Doing Agile Right - Transformation without Chaos - A summaryRagavendra Prasath
This is the summary of the book titled 'Doing Agile Right - Transformation without Chaos' published by Harvard Business Review Press 2020. The authors include Darrell Rigby, Sarah Elk, and Steve Berez who are the Partners at Bain & Company, Inc.
This captures the essence of a roller coaster ride for every organization undergoing Agile. The ideas in the book are not only just applicable to enterprise IT and also to the Business side of it. The book not only provides ideas, but also stimulates thinking and creates an urge.
It does not stop by covering just one aspect like Innovation, but also encompasses different angles such as budgeting (i liked most), funding, reviewing, customer loyalty and obsession, functional silos and bureaucracy and GOLDEN MEAN.

Analysis is so important to agile teams they do it every day. Every. Single. Day. In some respects agile teams perform analysis in a very different manner than traditional teams, and in some respects in a very similar manner. Agile analysis is collaborative and evolutionary in nature. Disciplined agile analysis takes it up a notch to address the complexity factors agile teams face at scale.
In this presentation we discuss how disciplined agile teams address analysis activities throughout the lifecycle. The transition to agile requires a mindset, skill set, and very often role change for people who are currently business analysts. On the majority of agile teams the role of business analyst has disappeared, but in some situations at scale the role is of vital importance – this isn’t your father’s software team any more. Lessons learned from several organizations making the transition to agile will be shared.
Key learning points:
• Discover how disciplined agile teams approach analysis, and modeling in general
• Learn agile analysis and modeling strategies
• Discover how business analysts can transition to an agile environment

I had a good session yesterday as a guest lecturer at UCT to discuss the value of Business Architecture in executing projects using agile as the delivery method to the group completing the Postgraduate Diploma in Enterprise Systems and Business Process Management.
“Technical debt” refers to any quality issues within the implementation of an IT solution that hampers your ability to work with or evolve that solution. Technical debt is often thought of as a source code problem, but it also occurs in your user interface design, in your data sources, in your network architecture, and in many other places. This presentation explores disciplined agile strategies to avoid technical debt in the first place, to remove existing technical debt, and how to fund the removal of technical debt. Industry data regarding technical debt will be shared.

Root Cause Analysis, The 5 Why’s, and The Fishbone DiagramInvensis Learning
Processes across industry sectors often face problems due to non-conforming parts, which eventually lead to process failure, productivity, and even rework. Even when organizations have the best of frameworks or quality controls at place, problems still persist. So, it is highly imperative to ensure problems do not reoccur and get to the root cause of the same. This is where Root Cause Analysis (RCA) comes into the picture that uses a collection of problem solving methods to get to the actual root cause of the problem.
So, what exactly do we manage? Projects, business? Functional Teams, Product Teams? And especially what aspects do we manage? Let's look at some of the challenges we have to deal with.
What exactly do we need to take care of?
Here are some examples: Projects, Product Health, Improvement. We still have some gaps in awareness and management of some fundamental issues. We can use the DA toolkit to fill in the gaps in unmanaged issues.

DOES14 - Pat Reed - Project Labor Cost Accounting for Agile ProjectsGene Kim
Pat Reed, Principal Consultant, iHoriz, Inc.
Accurate Accounting of Project Labor Cost (Capitalization vs. Expensing) on Agile projects and product development continues to be a source of confusion, waste and risk; and remains a blocker to Enterprise Agile Adoption. A myriad of associated risks (impacting Software Development and Dev Ops) include:
Loss of material benefits of utilizing the an Agile methodology (increasing the cost and risk of software development)
Blocking large scale and enterprise adoption of Agile and residual benefits
Creating inconsistencies in interpretation of project cost accounting and defeating FASB’s original intent of generating an accounting standard to protect investor confidence
Increasing the risk of over-expensing software development costs that should be capitalized
Increasing the risk of false audit findings and possible mis-reporting of financial statements
Limiting organizations and industry from fully adopting and leveraging the benefits of an Agile Software Development Methodology
Possible taxation increases, higher volatility in Profit and Loss (P&L) statements and unnecessary manual tracking of programmer and Dev Op hours
Inappropriately expensing Dev Ops and possibly causing unnecessary and inappropriate timetracking
Missed opportunities for innovation and automation
This workshop offers a practical solution that provides clear guidance to ensure that organizations understand Agile project cost accounting and consistently and appropriately account for corporate investment in software and automation.
We’ll start with a quick review of the problem and define acceptance tests and success metrics consistent with accepted government accounting standards and collectively (or in small working groups) share ideas and design a framework; applying critical thinking tools – (Mental models and Ladders of Inference to increase our understanding of how we think; and challenge mental models to effectively solve problems.
Learning Outcomes from the workshop have potential to be extensible to address related challenges of internal and external audits and remediation of findings; Sarbanes Oxley and General Computer Controls compliance; Regulatory Industry Compliance, etc.
Dual Transformation - How to Reposition Today’s Business while Creating the F...Ragavendra Prasath
Dual Transformation framework will help incumbent organizations stay ahead and not get into obsolescence. One of the interesting thing, I learnt or observed from Proctor and Gamble (P&G) is Problems of predictability and How US$ 10 Billion (as of 2017) sales making Pampers was born.
Dual Transformation approach is proved by solid examples from various companies such as Aetna, Adobe, Singapore Post, Amazon, GBS Bank and many more.
Transformation A = Change the ‘How’ you deliver i.e. finding more effective and efficient ways to address the customer needs to maximize re-silence of your existing / historical core business
Transformation B = Creating the new ‘What’ you deliver i.e. The process of making the complicated → simple, expensive → affordable always grows markets.
This is based on the seminal work done by Harvard Business School Late Prof. Clayton Christensen during early 1990’s on “Theory of Disruptive Innovation”.

In the Adani-Hindenburg case, what is SEBI investigating.pptxAdani case
Adani SEBI investigation revealed that the latter had sought information from five foreign jurisdictions concerning the holdings of the firm’s foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) in relation to the alleged violations of the MPS Regulations. Nevertheless, the economic interest of the twelve FPIs based in tax haven jurisdictions still needs to be determined. The Adani Group firms classed these FPIs as public shareholders. According to Hindenburg, FPIs were used to get around regulatory standards.

Deep-dive into Upstream Value Mapping
3 - 18 months
Upstream is heavy or long upfront planning cycles because of 2 key reasons at the enterprises (client
organizations)
1. Risk (i.e.) Manage the risks of going wrong/failure
2. Return on Investment (i.e.) Invest in right initiatives as IT projects are expensive
It is controlled by having
1. Governance process (Detailed documents and Gate reviews)
2. Risk averse security policies
3. Enterprise Architecture standards
4. Maturity models
5. Business case creation (Mission, Need, PM Plan and Projections)
4. Corporate strategic themes,

Aligning solutions design with
Enterprise Architecture, and
complying to central ARB
Reason & Remedy > to reduce the Time to Value
1. Reason > Incremental ideas from different product managers (application owners) crowd the pipeline
/ backlog. Too many requests from product managers (on behalf of customers).
Remedy > Follow the Product Model (i.e. Develop the Roadmap)
2. Reason > All IT projects are reviewed during the regular / planned review meeting
(Bi-weekly/Monthly) and weighed based on the funding.
Remedy > Introduce Incremental (A) and Exponential (B) IT reviews (based on impact and returns)
and have separate teams to work on it A and B ideas.
3. Reason > Long Wait state at the ‘Aligning solutions design with Enterprise Architecture, and
complying to central ARB’. i.e. Work is found but Business Architects / Analysts and Solution
Architects have no bandwidth.
Remedy > Hire more Business Architects / Analysts and Solution Architects to clear the wait-time.
Also, provide them freedom and responsibility to perform.
