This document contains slides from a presentation on embracing agile leadership. It discusses how agile projects can fail due to issues like a lack of management support, inconsistent processes, and organizational culture clashes. Common causes of failed agile projects are listed, with the top issue being a mismatch between company philosophy and agile values. The presentation emphasizes that leadership can mitigate many failure risks and outlines agile principles, practices like Scrum and Kanban, scaling techniques, and developing leadership agility. It argues the need for leaders to empower teams through coaching and collaboration instead of directing.

From Technical Debt to Technical HealthDeclan Whelan
Everyone agrees that technical debt is a burden on software innovation that we would rather avoid, and certainly clean up whenever possible. However, in most organizations, people don't prevent technical debt nearly as much as they should, and they don't ever get the time to clean it up. Why, then, if there are clear incentives to deal with technical debt, is it a rampant problem?
In this session, we will focus on how to deal with technical debt on several levels, including the individual developer, the team, the software value stream, and the larger organization. While technical debt may manifest itself in a developer's IDE, the problem starts long before the developer decides to copy and paste some code, or creates an overly-complex and under-documented class. The pressures on teams and individuals to take on more debt than they should come from many sources. Therefore, the solutions to the technical debt problem must extend beyond the team.
Introduction to Recipes for Agile Governance in the Enterprise (RAGE)Cprime
Large enterprises that develop software cannot function without structure, but often develop structures that cripple productivity and impair responsiveness to customer needs. This Webinar introduces an approach to building effective structures by introducing the concept of Agile governance.
Agile governance provides formalized practices for decision making (governance) which incorporate the principles of the Agile Manifesto and Lean Engineering. The result is a set of simple recipes for selecting, planning, organizing, and tracking work at all levels in the organization (the Portfolio, Program, and Project levels), which apply within or across Business Units. We also provide guidance on how to develop new recipes, when needed.
This webinar introduces the basic concepts of Agile governance. We will look at some existing concepts (such as Scrum of Scrums and SAFe), and lay the foundations for subsequent webinars that address specific scenarios of common interest.
Being Agile, Doing Agile and Agile in Crisis: We have the Agile Industrial Complex, Dark Agile, Faux/Fake Agile, Zombie Scrum, Flaccid Scrum, CrAgile, FrAgile, WAgile, and more. What do they all mean, and how do we know if we are doing them instead of "Being Agile"
These slides--based on the webinar featuring leading IT analyst firm Enterprise Management Associates (EMA) and IBM--reveal the challenges of managing today’s complex IT environments and the benefits associated with moving to a true hybrid IT management approach.
While there are a many frameworks available to scale Agile it is important to see if these prescriptions address the real problems that an organization have while scaling up. Does one size fits all? Is it worth adopting a framework and then retrofitting your organization into it or it makes more sense to understand the dynamics of your organization, understand the existing challenges and business objectives and carve out a scaling approach, keeping Agile principles intact, that suits the organizations needs best.
Lets explore DIY framework
Mary Henson (CEO of the DSDM consortium) introduced Dr. Islam Choudhury (Ass. Professor Kingston University) who then explained the ‘DSDM’ project framework.
DSDM has a venerable pedigree, pre-dating the Agile Manifesto by many years. Recently it has been recognised as a useful project and framework, and Islam explained how it can provide a project layer around team level methods such as Scrum.

The results are in, and the conclusion is clear: Agile methods produce better results for knowledge work. Corporations have initiated large-scale Agile transformations in order to achieve these benefits across the entire organization. These transformations often involve retraining, retooling, re-organizing into “squads” and hiring dozens or hundreds of Scrum Masters and Agile coaches. Sadly, these efforts are rarely successful. Why?
Simply put, team agility does not produce business agility. By focusing exclusively on the team level, the organization fails to solve three main problems: no Agile interactions between teams, no end-to-end management of the value streams, and no Agile strategic portfolio management. In addition, the organization has failed to realize that the Agile team structure does not have to match the reporting structure. While it may ultimately make sense to reorganize reporting relationships, that should be done last, not first.
In this talk, I will introduce the Flight Levels model and the Kanban Maturity Model. The Flight Level framework recognizes that there are three different levels on which work should be visualized and coordinated: the strategy/portfolio level, the coordination/value-stream level, and the operational/team level. The Kanban Maturity Model helps us understand the current level of organizational maturity and choose practices that take us to the learning zone and avoid the “panic” zone of emotional resistance. Working with Agile teams who may be using Kanban, Scrum, SAFe, LeSS, or Disciplined Agile, we will explore how this model dramatically simplifies the problem and show how it has enabled real business agility.

How Agile Can We Go? Lessons Learned Moving from WaterfallTechWell
How agile are you? Once you jump off the waterfall and drink from the agile pool, there will probably be varying opinions as to the state of the organization’s agility. Some will be concerned that they are not agile enough; others will think they are agile while still adhering to old waterfall principles. Adapting to agile requires process changes that can cause friction within and between teams. Max McGregor’s organization Venafi has several teams working on multiple projects, spread worldwide. Even after a number of software releases using agile methods, teams still have challenges. Max provides insight into one mid-sized organization’s evolution through this process—where it’s working well, what the biggest challenges are, and what’s being done to increase its success with agile. Join Max to determine how agile you can or should become, and take back new ideas and methods to your teams to help them succeed.
In many ways, the Agile Manifesto gives us a road-map and lays a firm foundation for efficient software development.
There are naysayers among those who swear by traditional methods; but these criticisms do not hold water because the
entire agile movement rests on robust methodologies and concepts. So what does this augur for the future? No one can
tell with certainty.
Agility encompasses believing and relying on one's ability to respond to unpredictable events, rather than banking on the
competence to indulge in pre-planning. At the end of the day, the methodologies remind us that even though we create
and work with software, the human element, and the resultant collaboration it enhances, is all too important in the larger
scheme of things.

The organization projects have a different strategical plan that can help in enterprise goals achievements. There are some of the projects that require some of the bulky of the activities that will help the business management to achieve the implemented goals and objectives using different ideas. There is a uniqueness of the project that can be detected to show some of the differences in the process and ensuring there is goals achievement in the completion of the project process. It is important to consider timelines when expecting the completion of the project.
The projects and daily activities have some of the differences since the projects take too long for its completion while daily activities take a short period. The implementation of the daily activities requires the business to have a continuous operation as deployed by business management. Moreover, the daily activities have no indicated date or schedule plans which are implemented in the project process to help in achieving the business goals.
The organization should create group management to help in making better decisions that will lead to effective practices that will increase the effectiveness of the project management by considering the team members' support and idea-sharing. The organization project should be recorded to make a comparison in some of the areas such as members' roles and responsibilities. Moreover, business management is recommended to focus on some of the areas where they consider the quality of the project's goals achievements. According to Jissink, Rohrbeck, & Schweitzer (2017), the implementation of the group or project team requires effective leadership skills to help in influencing the members for the project successful completion.
Ultimately, some of the challenges occur due to the use of information technology in some areas. The cybersecurity has been issued that interferes with most of the projects since there are some of the members that can leak the information to other business competitors thus exposing the business project planning. Moreover, the budget allocation can also be affected by the use of IT thus creating difficulties in project management, Papke-Shields, & Boyer-Wright (2017). The project's uniqueness should consider some of the needs in planning and having effective preparation for successful project completion.

The organization is progressively setting out for massive scope change projects to adjust to a continually changing business condition. An assortment of elements impacts the multifaceted nature of projects along these lines making their extension hard to characterize and oversee. For these projects to accomplish their key objectives, it can't be essential to break down their degree into controllable constituents, yet additionally to line the pieces back again into a durable entirety.

Drupal GovCon 2021 - The MOST Important Agile Role NO ONE is Talking AboutBill Annibell
This might not be a popular opinion, but the Scrum Master is NOT the most important role on an Agile team - GASP!. If not the Scrum Master, then who? Product Owners are the most overlooked, underfunded, and misunderstood roles no one is talking about as it relates to the success (or failure) of Agile-based delivery in government. Join me to find out how government agencies can have more success by understanding the criticality of the Product Owner role and how by investing in the Product Owner and Product Management roles can lead to more predictable product (not project) delivery, happier customers, and a more successful mission.
Genuine agility at scale through LeSS Product Ownership - April 2018Rowan Bunning
Scrum is too often seen as a way for development to deliver faster without concern for agility, customer value optimisation or learning. Whilst there may be a role called “Product Owner”, it may be subordinated to little more than a team-centric SME taking orders from stakeholders and feeding “stories” to a team. In this session, we explore how the LeSS (Large-Scale Scrum) guidance on the Product Owner role can be used to address these problems and achieve scalable agility at a whole of customer-centric product level, no matter how many teams contribute.
Learning objectives:
- Recognise the limitations that you may be experiencing with the Product Owner implementation at your organisation
- Be aware of well proven patterns for scaling the Product Owner role to endeavours involving dozens or hundreds of people
- Be equipped to have an informed conversation about how your organisation can increase agility at scale.
