Learning from the fast developing practice of Lean IT by Steve BellInstitut Lean France
If ERP can become agile, promote standardized work, reduce information waste and errors, and enable data-driven decision making, can it add value to a Lean enterprise?
If you practice the four Lean principles well,
but don’t focus on value streams and their owners,
will Lean IT produce sustainable results?

Leveraging Lean for IT and research transformation by Jeromy MarkwortInstitut Lean France
In 2012, the IT division of a U.S. national research and development laboratory with over 4,500 staff began their Lean IT journey. After working with Mike Orzen, a pioneer in Lean IT, the organization is learning to embrace small incremental change, trial and discovery, and value the answer to the question "what did we learn?" There is an metaphor that says, "the best way to eat an elephant is one bite at a time," but our tendency is to bite off more than we can chew often leading to failed deployments, partially or improperly built solutions or unfunded grandiose multi-year projects. Jeromy Markwort, Lean IT coach at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory presents what the IT organization has learned so far on their Lean journey.

This document summarizes a presentation given by Michael Jones of eBay on applying lean and agile principles to content management. The key points are:
1) A small team of content managers at eBay experimented with agile techniques like user stories, daily standups, and retrospectives over 12 weeks to make their work more visible and collaborative.
2) They started with low-tech solutions like sticky notes but realized some tasks added workload, so they rolled back. They also extended sprints from 1 to 2 weeks.
3) The team observed benefits like easier reporting, better workload estimation, and transparency, but still struggled with task estimation and have more to learn from other teams.
4) Next steps
In this presentation, Mike Orzen covers the roles of Managers and Leaders in a Lean IT environment, addressing common challenges and ways to overcome them.

How do you implement ITSM successfully?
Implementing ITSM within an organisation is a tricky prospect. Many organisations try to implement something like ITIL several times before succeeding. For the team charged with changing the mind-set and working practises of a whole organisation, which is what an ITSM implementation actually is, the task can be overwhelming.
Join Eddie Potts, Principal ITSM Consultant at Pink Elephant EMEA, as he maps out an approach to successful ITSM implementations and discusses why many projects fail and how yours can succeed!

Technical Debt: A Management Problem That Requires a Management SolutionScott W. Ambler
The primary cause of technical debt in your organization is very likely your managers – not your programmers nor your architects. The management desire to be “on time and on budget” often motivates deployment of poor-quality assets and rarely leaves room for investment in long-term quality. Although technical professionals may readily realize this problem managers often do not, or if they do they don’t view technical debt as a priority. It is time for a change.
This presentation explores the root causes of technical debt within organizations, many of which trace back to the management mindset and the strategies that result from it. Just like the technical challenges of addressing technical debt must be addressed by technical solutions, the management challenges of technical debt must be addressed by management solutions. It works through how to make leadership aware of technical debt and its implications, how to evolve your management practices to avoid and address technical debt, and enterprise-level strategies to embed technical debt thinking and behaviors into your culture. Results from industry research are shared throughout.
Governing Agile Teams: Disciplined Strategies to Increase Agile EffectivenessTechWell
Many organizations have successfully adopted agile on a subset of their projects, while, at the same time, struggled to do so across entire departments. A common challenge is the need to overhaul the IT governance strategy so that it will work with agile teams. This is a serious issue for governance bodies with little or no practical agile experience, particularly when experience shows that traditional governance strategies increase the risk of failure on agile projects. Scott Ambler introduces The Disciplined Agile Delivery framework for managing and monitoring enterprise agile teams. This framework goes beyond offering an IT governance strategy to provide advanced strategies such as development intelligence and the goal-question-metric measurement approach. Learn the do’s and don’ts of governing agile teams, how governance fits in and enhances the agile project lifecycle, how to measure agile teams, and most importantly, why teams should demand good governance.
“Technical debt” refers to any quality issues within the implementation of an IT solution that hampers your ability to work with or evolve that solution. Technical debt is often thought of as a source code problem, but it also occurs in your user interface design, in your data sources, in your network architecture, and in many other places. This presentation explores disciplined agile strategies to avoid technical debt in the first place, to remove existing technical debt, and how to fund the removal of technical debt. Industry data regarding technical debt will be shared.
Many organisations struggle to implement a successful ITSM program, with multiple attempts at the same issue being undertaken with almost clockwork like regularity every 3-4 years. But why is it so hard to implement an ITSM framework that delivers real business value? How does a Program Manager even approach this issue? Where is the checklist for implementation success?
Join Peter Hubbard, Pink Elephant EMEA, as he maps out a structured approach to successful implementation of an ITSM initiative. He will discuss the considerations of which processes should be attempted first, the importance of the toolset, and, the one underlying area that is almost always neglected but is responsible for the failure of over 60% of all ITSM implementation projects; The people who have to work in alignment with the new world. And yes…. There will even be a checklist for implementation success. Watch recording here https://www.brighttalk.com/webcast/10001/153595
The document outlines Scott Ambler's presentation on DevOps in the enterprise. The presentation introduces DevOps and various views on DevOps, including continuous delivery, Agile delivery and operations, and Disciplined DevOps. It discusses the benefits of DevOps and the DevOps mindset. The presentation then explores how to choose an area of focus or "Way of Working" for DevOps efforts through continuous improvement, guided continuous improvement, and combining strategies. It provides examples of choices in lifecycles, process goals, and process blades. The document concludes by announcing upcoming webinars and training from the Disciplined Agile Consortium on DevOps and Agile transformations.
Measuring Agile: A Disciplined Approach To MetricsScott W. Ambler
This presentation works through important questions that people have about metrics on agile teams, principles around how to be effective with your agile metrics strategy, how to measure agile teams following a lightweight approach to GQM, potential metrics to collect about agile teams, and how to support IT governance through effective metrics rollups.
Middle Management in an Agile World webcastMark Lines
This document discusses the role of middle management in agile organizations. It notes several important trends, such as teams performing traditional management tasks, new leadership roles emerging, stable team structures, and less status reporting. For managers, it means less direct work but roles in leadership, support, and coaching teams. The document outlines potential specialized management roles at scale and discusses how managers can empower teams, create the right environment, assess performance, and get on board with agile approaches. It emphasizes trusting teams to get work done and continuous learning.

G3 Model – A Practical Lean Approach to Improve Technology Delivery in Banks
Mr. Philippe Guenet, Executive Delivery Manager, GFT
2008 was not only the bursting of the credit bubble, but also the explosion of the technical debt in banks. Years / decades of silo-organisations, growth based acquisition and IT legacy led to high cost of ownership and quasi paralysis when faced with high demand on technology resulting from Regulatory changes and Digitalisation. The adoption of Agile aimed to change this but it is slow coming. As a professional service organisation we often feel powerless, like most of our stakeholders, in driving better software delivery lifecycle. We have analysed the blockers step by step and established a new delivery model mixing Lean and Agile to overcome the constraints. In this talk we will review the typical patterns of IT waste and the practical solutions we experimented with to drive a more efficient delivery of technology – now in its 3rd generation (G3 model).

Cultural Change is one of the hardest things to crack within any organisation, let alone within IT. IT is fast paced - moving responsively to the business, technological and even public requirements. However, a required cultural shift from within is rarely successful. On average a mere 30% of Cultural Change Initiatives are successful, and a lot can be lost when it fails!
Join Helen Windle, ITSM Consultant, as she guides you through the key points to get it right first time.
A fundamental philosophy from the early days of Agile, and particularly of XP, is that teams should own their process. Today we would say that they should be allowed, and better yet, enabled, to choose their own way of working (WoW).
This was a powerful vision, but it was quickly abandoned to make way for the Agile certification gold rush. Why do the hard work of learning your craft, of improving your WoW via experimentation and learning, when you can instead become a certified master of an agile method in two days or a program consultant of a scaling framework in four? It sounds great, and certainly is great for anyone collecting the money, but 18 years after the signing of the Agile Manifesto as an industry we’re nowhere near reaching Agile’s promise. Nowhere near it.
We had it right in the very beginning, and the lean community had it right all along – teams need to own their process, they must be enabled to choose their WoW. To do this we need to stop looking for easy answers, we must reject the simplistic solutions that the agile industrial complex wants to sell us, and most importantly recognize that we need #NoFrameworks.
This webinar is presented by Eddie Potts, Senior Service Management Consultant, who recently completed an MBA achieving a Distinction. His study included a research project concerning the "implementation of service management”.
Eddie previously delivered a successful webinar about “Implementing Service Management” in which he compared and contrasted the real life practice to the academic theory concerning service management implementations which can be found on our BrightTALK channel.

The document discusses how ITIL and DevOps approaches can work together at a large bank, ING. It describes how ING transitioned to more agile development methods over time from 2011-2015. There was initially a divide between risk management wanting to use full ITIL and DevOps teams finding ITIL too administrative. However, the document proposes ways to make ITIL processes more lean and integrated with agile approaches. For example, reserving sprint capacity for incidents, minimizing technical debt, and automating configuration management. The conclusion is that ITIL and agile/DevOps are not in conflict and both provide value when the processes are made lean and both sides understand each other's expertise.
The document discusses the changing role of the CIO at Banque Internationale à Luxembourg. It describes how the CIO role has evolved from focusing on keeping systems running locally to now driving business transformation and aligning IT strategies with organizational strategies as a key player at the executive level. The CIO of Caceis Luxembourg provides examples from his experience of how the IT department has transitioned from managing systems locally to working on group-wide projects and initiatives across multiple countries. He outlines his vision for the CIO role, including fostering closer collaboration between IT and business units and using technology to help the company innovate and reduce costs.

Ingrid Algra, IT Chapter lead, ING
ING is a worldwide financial institution, based in the Netherlands. The IT department of the Netherlands manages a mix of off the shelf applications and in house built software. Traditionally development was governed by CMMi and IT Servicemanagement by ITIL processes. Three years ago the developers started working in Agile/Scrum teams, dropping CMMi. The next step was to involve Operations as well and transform to an DevOps organisation, striving for Continuous Delivery.
In a lot of Agile organisation ITIL is considered the evil soul sucking epiphany of bureaucracy. But is it really? If we look at the tasks you perform in the ITIL processes Incident management, Problem management and Change management, you will find that a lot of those you still need to perform in an Agile/Scrum way of work. And that there actually is a lot of value in making some rules on how we want to interact in these processes between teams. But we may call the task differently than we were used to in ITIL. And we may choose to use different tools to handle parts of the process. We call this adaptation of ITIL Agile ITSM.
This talk focuses on the adaptations we have made to our ITSM processes to accommodate the requirements of an Agile/Scrum way of work. Proving that there is still value in a lot of the things we used to do in ITIL And that there is no real conflict between Agile and ITIL.

And that there actually is a lot of value in making some rules on how we want to interact in these processes between teams. But we may call the task differently than we were used to in ITIL. And we may choose to use different tools to handle parts of the process. We call this adaptation of ITIL Agile ITSM.
This talk focuses on the adaptations we have made to our ITSM processes to accommodate the requirements of an Agile/Scrum way of work. Proving that there is still value in a lot of the things we used to do in ITIL And that there is no real conflict between Agile and ITIL.

Career implications for the Business Analyst in the age of digital disruptionLivingstone Advisory
The fact that business and societal change is being fueled by innovative, emerging and disruptive information technologies is well known. Its impacts being felt in almost every facet of life. However, the forces driving the evolution and adoption of such technologies are complex, diverse and not always well understood. In addition, the rate of change is accelerating.
Knowledge intensive IT careers, once considered to be at the forefront of information technology developments are being progressively impacted by the new world of IT, shifting customer expectations and business change.
Question is, how will the IT professions - in particular, the BA - be redefined? More importantly what steps should the BA profession consider taking now, to ensure its continued relevance in years to come

Building a Lean Agile Enterprise
The first Agile pilot at the domestic bank of ING Netherlands started at the end of 2010. Since that moment agility said foot in our IT department. Now we find ourselves in the middle of a transition we didn’t dare to think of in our wildest dreams. We are scaling up to more than 100 Agile teams with all the challenges but also all the advantages this brings.
In this session we will explore the Agile transition through the eyes of a Lean Agile coach. This session will cover:
• some of the interventions that brought us this far, but also
• the many mistakes we made on our way, and of course
• the challenges that are still ahead of us in our constant strive for agility
Lean and ITIL: reaching to the (hidden) face of the moon by Nicolas Stampf, BP2iInstitut Lean France
ITILv2 certifies people, not organizations. Yet it’s a library of good practices that organizations are supposed to follow. So, with predefined processes as a North Star to reach for, it’s very attractive to wanting to use Lean to improve them. Yet, when you first grasp the situation, you soon discover that the shiny, fixed, paper Moon map is nowhere to be found in reality. The further you look, the more you understand that there’s something else to that...
At the Lean IT Summit 2013, Nicolas Stampf reported the story of an adventurous exploration of the hidden side of the moon...

IT delivering only what Customer orders is a species that will become extinct soon. Customers expect much more nowadays than just yet another IT supplier. They need reliable long term partners helping them to continually reach their challenging business goals. We, as Lean/Agile mentors, often play the role of a mediator between traditional IT companies and their customers. In our presentation we will share our experience coming from that role in form of practical hints how to evolve IT to version 2.0 and the necessary prerequisites to make such a change happen, both for Customer and his IT 2.0 partner.
Benefits of Lean IT and it's importance.
The world is a merry-go-round and you can't get off. Customers are becoming more demanding, markets are becoming more customised, and product life-cycles that are getting shorter are just a few of the reasons why Lean could be important to you. As the demands on our processes increase they evolve and adapt accordingly which often results in processes that end up inefficient and wasteful. Lean is about challenging the way things are done and opening our eyes to that waste and inefficiency. The environment in which an organization operates will continue to change; Lean can help organizations meet the challenge.
Lean can provide an organization with a clear competitive advantage since the correct application of the Lean principles will realise substantial benefits that include:
- Greater productivity
- Greater throughput
- Improved quality
- Reduced cycle times
- Less fire-fighting
- Smoother operation
- Reduced operating costs

The IT team at a company implemented Lean principles and saw many improvements as a result. They reduced support time from 25 hours per week to 10 hours, decreased the backlog of projects from 100 to 60, and increased customer satisfaction scores close to 100 from an initial 67. The team also took pride in their work as bugs decreased and development costs were reduced due to the new Lean processes around visual management, problem solving, and aligning team and customer goals.
Why kanban is the secret to scale your tech team by Marc-Antoine Lacroix QontoInstitut Lean France
The document describes how a tech team at Qonto used Kanban to scale their operations. They implemented a Kanban board to visualize workflow and introduced specific columns for scoping, specification, development, and completion. This helped reduce wait times and align the team. Metrics showed drastic reductions in average cycle times from over 40 days to under 2 days after adopting Kanban.
This talk by Cecil Dijoux, author of #Hyperlean, is about answering the questions managers ask themselves every day to thrive in the digital era. How to daily manage the activity so that customer experience remains at the very heart of the team concern? How to foster the right context to encourage experimentation and the development of the team agility? How to adopt the right posture to engage every one, every day in the thinking, building, checking, learning loop so that each team member can see her or his contribution to the company operational improvement and financial growth as she learns new things about her own work?

Today digital transformations push IT organizations to develop new products and services faster while they must keep maintaining their legacy systems. Because of the increase of new assets, new technologies, new customers, the number of incidents grows dramatically. The impact is huge on both customers and companies. It forces CIOs to put more budget on RUN to the detriment of CHANGE to keep the situation under control. The good news is that it is possible to get out of this critical situation.
Through a concrete story, within the banking sector, Pierre Jannez, Lean IT coach with Operae Partners, explained how a team leader and his 7 teammates have put the situation back on track by removing all incidents of a critical application in 6 months ; how they multiplied per 3 their productivity using the two pillars of the Toyota Production System, Just In Time & Jidoka, to deliver corrections faster, with the best level of quality ever, and eventually how they progressively moved from a reparation work.

Bas Vodde is the creator of LeSS, a lightweight (agile) framework for scaling Scrum to more than one team.
Toyota Production System and Lean Thinking have been an essential influence to LeSS. Lean Thinking is one of the ten LeSS principles. In this talk, he zoomed in a little on how and why Lean Thinking influenced LeSS and how similar thinking can help your development independent of ‘scaling framework’.
LeSS is different with other scaling frameworks in the sense that it provides a very minimalistic framework that enables empiricism on a large-scale which enables the teams and organization to inspect-adapt their implementation based on their experiences and context. LeSS is based on the idea that providing too much rules, roles, artifacts and asking the organization to tailor it down is a fundamentally flawed approach and instead scaling frameworks should be minimalistic and allowing organizations to fill them in.

Have your improvements plateaued? Are Scrum Masters acting more like facilitators than active improvement drivers? Are your improvement efforts grounded in reactive problem solving and good intentions but failing to deliver true and measurable results? These questions indicate that there is a “missing link” between the improvement culture that so many Agilists want but rarely find they can execute. This presentation captures the last six years of experience working with Toyota Kata in an Agile setting, helping teams, departments, business units and organizations learn how to set ambitious and measurable improvement goals and work iteratively toward them.

For Alistair Cockburn, Agile has become overly decorated. Let’s scrape away those decorations for a minute, and get back to the center. The Heart of Agile is a fresh look at Agile that strips away a lot of the noise that has built up over recent years. It contains just four imperatives: Collaborate, Deliver, Reflect, Improve. With these four words, we can both improve the effectiveness of any organization and also find new and interesting topics that are not in the common agile literature.

Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation ParametersSafe Software
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.

From Natural Language to Structured Solr Queries using LLMsSease
This talk draws on experimentation to enable AI applications with Solr. One important use case is to use AI for better accessibility and discoverability of the data: while User eXperience techniques, lexical search improvements, and data harmonization can take organizations to a good level of accessibility, a structural (or “cognitive” gap) remains between the data user needs and the data producer constraints.
That is where AI – and most importantly, Natural Language Processing and Large Language Model techniques – could make a difference. This natural language, conversational engine could facilitate access and usage of the data leveraging the semantics of any data source.
The objective of the presentation is to propose a technical approach and a way forward to achieve this goal.
The key concept is to enable users to express their search queries in natural language, which the LLM then enriches, interprets, and translates into structured queries based on the Solr index’s metadata.
This approach leverages the LLM’s ability to understand the nuances of natural language and the structure of documents within Apache Solr.
The LLM acts as an intermediary agent, offering a transparent experience to users automatically and potentially uncovering relevant documents that conventional search methods might overlook. The presentation will include the results of this experimental work, lessons learned, best practices, and the scope of future work that should improve the approach and make it production-ready.
