The document discusses achieving sustainable agility at scale. It begins by introducing Ahmed Sidky and his experience in agile transformation. It then presents a hypothetical scenario of a CIO trying to quickly transform a large IT organization of 3,000 people to agile. However, the summary notes that the CIO's plan focuses more on process change than culture transformation and may not lead to sustainable organizational agility. The document goes on to discuss the differences between industrial and knowledge work mindsets and fixed versus agile mindsets. It emphasizes that agile is first a mindset described by values and principles before specific practices. Achieving organizational agility requires transforming the entire organizational culture and ecosystem, not just processes.
What changes are needed in management and leadership to move towards the new lean culture of creative and knowledge work?
My presentation from Agile Finland's Modern Agile Breakfast.
The document discusses agile transformation and cultural change using a lean approach to change management. It describes how organizational culture is like a memeplex that defends against foreign ideas like agility. It advocates using lean change management principles like minimal viable change to introduce agile practices and influence culture. The document recommends establishing a change coalition and change agents to drive transformation through initiatives like creating an inspiring vision, improving feedback, and measuring employee happiness. The overall approach presented is to transform culture, not just adopt practices, by focusing on people and why change is needed.
This document discusses Ahmed Sidky's experience with evolving agile leadership at Riot Games. It describes how Riot decoupled traditional leadership responsibilities across new roles like Team Captain, Delivery Lead, and Product Lead. It also discusses how Riot invested in growing the skills and competencies needed for these agile leadership roles through learning, mentoring and practice. The document provides examples of responsibilities for each role and emphasizes that leadership is about accountability and enabling the team to share responsibility.
Agile is both a set of practices and a mindset. Success lies in understanding both “Doing Agile” as well as “Being Agile”. In this hands-on session, 5 key practices to support an Agile Mindset will be demonstrated so that you have some practical tools use immediately at work. You will also be left with some deeper challenges about what it takes achieve Organizational Agility.
The document discusses enabling business agility through IT. It summarizes that technology trends like cloud, mobility, big data are accelerating and converging, providing new business opportunities but also changing the competitive landscape. It argues that IT needs to shift its focus from efficiency to productivity, innovation and competitive differentiation to better support business agility. The document then presents frameworks for developing agile IT, including adopting lean thinking, design thinking, adaptive workforce and using customer interaction models to structure delivery and operations.
The document discusses different mindsets and how they affect our lives and work. It describes a fixed mindset where people believe their abilities are set and can't change, versus a growth mindset where people believe their abilities can develop over time through effort. Having a growth mindset creates resilience and a love of learning. The document suggests that organizations also have mindsets and can be either fixed or growth oriented. It provides tips on assessing your own and your organization's mindset and how to cultivate a growth mindset.

This document discusses the agile mindset and contrasts it with the traditional waterfall mindset. It defines mindset as a person's way of thinking and opinions. The agile mindset values individuals and interactions, customer collaboration, responding to change, and valuing working software over documentation. It also discusses agile principles, practices like Scrum and Kanban, and the differences between doing agile and having an agile mindset. The document contrasts fixed and growth mindsets and provides indicators of an agile mindset at both the team and organizational levels. It also discusses common agile pitfalls and provides resources for further reading.
The document discusses the role of managers in agile organizations. It suggests that managers focus on empowering self-organizing teams, removing impediments, teaching problem-solving skills, and stimulating continuous improvement and growth across the organization. Effective agile leadership involves roles like servant leadership, host leadership, and defining one's scope of influence at the relationship and organizational levels. Managers should invest in learning through coaching, mentoring, and developing learning organizations with principles like systems thinking and shared vision.
The document discusses goals for adopting agile practices like predictability, quality, early ROI, lower costs, and innovation. It then covers considerations for transformation based on organization size, dependencies between teams, and resistance to change. Finally, it outlines key elements of transformation including backlogs, teams, and working tested software and discusses governance structures with portfolio, program, and delivery teams.
The Secret, Yet Obvious, Ingredient to Sustainable AgilityAhmed Sidky
This was a presentation I gave at Ciklum in Kiev, Ukraine and at ScrumTrek in Moscow, Russia. The presentation discuss the notion of Agile and agility and then talks about what people should do to have sustainable agile. They key to sustainable agile is education. By educated, and changing the mindset of everyone in the company, then you will have sustainable agility. However, if you just focus on strategy, structure, and processes, but don't change the mindset and culture and habits of people it will not be sustainable. The presentation introduces the learning roadmap developed by the International Consortium for Agile (ICAgile) as a path organizations should pursue to engage their people in a common educational journey about agile and agility not Scrum or any particular process.
The International Consortium for Agile (ICAgile) accredits training organizations, corporations, academic institutes and government entities, thereby providing their members with over 20 knowledge-based and competency-based certifications to pursue, based on the ICAgile Learning Roadmap created by experts from around the world.
ICAgile is the only certification and accreditation body to offer knowledge-based and competency-based certifications in every discipline needed to sustain agility in an organization. ICAgile has engaged over 40 International Agile gurus and experts to create the most comprehensive agile learning roadmap.
ICAgile's Learning Roadmap is intentionally designed to focus on the education of agile not on any particular flavor or methodology of agile to ensure that every organization, can utilize the educational roadmap as it matures and customizes it agile processes and practices. ICAgile’s Learning Roadmap includes over 20 different certifications covering the disciplines of Agile Executive Leadership, Agile Coaching and Facilitation, Agile Enterprise Coaching, Agile Project Management and Governance, Agile Value Management and Business Analysis, Agile Software Design and Programming, and Agile Testing.
This guide summaries a successful Agile transformation in Telco with a related case study.

Learning agility refers to the ability and willingness to learn from experiences and apply that learning to perform successfully in new situations. It involves welcoming diverse experiences, thinking to make sense of them, being flexible and adapting easily. Key factors of learning agility include mental agility, people agility, results agility, change agility, and self-awareness agility. An agile learner displays eagerness to learn about themselves, others, and ideas with a genuine willingness to learn from feedback and experiment thoughtfully with resilience and idealism regarding change.
Agile is actually an approach and a Mindset, whereas most people misunderstand it as a set of practices. There are umpteen examples of people implementing the Agile practices and artefacts, but are failing to get the intended positive results. This is a classic problem of ‘doing Agile’ as opposed to aiming to ‘be Agile’. The key to getting the optimal benefits is having the Agile Mindset.
Mindset is abstract and hence one needs to understand it based on what is visible in behaviours, policies etc. The talk is about not only what these visible characteristics are, but also about what can be some of the enablers to move towards achieving the Agile Mindset. It has been proven that Leadership of an organization plays a key role in enabling the right Mindset, and hence this talk is meant for Leaders.

Linda rising - the power of an agile mindsetMagneta AI
I‘ve wondered for some time whether much of Agile’s success was the result of the placebo effect, that is, good things happened because we believed they would.
The placebo effect is a startling reminder of the power our minds have over our perceived reality. Now cognitive scientists tell us that this is only a small part of what our minds can do.
Research has identified what I like to call «an agile mindset», an attitude that equates failure and problems with opportunities for learning, a belief that we can all improve over time, that our abilities are not fixed but evolve with effort.
What’s surprising about this research is the impact of an agile mindset on creativity and innovation, estimation, and collaboration in and out of the workplace.
I’ll relate what’s known about this mindset and share some practical suggestions that can help all of us become even more agile.
While most organization seek increased agility, many struggle. Studies indicate leadership is a key barrier. These slides provide an overview of Agile Leadership and how to develop it.

We all know how important is trust for any team to deliver results. The question is, how to build trust in practice? We all heard that agile teams should be self-managed. The question is, how to develop a team that is able to self-manage and achieve results? We all understood that cross-functionality is crucial for development teams to be able to deliver "done" functionalities and absorb variations in the demand. The question is, how to make it happen in real life when companies are still hiring specialists? Some of our Agile teams have Scrum masters. The questions are, do we really need a Scrum Master? What should we expect from a good one? Using real-life examples from companies that made Agile their competitive advantage and from companies that failed to get results from Agile. Angel is going to share practical tools that you can use as a manager, leader, scrum master or team member to make trust, self-management, cross-functionality, and high performance a reality in your team.

General introduction to agile practices like Scrum and Kanban. Also covers what situations Agile is best at, what situations Agile doesn't help with, and what an Agile team should look like. This deck is a general intro to Agile for OpenSource Connections clients.
The document provides advice and a system for achieving results in a flexible, agile way. It discusses challenges like being overloaded and lacking control. The proposed system includes weekly planning, prioritizing the top 3 daily goals, and focusing efforts on areas of strength and passion. Key insights include spending time on the right things the right way, finding motivation, and balancing work and life by setting boundaries and time limits. The system emphasizes writing your life story forward in a day-to-day, adaptable manner.
Fostering an agile culture requires understanding why agile processes are used and how they interconnect. It also requires embracing metaphors to explain teamwork, hiring for cultural fit over just skills, using metrics that don't encourage unsustainable work, and incentivizing growth and learning over short-term gains. Developing an agile culture centered around collaboration, adaptation, and sustainable pace will lead to better software development outcomes.
30 psychological truths that drive agile adoption and its failureCaoilte Dunne
How are the outcomes of children adopted post-World War II related to the success of your agile transformation? How can pressure to achieve high velocity actually cause its absence?
Everybody has a different agile story. Maybe yours is an amazing project where empowerment and accomplishment was a common occurrence. Maybe it is a never ending slog through awful days with occasional standups. This talk focuses on the drivers, flaws and systems of human behaviors that allow for both of these outcomes.
People are at the heart of agile and psychology. I combine both worlds - leveraging the work of over 30 noted psychologists including Watzlawick, Skinner, Maslow - to explore how people can cause agile adoption, agile failure and agile recovery. This talk not only covers how psychology suggests patterns to help people relate to one other but also how people use and abuse data both consciously and unconsciously.
After this presentation you should be able to look at your current project through a new lens. You will have the ability to identify and understand the gaps, and appreciate the things you, and your team, are doing right.
Project Retrospectives are an important part of any software development process. The Principles Behind the Agile Manifesto state that, "At regular intervals, the team reflects on how to become more effective, then tunes and adjusts its behavior accordingly." How can this be done? By taking the time to reflect and learn and proactively determine what should be done differently in the next iteration, release, or project. Linda's presentation will introduce techniques for project retrospectives, whether they are agile or not. The techniques help teams discover what they’re doing well so that successful practices can continue and identify what should be done differently to improve performance. Retrospectives are not finger pointing or blaming sessions, but rather a highly effective process in which teams reflect on the past to become more productive in the future. Linda will share her experiences with leading retrospectives of several kinds for dozens of projects—successful and unsuccessful, small and large, in academia and industry. Her lessons learned can be applied to any project to enable teams and organizations to become learning organizations.

Why Are We Stuck? Getting Agile Teams On The Path To Continuous ImprovementAgile Velocity
When things are going well, it is difficult to find motivation to go from good to great.
As an Agile leader, it’s important to be able to identify the symptoms your team or team-of-teams start to exhibit when they get stuck – when their momentum for positive growth and change stalls or plateaus – and what to do about it.
Presented at Global Scrum Gathering Minneapolis, this session was a highly interactive workshop with group discussions, table talks and concept centers that provided you with a toolbox to identify symptoms of a stuck team, determine why they are stuck, activities to get them unstuck and highlight potential dysfunctions and over-correction patterns.

Designing and Sustaining Large-Scale Value-Centered Agile Ecosystems (powered...Alexey Krivitsky
Is Agile dead? It depends on what you mean by 'Agile'. If you mean that the organizations are not getting the promised benefits because they were focusing too much on the team-level agile "ways of working" instead of systemic global improvements -- then we are in agreement. It is a misunderstanding of Agility that led us down a dead-end. At Org Topologies, we see bright sparks -- the signs of the 'second wave of Agile' as we call it. The emphasis is shifting towards both in-team and inter-team collaboration. Away from false dichotomies. Both: team autonomy and shared broad product ownership are required to sustain true result-oriented organizational agility. Org Topologies is a package offering a visual language plus thinking tools required to communicate org development direction and can be used to help design and then sustain org change aiming at higher organizational archetypes.
From Concept to reality : Implementing Lean Managements DMAIC Methodology for...Rokibul Hasan
The Ready-Made Garments (RMG) industry in Bangladesh is a cornerstone of the economy, but increasing costs and stagnant productivity pose significant challenges to profitability. This study explores the implementation of Lean Management in the Sampling Section of RMG factories to enhance productivity. Drawing from a comprehensive literature review, theoretical framework, and action research methodology, the study identifies key areas for improvement and proposes solutions.
Through the DMAIC approach (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control), the research identifies low productivity as the primary problem in the Sampling Section, with a PPH (Productivity per head) of only 4.0. Using Lean Management techniques such as 5S, Standardized work, PDCA/Kaizen, KANBAN, and Quick Changeover, the study addresses issues such as pre and post Quick Changeover (QCO) time, improper line balancing, and sudden plan changes.
The research employs regression analysis to test hypotheses, revealing a significant correlation between reducing QCO time and increasing productivity. With a regression equation of Y = -0.000501X + 6.72 and an R-squared value of 0.98, the study demonstrates a strong relationship between the independent variables (QCO downtime and improper line balancing downtime) and the dependent variable (productivity per head).
The findings suggest that by implementing Lean Management practices and addressing key productivity inhibitors, RMG factories can achieve substantial improvements in efficiency and profitability. The study provides valuable insights for practitioners, policymakers, and researchers seeking to enhance productivity in the RMG industry and similar manufacturing sectors.

Impact of Effective Performance Appraisal Systems on Employee Motivation and ...Dr. Nazrul Islam
Healthy economic development requires properly managing the banking industry of any
country. Along with state-owned banks, private banks play a critical role in the country's economy.
Managers in all types of banks now confront the same challenge: how to get the utmost output from
their employees. Therefore, Performance appraisal appears to be inevitable since it set the
standard for comparing actual performance to established objectives and recommending practical
solutions that help the organization achieve sustainable growth. Therefore, the purpose of this
research is to determine the effect of performance appraisal on employee motivation and retention.

While agile has entered the post-mainstream age, possibly losing its mojo along the way, the rise of remote working is dealing a more severe blow than its industrialization.
In this talk we'll have a look to the cumulative effect of the constraints of a remote working environment and of the common countermeasures.

Rational Thinking
Limited capability of handling attention

15. All the facial expressions - the decoding happens
by other person automatically . This is based on his
or her perception. ( emotional link ) . We also start
estimating the next course of action based on the
facial expression .
The intuitive side of the brain works
In all mathematical calculations it is your cognitive
brain
Working memory
VARIOUS FACIAL
EXPRESSION
16. THE PROCESS OF PASSING ISSUES FROM L TO R SLOWS
DOWN YOUR BRAIN
20. Now the “L “ side of the brain is intuitive ,quick
, prompt and responds spontaneously . L side of
the brain works on perceptions .
“R” side requires extra energy and effort to get
moulded in analytical approach .
Body has a limited power and hence there is a
limited power for brain to work , so Brain R
doesn’t want to consume lot of energy .
So it remains in an effortless state .
Only Controls and manages your behavioural
aspects like anger etc.
THE SYSTEM
“L “ & “R”
OF THE BRAIN

21. “L” SIDE OF THE BRAIN -
WHICH LINE IS BIGGER ??
22.
23. “R”- SIDE OF THE
BRAIN
Only comes into action where the nature of the
problem is serious and requires attention.
COUNT 1 – 9 ( it is effortless )
If I have to switch on to 1 A , 2 B , 3 C , 4 d , 5
E-----then efforts are required .
At this stage “PART R “of your brain is working ,
your attentive system ceases down but those
who can do it faster are suppose to be
intelligent . BUT may not be rational .
EXAMPLE :
A bat and a ball cost 1.1 $
The bat costs 1 $ more than the ball
How much does the ball costs ?
“ WE ARE BLIND TOWARDS OUR IGNORANCE AND GOOD IN FINDING MISTAKES IN OTHERS “
26. PLANNING FALLACY
While planning we take our strong views and if you are a good
leader you take views from your team as well.
( System A of your brain works , for success of your planning )
Question : WHAT WE ARE NOT TAKING INTO ACCOUNT WHILE
PLANING ???
What we are missing : Plan for fallouts
Not thinking on the reasons for the failure
Go for base rate – for success and failure
EXAMPLE : Legal cases
( hence you support the people who gives support to your views )
Similarly less assertive or low confident team is not liked by the
board
The damaged caused by the overconfident CEO gets further
enhanced , if he is projected as a celebrity .
WHAT IS MISSING ?
Competition neglect : Zero sum game
Working on WYSIATI
We focus on our plan – where is the base rate effect
Focus on our plan – where is the planning of others
Illusion of control – we strongly believe on our skills , we believe
that the situation is within my control
