The document discusses how to clean up Agile and ensure it remains clean. It begins by examining why Agile has become a "dirty word" in some places due to failures when not properly implemented. Some signs that Agile is "dirty" include standardized tools that don't work for all cases, developers unable to get work done, and a cycle of declining trust. The document then provides techniques for cleaning up Agile, such as focusing on outcomes over processes, empowering teams, and eliminating waste. It suggests metrics for knowing if changes have worked, like autonomous cross-functional teams and a learning culture. Finally, it recommends staying ahead by continually learning and improving, measuring the right things, and understanding that Agile is about

The T-Shaped Scrum Team: Get in Shape for Your FutureTechWell
This document discusses the concept of a "T-shaped" team member in an agile context. It begins by explaining the T-shape concept, which refers to team members having both broad generalist skills as well as deep expertise in one area. It then discusses how specialists can still be valuable on agile teams if other members have overlapping skills. The document provides examples of how multi-skilled "T-shaped" members allow a team to better balance work across sprints. It also discusses strategies for individuals to develop broader skills through coaching, mentoring, teaching and collaborating with others. Finally, it outlines characteristics of effective T-shaped team members and the cultural implications of moving towards this model.
Scaling Agile: Remembering Tolstoy’s Unhappy Family AnalogyTechWell
While Agile has become mainstream at the team level with much research and practical experience, scaling agile to the enterprise is a topic of increasing interest and practice—with some successes and some spectacular failures. As Tolstoy wrote, “Happy families are all alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.” Mariya Breyter shares anti-patterns for scaling agile that you need to recognize quickly and change right away. Most agile scaling frameworks address agile processes and organizational structures. However, Mariya thinks it is time to look at agile scaling from the perspective of individual team members: developers, architects, testers, or any member of a cross-functional agile team. Using examples from multiple companies that she transitioned to agile at scale, Mariya describes how you can enhance your agile implementation at the enterprise level and avoid the pitfalls that can sink an enterprise agile program.
This talk was held at the Trifork, GOTO Night in Zurich on October, 14 2013.
Abstract
In few industries the benefits of new, agile forms of working were more visible than in software development. Strict deadlines, highly intelligent knowledge workers, and products that – if not built correctly – were very vulnerable to errors. The philosophy of Agile offered many answers and solutions to improve working methods in software development. Management, however, was hardly addressed.
The Scrum Framework does not define the role “Manager”. Instead Scrum is about self-organisation and teams, but there is not even a team lead. Many people draw the conclusion that we should get rid of managers and officially state them as the main obstacle when introducing Agile into the organisation. Are they right or completely wrong? In this talk Mischa Ramseyer takes a closer look at the role and duties of Management in Agile Organisations so that you are able to answer the question “Do we need Management in Scrum” by yourself.
This document provides an overview of applying antifragility principles beyond agile. It discusses how agile frameworks have led to semantic diffusion and failed transformations. It proposes using agile as a springboard for higher-order thinking around antifragility. The document presents a unified model moving from "red" Taylorist principles to "teal" antifragile principles. It argues that organizations must escape frameworks to become option-aware, option-seeking, and option-generating across boundaries through experiments and simple rules. The goal is for organizations to develop antifragility across their entire ecosystem.
The document discusses promoting technical excellence in agile development. It advocates for practices like test-driven development, automated testing, and refactoring code to ensure high quality. It also encourages managers to focus on quality over schedules and allow time for developers to practice techniques like testing.
In small development organizations, software teams are usually able to deliver value independently of other teams. In these organizations, it is easy to give teams total autonomy. What happens as the company and systems grow to where there are multiple teams to organize and deliver value together? Usually the response from the leadership team is to align the teams, but that alignment is usually at the expense of the teams’ autonomy. How are teams supposed to be both aligned and autonomous? What is the role of leadership in both aligning the teams around a common purpose and building the environment so the teams remain autonomous?
In this session we’re going to learn how to be an empowering leader who uses alignment as a pre-condition to high autonomy. We’ll learn a recipe for creating alignment and how having alignment and autonomy relates to Daniel Pink’s Autonomy, Mastery, Purpose and to David Marquet’s Leader’s Give Control models.
Scaling approaches comparison - Lean/Agile US 2017Yuval Yeret
The document compares different approaches for scaling agile, including SAFe (Scaled Agile Framework), LeSS (Large Scale Scrum), and program/portfolio Kanban. It notes that most experts agree teams should only scale when they cannot effectively divide work. When dependencies exist between teams, options include SAFe, LeSS, or using a program/portfolio Kanban approach to visualize work. The document asks questions to help determine the best scaling approach based on factors like guidance needed, agility required, and leadership commitment to change.
Dev up 2016 Demystifying the scaled agile frameworkAngela Dugan
Just when companies seems to be warming up to agile, here comes SCALED agile. But how is SAFe really different than agile? Does using the SAFe framework undermine the scrum teams? Isn’t SAFe just a glorified version of waterfall that companies adopt when they can’t handle “real” agile? I decided the best solution was to go through the training and spend some time practicing it in the field. What I found was that SAFe leverages the best of Lean, Kanban, and scrum. SAFe is intended for large, enterprise customers delivering extremely complex and interdependent systems, but that doesn’t mean it offers nothing to smaller teams. Since becoming a Safe program consultant, I have coached a number of my smaller customers on improving their software development and delivery processes leveraging techniques from SAFe. In this interactive session, I plan to quickly walk through the tenets of SAFe, share some of my learnings with you, and help you to understand when and how SAFe can benefit your team!
Building Hyperproductive Agile Teams: Leveraging What Science KnowsTechWell
The key impediments that prevent many organizations from ever realizing the promise of agile and lean aren’t rooted in processes or tools. The impediments stem from the organization’s leaders. Sharing an interdisciplinary overview of the most compelling science and research in the aspects of team performance, Michael DePaoli shows that it is largely ignored. Michael presents a holistic model for building lean/agile teams that combines what science knows enables teams to achieve that elusive state of “flow.” He describes the key external forces—safety for learning, team formation, team tasking, the motivational system, and leadership style—that affect an agile team’s ability to achieve flow. Learn the basics of this model and how Michael is applying it with clients today. Use this model to build your teams and drive agile at scale while evolving the broader organization to harness the promise of agile and lean product development.

Using SAFe to Manage U.S. Government Agencies, Portfolios, & Acquisition Prog...David Rico
Highly-practical overview of the growth of the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) 4.5 for managing multi-billion dollar U.S. Government portfolios of Petabyte-Scale Cloud-Computing Data Center-based Repositories. Starts with a brief definition and overview of portfolio management, agile timelines, government adoption, sample of competing lean and agile frameworks, and then goes into a deep-dive and cross examination of SAFe 4.5's major anatomical elements. Focuses on principles of lean and agile portfolio management, leadership, business value, and, more importantly the lean and agile value system itself. Clears up nagging misconceptions concerning SAFe, like it’s undeserved reputation as a heavy, unproven WIP-intensive traditional framework (by focusing on lean and agile thinking, practical real-world business value, and the softer principles of the agile manifesto like conversations, visualizations, flexibility, simplicity, and continuous improvement).
