Comparing Stability and Sustainability in Agile SystemsRob Healy
Copy of the presentation given at XP2024 based on a research paper.
In this paper we explain wat overwork is and the physical and mental health risks associated with it.
We then explore how overwork relates to system stability and inventory.
Finally there is a call to action for Team Leads / Scrum Masters / Managers to measure and monitor excess work for individual teams.

The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.

8. Competitors strategies
-High spending on R&D (Apple and HP) that makes them to gain high profit margins
- Distribution strategy of competitors include direct marketing as Dell, distribute in
public retailers as Wal-Mart or exclusive stores as Apple.
-Lowering cost to get back to profitability (Gateway)
-Acquisition of other companies (HP acquire Compaq)
-Asian competitors (Acer, Toshiba and Lenovo) win at emerging markets and
developing countries.
-Apple introduce I-pad and cannibalized 25% of notebook sales
-IBM, HP and oracle had advantages over Dell in introducing services for their
customers
IBM had sold its laptop, hard drive, and printer businesses to focus on building its
services business.
- HP acquired Electronic Data Systems in 2008 to boost its expertise in services.
9. SWOT analysis
• Strengths
• Strong market position supported by strong brand value
• Strong sales and marketing*Differentiated Products
• Because of its direct model, Dell was able to be described as having a differentiated product.
Every PC assembled would be somewhat different from the previous based on customer
order.
• Customer Service
• After sale customer service was another one of Dell’s strengths. A customer with a problem
could reach a technical support staff through a “hotline that was manned 24 hours a day”
• Dell’s Direct Model allowed Dell to manufacture machines that were “modified tocustomer
needs” and based on Just -in-Time inventory* Dell's brand is one of the best known in the
world.* Sell directly to consumers* Keep costs below competitors
10. SWOT analysis
• Weaknesses
• Customers cannot go to retailers because Dell does not use distribution channels.
• Low market share in the International Market
• Compared to its rivals, Dell had a low market share in the international market.
• They build computers, not develop them.
• They have weak business relationships with many computer retailers.
• They do not have unique technologies to offer the market.
11. SWOT analysis
• Opportunities
• European Market Dell has an opportunity to increase its market share in the European
market.
• Growing Economy Increasing growth in the economy is an opportunity for Dell to increase its
market share and at the same time production as well.
• Increased communication and technological inclusion also create great opportunities for Dell
• Threats
• Strong Brands in the Market (IBM)
• Changing Consumer Needs
• Increasingly popular brand name in the competition
• Increasingly lower prices for product amount for their competitors
12. Firm strategies issues
• No investment in R&D
• Distribution strategy issues
• No innovation
• Closing company’s desktop plants due to cost pressure
• sales is centralized in USA
•After sales service and customer service quality became to be average
• Servers, software and consulting is weak point when compared to competitors
• Dell’s emphasis on cost reduction and competitive pricing meant that it was no
longer perceived as providing high-quality personal computers or the quality service to
go with them.
16. Mission & Vision

19. Corporate level
•Michael Dell in 1995 after huge growth he temporarily slowed the corporation’s growth
strategy while he worked to assemble and integrate a team of experienced executives
from companies like Motorola, Hewlett-Packard, and Apple.
•Instead of spending its money on new computer technology, Dell waited until a new
technology became a standard. Michael Dell explained that soon after a technology
product arrived on the market, it was a high-priced, high-margin item made differently
by each company. Over time, the technology standardized—the way PCs standardized
around Intel microprocessors and Microsoft operating systems.
20. Line of business level
•Distribution strategy
firstly Management decided in 1995 to abandon distribution of Dell’s products through
U.S. retail stores and return solely to direct distribution.
Over time, Dell’s competitors had imitated Dell’s direct marketing model, but were also
successfully selling through retail outlets.
A presence in retail was becoming especially important in countries outside North
America. Sales in these countries were often based on the advice of sales staff, putting
Dell’s “direct only” business model at a disadvantage. In response, Dell began shipping
its products in 2007 to major U.S. and Canadian retailers, such as Wal-Mart, Sam’s Club,
Staples, and Best Buy. This was soon followed by sales elsewhere in the world through
DSGI, GOME, and Carrefour, among others, to number over 56,000 outlets worldwide
21. Line of business level
•In other lines rather than desktop
Dell (along with HP) offered x86 open-system servers. In order to better compete in the
large enterprise market segment, Dell purchased Perot Systems, an IT services company, in
2009.
Even after this acquisition, however, services accounted for only 13% of Dell’s sales.
22. Function level
2007, when Michael Dell resumed being the company’s CEO, Dell has made more than
10 acquisitions, cut about 10,000 jobs, and hired executives from Motorola and Nike to
add more excitement to its product line.

23. Function level
Manufacturing
Dell drove down costs further
by perfecting its manufacturing processes
and using its buying power to obtain
cheaper parts.
