This presentation by certified Scrum trainer Mike Cohn addresses a common challenge in agile development: the new role of leaders and managers in self-organizing teams.
This is my presentation from the 17th Agile Greece meetup. The event was a series of lightning talks about the events of Scrum.
My presentations has a collection of bad and good practices when implementing a Daily Scrum or Daily standup at Scrum.

Agile Center of Excellence : Presented by Rahul Sudame oGuild .
When any organization plans to move to Agile methodology, it needs to plan multiple initiatives for successful transition. One of the important initiative would be building an Agile Center of Excellence, a team which would support for consistency of Agile implementation across the organization. The Agile CoE we built worked on multiple aspects such as:
Defining organization-wide Agile methodology, tailoring it as per organization environment if required.
Build knowledge of Agile across the organization.
Supporting the team members with any ongoing queries.
Support in building required Tools and Templates required implementing Agile.
Assessing Agile implementation of different projects, identifying any gaps or improvement areas.
This session covered practical experience of how we built a successful Center of Excellence, which become a big enabler for successful Agile transformation.

It was repeatedly observed that as the number of Scrum teams within an organization grew, two major issues emerged:
* The volume, speed, and quality of their output (working product) per team began to fall, due to issues such as cross-team dependencies, duplication of work, and communication overhead.
* The original management structure was ineffective for achieving business agility. Issues arose like competing priorities and the inability to quickly shift teams around to respond to dynamic market conditions.
In this presentation I will show you how to counteract these issues, using Scrum@Sclae framework for effectively coordinating multiple Scrum teams was clearly needed which would aim for the following:
* Linear scalability: A corresponding percentage increase in delivery of working product with an increase in the number of teams.
* Business agility: The ability to rapidly respond to change by adapting its initial stable configuration.

Team Topologies - how and why to design your teams - AllDayDevOps 2017Matthew Skelton
From the AllDayDevOps 2017 live stream https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XqowSG2Jxqc
For effective, modern, cloud-connected software systems we need to organize our teams in certain ways. Taking account of Conway’s Law, we look to match the team structures to the required software architecture, enabling or restricting communication and collaboration for the best outcomes.
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

Dr. Gail Ferreira, Agile Practice Leader, MATRIX Resources, San Francisco Center of Excellence
Rapid scale directly impacts all levels of decision-making, planning, execution, culture, and communications for executives in hypergrowth companies. In this session, we will discuss how to organize, support, and tailor agile practices for teams and sub-teams in companies with a rapid growth cycle. We will share contemporary case studies of hypergrowth companies who have delivered agile at scale.
Topics will include:
• Basic agile and lean methods
• Scrum of Scrums
• SAFe
• Disciplined Agile Delivery (DAD)
• Agility at Scale (Ambler/Lines)
• Spotify model (Tribes, Squads, Chapters & Guilds, DSDM).
The major criteria standing in the way of agile adoption or improvement are in the hands of managers, not the teams themselves. But many managers have been trained to think in ways that are a century old.
Agile organisations require a new mode of management and a new style of leadership. This talk discusses why this is and what this new paradigm might be like for your organisation.
Have you tried assessing the maturity of your Agile teams? Have you developed your own unique approach or adopted an approach found online? Have you found the assessments valuable and continued them?
This material introduces a very simple, straightforward approach for Agile and Scrum maturity assessments without the complexity and pitfalls of numerous more sophisticated approaches.
The author has used five different approaches to assess Agile maturity over the past decade, three developed by Agile coaching staff and two developed by himself, before adopting this simpler retrospective Agile maturity assessment.
Shared at Agile New England as an Agile 101 topic in June 2023.
The Executives Step-by-Step Guide to Leading a Large-Scale Agile TransformationLeadingAgile
This talk explores a safe, pragmatic, and repeatable formula for leading change in large organizations. The Holy Grail for an executive is to tie dollars spent and activities performed, to internal improvement metrics and ultimately improved business performance. We’ll start by discussing the elements of an agile transformation business case and how to identify a meaningful value proposition for change. Next we’ll consider how to assess the organization and build an agile transformation strategy and roadmap that encourages an iterative and incremental approach to change. Finally we’ll explore the metrics and controls that help you know if you’re on the right track. Throughout the presentation, we’ll explore the change management and engagement techniques necessary to make sure you are building meaningful organizational support as you engage the enterprise. We’ll discuss how to build and execute a change management strategy to keep everyone safe and informed throughout the transformation. We’ll show how to sustain and improve the changes over time, ultimately creating an organizational ecosystem where business agility is part of the fundamental DNA of the company. The goal of this talk is to take the magic out of agile transformation and show you how to systematically and planfully introduce agile into your organization.

Team Topologies in action - early results from industry - DOES London Virtual...Matthew Skelton
A talk given at DevOps Enterprise Summit Virtual 2020
---
Since the book Team Topologies was published in 2019, organizations around the world have started to adopt Team Topologies principles and practices like Stream-aligned teams, modern platforms, well-defined team interactions, and team cognitive load as a key driver for fast software delivery and operations.
We will look at examples from these organizations:
* Gjensidige Insurance, a leading Nordic insurance company with 4000 employees and business in the Nordic and Baltic countries, uses the four fundamental team types to clarify team responsibilities and interactions and is moving towards several “thinnest viable platforms” with Stream-aligned teams as internal customers
* PureGym is Britain’s largest gym chain - the first to gain over 1 million members. As PureGym expanded, so did the need for software to enable their members to book and manage gym sessions. Since 2019, PureGym has re-aligned its teams and team interactions based on Team Topologies patterns, helping to scale the engineering teams and improve flow.
* uSwitch / RVU, one of the UK’s leading consumer price comparison websites, has grown a modern platform from scratch, allowing stream-aligned teams to focus on consumers needs, offloading infrastructure provisioning concerns to the platform which also provides cross-cutting services around scalability, security and data management
* Visma is one of the leading software development companies in Europe with nearly 1 million customers in 21 countries. Team Topologies has helped to define and accelerate a transformation begun in 2015 to improve service ownership and speed of changes.
* Wealth Wizards is a UK company making financial advice affordable and accessible to everyone through online tools and apps. The engineering division at Wealth Wizards has used the Team Topologies ideas around team cognitive load to help right-size their teams and align teams to the most important flows of business change.
For each of these examples, we explore how the ideas and patterns in Team Topologies were useful to the organization and the results of the changes.
"Dealing with multiple teams in a product development organization is always a challenge!
One of the most impressive examples we’ve seen so far is Spotify, which has kept an agile mindset despite having scaled to over 30 teams across 3 cities."
The Paper of Scaling Agile @ Spotify (2014)
Spotify Engineering culture is a trending topic in companies scaling and transforming to Agile, We will discuss the details of this model and why it's so popular.
Normally people talk about organization structure only and leave tons of open questions without answers, We will try in this webinar to cover as much as possible of these questions like how they do promotions, learning and development and more besides the organization structure and scaling agile.

New Lean-Agile Coach Self-Assessment - detailed descriptions v3Luca Minudel

Includes references to resources useful to improve in each competency area (download the deck and look at the notes)
Compared to traditional software engineering, agile development is mainly targeted at projects with dynamic, undeterministic and non-linear characteristics, where accurate estimates, stable plans and predictions are often hard to get in early stages, and big up-front designs and arrangements will probably cause a lot of waste, i.e. are not economically sound.
Agile software development is a group of software development methods in which requirements and solutions evolve through collaboration between self-organizing, cross-functional teams. It promotes adaptive planning, evolutionary development, early delivery, continuous improvement and encourages rapid and flexible response to change. It is a conceptual framework that focuses on frequently delivering small increments of working software.

STC Toronto Agile Intro - How can this possibly work?Michael Sahota
This is an invited talk I gave at STC Management Day in Toronto (Feb 2010). After intro, show role of docs in iterations - sometimes trailing.
Let me know if you would like a copy of this presentation for your own use
Velocity is perhaps the most useful metric available to agile teams. In this session we will look at advanced uses of velocity for planning under special but common circumstances. We will see how to forecast velocity in the complete absence of any historical data. We will look at how a new team can forecast velocity by looking at other teams. We will see how to predict the velocity of a team that will grow or shrink in size. Most importantly we will look at the use of confidence intervals to create plans we can be 90% confident in, even on fixed-price or fixed-date contracts.
The first step in creating a useful plan is the ability to estimate reliably. In this session we will discuss how to do this. We will look at various approaches to estimating including unit-less points and ideal time. The class will present four specific techniques for deriving reliable estimates, including how to use the popular Planning Poker® technique and other techniques that dramatically improve a project's chances of on-time completion.
The technique of expressing requirements as user stories is one of the most broadly applicable techniques introduced by the agile processes. User stories are an effective approach on all time constrained projects and are a great way to begin introducing a bit of agility to your projects.
In this session, we will look at how to identify and write good user stories. The class will describe the six attributes that good stories should exhibit and present thirteen guidelines for writing better stories. We will explore how user role modeling can help when gathering a project’s initial stories.
Because requirements touch all job functions on a development project, this tutorial will be equally suited for analysts, customers, testers, programmers, managers, or anyone involved in a software development project. By the end of this tutorial, you will leave knowing the six attributes of a good story, learn a good format for writing most user stories, learn practical techniques for gathering user stories, know how much work to do up-front and how much to do just-in-time.

Scaling Agile and Working with a Distributed TeamMike Cohn
The early agile literature was adamant about two things: stick with small teams and put everyone in one room. However, in the years since the Agile Manifesto, the increasing popularity of agile and the dramatic improvements it brings has pushed it onto larger and larger projects. Additionally, having an entire team--especially on a large project--in one room, or even one building is a luxury no longer enjoyed by many projects.
In this presentation, we will look at how agile can be scaled to work on any multi-team project. Even a project with two teams will benefit from learning how to proactively manage interteam dependencies, conduct iteration planning for multiple teams, cultivate communities of practice, and coordinating work. Because so many projects are spread across multiple sites we will also look at overcoming the unique challenges facing distributed teams. We will look at deciding how to distribute a team, how to create coherence among team members, the importance of getting together and when are the most important times to use the travel budget, changes to what the team documents, and how to handle meetings when spread across timezones. Whether your project is spread across two locations in the same city or spread around the globe, you will leave with practical advice to try tomorrow.
There are a lot of choices and alternatives for getting started with Agile. It can be confusing. This talk will give you a brief guided tour of Agile methodologies so that you have some understanding of how they are similar and how they differ. We'll cover some of the history of iterative development and waterfall as well as the Agile Manifesto to provide context. At the end of this, you will have an understanding of key principles and the Agile landscape.
Please email me if you would like a download.
In this interactive webinar, the participants will get an overview of the fundamental principles and mechanics of Scrum, thereby understanding the benefits of adopting Scrum principles and values in an organization
One of the challenges of agile development is coming to grips with the role of leaders and managers of self-organizing teams. Many would-be ScrumMasters and agile coaches go to the extreme of refusing to exert any influence on their teams at all. Others retain too much of their prior command-and-control management styles and fail to unleash the creativity and productivity of a self-organizing team.
Leading a self-organizing team can be a fine line. In this session you will learn the proper ways to influence the path taken by a team to solving the problems given to it. You will learn how to become comfortable in this role. You’ll understand why influencing a self-organizing team is neither sneaky nor inappropriate but is necessary.
Drawing on analogies from fields such as evolutionary biology and the study of complex adaptive systems, the instructor will describe three factors necessary for self-organization to occur and then provide seven tools for guiding the direction taken by the team as they self-organize.
Certified Scrum trainer and author Mike Cohn shows how to succeed with agile through the ADAPT process: Awareness, Desire, Ability, Promotion and Transfer.
Recurring obstacles I\'ve seen working with large organizations:
1) Naive Resource Management, 2) Teams Organized by Functional Specialization, 3) Teams Organized by Architectural Components, 4) Distraction, 5) Reluctance to Continuously Refine, Reprioritize and Rescope, 6) Rampant Technical Debt, 7) Lack of Commitment to Transformation

More Autonomous Teams Using Behavioral Marker Systems - A Tool for Guided Sel...Daniel Walsh
How do we scale the ability of Agile coaches and Scrum Masters to help teams change their behaviors and adopt new ways of interacting? In most Scrum team ceremonies, there are behaviors and anti-patterns that constrain team performance. How do we develop coaches, Scrum Masters, and the team members themselves to catch and correct behavior that negatively affect team performance?
This session introduces participants to behavioral markers - observable behaviors that contribute to superior or substandard performance within a work environment. Behavioral marker systems are based on Crew Resource Management research from aviation and other high-stakes teamwork domains. Behavioral marker systems act as both scaffolding and mirror that allows teams to reflect on their own behaviors. The session balances the theory with a mini-case study and "how to" guide for participants to take back to work and try for themselves.
The technique of expressing requirements as user stories is one of the most broadly applicable techniques introduced by the agile processes. User stories are an effective approach on all time constrained projects and are a great way to begin introducing a bit of agility to your projects. In this session, we will look at how to identify and write good user stories.

Scrum is one of the leading agile software development processes. Over 12,000 project managers have become certified to run Scrum projects . Since its origin on Japanese new product development projects in the 1980s, Scrum has become recognized as one of the best project management frameworks for handling rapidly changing or evolving projects. Especially useful on projects with lots of technology or requirements uncertainty, Scrum is a proven, scalable agile process for managing software projects.
Through lecture, discussion and exercises, this fast-paced tutorial covers the basics of what you need to know to get started with Scrum. You will learn about all key aspects of Scrum including product and sprint backlog, the sprint planning meeting, the sprint review, conducting a sprint retrospective, activities that occur during sprints, measuring and monitoring progress, and scaling Scrum to work with large and distributed teams. Also covered are the roles and responsibilities of the ScrumMaster, the product owner, and the Scrum team.
This session will be equally suited for managers, programmers, testers, product managers and anyone else interested in improving product delivery.
Velocity is perhaps the most useful metric available to agile teams. In this session we will look at advanced uses of velocity for planning under special but common circumstances. We will see how to forecast velocity in the complete absence of any historical data. We will look at how a new team can forecast velocity by looking at other teams. We will see how to predict the velocity of a team that will grow or shrink in size. Most importantly we will look at the use of confidence intervals to create plans we can be 90% confident in, even on fixed-price or fixed-date contracts.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.
