This document discusses using "pull-based" and invitation-driven techniques to implement SAFe in an organization. It recommends:
1. Treating implementation like marketing different value streams, using techniques like training, workshops, and demonstrations to generate interest.
2. Inviting people to opt-in to SAFe training to identify champions and gauge acceptance.
3. Hosting open spaces to discuss SAFe and have groups decide how to apply it in their context.
4. Combining SAFe workshops with open-space discussions and experiments to help value streams commit to and customize their SAFe approach.
Governance Teams in organizations adopting Agile often struggle to define Agile-compatible governance practices. Agile Governance can appear to be oxymoronic. A choice between a bad option - "Agile is a blank check. You'll get what you get when you get it." and an even worse option - "Iron Triangle governance for Agile Delivery." Things get worse when powerful executives demand status reports using metrics that Agile teams believe represent waterfall thinking. Often, such conversations can be polarizing, causing people with shared goals to dig into adversarial camps, struggling to communicate with each other. So how can we build bridges across these chasms and shift from polarizing to unifying interactions?
These slides from a Scrum.org Scrum Pulse webinar, in which I propose a rigorous, frame-work independent approach that constructively channelizes the valid desire for governance. I frame governance in terms of value that will help us unify organizations without getting sucked into polarizing conversations about delivery frameworks. I also frame governance as a powerful way to enable sustainable competitive advantage and provide a short, memorable equation that might help entire organizations align towards a shared goal.
The ideas in this webinar have been applied in multiple organizations across diverse industries - real estate, sports and banking. In each case, there was CXO support, validating the hypothesis that this approach helps elevate the conversation to Executives.

The Scrum Product Owner is probably the most crucial and the most mis-understood of the three roles of Scrum. Being an effective Scrum Product Owner is not about writing user stories, bludgeoning teams into reducing estimates or demanding quarterly increase in velocity. These slides give an overview of my blog that suggests the stances that might help Product Owners optimize the ROI of Scrum.
The document summarizes Intel's implementation of the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) at its MDO organization. It describes how Intel transitioned from a vertical to horizontal structure with 177 scrum teams organized into 12 Agile Release Trains. While the intent was to follow SAFe principles and standard rules across the organization, variations in agile maturity and other challenges emerged. Key lessons included that SAFe is a set of guidelines rather than a prescriptive template, and successfully implementing even simple rules at scale is difficult due to factors like team sizing, co-location constraints, and pacing teams across geographies.

Agile Testing FAQs and Mythbuster - Software Testing Atlanta Conference 2015Yuval Yeret
- The document discusses agile testing practices and strategies. It addresses myths around testing roles and responsibilities in agile teams.
- A key point is that testing should shift left towards more continuous quality, adding feature-level testing earlier in sprints. Automation is important but not the main role of testers.
- Testers play an important role in backlog grooming and specifying acceptance tests to guide development work. Continuous quality is a journey that provides value at each step.

Sorry, the new Champlain Bridge can’t be built using Agile...Pyxis Technologies
Building a bridge using an Agile approach is not a good idea for three main reasons:
1. Building a bridge requires a high degree of certainty since there is no room for error given issues of public safety.
2. Agile methods are best suited for contexts with high uncertainty where initial information is inadequate and flexibility exists to experiment.
3. Waterfall methods are more effective for projects requiring certainty where risks cannot be mitigated through experimentation.

I recently got this wonderful opportunity to present a case study "Agile and Startups - What can go wrong" at ExpoQA, Madrid. The talk is about how startups think, build on the idea and try to sell it, until it is influenced by external factors like market and competitors. A lack of strong product owner didnt help as well. Agile, is a technology and is prone to failure as well, until it is practiced right.

The new Scrum is more generic, allows life cycles with small increments and quick releases, but offers even less guidance for these cases. Scrum is based on lean thinking but most lean thinking is not represented here.
In Disciplined Agile, we find this guidance needed to use the new opportunities allowed by Scrum and a much more effective application of lean thinking.

Kering, a luxury group that owns brands like Gucci and Saint Laurent, implemented CA Project & Portfolio Management (CA PPM) to better align IT with business strategy. Previously, IT lacked visibility into business needs and demands. With CA PPM, Kering established end-to-end demand management, portfolio management, and project management workflows. This provided transparency into the demand pipeline, clear accountabilities, and integrated planning across functions. After one year of use, CA PPM helped Kering improve business-IT alignment, increase throughput, and gain full visibility and control over projects, capacity, and costs.

OAN Lean Six Sigma Management Masterclass - Eugene NizeyimanaSSCG Consulting
Lean Six Sigma is a team-focused managerial approach that seeks to improve performance, processes and profitability by discovering and eliminating wastes, non value added activities, improving products or customer services quality and inefficiencies in a business. The goal is to streamline quality control in business processes so there is little to no variance throughout. Lean Six Sigma is a method that relies on a collaborative team effort to improve performance by systematically removing waste and reducing variation.
The document provides information about an upcoming webinar series on Agile and digital marketing organized by the Computer Society of India Mumbai Chapter.

The document describes the agenda for the introductory webinar on Scrum, which will cover the principles, lifecycle, roles, artifacts, and events of the Scrum framework.
In the end of this keynote, audience members (senior marketers) will be prompted to question and think about the following:
Identifying a singular website KPI that they might want to narrow-in on (and how "less = more")
Questions/actions to take to their team and/or website-related service providers re: website priorities, expenses, and outputs
How they might improve conversations with senior leadership and/or their CEO about their website's KPIs, website's ROI, and website activities/expenses (potentially leading to greater support and/or stronger working relationships)

Abstract:
More and more organizations are realizing that in order to achieve business agility they need to go beyond implementing agile in specific teams/projects. Real agility requires scaling agile to the program/portfolio/enterprise level. In this session we will explore the options organizations have when looking to scale agile, with an emphasis on SAFe(tm) - the Scaled Agile Framework - one of the most popular options these days.
Learning Objectives:
• When does it make sense to Scale Agile
• What are the leading scaling approaches
• An introduction to SAFe's Big Picture and implementation configurations
• How to implement SAFe - The Implementation Roadmap
• Typical Results of implementing SAFe
• Key risks/red flags to be aware of when implementing SAFe

Do you sometimes feel that the world of CXO's gets disconnected with the world of Scrum Teams? Do your CXO's sometimes get frustrated that Scrum Teams don't get the big picture while Scrum Teams feel whiplash from chasing the next flavor of the month without understanding if any of their previous contributions added value to the company? Try Strategic Scrum - the approach used by Smart CXO's to Beat Stress & Stay In-Sync With Scrum Teams!
Are you ready to take the next leap in your journey? Do you feel like you have plateaued but are looking for clarity on the next best step?
Learn the 7 Tips that helped us create and transform our company and explore the questions that might help you create or transform yours.
Do you sometimes feel that your Agile teams are running harder and harder - trying to become more Agile, but find themselves in the same place or even worse than they were before? Before you pull out your hair, trying to do more of the same, is it possible that your Agile Transformation is being run like a Waterfall Program?
In this presentation, we will explore 5 common real-world signs of waterfall thinking contaminating Agile Transformations. We will also explore some experiments we could try out to adapt the structure of the transformation so we create eco-systems more compatible with Agile.
The document discusses empathy driven development, which relies on development teams making decisions based on empathy towards stakeholders. It emphasizes the need for teams to creatively self-organize to work around barriers isolating them from stakeholders. Common barriers include stakeholders being inaccessible, unvalidated assumptions about needs, and layers of proxies between stakeholders and teams. The document provides examples of how to develop empathy through activities like empathy mapping and observing stakeholders directly. It stresses applying principles of transparency, inspection and adaptation to improve stakeholder empathy over time.
Are you frustrated with your Scrum Retrospectives? Disappointed with the ROI or lack thereof? Are myths and misuderstandings about Agile & Scrum getting in the way and everyone is too busy chopping wood to sharpen their axes? Maybe the Trojan Retrospective will help....
Ever asked or heard the question "Why will Agile work this time?" It is healthy and normal to face doubts about the efficacy of Agile, especially if you have tried before and did not get the desired results. These slides from the Feb 2016 Agile-DevOps meetup, where we explored this question together and reviewed a tool that might guide the enquiry.
* What role do certifications play in us choosing the people we work with and trust?
* Especially when it comes to Agile Certifications - how do we evaluate alternatives to choose the most reliable Certifications in the market?
* How does the way in which we approach certifications in our professional life compare to the way in which we approach certifications in our personal life - for instance, the way in which we might choose a pediatrician for our child?
This presentation takes us on a guided inquiry through these questions.
We have all heard about how important self-organization / self-management is to the effectiveness of Scrum Teams. * But what is self-management?
* What factors can enable of hinder it?
* What can we do if some of our teams are not self-managing?
* How can we apply empiricism to create transparency into the current state of self-management and then inspect and adapt the environment to create the desired result?
This presentation helps us explore the 4 building blocks that create self-management. For each building block, we explore 5 enabling factors . We will also explore a way to gather evidence that creates transparency into the current state of self-management in the team so we can inspect and adapt to minimize undesirable variances. Finally, we co-relate these building blocks with Scrum and discuss how the Scrum Framework and Agile Practices can be used to build strong, self-managing teams.

How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?
[OReilly Superstream] Occupy the Space: A grassroots guide to engineering (an...Jason Yip
The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.

Bram Verhoef, Head of Machine Learning at Axelera AI, presents the “How Axelera AI Uses Digital Compute-in-memory to Deliver Fast and Energy-efficient Computer Vision” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
As artificial intelligence inference transitions from cloud environments to edge locations, computer vision applications achieve heightened responsiveness, reliability and privacy. This migration, however, introduces the challenge of operating within the stringent confines of resource constraints typical at the edge, including small form factors, low energy budgets and diminished memory and computational capacities. Axelera AI addresses these challenges through an innovative approach of performing digital computations within memory itself. This technique facilitates the realization of high-performance, energy-efficient and cost-effective computer vision capabilities at the thin and thick edge, extending the frontier of what is achievable with current technologies.
In this presentation, Verhoef unveils his company’s pioneering chip technology and demonstrates its capacity to deliver exceptional frames-per-second performance across a range of standard computer vision networks typical of applications in security, surveillance and the industrial sector. This shows that advanced computer vision can be accessible and efficient, even at the very edge of our technological ecosystem.
