How Crucial a Performance Appraisal Practice Inside the Self-organizing Team?...Scrum Day Bandung
In traditional team structure, the software development team manager does the hiring, firing, promoting, and distributing bonus through individual performance appraisal. How about in a full self-organizing team context? How can the team decide those actions? Does the team need to do this self-performance appraisal? If the team need that, then who should be involved? Does the result need to be transparent? Who will make the final decision? etc.
In this talk, I will share how Titansoft did it. What were the problems we faced? How did our people react to these? What will be our next improvement on this topic? How did we know that we are ready for these actions?
Ideas of non-conventional Agile HR practices that positively impact employee retention The creation and implementation of a safe and engaging work culture for Gen Y/Millennials Lessons learned from this transformational journey – what worked and what didn’t
Capability Building is one of the top most strategic priority for an organization. Even after taking many measures, the real benefit is never realized. With this Presentation a small effort is made to analyze the effectiveness of the different measures taken by the Organizations in building capabilities. The various problems are discussed along with the Vision, Principles and frameworks to resolve the same.
There are as many types of agile coaches out there as there are flavors of ice cream. And, their levels of leadership maturity and skill can vary just as widely. It can leave one fretting, “What am I really getting when I bring in an agile coach? And, how do I ‘grow’ my own?” In fact, what are the “must have” skills of an agile coach and how can you tell if your coach has them?
The Agile Coach Competency Framework is one big clue to answering these questions. Over the past two years, this framework has guided the development of hundreds of agile coaches. Agile managers and champions also use it to obtain “truth in advertising” to hire the right coach at the right time.
We will explore this framework and provide lightening-talk-style case studies that showcase how it has been used in the real world. You’ll leave with ideas and actions to help you become a more savvy purveyor (and/or developer) of agile coaches.

Resource Pools - How is This Still a Thing? at LAST Conf 2016 in Melbourne, A...Bernd Schiffer
A surprising amount of companies is still using antiquated techniques like resource pools. Not only are they costly, but also hinder productivity and effectiveness. Business people wait for weeks and months to get a 20-minute job done? Not uncommon with resource pools.
Feature teams, on the other hand, do have certain characteristics providing the organisation to get things done big time: supported by product owner and team facilitator, self-organised and cross-functional, stable, dedicated, and proactive.
This session shows a path from resource pools to feature teams via self-selection of teams, including common fears and doubts during this culture-changing journey.

When scaling Agile at an enterprise level, coordination and alignment across multiple teams is challenging as whilst Agile teams are self-organising and empowered, someone needs to steer the train to keep it on the tracks to facilitate program level processes and execution, escalate impediment, manage risk, and drive program-level continuous improvement. In this presentation I share my experiences of being a Release Train Engineer on a transformational project across a large government enterprise and explore the challenges and lessons learnt. In particular, I will focus on the Scrum of Scrums and how the RTE is essentially the Master Scrum Master of the Release Train and how to ensure you have Scrum Masters working together towards achieving the goals for the Train's Product Increment.
Beyond the Scrum Master - Becoming an Agile CoachCprime
For an organization to truly move to agility they must develop more than the traditional Scrum roles of ScrumMaster, Product Owner and Scrum team. They must create internal agile coaches. These agile advocates guide other ScrumMasters and Product Owners, assist teams with problems implementing Scrum and help the organization adopt the agile mindset.
How do you move from the ScrumMaster role to that of an agile coach? In this session, we’ll identify the characteristics of a good agile coach, how the role differs from the ScrumMaster and how to build an internal agile coaching organization. We’ll learn:
• Who makes a good agile coach
• How a typical internal agile coach spends their time
• How to assess problems in an unfamiliar team
• Metrics and tools to help the agile coach
• Getting teams started in Agile
• Continuing your own learning
This session is crucial for anyone who has a desire to help agile practices grow and thrive in the organization.
The Agile Activity based Seating Report 2018 - PresentationMia Kolmodin
There is an increasing trend in Sweden to move in to something commonly called Activity Based Seating, what we discovered is often confused with Flexible Seating. We couldn’t find any data on the actual impact of these kind of seatings for Agile Teams. Thats why we did a survey to uncover the “truth” with 177 people answering and an open space session to learn more about what learnings are out there from people working Agile.
The survey was presented at Agila Sverige 2018 and can be found here > At an Open Space session we got together to share experiences people had around ABS. The result of both is shared in this free infographic and we hope this information can bring value to you and your organization so that you can find better solutions together. Please feel free to use the content in any way you like. We would though be happy if you would refer to Dandy People if you take any content out of context.
