In this world of exponentially increasing market disruption, it is more imperative than ever for organizations to not only achieve operational agility (efficiency, speed, etc.), but also organizational agility (speed to respond to market change). Traditional Leadership Paradigms, Org. Structures, and Culture all get in the way, as too many companies focus on team level change and framework implementation (Scrum and SAFe). In this session, we explore how leaders can guide their organizations past these barriers and accelerate the momentum towards true organizational agility.

Agile Velocity

Virtual Agile Meetup with David Hawks, Bob Sarni and Michigan Technology Services Michigan Technology Services offers instructor-led Agile and Scrum training and coaching. We collaborate with stellar people – like David Hawks and Bob Sarni, globally recognized Agile trainers and coaches. In a pre-Covid world our training would take place at our location in the Farmington Hills/Novi area, 20 miles outside of Detroit, or at your location anywhere around the world. Our Agile workshops and Agile coaching sessions are now offered online/virtually, reducing your need to travel. We continue to support the local Agile community and sponsor regional Agile conferences and meetups. We have successfully run Agile and Certified ScrumMaster, Product Owner and Agile Leadership courses for multiple teams from globally recognized organizations. We also provide Agile coaching for great companies, helping them with their Agile journey. We are planning a series of free virtual meetups for our Agile friends. Meetup with David Hawks and Bob Sarni – October 27, 2021 Intro to Path to Agility – an Outcome-Driven Agile Transformation Framework About this virtual meetup While many organizations operate in an Agile way, they are still not fully realizing Agile’s benefits. There has been tremendous focus on implementing all of the Agile practices without understanding if and how the various Agile frameworks, tools, and skills are driving results. Path to Agility is the solution to this growing problem. Path to Agility orients your Agile transformation around guiding business outcomes like speed, market responsiveness, and customer satisfaction. The Agile transformation framework then identifies the right Agile outcomes and capabilities that your organization should focus on to help you build your transformation roadmap.

So You Turned Your Project Managers Into ScrumMasters - Brian O'Fallon - Keep...

Agile Velocity

Agile implementations are rarely a green field, and most organizations will try to map existing roles to new agile roles. Project managers become scrum masters. Business analysts become product owners. Or perhaps product managers should be the product owners instead? Technical delivery managers should become what exactly? In his Keep Austin Agile 2018 session, Brian O'Fallon shares some common patterns of role transitions, including pitfalls to avoid and strategies to employ that smooth the transition to your new agile organization.

Projects Are Evil - David Hawks, Agile 2018

Agile Velocity

Explore the slides from David Hawks' Agile 2018 talk, Projects Are Evil. David led the group through a set of discovery exercises so the audience can understand their current biases. As the group unraveled what they truly value most, they saw how those values are impacted by a project-driven mindset. Then, they transformed this list of values into a new Agile Manifesto, walking away from the talk with actionable items to take back to their organizations to help create a value-driven mindset.

Webinar - Why Agile Transformations Fail

Agile Velocity

We operate in a world of exponentially increasing market disruption. It is more important than ever for organizations to achieve organizational agility, which is why many companies are embarking on Agile Transformations. However, few of them are realizing the full agile results promised--and needed. In fact, over 50% of all Agile transformations fail. In this webinar, David explored how leaders can guide their organizations past common barriers to transformation and accelerate momentum towards true organizational agility using a proven transformation framework, the Path to Agility®. Key takeaways include: - 4 impediments slowing down the transformation or preventing significant gains from Agile - How an organization develops new capabilities by implementing Agile practices - How those capabilities result in agile outcomes and better agility for an organization - The ability to assess your current state of agility and where to focus efforts in the near term

Webinar: Scaling Agility: 5 Practices to Get Your Organization Started

Agile Velocity

Agile ‘thinking’ can seem simple until you look at adopting an Agile methodology across an organization. Then it can become daunting, or at a minimum complex. Any way you look at it, most of us need some guidance to get and keep the ball rolling to empower our organizations to change. In this webinar, Mike and Bryan discussed different tactics and practices that organizations can take as they begin to scale agility across the organization. Key takeaways include: – Signs it’s time to start scaling agility – 5 practices your organization can implement to begin scaling agility – Tips for evolving these practices into a framework that’s right for your culture Learn how your organization can combat growing pains and increase agility.

Today, most Agile leaders are trying to achieve predictable, fast delivery. While that’s good, it’s no longer good enough—not if we want to keep up in this highly competitive, rapidly changing world. Next Level Agility is about the ability of an entire organization to quickly adapt to market changes. In this session at Dallas Agile Leadership Network, David Hawks shared principles and practices that are the future of Agile organizations. LEARNING OBJECTIVES - Learn 3 key reasons for creating the urgency to improve - Understand the mindset that is holding us back - Discover 5 practices for evolving Agile to the next level

User Stories Suck by David Hawks at North Dallas Product Owners Meetup

Agile Velocity

The User Story concept was invented almost 20 years ago, it’s time for an update. This outdated process supports an old way of working focused on predictable requirements delivery instead of product discovery. Wouldn’t you like to know much earlier which features are not going to be valued by your market? We need techniques that shorten the feedback loop with customers, not stakeholders. We need to prioritize based on riskiest assumptions and iterate quickly through small experiments in order to (in)validate our ideas as fast as possible.

Organizational Agility: Take Agile Beyond the Team - Webinar w/ David Hawks

Agile Velocity

The benefits of total organizational agility can be seen in many of the world’s largest companies--think Google, Apple, and Amazon. While they may not explicitly call themselves capital-“A” Agile, they work with a heavy emphasis on Agile principles like a focus on delivering value, shortened feedback loops, quick time-to-market, and an opposition to traditional top-down management techniques. These principles go beyond teams. Instead, they are ingrained throughout the whole organization and its culture. As a result, these companies have the ability to change and adapt to their markets and have now grown into industry leaders. How did they do it? What can you learn from the changes they’ve made? In this webinar, David Hawks discusses 7 ways your organization can begin operating more like some of the top companies in the world. Key discussion points include: - What is organizational agility and what are the benefits? - 7 ways to bring organizational agility to your business - Why is it imperative to apply Agile principles across the whole organization? - Q&A with the audience Looking for guidance during your Agile transformation?
