There are a few dimensions to get right before scaling a dojo program. In this webinar, we’ll look at the need for real measures that correlate to impact, the need for quality coaches who bring not only knowledge but experience, and getting to pull-based -- where teams want to come into the dojo rather than being forced -- as the three accelerants to scaling a dojo. We’ll also detail a model we use for scaling once these preconditions are met.
Join us on December 2 for Part 3 of our 3-part webinar series on Enterprise Dojos. David Laribee and Nate Ashford, pioneers of the dojo approach, will describe strategies and tactics for scaling dojos intelligently.
You will learn about:
- What quality of coaching means and why it matters
- Innovating on dojo measurements -- from in-house maturity models to metrics that matter
- Why “pull-based” dojos are more sustainable in impact and generate greater demand in organizations
Dojo or Bust? The Next Wave of Immersive LearningCprime
Dojos are the darling of technical learning and organizational transformation these days, but are they all they’re cracked up to be or just the latest industry fad?
Join David Laribee, Head of Dojos/Strategic Advisor, and Anne Steiner, VP of Product Agility at Cprime, as they dig deeper into all things Dojo.
We’ll learn how Dojos can become incubators for elite product development teams and serve as a more effective way to deploy and cultivate internal coaching capabilities. Then we’ll explore several advanced topics: measuring Dojo ROI; Dojos versus traditional training programs; sustaining learning momentum after a team’s Dojo experience; and, Dojos as a core component of a larger digital transformation strategy.
Through real examples and stories, Dave and Anne will share the learnings DevJam (now Cprime) has had in helping dozens of company’s set up and tune Dojo experiences over the last five years.
In the end, you‘ll get a quick head start — whether you’re championing a Dojo approach in your organization or tuning an existing immersive learning environment toward scale.
In this webinar you'll learn:
*The basics of the Dojo approach.
*How we create time and space for a team to focus on their challenge.
*How we coach teams in using metrics within their Dojo challenge and beyond
*How we work with groups at scale to create the conditions for lasting and continuous change
Enterprise Dojos: Values, Principles, and Cultural PerspectiveCprime
When we talk about dojos there’s a tendency to focus on the mechanical aspects of the model — the workflow, method, short iterations, and immersive learning. Perhaps more important is understanding what models and principles actually make the dojo innovative and successful. In this webinar, our dojo experts will unpack the foundations of the dojo — the underlying models that make it work, the principles that guide our behaviors and choices, and how dojos help shift cultures from fixating on delivery to leveraging learning.
You will learn about:
- Theories and research that make the dojo model work: deliberate practice, spaced repetition, etc.
- What are the values and principles that are common to successful dojos
- How dojos help shift an organization from a culture of delivery to a culture of learning
How Dojos Make an Impact: Practical, Real ExamplesCprime
In this webinar, we’ll share several stories of how dojos have created significant impact for our enterprise clients. We’ll cover the evolution of a couple large dojos we’ve helped lead sharing both quantitative and qualitative data, and what we’ve learned along the journey to tune and pivot dojos toward various needs -- product, workflow, and technical.
Join us on November 4 for Part 2 of our 3-part webinar series on Enterprise Dojos. David Laribee and Nate Ashford, pioneers of the dojo approach, will provide an experience report on the evolution of several large-scale dojos.
You will learn about:
- Our approach and lightweight framework for measuring dojo impact

Numerous recent studies illustrate the woeful state of employee engagement, motivation and alignment in corporations across the globe. Engagement, Motivation and Alignment translate directly to measures of productivity, efficiency, and effectiveness. Even employees with the best intentions are ineffective at best, destructive at worst if they’re working on the wrong things instead of producing outcomes that advance corporate strategy.
Successful strategy doesn’t come from defining a great strategy, it comes from deploying and executing a great strategy. Strategy deployment and execution must overcome the powerful force of entropy that produces strategy decay. Strategy decay causes the best strategy to become misunderstood and mis-implemented by your workers.
Join Dan and Evan as they illustrate powerful patterns and practices for maximizing alignment through OKRs, and will share the proven methods for maximizing knowledge-worker motivation and engagement, and share some simple models that demonstrate MASSIVE HARD FINANCIAL BENEFITS produced by mastering adaptive strategy through OKRs.
3 Key Learning Objectives:
- Understand the linkage between employee alignment, motivation, and engagement
- Understand how the above three drive employee and organizational effectiveness
- Understand how OKRs combined with modern organizational leadership practices produce hard financial benefits and competitive advantage

How to Thrive in a Fast-Paced Environment - The Art of Quarterly Strategic Pl...Cprime
It’s very common for organizations (both Line-of-Business and IT) to conduct strategic planning activity and major decision-making on an annual basis.
This might have made some sense when the pace of business was more predictable, and change was slower and gradual. But in today’s business environment, change occurs far too rapidly for that to work in most industries.
If your organization has gone agile, then, in a way, you’ve already acknowledged and adjusted to that new reality by making a conscious decision to embrace iterative, continually improving production in order to thrive in this fast pace environment.
So, if sticking to an annual strategic planning cycle simply doesn’t work anymore, then what does?
A far better option is to handle strategic Portfolio planning on a quarterly basis. But this new way of thinking implies a significant culture change…
You'll learn about:
1. Drivers for moving to quarterly planning
2. Creating a new mindset and focus on quarterly strategic planning
3. Implementing quarterly check-in on a Portfolio of projects across the Enterprise
Join us to learn ideas, techniques and best practices to help you and your organization thrive in this new fast-paced business landscape.

An Outcome Measurement Model: Is your Agile Adoption Moving the Needle?Cprime
The Version One Annual State of Agile survey indicates that 94% of organizations are practicing Agile in one way, shape, or form.
But what might this investment yield besides an Agile label? In many cases, it appears that organization leaders cannot produce concrete data to meet this ask, or articulate the gain clearly using measures that count and impact the bottom line.
One solution is to begin with the desired outcomes driving the adoption and identify both leading and lagging indicators to gauge whether the change initiative is moving the needle and impacting the bottom line. This approach has been successful because it creates alignment and accountability.
Join Michael McCalla, technology leader, transformation specialist, avid agile practitioner and founder of Lean Agile Intelligence, for this interactive session, and learn how this outcome measurement model can help you start changing the conversation!

SAFe for Marketing – Extending Towards Real Business Agility - Global SAFe Su...Yuval Yeret
SAFe’s home turf is product/systems/applications development. Let’s talk about challenging this comfort zone by applying it in one of the core business functions – Marketing. Why? Because the marketing operating system is being disrupted and the larger the marketing organization the more it struggles to maintain relevancy and impact. More and more marketing organizations are seeing the impact of Agile and want to benefit as well. How should an organization using SAFe in R&D/IT look at Agile in Marketing? Is SAFe the right choice? Does it work “as is”? Are there any changes needed to support this new context? What are some lessons learned from trying this in the field?
Learning Objectives and Key Takeaways:
At some point in your enterprise transformation you should consider applying SAFe outside of Product Development/IT. Marketing is a great candidate for a next Value Stream to implement SAFe in.
Agile Marketing is possible not just for small nimble companies but also for large organizations with hundreds of marketers and several legacy silos. SAFe provides a blueprint for how to achieve this.
Understand the differences in applying SAFe outside of Product Development/IT and how to adjust the Big Picture / Implementation Roadmap to accommodate these differences.
The ideal “Business Agility” state is actually to bring together Marketing, Product Management/Development, Sales into one Value Stream.
This talk was delivered in the global SAFe Summit in DC in October 2018
Lean Portfolio Strategy Part 2: Shifting from Imitation to Real LPM - The Mov...Cprime
Download the associated webinar: https://www.cprime.com/resource/webinars/lean-portfolio-strategy-part-2-shifting-from-imitation-to-real-lpm-the-move-to-true-value-streams/
Lean Portfolio Management (LPM) is touted as a world-changing paradigm. A shift that promises to boost productivity, time to market, quality, customer satisfaction, revenue, and a host of other vital business metrics. It promises to transform the organization to a leaner, more agile version of itself, primed to innovate effortlessly and outperform its competition at every turn.
Most organizations who have tried to establish LPM find the reality to be more nuanced than that. These companies end up implementing “Imitation LPM” where actions and some process changes may be in place and functioning, but the real promise of LPM- the increased agility and reduced waste- is not occurring.
Real LPM assumes that work is funded by value streams with teams organized around delivery of products and services that are valuable to customers. This is, perhaps, the hardest part of implementing LPM.
In part 1 of this webinar we explored how signs of imitation LPM show up in an organization’s approach to strategy. In this second of our series, we join Michiko Quinones (Jira Align Consultant) and Jean Dahl (General Manager, Scaled Agility) to explore:
- How to organize around value streams
- Real world examples of organizations who have successfully shifted from imitation value streams to true value streams
- The impact to funding and budgeting cycles
Agile is a mindset game, it's an attitude that people carry with the intent of delivering best in class customer experience. But this is possible when everyone works with the same. An open culture, transparency, taking along fellow co-workers are some of the behavioral characteristics of agile team members
Although Technology received the maximum attention, the only sustainable competitive advantage in today's environment are People. How to effectively manage human resources has become the key challenge for the leader, not only in terms of his ability to compete, but to survive.

With the launch of SAFe 5.0, one of the major changes to the Framework has been the introduction of Design Thinking and Customer Centricity - putting the Customer left, right, and center of everything an organization does.
Join Tina Behers, Director, Business Agility, and Jesse Pearlman, Business Agility Coach, as we explore:
*How to gain a clear enterprise understanding of Design Thinking/Customer Centricity
*How Jira Align supports the concept of Design Thinking/Customer Centricity with the Product Module
*How the value of Design Thinking/Customer Centricity is delivered

An Outcome Measurement Model: Is your Agile Adoption Moving the Needle?Cprime
The Version One Annual State of Agile survey indicates that 94% of organizations are practicing Agile in one way, shape, or form.
But what might this investment yield besides an Agile label? In many cases, it appears that organization leaders cannot produce concrete data to meet this ask, or articulate the gain clearly using measures that count and impact the bottom line.
One solution is to begin with the desired outcomes driving the adoption and identify both leading and lagging indicators to gauge whether the change initiative is moving the needle and impacting the bottom line. This approach has been successful because it creates alignment and accountability.
Join Michael McCalla, technology leader, transformation specialist, avid agile practitioner and founder of Lean Agile Intelligence, for this interactive session, and learn how this outcome measurement model can help you start changing the conversation!

In celebration of the 20th year of the signing of the Agile Manifesto, Ken France, Agility Practice Leader and SAFe Fellow at Cprime, shares his professional journey which has been centered around application development and agility. He explains how planes, trains, and automobiles are directly tied to the long and winding road he traveled from being an application developer with a computer science degree to becoming the Agility Practice Leader at Cprime and SAFe Fellow.
This session highlights things he has learned and done along the way and he shares experiences and insights that may benefit others in their professional journey. This talk also features some “cameo” appearances from well-known industry icons who have influenced and supported him, specifically Grady Booch, Dr. Ivar Jacobson, and Dean Leffingwell.

SAFe for Marketing – Extending Towards Real Business Agility - Global SAFe Su...Yuval Yeret
SAFe’s home turf is product/systems/applications development. Let’s talk about challenging this comfort zone by applying it in one of the core business functions – Marketing. Why? Because the marketing operating system is being disrupted and the larger the marketing organization the more it struggles to maintain relevancy and impact. More and more marketing organizations are seeing the impact of Agile and want to benefit as well. How should an organization using SAFe in R&D/IT look at Agile in Marketing? Is SAFe the right choice? Does it work “as is”? Are there any changes needed to support this new context? What are some lessons learned from trying this in the field?
Learning Objectives and Key Takeaways:
At some point in your enterprise transformation you should consider applying SAFe outside of Product Development/IT. Marketing is a great candidate for a next Value Stream to implement SAFe in.
Agile Marketing is possible not just for small nimble companies but also for large organizations with hundreds of marketers and several legacy silos. SAFe provides a blueprint for how to achieve this.
Understand the differences in applying SAFe outside of Product Development/IT and how to adjust the Big Picture / Implementation Roadmap to accommodate these differences.
The ideal “Business Agility” state is actually to bring together Marketing, Product Management/Development, Sales into one Value Stream.
This talk was delivered in the global SAFe Summit in DC in October 2018
Lean Portfolio Strategy Part 2: Shifting from Imitation to Real LPM - The Mov...Cprime
Download the associated webinar: https://www.cprime.com/resource/webinars/lean-portfolio-strategy-part-2-shifting-from-imitation-to-real-lpm-the-move-to-true-value-streams/
Lean Portfolio Management (LPM) is touted as a world-changing paradigm. A shift that promises to boost productivity, time to market, quality, customer satisfaction, revenue, and a host of other vital business metrics. It promises to transform the organization to a leaner, more agile version of itself, primed to innovate effortlessly and outperform its competition at every turn.
Most organizations who have tried to establish LPM find the reality to be more nuanced than that. These companies end up implementing “Imitation LPM” where actions and some process changes may be in place and functioning, but the real promise of LPM- the increased agility and reduced waste- is not occurring.
Real LPM assumes that work is funded by value streams with teams organized around delivery of products and services that are valuable to customers. This is, perhaps, the hardest part of implementing LPM.
In part 1 of this webinar we explored how signs of imitation LPM show up in an organization’s approach to strategy. In this second of our series, we join Michiko Quinones (Jira Align Consultant) and Jean Dahl (General Manager, Scaled Agility) to explore:
- How to organize around value streams
- Real world examples of organizations who have successfully shifted from imitation value streams to true value streams
- The impact to funding and budgeting cycles
Agile is a mindset game, it's an attitude that people carry with the intent of delivering best in class customer experience. But this is possible when everyone works with the same. An open culture, transparency, taking along fellow co-workers are some of the behavioral characteristics of agile team members
Although Technology received the maximum attention, the only sustainable competitive advantage in today's environment are People. How to effectively manage human resources has become the key challenge for the leader, not only in terms of his ability to compete, but to survive.

Agile speaks of putting people first; however in my experience, people are the poor stepchild to process and tools. It’s not about getting scrum teams “more agile” it’s about shaping the organization's culture to support agile development. It’s necessary to understand the areas needed to create a culture that supports agile development. We have to wonder, are we asking ourselves the right questions? How do we engage our staff to create an agile workforce? How do we hire the right people? What is a manager's role in this new self-organized culture? How do we motivate those people? How do we connect them with the customer? It’s about embodying the spirit of agility to get all the magic of a startup and scaling that across a large organization.
In this session, we will talk about building your organization’s culture to support scaling organizational agility to keep the team passionate and purposeful.

From Project to Product: Leaders, Here's What It Means to YouCprime
Project to product is all the rage these days. You, your boss, or your company are already talking about this. Heck, your group has been "agile" for years now, but this next phase seems to just be a repackaging of that.

2) You need more than just engineering/IT buy-in to be successful. It takes the whole enterprise.
3) Product management is a thing. We'll learn what it is, how it is different from project management, and why it is critical to market domination and product success.

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

noun
A six week deep dive in which teams set technical,
business, and product goals, identify success metrics,
and iterate rapidly, sharing their progress and learning⎯
all while supported by dedicated experts.

7. DOJOS
A dojo is a place where teams come together to FOCUS on learning
Dojos provide…
• An immersive learning experience
• In a dedicated location
• For a fixed period of time
Dojos foster the use of…
• Collaborative problem solving
• To achieve specific outcomes
• Via rapid learning cycles
10. • Practitioners with a coaching skill: technical coaches, product coaches.
• Agile is the gift with purchase; it’s our common language.
• The pace can be a little daunting at first. Coaches need to develop
• We’re coaching as a whole team and often pairing within challenges.

14. A TYPICAL JOURNEY FOR COACHES
Recruiting
Candidate coaches self-identified or are
nominated by leadership. Experienced
coaches are recruited and hired from
outside of Fiserv.
Ready to Coach
Qualified candidates join a cohort of 10
coaches in a deep dive on coaching a dojo
workflow. Over a 5-week challenge,
coaches become prepared to work with
teams in a dojo.
Mentorship
After graduating “Ready to Coach”, new
coaches are paired with experienced
coaches to observe and gain confidence
facilitating plays and events within the
dojo.
Support
After a couple challenges, new coaches
are paired with experienced coaches (1+1)
to master the dojo challenge coaching
approach.

Coaches work in pairs across
three main disciplines. Teams are
assigned coaches based on need
and maturity.
Workflow
Product
Technical
15. • Invest in people (coaches) first. Quality of coaching is highly
correlated to the team outcomes produced by your dojo.
• Coaching as more of a skill then a role.
• Kent Beck said, “you have to be satisfied with exponential
growth.” Coaches mentoring the next wave of coaches.
• Build slack into your coaching tempo.
• Enabling constraint: focus on working with high impact teams
vs. covering all teams.
A PROGRESSION TO SCALE
17. • Tie measurements to dojo offerings.
• Your first mission: coach the team to understand how to use data in their product and
workflow experiments. Data serves the team.
• Aggregate measures across challenges to correlate team improvements as a result of dojo
challenges to larger impacts around business agility.
• Use “Net Promoter Score (NPS)” to measure the dojo program itself in the short term. Mid-
term? Collect data that helps you understand whether demand for dojo challenges
originates from the teams themselves.
METRICS THAT MATTER
18. Teams with a higher degree of
autonomy extend their capabilities,
exhibiting behaviors and mastering
skills important to each.
More siloed orgs align capabilities to
departments and, thereby, handoffs.

20. We see a hard divide between
discover/delivery/ops in groups
new to scaled agile and/or in overly
handoff-driven organizations.
These groups tend to be more static
in their approach to learning.
Delivery-only teams are often
coupled to enabling specialists - UX,
DevOps, Performance, etc.

26. GETTING TO A “PULL-BASED” DOJO: A FIRST
NORTH STAR
MAKE GETTING TO A PULL-BASED
DOJO YOUR FIRST NORTH STAR
27. From Push To Pull
Creating More Sustainable Impact and
Greater Demand
28. “Thou shalt go forth and spend 6 weeks in
the dojo.”
--Somebody at a higher paygrade
AKA “You GET to go.”
Demand only lasts as long as the
pressure does, and people are constantly
looking for an excuse not to come.
“That looks really cool! When can we do
that?”
--The Team
AKA “WE get to go.”
Demand increases as word spreads.
People start negotiating ways to free
themselves up to come.
DEMAND COMES FROM ONE OF TWO DIRECTIONS
PULL: BOTTOM-UP
PUSH: TOP-DOWN
29. • Don’t want to be there
• Aren’t really interested in learning
• Have no objectives for dojo
• Have no ownership in the experience
• Are just going to required training
“PUSH” TEAMS
30. • Want to be there
• Want something out of the experience
• Have specific objectives
• Are engaged learners
• Take ownership of their learning journey
”PULL” TEAMS
31. OBJECTIVE: CREATE AN APPEALING WORK ENVIRONMENT
Impacts to:
• Hiring / Retention
• Productivity
• Creativity / Innovation
• Morale => Pride in Work => Quality
32. • First few teams may need to be push
• Dojo staff will have to win them over
• Find ways to publicize / promote the
successes
• Ask teams for referrals
• Experienced
• Credible
• Fun
STARTING OUT
INITIAL COACHES NEED TO BE RINGERS
PROBABLY NOT THE IDEAL TO START
33. • Rituals
• Traditions
• Outreach
• Open demos
• Afternoon stretch breaks
• Graduation parties
• T-shirts & merch
• Mini-conferences
• Code-a-thons
• Meetups
DEFINITELY BRING THE FUN
EXAMPLES
MAKE IT EXPLICIT AND INTENTIONAL
35. REVIEW: TOP LEARNINGS
• Invest in developing coaches
• Measure outcomes aligned to dojo offerings
• Move as quickly as possible to a pull-based model
