Learn how the Scaled Agile Framework ensures the process of continuously improving the quality of the work delivered in a Program Increment, through Inspect and Adapt.
This document discusses the importance of inspecting and adapting work processes through continuous improvement. It outlines several key points:
1) Effective software development requires transparently identifying issues and being ready to change based on lessons learned.
2) The Agile Manifesto and Principles emphasize responding to change over rigid plans and regularly reflecting to improve.
3) Inspecting and adapting helps make teams more effective by addressing weaknesses and building on strengths.
4) Retrospectives should engage the whole team, identify successes and opportunities, and generate actionable commitments for improvement.
The Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) is an agile framework for enterprise-scale organizations. It addresses challenges of architecture, integration, funding, and roles at scale. SAFe has three levels - portfolio, program, and team. At the portfolio level, investment themes drive budget allocations. The program level uses Agile Release Trains of 5-10 teams to deliver value in 10 week iterations. Teams use Scrum or Kanban with 2 week iterations. SAFe aims to apply lean-agile principles at an enterprise scale.

When I needed to do presentations of Scrum to executives and students, I started to look for existing ones. Most presentations I found were very good for detailed presentations or training. But what I was looking for was a presentation I could give in less than 15 minutes (or more if I wanted). Most of them also contained out dated content. For example, the latest changes in the Scrum framework were not present and what has been removed was still there.

The document discusses challenges with enterprise agile transformations and proposes solutions. It notes that while having agile teams is good, true enterprise agility requires alignment across the organization. Focusing only on teams can cause problems if other areas are not adapted. True agile practices require changes at all levels from teams to portfolio. The solution involves establishing the right competencies at each level, adapting practices for scale and cadence, and addressing organizational structure, processes, and culture changes together.
Periodic Table of Agile Principles and PracticesJérôme Kehrli
Recently I fell by chance on the Periodic Table of the Elements... Long time no see... Remembering my physics lessons in University, I always loved that table. I remembered spending hours understanding the layout and admiring the beauty of its natural simplicity.
So I had the idea of trying the same layout, not the same approach since both are not comparable, really only the same layout for Agile Principles and Practices.
The result is in this presentation: The Periodic Table of Agile Principles and Practices:
The document provides an introduction to agile methods for executives. It discusses how agile approaches can help organizations adapt to increasingly volatile business environments. The key benefits of agile include shorter time to market, increased productivity, improved alignment with business needs, and greater predictability. The document outlines agile concepts like iterative development, minimal viable products, continuous delivery and focus on customer value. It also summarizes common agile frameworks like Scrum and how agility can be scaled in large organizations.

Exploring Agile Transformation and Scaling PatternsMike Cottmeyer
The goal of any enterprise agile adoption strategy is NOT to adopt agile. Companies adopt agile to achieve better business outcomes. Large organizations have no time for dogma and one-size-fits-all thinking when it comes to introducing agile practices. These companies need pragmatic guidance for safely and incrementally introducing structure, principles, and ultimately practices that will result in greater long term, sustainable business results. This talk will introduce a framework for safely, pragmatically, and incrementally introducing agile to help you achieve your business goals.
Enterprise Agile Coaching - Professional Agile Coaching #3Cprime
“Agile coach” is a term that is thrown around pretty loosely these days. But what exactly is an agile coach? How do they differ from the more tactical roles, like ScrumMaster? And how do organizations find the agile coaches that are right for them?
In the final session of our “Professional Agile Coaching” series, we’ll examine how organizations can build an Enterprise Agile Coaching strategy. We’ll look at:
• When to use an external versus internal coach

IBM DevOps - Adopting Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) WebinarReedy Feggins Jr
Reedy Feggins presents on scaling agile practices. He has over 15 years of software development experience including certifications in SAFe, Scrum, and Project Management. Innovation is increasingly driven by software, but software development faces challenges like changing requirements, unpredictable delivery, and high costs. Agile frameworks aim to address these challenges but don't scale beyond the team level. The Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) provides a proven approach for applying agile practices at an enterprise scale through alignment, collaboration, and synchronized delivery across many teams. SAFe has helped other organizations increase productivity, speed time to market, and reduce defects.
The Values and Principles of Agile Software DevelopmentBrad Appleton
The document discusses the values and principles of agile software development. It begins by introducing the presenter and their experience and background. It then outlines the core values of agile development as defined in the Agile Manifesto: individuals and interactions, working software, customer collaboration, and responding to change. The document continues by explaining that principles guide behavior towards upholding these values. It proceeds to define several key agile principles in more detail, including continuous delivery of customer value, welcoming change, and collaborating daily across functions.
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.
This document provides an overview of different software development processes including the waterfall model, iterative model, Rational Unified Process (RUP), and Agile Development Process (ADP). It describes the key aspects of each process including phases, roles, artifacts, and ceremonies. Specifically, it provides detailed explanations of Scrum, an agile methodology, including Scrum roles like Product Owner and Scrum Master, ceremonies like the Daily Scrum, and artifacts like the Product Backlog and Sprint Backlog. The document concludes with references for further information.
This document discusses transforming organizations to agile practices. It begins by outlining common goals for going agile such as predictability, quality, and innovation. It then discusses considerations for transformation based on organization size and dependencies. The key aspects for transformation are identified as backlogs, teams, and working tested software. Governance structures, metrics, and teaming strategies are also discussed. Transformation is framed as a journey, and quadrants are used to illustrate where organizations are currently and where they aim to go.

This talk will cover the basics of organization design, exploring a selection of key team topologies and how and when to use them in order to make the development and operation of your software systems as effective as possible. The talk is based on experience helping companies around the world with the design of their teams.
Takeaways:
- The implications of Conway’s Law for software teams
- Cognitive Load for teams
- Effective team topologies
- Team evolution
A project is a temporary endeavor undertaken to create a unique product or service. Agile project management focuses on iterative development, self-organizing teams, early customer involvement and flexibility. Some key aspects of agile include continuous integration, iterations to develop features in short cycles, and pair programming where two developers work together.
Ken France presented on real world business agility. He discussed how business agility allows organizations to rapidly adapt to changes in the market. He defined business agility and explained how it relates to DevOps. France also covered how to implement agile practices within business teams and the different levels of maturity an organization can progress through when integrating agility into the business. The presentation provided examples and a case study on how one large retail organization scaled agile.
This document discusses Agile project planning and estimation techniques. It notes that estimates are often wrong due to factors like changing requirements, irrelevant information, and anchoring biases. Instead of estimating time, Agile recommends estimating the relative size of features and measuring team velocity over iterations to forecast release plans and timelines. Estimates should be done by developers and re-estimated continuously throughout the project rather than relying on early estimates.
Certified Scrum trainer and author Mike Cohn shows how to succeed with agile through the ADAPT process: Awareness, Desire, Ability, Promotion and Transfer.
A Scrum Master facilitates the Scrum process, creates rhythm and sets expectations for projects and team members. They facilitate daily stand-ups and meetings, enhance communication, and act as an approachable coach through 1:1 meetings and active listening. Scrum Masters also train teams, products, and the organization on Agile practices.

When it is all about ERP solutions, companies typically meet their needs with common ERP solutions like SAP, Oracle, and Microsoft Dynamics. These big players have demonstrated that ERP systems can be either simple or highly comprehensive. This remains true today, but there are new factors to consider, including a promising new contender in the market that’s Odoo. This blog compares Odoo ERP with traditional ERP systems and explains why many companies now see Odoo ERP as the best choice.
What are ERP Systems?
An ERP, or Enterprise Resource Planning, system provides your company with valuable information to help you make better decisions and boost your ROI. You should choose an ERP system based on your company’s specific needs. For instance, if you run a manufacturing or retail business, you will need an ERP system that efficiently manages inventory. A consulting firm, on the other hand, would benefit from an ERP system that enhances daily operations. Similarly, eCommerce stores would select an ERP system tailored to their needs.
Because different businesses have different requirements, ERP system functionalities can vary. Among the various ERP systems available, Odoo ERP is considered one of the best in the ERp market with more than 12 million global users today.
Odoo is an open-source ERP system initially designed for small to medium-sized businesses but now suitable for a wide range of companies. Odoo offers a scalable and configurable point-of-sale management solution and allows you to create customised modules for specific industries. Odoo is gaining more popularity because it is built in a way that allows easy customisation, has a user-friendly interface, and is affordable. Here, you will cover the main differences and get to know why Odoo is gaining attention despite the many other ERP systems available in the market.

Hand Rolled Applicative User ValidationCode KataPhilip Schwarz
Could you use a simple piece of Scala validation code (granted, a very simplistic one too!) that you can rewrite, now and again, to refresh your basic understanding of Applicative operators <*>, <*, *>?
The goal is not to write perfect code showcasing validation, but rather, to provide a small, rough-and ready exercise to reinforce your muscle-memory.
Despite its grandiose-sounding title, this deck consists of just three slides showing the Scala 3 code to be rewritten whenever the details of the operators begin to fade away.
The code is my rough and ready translation of a Haskell user-validation program found in a book called Finding Success (and Failure) in Haskell - Fall in love with applicative functors.

UI5con 2024 - Bring Your Own Design SystemPeter Muessig
How do you combine the OpenUI5/SAPUI5 programming model with a design system that makes its controls available as Web Components? Since OpenUI5/SAPUI5 1.120, the framework supports the integration of any Web Components. This makes it possible, for example, to natively embed own Web Components of your design system which are created with Stencil. The integration embeds the Web Components in a way that they can be used naturally in XMLViews, like with standard UI5 controls, and can be bound with data binding. Learn how you can also make use of the Web Components base class in OpenUI5/SAPUI5 to also integrate your Web Components and get inspired by the solution to generate a custom UI5 library providing the Web Components control wrappers for the native ones.

2. Inspect and Adapt is a problem solving workshop
where the solution created by the Agile Release Train
or the Solution Train is demonstrated and evaluated
by the teams.
3. It is an event where the teams identify the pain
points or any aspects of the solution that can be
improved for the upcoming program increments thus
guaranteeing continuous improvement.
6. System Demo
1
The solution is demonstrated with proper staging
Led by the product management and facilitated by the Release
Train Engineer
The performance of the Program Increment is evaluated by the
Program Increment Performance Report
This report has the objectives that had to be achieved in the
Program Increment
Business owners assign a value to each objective
The values then can be used to calculate the Achievement
Percentage
7. Quantitative Measure
2
The Program Predictability Matrix is used to convey the
percentage of what was actually delivered
By using the achievement percentage for each objective, a graph
is plotted
The trend of the achievement percentage is compared with the
trend of the original planned value
This report has the objectives that had to be achieved in the
Program Increment
The value has to be between 80-100% to ensure optimum flow
8. Retrospective
3
Problems of the Program Increment are addressed, selected by
the teams and prioritized
A time limit is set for discussing the problems
9. Problem Solving Workshop
4
If the problems that need to be discussed in the retrospective
exceed the set time limit, then a Problem solving workshop is held
Led by the Release Train Engineer
Using Root Cause Analysis Method to handle large problems
Problem is stated and Root Cause Analysis is applied
With the problem identified, a solution is thought of by brain
storming
Once a solution is reached, items in the backlog are updated and
improved for the next Program Increment
