednosti nisu samo “random” reči na plakatima koji vise u kompanijskim hodnicima…i nisu opisane u opštim i hladnim tektovima na kompanijskim portalima.
Organizacije koje ozbiljno pristupaju ovoj temi ne opisuju svoju kulturu putem linkedin, fejsbuk i instagram objava na kojima ljudi igraju stolni tensi, stolni fudbal i ispijaju pivo…uz komentar - “Pogledajte našu sjajnu kulturu”. Nemam ništa protiv zabave 😉 ali….
Pridružite nam se na radionici ako želite da diskutujete:
Šta je uopšte organizaciona/timska kultura?
Uticaj kulture na organizaciju/timove
Kako gajiti organizacionu/timsku kulturu?
Kako jasno definirane vrednosti mogu koristiti vašoj organizaciji/timu?
Espoused vs Enacted vrednosti

Decoding Success in Pharma and e-Health by Lejla ZonićBosnia Agile
Over the past four years, I've collaborated extensively with pharmaceutical companies and engaged in various digital initiatives within the e-health sector. This experience has afforded me a deep understanding of the transformative role technology plays in the healthcare and pharma industries.
Today, clinics have hundreds of applications that streamline processes for patients, doctors, and administrative staff alike. These range from patient care to diet management, and even extend to organizational logistics, all thanks to advancements in IT. Particularly, these applications are revolutionizing areas like clinical trials and medical research, facilitating the testing of new medications and the continuous study of existing treatments. The beauty of digital applications lies in their ability to gather rich data from a broader participant base without the necessity of physical presence, which is a game-changer for patients with mobility issues.
Moreover, the rise of telemedicine and mobile health apps exemplifies how technology is not just supporting but also spearheading improvements in patient care and clinical guidelines. This evolution is paving the way for more precise, timely, and cost-effective medical research and drug development.
Historically, data collection in this field was a manual, paper-based process that required extensive travel and face-to-face interactions to meet demographic quotas and gather necessary information. Today, we have applications that integrate panel management, project tracking, and data analysis in one seamless interface, tailored to each pharmaceutical company's specific needs, and also many other sectors (like market research).
To sum up, this is about digital strategies addressing the challenges of the e-health sector and pharmaceutical industry.
Agile Experimentation in Everyday Life - A Guide to More Aha! moments by Milo...Bosnia Agile
In the realm of software development, the pursuit of accurate project estimation has been a perpetual challenge. Despite the rise of Agile methods, the specter of inaccurate estimation continues to cast a shadow over projects, leading to missed deadlines, exceeded budgets, and frustrated stakeholders.
Consider this: a groundbreaking study by the Standish Group in 1995 revealed that a staggering 31.1% of software projects were canceled before completion, with over 50% ending up costing nearly twice their initial estimates. Fast forward to the present day, and while Agile has undeniably transformed development practices, the issue of project estimation remains a thorny one.
While Agile projects boast a commendable success rate three times higher than traditional waterfall approaches, over 50% still grapple with time and cost overruns. The question then arises: why has Agile, with its iterative approach and emphasis on collaboration, not completely eradicated the problem of inaccurate estimation?
Agile introduced relative estimation, epitomized by story points, in contrast to the upfront man-day estimations of the past. However, the journey towards accurate estimation has been fraught with challenges. Despite their widespread adoption, story points have often fallen short, leading to counterintuitive outcomes. A case study within a prominent corporation revealed that stories rated lower in complexity took longer to complete than ostensibly more complex ones.
This dilemma underscores a fundamental truth: the challenge of estimation transcends estimation methods; it is deeply rooted in human nature. Our innate biases and tendencies toward optimism color our estimations, rendering them prone to error. To break free from this cycle, a paradigm shift is necessary—one that embraces a data-driven approach.
The answer: actionable agile metrics and probabilistic forecasting. By leveraging historical data, teams can move beyond guesswork toward informed decision-making. These metrics provide nuanced insights into team performance and project dynamics, empowering teams to make accurate predictions about future outcomes.
During this talk/presentation, I will share:
- the results of two studies by the Standish Group (1995, 2020)
- a case study about story points from one US corporation
- what metrics we need to gather as well as how (and why)
- some cool models and tools (through quick demos or screenshots)
In this illuminating talk, we'll demystify agile estimation, drawing from real-world examples and personal experiences. Attendees will gain practical insights into the tools and techniques that underpin effective estimation practices. By the end of the session, participants will be armed with actionable strategies and newfound knowledge to navigate the estimation challenge confidently, ensuring smoother sailing on their Agile journey.
Agile Experimentation in Everyday Life - A Guide to More Aha! moments by Milo...Bosnia Agile
When we say experiments, a classroom or a laboratory may be the first association, or possibly work (especially if you’re in tech or product). However, there’s a lot of universal value in experimentation, testing assumptions, and learning. The famous 'Inspect & Adapt' is not reserved for Scrum teams only, and it can be an important and positive approach to your life.
Agile experiments are important in our private life because they provide a framework for trying new things, learning from them, and making continuous improvements. We’re not living in a vacuum, and our realities are simply too complex for driving on ‘auto pilot’.
By setting goals, measuring results, and adapting based on regular feedback, we can make positive changes in our personal lives. On top, agile experimentation helps us overcome the fear of failure, since experiments are seen as an opportunity to learn and grow, rather than a test of our abilities (and value).
In this talk, I will share first-hand experiences, tips, and pitfalls for applying agile experimentation to our private life, fostering a growth mindset, improving problem-solving skills, and ultimately living a more interesting life.

How can Operational Value Streams Shape Your Product Strategy and Roadmap Suc...Bosnia Agile
Picture a world where every stakeholder within your organization effortlessly grasps and contributes to your Product Roadmaps. It may seem like an ideal scenario, but trust me, there are techniques available that can turn this vision into reality. Operational Value Streams provide a structured pathway for organizations to optimize their workflows, fostering collaboration and simplifying the visualization of your product roadmap.
Operational Value Streams, as delineated in the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe), offer a systematic approach to understanding and enhancing workflow across the organization. They play a pivotal role in aligning business objectives with the delivery of value to customers, enabling everyone involved to see the big picture and contribute to its realization.
A notable advantage of Operational Value Streams is their ability to offer end-to-end visibility into the product development lifecycle. By mapping out every stage and activity involved in bringing a product from concept to delivery, teams gain a comprehensive understanding of value generation and delivery.
This visibility empowers stakeholders at all levels to identify bottlenecks, inefficiencies, and areas for improvement within the value stream. By analyzing these insights, teams can streamline processes, minimize waste, and optimize resource allocation. This collaborative effort ensures that the Product Roadmap reflects the collective priorities of the organization and drives success.
We've witnessed the transformative power of Operational Value Streams firsthand. Whether it's for existing products or brand-new ventures, we've created operational value stream maps that have revolutionized the way organizations visualize and execute their product strategies. Embracing this approach has not only streamlined our workflows but has also fueled innovation and growth across the board. Join me on this journey toward simplified, attainable, and impactful Product Roadmaps.

Disciplined Agile: Past, present, and future. The path to true business agil...Bosnia Agile
What is Disciplined Agile? Where did it come from? Where is it going? How can it help me?
In your organization, you are very likely using a variety of approaches to deliver solutions to your stakeholders. You might be using traditional waterfall, agile, or hybrid approaches. If you are applying agile methods or frameworks you might be using Scrum, SAFe, Lean Kanban, or “roll your own” techniques. Regardless of what methods you are using, the Disciplined Agile (DA) tool kit can help you to be more effective. It is an agnostic, comprehensive library of strategies and practices, with practical advice for which ones work for in different contexts. Many organizations struggle to evolve an agile way of working (WoW) that makes sense for their unique situations. The good news is that you don't need to figure it out on your own. The DA tool kit leverages the experiences of thousands of teams who have already struggled through the very issues that our teams currently face. By referencing these strategies, you can accelerate your journey to project delivery success using a technique we call Guided Continuous Improvement (GCI).
This presentation explains the value of the Disciplined Agile tool kit and how to use it in practice with GCI across your entire organization, putting you on a path to true business agility.
