Building Your Own Change Management FrameworkJason Little
The only "best practice" for change management is accepting the un-certainty that comes with complex change. Here are some tips for how to create your own custom change management framework by picking practices from different tools and frameworks
Executing Change Management with Agile PracticesJason Little
Organizational change is unpredictable but we tend to still run these programs like we run projects. The change program is given a scope, budget and a deadline and then we're shocked when it doesn't work! If you're forced into running a change initiative within the constraints of a project, you can use Agile practices to help you manage the uncertainty.
Lean Change Agent - Applying Lean and Agile to Change ManagementJason Little
As a change agent, I’m sure you’ve experienced how difficult it can be to introduce change into an organization. That could mean you’re an Agile Coach or Scrum Master tasked with introducing Agile, and it can also mean you’re a Change Management Professional who is looking for more effective ways to develop and execute change programs.
This 2-day workshop, based on the book Lean Change Management, is designed to help you discover more effective practices for introducing, and managing change in your organization. You’ll learn by doing, not by reading PowerPoint slides! You’ll hear real stories about how to apply better, innovative practices to managing change.
During this presentation I challenged the notion that "agile fails due to resistance or failure to change culture". Lean Change Management helps people passionate about meaningful change learn new approaches to organizational change.

Agile 2015 - Navigating Organizational ChangeJason Little
Einstein said "We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them" yet many organizations that want to adopt Agile end up using existing organizational structures to make it happen. That is, they create a centralized team to roll Agile out, define metrics, create a dashboard, communication and training plan and finally a Sharepoint site to push the change outwards. The outcome ends up being another failed Agile transformation story because people either resisted change or they failed to change their organizational culture.
This isn't an 'Agile' problem, it's a structure problem. The real issue is that organizational structures are designed to serve the internal purposes of the organization, not their customers or the value they create for their customers.
In this session we'll explore real organizations that are thriving by structuring in radically different ways. That includes apply the concepts of dual organizational operating systems, de-centralized networks, structuring around value streams, horizon planning and full-on organizational explosion.

Our brains crave certainty, which is why many of our change models look great on paper. Unfortunately change doesn't happen that way. Fortunately we can do something about it by changing how we think about change.

Project Outline
*Portions of this section have been repurposed from SWE481-1704B-01 Unit 1 Group Project Proposal
CTU Regional has commissioned the design and implementation of an inventory tracking and shipping service. The service is needed as a centralized stateless/RESTful SaaS (Software as a Service). The team developing the SaaS should be familiar in database communication, API development, and network communication. As the customers place an order, the payment is processed and inventory is pulled from the warehouse. Once completed, the order is fed to the shipping service, which will then take on the role of managing the shipment. The service provides API endpoints related to orders and shipping. The API can be used by as many applications as necessary. Usage examples might include employees updating the status of the order at key points along the way (such as when inventory is packaged, when the order is placed for carrier pickup, and entering tracking), calculating shipping costs, or creating/printing mailing labels. It will also track inventory numbers and aid in the processing and management of the shipments themselves. Employees must have access to make updates as the order progresses. For example, warehouse employees will be able to update when an order has been picked, packed, and when it is shipped.
Here, the Shipping SaaS manages incoming order tracking surrounded by four external systems, each requiring API access and integration. That said, this picture will be expanded and explained in greater detail later in the document. However, there are some issues which need to be addressed.
The design of this application needs to be carefully created. Since it is being designed with an API that can have a number of different GUIs created to interact, the API needs to be efficient, secure, well documented, and reliable. Below is a list of major issues to consider in the development of the service (Kodumal, 2015.)

Using agile and lean to lead business transformation agile 2010Dennis Stevens
Companies need a sustainable model for leading continuous change - yet most leadership teams are too busy running the business to effectively lead change. Many transformation efforts fail due to false starts, organizational resistance, and a lack of effective governance. We will explore a strategic change project management model that has repeatedly resulted in successful ongoing change initiatives. The model draws on Agile and Lean principles and techniques to lead change initiatives in a way that is simple, provides focus and transparency, and builds trust.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

With this increase in sales also came a number of production problems in getting those clients live. It was not clear if we had problems in our process or not enough people. By visualizing all of the data related to sales and implementations we have been able to identify the problem areas more quickly and change our organization strategy and product direction.” - Q4’s CEO, Darrell Heaps

Editor's Notes
Today I’m going to talk about making your organizational progress and agile transition visible. I’ll go through a medium sized companies journey through an agile transition and show how our coaching team made data across the organization visible, what worked, what didn’t and then show some lessons I learned along the way. - talk about the value of visibility. I’ve always like the phrase ‘nowhere to run, nowhere to hide’ - in traditional orgs, data that flows through organization gets cleaned as it makes it’s way up the chain, the visibility created by adopting agile practices is designed to surface information about what’s really going on. - talk about how visibility, from my experience, is limited to team-level information which isn’t as helpful to managers and executives who need different data visible to make decisions
- typical visibility is around team-level or project-level areas - helps the team make decisions - designed to expose what’s really going on to management - talk about how simple is perfect to start with, add more data as you need it coaches see this data and it exposes deeper organizational problems, management see this data and they want to make the team work harder
talk about toronto agile open space, person mentioned they have net promotor scores for multiple products - team-level data doesn’t necessarily help with tactical decisions - need to find data to answer a variety of ‘why’ and ‘what’ questions that can help determine the right priorities for teams
- talk about how managers/execs are able to make better strategic decisions when they have real data - use Q4 example, seeing that sales was far out-pacing getting clients live gave the ceo/cto better data to decide where to focus more time and money - close with how data must flow up and down these levels to keep the org aligned
set some context, paint a picture of the org structure, size etc. talk about overlapping code, how each ‘group’ handled new dev + maintenance
- after 3 months into the transition I was talking to the CTO and mentioned that there sure was a whole lotta shit all over the walls, but he still had no idea what was going on. - talk about the relevancy of data for someone at his level - not efficient for him to walk around to every team to see what’s going on across multiple teams/projects mention the Gemba Walk session....if you went to it
- hey, we do a lot of patches, what’s up with that? talk about what other data and challenges we discovered
talk about the phases: phase 1: get the data - ‘how did this happen on your watch?’ - doom and gloom - deer in the headlights phase 2: do something about the data - don’t want to save the world - personal safety, panic, frustration
talk about how the visibility led to a different strategy for product made visibile the bottleneck is getting clients out the door, led to ‘why’ questions
