Step-by-Step Guide to Leading a Large-Scale Agile TransformationTechWell
A few years ago everyone wanted to know how to convince their executives to go agile. Today, executives are asking their teams how they'll make the transformation. We have made significant progress changing the hearts and minds of senior leadership, but executives now demand a greater level of assurance that the plan is actually going to work. Executives are tired of being told to trust the team and that everything will be okay. Executives want to know how agile is going to help make things better. Mike Cottmeyer begins by discussing the elements of an agile transformation business case and how to identify a meaningful value proposition for change. Next, he considers how to assess the organization and build an agile transformation strategy and roadmap that encourage an iterative and incremental approach to change. Finally, Mike explores the metrics and controls that help you know if you're on the right track. Explore the change management and engagement techniques necessary to make sure you are building meaningful organizational support as you engage the enterprise.
Lean practices are best known for identifying and removing waste in the processes, activities and products. Value stream mapping and synchronisation are just a few ways in which Lean helps with streamlining the processes in product development.
Learn from Texavi, the leaders in IT consulting, training and solutions on how to implement Lean thinking and working to identify, manage and remove defects in the product development workflows.
Understand how the powerful techniques such as PDCA,DMAIC, Pull theory come handy in removing the excess fat in the processes and get down to the real deal in a efficient and cost-effective manner.

"Scrum Works! Really!" : Presented by Santosh ShaastryoGuild .
Scrum has been a leading Agile framework for a decade now. Definitely speaks volumes of the simplicity in it’s design.
We have seen and heard of many organizations that build software which adopt Scrum and their success stories.
I presented a case study outside software development, in our day-day life, where I applied ScrumBan and how it led to an amazing improvement in the quality of life.
In this presentation, I explained how our apartment complex used to be managed earlier. And how after I brought in Scrum methodology, we achieved many milestones in the last 3 months. I also presented the challenges we faced and provide tips on how to overcome those.
Leanban: The Next Step in the Evolution of AgileLeanKit
I'll introduce you to Leanban, which uses Lean thinking as a guide to incorporate the best of Scrum and Kanban into Agile software development practices.
Wrap up the rest of the year with smoother well-defined projects and a toolbox of skills and resources to help you organize and bring projects to life. Whenever you are putting a project together, it is essential to keep timelines in check, follow up, and watch out for scope creep. In this webinar, Brian Pichman will discuss different project management techniques and tools to help you not only have a successful project but more importantly, a well defined and detailed project launch. By having a solid foundation and a few easy-to-use tools, you can significantly reduce that project management stress and be more excited for the next project you tackle!
Leading a large-scale agile transformation isn’t about adopting a new set of attitudes, processes, and behaviors at the team level… it’s about helping your company deliver faster to market, and developing the ability to respond to a rapidly-changing competitive landscape. First and foremost, it’s about achieving business agility. Business agility comes from people having clarity of purpose, a willingness to be held accountable, and the ability to achieve measurable outcomes. Unfortunately, almost everything in modern organizations gets in the way of teams acting with any sort of autonomy. In most companies, achieving business agility requires significant organizational change.
Agile transformation necessitates a fundamental rethinking of how your company organizes for delivery, how it delivers value to its customers, and how it plans and measures outcomes. Agile transformation is about building enabling structures, aligning the flow of work, and measuring for outcomes based progress. It's about breaking dependencies. The reality is that this kind of change can only be led from the top. This talk will explore how executives can define an idealized end-state for the transformation, build a fiscally responsible iterative and incremental plan to realize that end-state, as well as techniques for tracking progress and managing change.

Speaker: Phil Heijkoop, ALM Works
Adopting agile methodologies in a large organization is never easy—what looks great on paper, may not work in real life. Luckily, Jira offers the flexibility to support almost any process. And it can adapt to changes as the process evolves. In this session we'll talk about some of the challenges associated with Scaling Agile, the things you need to consider when choosing the right Jira apps, and some of the successful approaches we've seen customers use. We’ll show you some easily-implemented use cases for common agile rituals such as PI planning, release planning, and backlog grooming, at scale.
Remote Working in a SAFe Environment: Collaborative Online Meetings and Fully...Cprime
While both the Agile manifesto and SAFe highlight the benefits of face-to-face communication, it has often been the case that organizations need to work remotely. The reasons for this can be varied – it may be due to very large teams in highly distributed locations, extensive travel time and cost commitments, or even as the result of unplanned travel restrictions, such as those being currently experienced.
This last scenario has led to a fully remote situation, where everyone is working from a separate location, interacting with colleagues through the use of technology.
This can lead to certain challenges, and in this webinar we will share guidance for successfully facilitating a fully distributed PI Planning event and leading collaborative online meetings.
In this Webinar, experts Andrew Sales (Scaled Agile), and Mike Carew (Cprime) will cover the following:
*Guiding the necessary behaviors for remote working with a Lean-Agile mindset
*Techniques for leading collaborative online meetings
*Overcoming pitfalls and success patterns for remote events
*Preparing and facilitating a successful, fully distributed PI Planning
*Recent experiences from Scaled Agile and their first remote PI Planning

DOES SFO 2016 - Paula Thrasher & Kevin Stanley - Building Brilliant Teams Gene Kim
After an initial DevOps transformation as a company, we had to grapple with how to scale and grow the talent and workforce to build a NextGen DevOps-minded company of 18,000+ people. We have built a number of programs to expand awareness, encourage growth mindsets, and drive workforce development. We will share the different ways we are working to "Build Brilliant Teams" to drive our DevOps transformations.

Agile Without Tools: Get Started with MS Office or Google Suite at Low Cost ...Darrel Raynor
Google Suites or Microsoft Office 365, are all you need to start your Agile Implementation! Senior Leaders and Staff are told they need to first buy or trial Tools to guide their Agile Implementation.
This is bass-ackwards!
Vendors and consultants drive Agile Implementations. They are paid by the number of seats you buy. Don’t buy into that! Use familiar tools to leverage hyperlinks and collaborations.
Lay out, pilot, and implement Agile processes across at least a couple of teams. Tweak those processes over a couple of projects. Then track how much manual time you are spending, then consider Software Tools.
Today we show how to use your free or low-cost productivity tools at your shop. You can start, pilot, and implement Agile without buying tools.
Interim Executives: When Should You Bring Them In and What Should You Expect ...Darrel Raynor

Innotech DFW Business Transformation Change Management for Successful ProjectsDarrel Raynor
Do your projects or operations improvement efforts stall or worse, end up not successful?
We have found that most failing projects and other efforts do so for the lack of real Business Transformation Change Management.
Without a real change plan, valuable time and cost can be wasted when adoption lags or completely falls off. This is the real measure of project success, not on: time, budget, scope…
If real use is not attained, waste wins.
We go over how to ensure the success of your efforts, and that takes real work!
We discuss specifics on how to drive change into your organization.

The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.

Comparing Stability and Sustainability in Agile SystemsRob Healy
Copy of the presentation given at XP2024 based on a research paper.
In this paper we explain wat overwork is and the physical and mental health risks associated with it.
We then explore how overwork relates to system stability and inventory.
Finally there is a call to action for Team Leads / Scrum Masters / Managers to measure and monitor excess work for individual teams.
