This document discusses continuous risk management and organizational health. It advocates focusing on healthy teams and projects rather than just risk management. An approach is presented for monitoring health attributes like morale, collaboration, and delivery through dashboards and metrics. Continuous risk management involves team collaboration, responding to risks as part of the normal iterative process through daily standups, planning sessions, and retrospectives. This makes risk management part of the regular workflow rather than a separate activity.

Editor's Notes
- Risk Management isn’t typically done well- Either its not done at all or pretty poor- Usually left to Project Managers (even in Agile)- Boring, Negative and in ExcelRisk is all about Culture- Healthy Kids and teams
- Dont be a negative thinkerThis project is too big to failWe all knew it was never going to work, but nobody did anythingIf I raise a problem I will have to fix itIt’s a managers job to monitor risk – let me get one with coding…We jus talk about watermelon reporting here – having a slide for it I think is overkill as it was at AA2012
- To create a positive, healthy culture, where motivated people create great products and embrace risk

- Successful delivery of projects require healthy teams and healthy projects. High performance teams deliver and improve when the health of system is in a good state. Monitoring the health of a team and the project provides a wellness check, a more positive and preventative mechanism that the team can use to track and communicate its own state that can sometimes be missed, misunderstood or not communicated.The two elements of health are the team and the project. Both can be monitored in different ways and should be owned and discussed by the team. The proposed essential elements for health are…

- Hand-over to James
- Agile smells – common term been used… we smell something is wrong – not a pleasant termExplain the rose, rat and fish and what they meanWell we do this but in more with more rigour and transparency
- We can take the health attributes that we saw earlier which are more softer, intangible attributes and add to them some more tangible and Agile/Technical project and team related attributes
- We break down health into two groups, tangible and intaigble related to their ease of monitoringMoraleVibe, Mood, Motivation, Engagement etcCollaborationAcross functions, Pairs, swarming etcLeadership SupportHow support are the team by leadership, impediments, guidance, decision making, clarity etcPeak PerformanceWhere do the team think there are in terms of peak performance
- So how can we use these attributesBVC is an agile conceptWe have build montiorsWhy not health monitors
- Putting this into practice we use the health dashboardBig screenUpdated every week or iteration or day – you chooseViewable from a distance – a build monitor for your heatlhHealth monitoring should start a conversation, like a user story
- Build it inMake it normal – do health and risk as part of your normal operationStand-ups etcHold meetings that focus on it or build it into your retrospectives
