Make More Time For Falconry; Digital Marketing Hacks and Habits
My latest presentation from Drink Digital. This time I tackled the importance of working smarter not harder so that you can make time for the more important things in life.
From removing the avalanche of email and distractions many people have the secret to productivity. In reality most use their to do lists as a crutch.
Mastering hacks and turning them into habits is the real key.
Agile Scaling - 3 Factors For Success
Video and slides available at https://www.kaizenko.com/washington-dc-scrum-user-group-dcsug/
Have you ever thought to yourself...
• How can we make Agile Scaling less of a goal itself and more of a method to get our organizational goals?
• We know we need to scale but where do we go from here?
I'll share the three factors that emerged as common themes throughout my experience working on government Agile Scaling projects that ultimately impacted the trajectory of each agency's Scaling journey:
• Communicate vision consistently
• Focus on your people genuinely
• Create your own path intentionally
Regardless of the agency acronym or the frameworks used, these concepts shaped their Scaling outcomes.
So, whether you are working in the government, commercial or the non-profit space, these concepts can help you take your organization to the peak of its Agile Scaling journey.

Getting Sacked, Van Halen, M & M's and Better Digital Marketing Decisions
Humans dont really like to make decisions. Decisions are tough. There is often too much at stake. Humans make bad decisions all the time.
But not making a decision at all is even worse.
At the latest Drink Digital meetup I looked at how I had used the WRAP framework to make better decisions at work and how we are passing on the good decisions that we make around the team.
When individuals are making better decisions at work and sharing them with team mate to make their life easier then the whole business is making better decisions.
Make better decisions, easier and across the board.

Agile lessons from Antarctica by Julie Wyman
On March 12, 2021, Julie Wyman presented on "Agile Lessons From Antarctica" at the DC Scrum User Group.
Video and slides at https://www.kaizenko.com/agile-lessons-from-antarctica-responding-to-change-over-following-a-plan-by-julie-wyman-at-the-dc-scrum-user-group-dcsug/
Abstract
I spent January 2018 in Antarctica hanging out with penguins, whales, and seals. It was about as different from my day-to-day work as an Agile Coach as can be. And yet, on my long flight home, I couldn’t help but reflect on how well my trip aligned with one specific value of the Agile Manifesto: “Responding to change over following a plan.”
I think it’s a common misconception that there’s no need to plan in Agile. And while this isn’t the case, specific approaches to planning do change—from big upfront design to a “just enough” approach. The act of planning still holds great value when it occurs at the right level, but in Agile we accept that many things will change and we’ll need to remain flexible to respond to them. If we’ve planned well, we’ll go into those changes with a clear sense of our goal and how to still achieve it under the new circumstances.
Nowhere is this truer than in Antarctica. Throughout the session, I’ll share six specific takeaways about change and planning that I brought back from my trip. I’ll share how my trip to Antarctica drove home why we need both planning AND, even more importantly, the ability to respond to change and how these real-life, non-software examples of responding to change can serve as great reminders to bring back to more typical work environments, including software development. And after being stuck in Antarctica six days longer than planned, I'll share why my biggest takeaway of them all was increased empathy for team members struggling with dynamic situations!

Diffusion of responsibility is a challenge that can be addressed by keeping teams small, clearly defining roles, and encouraging collaboration through pairing and limiting work in progress.

The Data Greenhouse DevOps Measurement at Scale
This document summarizes a presentation on developing a "Data Greenhouse" to integrate measurement into DevOps programs. The presentation covers:
- Why program leaders often miss targets for data collection due to issues like unstructured data and lack of integration
- Generating leadership interest in unknowns by communicating initial data findings and insights
- Whether measurement efforts should be their own initiative given barriers to improvement
- Signs that measurement is paying off such as teams independently problem-solving and requesting data
- Next steps like partnering with teams on analysis and an improved measurement platform
ReadyforAgile Webinar hosted by ICAgile
The document discusses assessing organizational agility. It begins by noting the importance of starting an agility assessment by understanding where the organization currently stands and where it wants to go. It then outlines a 5-step systematic approach to agility assessment: 1) define purpose and outcomes, 2) identify participants and demographics, 3) define indicators, 4) gather data, and 5) share insights. Key insights involve identifying characteristics that enable or sustain agility, such as overcommitment, trust between silos, and mindset of value-driven delivery. Role-specific responses help identify opportunities like low trust between departments.
Unless accwc
The document discusses the importance of learning, reading books, and building connections with others. It emphasizes that one must care about making positive changes, and that learning is an ongoing process of learning, experimenting, teaching, and examining through building relationships and engaging with a community. The last lines encourage learning to apply knowledge quickly through an agile approach.
Agile Basics Slides PMIBC - Feb 2015
The document provides an agenda for a training session on agile basics. The summary is:
The training session will cover key topics such as defining agility, comparing traditional and agile approaches, explaining the origins of agile and the agile manifesto. It will help participants understand the agile mindset and recognize the difference between doing agile and being agile. The session will also explore challenges to enabling agility and techniques for continuous improvement.
Training from the BACK of the Room
The document provides guidance on using a 4Cs training map approach to design effective training sessions that incorporate accelerated learning principles. It outlines the 4Cs - Connections, Concepts, Concrete Practice, and Conclusions - as an instructional design tool to show learners where the instruction is going and get them there together through multisensory activities. Examples of learner activities are provided for each C, like graphic organizers, teach-backs, and action planning. The goal is to actively engage learners through movement, images, writing and different approaches rather than passive activities like long lectures.
Designing productive meetings
This document discusses how to design productive meetings. It provides tips for meeting facilitators on identifying the right participants, setting ground rules, creating an agenda with clear objectives and outcomes, tracking action items, following up after meetings, and ensuring participation from all attendees. The goal is to avoid unnecessary meetings and maximize productivity by focusing discussions and following through on agreed upon next steps.
PMI ACP Prep Course
This document provides an overview of a two-day PMI-ACP exam prep course. It outlines the course agenda, including introductions, an overview of the PMI-ACP exam requirements, and references.

Is Agile dead? It depends on what you mean by 'Agile'. If you mean that the organizations are not getting the promised benefits because they were focusing too much on the team-level agile "ways of working" instead of systemic global improvements -- then we are in agreement. It is a misunderstanding of Agility that led us down a dead-end. At Org Topologies, we see bright sparks -- the signs of the 'second wave of Agile' as we call it. The emphasis is shifting towards both in-team and inter-team collaboration. Away from false dichotomies. Both: team autonomy and shared broad product ownership are required to sustain true result-oriented organizational agility. Org Topologies is a package offering a visual language plus thinking tools required to communicate org development direction and can be used to help design and then sustain org change aiming at higher organizational archetypes.

Impact of Effective Performance Appraisal Systems on Employee Motivation and ...
Healthy economic development requires properly managing the banking industry of any
country. Along with state-owned banks, private banks play a critical role in the country's economy.
Managers in all types of banks now confront the same challenge: how to get the utmost output from
their employees. Therefore, Performance appraisal appears to be inevitable since it set the
standard for comparing actual performance to established objectives and recommending practical
solutions that help the organization achieve sustainable growth. Therefore, the purpose of this
research is to determine the effect of performance appraisal on employee motivation and retention.

From Concept to reality : Implementing Lean Managements DMAIC Methodology for...
The Ready-Made Garments (RMG) industry in Bangladesh is a cornerstone of the economy, but increasing costs and stagnant productivity pose significant challenges to profitability. This study explores the implementation of Lean Management in the Sampling Section of RMG factories to enhance productivity. Drawing from a comprehensive literature review, theoretical framework, and action research methodology, the study identifies key areas for improvement and proposes solutions.
Through the DMAIC approach (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control), the research identifies low productivity as the primary problem in the Sampling Section, with a PPH (Productivity per head) of only 4.0. Using Lean Management techniques such as 5S, Standardized work, PDCA/Kaizen, KANBAN, and Quick Changeover, the study addresses issues such as pre and post Quick Changeover (QCO) time, improper line balancing, and sudden plan changes.
The research employs regression analysis to test hypotheses, revealing a significant correlation between reducing QCO time and increasing productivity. With a regression equation of Y = -0.000501X + 6.72 and an R-squared value of 0.98, the study demonstrates a strong relationship between the independent variables (QCO downtime and improper line balancing downtime) and the dependent variable (productivity per head).
The findings suggest that by implementing Lean Management practices and addressing key productivity inhibitors, RMG factories can achieve substantial improvements in efficiency and profitability. The study provides valuable insights for practitioners, policymakers, and researchers seeking to enhance productivity in the RMG industry and similar manufacturing sectors.

Goals driven delivery with impact mapping pmi-march2019
- 5. #ImpactMapping @selleithy @sparkagility What makes Goals important? “Cat: Where are you going? Alice: Which way should I go? Cat: That depends on where you are going. Alice: I don’t know. Cat: Then it doesn’t matter which way you go.” You've got to be very careful if you don't know where you are going, because you might not get there. Yogi Berra Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland
- 6. #ImpactMapping @selleithy @sparkagility • Define what Impact Mapping is • Create your first Impact Map • Introduce Impact Mapping to your team What we will cover…
- 7. #ImpactMapping @selleithy @sparkagility Thought experiment • Think of a goal you want to accomplish • Now think of the actor(s) affected by this goal. Who might help you? Who could discourage you? • Think of the impact you want to have by accomplishing this goal • Now think of the deliverable you need to do to make this impact
- 13. #ImpactMapping @selleithy @sparkagility How to introduce to your team? 1. Introduce it to at least one person next week and get their thoughts or feedback 2. Conduct a lunch and learn session with your team and brainstorm on how you might apply impact mapping in your context 3. Look at your project and use it to connect the dots on your project (why, who, how and what)
