1 like•360 views
When building your Behavior-Driven Development (BDD) examples, do you first dive into detailing all the given-when-then narratives? Chances are good that you're doing more speculative work than you should. Let's learn how to shape our BDD features using a just-in-time (JIT) mentality. In this hands-on workshop, you'll learn about when and how to negotiate stories around BDD scenario names. You'll discover how this focus can help you: * learn how to break down larger stories * determine the scope to be delivered * transition the conversation (story) into a dependable artifact.

MHA2018 - How the Marine Corps Creates High-Performing Teams - Andrew McKnigh...
Andrew McKnight "Outside of the 13-week grueling boot camp that every Marine goes through, what do the Marines do to have the title of the ""World's 911 Response Force?""
It isn't because they come out of the Marine Corps boot camp being able to run 3-miles with ease, are hand-to-hand combat proficient, or can shoot a human-sized target from 500 yards with deadly accuracy.
It's because the most basic team in the Marines is a 4-person, cross-functional team that is empowered to train, learn and grow together; are technically and tactically proficient, and operate in a decentralized decision-making model the ensures those with the most current and relevant information are the ones making the decisions.
Join me in exploring how the Marine Corps uses this small unit to excel on the battlefield, and how you can use these approaches to build high performing teams in your organization."

"You can see your whole agile transition program starting to lose its grip. Culture and mind-sets have not changed (or not changed enough). You're going to fall! This lecture will shed light on the true and dire nature of your situation, and provide you with a thin lifeline and carabiner of hope. Most Agile adoptions focus on the implementation of a framework (Scrum, XP, SAFe, LeSS, etc) and the use of practices and techniques as an attempt to ""fake it 'til you make it,"" which should spur on the growth mindset. Companies and coaches believe you can change the culture and change the mindsets and the benefits of a truly agile organization will then follow. This is all a lovely self-deception. Humans are emotional creatures, and even the most logical Spock-like among us are still driven by the chemicals and irrational survival thought processes in our brains. This talk covers several examples of irrational failures, followed by examples of irrational successes, where the use of the art of persuasion was applied. In this new age where facts no longer matter, fake news fools people, and Stephen Colbert's 'truthiness' is in the dictionary, it's time to lay down the cumulative flow diagrams and focus on the actual methods that will affect change. (But yeah, the reality is most of you are going down -- not everyone has what it takes to summit Everest.)

MHA2018 - Rebuilding Trust through Transparency - Meg Ward
"Are you in a position where it feels like there's no trust between you and your stakeholders? Or are you worried that you might be heading into that position?
I've been there, and I'm here to help. In February 2016, I moved from Developer to Manager of a team who were in their fifth year of a two-year project. To make matters worse, they had another deployment of an equally complex product that needed to happen nearly immediately due to competitive pressures (spoiler alert: we did not hit the deadline the customer wanted).
In this talk, I'll cover tips and tricks to build transparency, and with that transparency, build trust as well as about how to overcome a legacy of distrust and build stronger relationships. Additionally, I will talk about what has and hasn't worked and how we've dealt with and overcome additional setbacks."
MHA2018 - The Experimentation Mindset - Doc Norton
Among the traits that distinguish a good team from a great team is their ability to innovate. Despite the rhetoric in favor of innovation, most organizations are stuck in an implementation mindset, stifling creativity, excellence, and the resultant innovation. The experimentation mindset frees us from self-imposed constraints, allowing us to continually learn and improve. In this session, we’ll talk about how we learn as individuals and how we learn as organizations. We’ll take a look at some examples of the experimentation mindset happening in the agile community today and we’ll talk about how you can foster such a mindset in your own organization.
MHA2018 - Only Responsible Leaders Can Collaborate in a High-Functioning Team...
"As a Lean-Agile leader, you can turn your leadership team into a high-performing Lean-Agile leadership team. This highly interactive mashup workshop explores what happens when team members take personal responsibility, come from a place of vulnerability, and therefore authentically facilitate real collaboration to produce great results.
Christopher Avery's responsibility process describes the phases we go through on our way to taking real responsibility.
Patrick Lencioni describes the five dysfunctions of team, and by extension the five behaviors of a high-functioning, collaborative team.
Jean Tabaka taught us how to facilitate collaboration by creating safety in a room and on a team and by ensuring that all voices are heard.
In this highly interactive workshop, we will explore together what happens we are a stuck in something less than a place of responsibility, and what impact that has on our ability to collaborate effectively on a team.
Then we will explore how working our way to a place of responsibility also helps us create and contribute to a healthy team, and how to facilitate a team that can collaborate to create great things.
Attendees will walk away with a process you can run with your team to help you and your team reach performance and responsibility."

Herbie is an interactive game which compares four different types of WiP limits and how they impact on throughput, the history of WiP limits such as Henry Ford and Taiichi Ohno and how to apply Little's law. It is a fun and engaging game with plenty of opportunity for discussion and learning.
MHA2018 - It's a "self-organizing" team -- how can I help them? - Erika Lenz
"Your teams seem to be working ok -- they attend meetings, stories move across the board, most work gets done, eventually. But when a problem comes up, they point fingers or scatter like ants in a rainstorm. Why aren't they proactive? Why don't they have a sense of ownership? Why don't they collaborate and participate in decision-making? You told them they were self-organizing!!!
""Self-organization"" is one of the most misunderstood concepts in Agile. Research shows that most high-performing teams are self-organizing. Why, then, are high-performing teams so rare?
This talk will help participants accomplish the following learning objectives:
* Be able to distinguish between the four types of team (manager-led, self-managing, self-organizing, self-governing).
* Identify what kind of team(s) they are working with.
* Understand the types of authority teams need to have to be self-organizing.
* Understand the types of support needed from managers, scrum masters, and others.
* Identify behaviors they can model / exhibit to help their teams become more self-organizing.
This is primarily a lecture format, interspersed with table or paired discussions. "

MHA2018 - Validate It Before You Build It: The Experiment Canvas - Brad Swanson
Validated Learning is the core of the Lean Startup philosophy and it tells us to run low-cost experiments to validate our product ideas. The Experiment Canvas is a one-page simple tool that guides you through the process from articulating the problem (the market opportunity), identifying risks & uncertainties, and selecting the most appropriate experiments to address the biggest risks. Participants will learn about a variety of techniques for running low-cost product experiments to measure gauge the market and ultimately to build the Right Thing.

In this session we will explore how Agile is being used in the classroom, how SCRUM ceremonies are the key to student reflection and growth, and what our community can do to promote Agile in schools. This session will be divided into 3 parts:
1. What Are the Challenges that Public and Private Education Faces in the 21st Century?
2. How Coaching Students Using Agile Ceremonies Can Solve the Problem of Workplace Readiness
3. What the Agile Community Can Do To Promote Agile in Schools "
MHA2018 - Going with the Flow: Adapting Scrum Practices for Marketing - Andre...
The worlds of software and marketing are converging, but that doesn't mean the two groups look the same when practicing Agile. Scrum, while still the dominant choice for developers, often fails to translate in a marketing environment. But by incorporating more flow-based practices from the Kanban world, marketers can take Agile and make it their own. This session draws on new research from hundreds of marketers, as well as on-the-ground experience from an Agile marketing coach. If you're struggling with Agile outside of IT, you may need to start going with the flow.
MHA2018 - When will it be done - Probabilistic Predictions - Prateek Singh
"The very first question a customer asks us when we start work is - When will it be done? Traditional methods of answering this question are fraught with errors. The most common errors include heavy reliance on estimates and use of averages to give one deterministic answer. We are all aware that our world is not deterministic and each prediction has a probability of being right and a complimentary probability of being wrong. In this session, we will use examples and a simple exercise to demonstrate a much easier method which can help make probabilistic predictions.
These predictions can help teams have more informed conversations with their customers about their probability of completing a project on time and around the risk profiles of their projects. The audience will learn how with very little estimation and simple measurements they can better inform and equip teams, managers and customers with information about possible completion dates of the project. We will show how these techniques are actively being used to predict the completion of single items and a set of multiple items in the real world. "
MHA2018 - Docker and Jenkins Pipeline for Continuous integration - Mark Waite
"DevOps lets development teams deploy to production. Developers and testers don't want to break production.
Combining Docker containers and Jenkins Pipeline automates the deployment pipeline and reduces production breaks.
They are a powerful pair in the DevOps toolbox."
MHA2018 - Jen Krieger - Getting Started with Kanban
Often times teams that struggle with Scrum see Kanban as the "easier" way of working. Do you have a team that thinks that? Kanban is as rigorous in process as Scrum is, when you take advantage of all of the tools it has to offer. Come and learn the history of Kanban, the basic mechanics on getting started, and what you do once you master To Do, Doing & Done.
MHA2018 - The Immunity to Change - How to discover individual or team resista...
Often we know what we need to change in our behaviors; however, for some reason we either don’t, won’t or can’t sustain the change. This session teaches a method, Immunity to Change, that can help get to the root of the resistance to those changes. This session introduces a method for discovering why we often know exactly what to do differently, but for whatever reason fail to do so. This is the face of really knowing, believing and wanting to change! In the session we explore the theoretical underpinnings of the Immunity to Change (ITC) method. And throughout the session each participant has the opportunity to build their own ITC map and perhaps discover meaning for a personal change in their lives.
MHA2018 - How Agile connects to the Social Nature of a High-Performance Workp...
"Social networks can make a huge impact on business success. Agile transformations can create threats and resistance even with the best intentions when we do not consider how each message is received. In this talk, we will consider how using the SCARF model (status, certainty, autonomy, relatedness and fairness) can guide leaders in their message and create more safety and high performance in the workplace.
Agile has claimed high performing teams is critical and we have debates over how to measure high performance but we need to turn our focus from numbers to the social aspects of the workplace? Everyone experiences change in different ways but there are instinctual responses that should be understood and considered so that we create an inviting and positive reaction to the changes we are asking people to make.
By understanding how the brain responds to events, you can more effectively remove common barriers managers and their teams face each day. We will talk through how social qualities impact relationships and decisions, how the brain works and how you can relate these to our core agile principles and experience more successful transformations."

In this highly interactive and hands-on workshop, we will share our favorite activities for retrospectives and explore their best purposes. We will engage in exercises that focus on *activities* for any part of the retro: from setting the stage to gathering data to deciding what to do. We'll look at specific, common team scenarios: brand new team, disaffected/underperforming team member(s), distributed teams, technical challenges, etc. and discover how to find the right activity for the right team issue. Attendees will leave with a workbook of ideas (some provided by me, most crowdsourced by the group) and renewed enthusiasm for their team's retrospectives.

MHA2018 - Introduction to Observational Coaching - Daniel Lynn
"Starting out as a new agile coach is difficult. Where do you go? How do you start? Learn to leverage a coaching approach that focuses on observations and, from them, insights and goals. Through this, coaches will be able to better target their efforts and create demonstrable improvement in teams.
In this workshop, we provide scenarios drawn from real-life experience with teams and organizations. After an introduction to good observation techniques, groups will be asked to collect observations from various scenarios.
Groups will then collaborate with others and draw insights from common behaviors and trends. From this, we will leverage the Coaching Card technique to plan possible coaching paths forward and identify ways that progress could be validated and demonstrated in practice.
Attendees will leave this session with a structured approach to guide their ongoing coaching efforts and share those experiences with others in the organization."
MHA2018 - Develop your Sense of Code Smell - Mike Clement
"It has been 18 years since Martin Fowler published ""Refactoring"" which codified an initial catalog of code smells. But in that time, have our noses been able to sniff them out? What have we done to develop our sense of smell?
We will do a series of Sparrow Decks to increase our sense of code smell by building the pattern recognition part of our brain. This way we can more easily know if there is something wrong with the code. Remember smelling you have a problem is always the first step.
(Note: this technique works for non-programmers as well as programmers so even if you're not a programmer, come and develop your sense of code smell!)"
MHA2018 - Experiment by Experiment: Scaling the Agile Mountain - Lieschen Gar...
"The need for organizational improvement is constant. How do you know what better looks like and how to get there? How do you launch and track experiments? Know when to persevere or pivot?
In this talk, we'll share our real-world stories for how our teams experimented together to self organize around key product initiatives. We'll share our problems, mistakes, and lessons learned. We hope you'll leave with an understanding of the nuanced problems with continuous improvement, and a framework for running your own experiments.
We will give an overview of a standard change framework we used:
* Knowing what better might look like
* Knowing how to measure and detect if that intervention is working
* Knowing where you have leverage to make things better
* Knowing how to intervene based on that leverage
* Knowing how to support the intervention
* Knowing when to amplify or dampen your efforts

MHA2018 - Amazon Echo & Google Home: Agile for Voice Products - Kari Ostevik
In this talk I will walk through our newly developed agile design and development process for voice projects. The talk follows the creation of an e-commerce Alexa app that is one of the first skills to integrate Amazon Pay without account linking. I talk about the struggles of testing voice and the certification process with both Amazon and Google. We also discuss how Alexa and Google Home's fuzzy matching means that the bulk of usability testing should be shifted to after development instead of before. Lastly, we discuss the tweaks that need to be made with regards to communication during voice projects.
MHA2018 - Quality Advocacy: The next progression for Agile Testers - Don Peters
"As we strive as an industry to deliver value more quickly, we need to adapt our testing practices to keep up.
As Quality Advocates, we can’t sit back and wait for work to show up in our queue. We can provide the most value if we bring our testing skills and mindset to all of the activities our team performs. I’ll discuss the attributes of a Quality Advocate and how we can influence culture, planning, and test automation strategy to help our teams deliver value and delight customers."
MHA2018 - Addressing the Reductionist Mindset in Your Lean-Agile Transformati...
"The most critical transformation is not the one that happens with processes and tools. The most important shift is the one that happens in the organization's mindset and culture. As an industry, we have developed a large number of Lean and Agile practices, and yet the mindset of most of the organizations remains largely the same, relying on Reductionist Thinking - a thought process that is contrary to Agility, Innovation and Product Development Flow. Addressing the reductionist mindset requires purposeful, focused action on the part of enterprise coaches and transformation agents. In this presentation, Alex Yakyma will discuss the following topics:
* Certainty Bias and its influence on enterprise practices and policies
* Establishing a new culture that embraces uncertainty and variability
* Operating with assumptions and assumption chains in business strategy, user requirements, architecture, implementation strategy, etc.
* Aligning individual motivation with value delivery
* Creating flexibility to foster emergent behavior
* Establishing cross-level learning in the organization
The talk outlines practical advice with respect to the steps in growing a new mindset. The presentation includes a number of organizational anti-patterns as well as suggestions of how to avoid them. "
MHA2018 - Agile is for the Birds!Tricia Savage Bailey & Hande Kazgan
The best way to gain an appreciation for scrum, value, feedback and short iterations is by experiencing it. Research shows that tactile movement and fun have a significant impact on landing concepts and learning. During this hands-on scrum simulation using Legos to build a flock of Pre-historic birds, our group of Toy Company employees will gain an appreciation for value, iterating and fast feedback. New to scrum? This is a great way to learn. Coaching and training teams? Join us to learn how to run this scrum simulation that is for The Birds.
MHA2018 - Solicit Feedback Well and Boost Your Personal Career Development: 6...
Feedback is a key element for success. Agile teams become successful through continuous improvement; it’s triggered by frequent learning from various forms of feedback - TDD, numerous forms of testing, Product Owner Acceptance, demo, Retrospectives, etc. Professional athletes are expected to continuously improve so that the team wins the championship, so they receive feedback from coaches, trainers, and managers as often as every day. We, the business professionals, are also expected to continuously improve so that the company achieves its goals, but most of us receive feedback in performance reviews or 360 reviews once or twice a year! It’s no wonder why it’s hard to continuously improve. In this session, you will be introduced to a 6-step feedback solicitation technique that helps you have meaningful and just in time learning whenever you choose to. This technique will give you a way to establish trusting relationships with feedback providers and enable you to find right areas to improve! Through a few exercises, you will practice how to receive feedback well even at the first attempt! Come and see what it is and add the technique to your professional toolbox. I hope this session will help you take a better control of your career development.
MHA2018 - Agile Transformation Explained - Mike Cottmeyer
"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."
Backlogs and behavioral design
We make decisions every day driven by cognitive biases designed to save time and energy. These mental shortcuts serve us well. Marketers have used this knowledge to build successful marketing strategies for many years. This knowledge can also be used to build engaging products. Behavioral design provides a model for thinking about forming habits and motivating users. Identifying these user stories are critical to build lasting products. They link core user needs with business outcomes. These ideas drive products such as Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. In this talk, we’ll explore using behavioral design to build an engagement loop and better backlog. Iʼll share how to integrate these ideas into an Agile development process.

The audience will learn how with very little estimation and simple measurements they can better inform and equip teams, managers and customers with information about possible completion dates of the project. We will show how these techniques are actively being used to predict the completion of single items and a set of multiple items in the real world. "
MHA2018 - Docker and Jenkins Pipeline for Continuous integration - Mark Waite
"DevOps lets development teams deploy to production. Developers and testers don't want to break production.
Combining Docker containers and Jenkins Pipeline automates the deployment pipeline and reduces production breaks.
They are a powerful pair in the DevOps toolbox."
MHA2018 - Jen Krieger - Getting Started with Kanban
Often times teams that struggle with Scrum see Kanban as the "easier" way of working. Do you have a team that thinks that? Kanban is as rigorous in process as Scrum is, when you take advantage of all of the tools it has to offer. Come and learn the history of Kanban, the basic mechanics on getting started, and what you do once you master To Do, Doing & Done.
MHA2018 - The Immunity to Change - How to discover individual or team resista...
Often we know what we need to change in our behaviors; however, for some reason we either don’t, won’t or can’t sustain the change. This session teaches a method, Immunity to Change, that can help get to the root of the resistance to those changes. This session introduces a method for discovering why we often know exactly what to do differently, but for whatever reason fail to do so. This is the face of really knowing, believing and wanting to change! In the session we explore the theoretical underpinnings of the Immunity to Change (ITC) method. And throughout the session each participant has the opportunity to build their own ITC map and perhaps discover meaning for a personal change in their lives.
MHA2018 - How Agile connects to the Social Nature of a High-Performance Workp...
"Social networks can make a huge impact on business success. Agile transformations can create threats and resistance even with the best intentions when we do not consider how each message is received. In this talk, we will consider how using the SCARF model (status, certainty, autonomy, relatedness and fairness) can guide leaders in their message and create more safety and high performance in the workplace.
Agile has claimed high performing teams is critical and we have debates over how to measure high performance but we need to turn our focus from numbers to the social aspects of the workplace? Everyone experiences change in different ways but there are instinctual responses that should be understood and considered so that we create an inviting and positive reaction to the changes we are asking people to make.
By understanding how the brain responds to events, you can more effectively remove common barriers managers and their teams face each day. We will talk through how social qualities impact relationships and decisions, how the brain works and how you can relate these to our core agile principles and experience more successful transformations."

In this highly interactive and hands-on workshop, we will share our favorite activities for retrospectives and explore their best purposes. We will engage in exercises that focus on *activities* for any part of the retro: from setting the stage to gathering data to deciding what to do. We'll look at specific, common team scenarios: brand new team, disaffected/underperforming team member(s), distributed teams, technical challenges, etc. and discover how to find the right activity for the right team issue. Attendees will leave with a workbook of ideas (some provided by me, most crowdsourced by the group) and renewed enthusiasm for their team's retrospectives.

MHA2018 - Introduction to Observational Coaching - Daniel Lynn
"Starting out as a new agile coach is difficult. Where do you go? How do you start? Learn to leverage a coaching approach that focuses on observations and, from them, insights and goals. Through this, coaches will be able to better target their efforts and create demonstrable improvement in teams.
In this workshop, we provide scenarios drawn from real-life experience with teams and organizations. After an introduction to good observation techniques, groups will be asked to collect observations from various scenarios.
Groups will then collaborate with others and draw insights from common behaviors and trends. From this, we will leverage the Coaching Card technique to plan possible coaching paths forward and identify ways that progress could be validated and demonstrated in practice.
Attendees will leave this session with a structured approach to guide their ongoing coaching efforts and share those experiences with others in the organization."
MHA2018 - Develop your Sense of Code Smell - Mike Clement
"It has been 18 years since Martin Fowler published ""Refactoring"" which codified an initial catalog of code smells. But in that time, have our noses been able to sniff them out? What have we done to develop our sense of smell?
We will do a series of Sparrow Decks to increase our sense of code smell by building the pattern recognition part of our brain. This way we can more easily know if there is something wrong with the code. Remember smelling you have a problem is always the first step.
(Note: this technique works for non-programmers as well as programmers so even if you're not a programmer, come and develop your sense of code smell!)"
MHA2018 - Experiment by Experiment: Scaling the Agile Mountain - Lieschen Gar...
"The need for organizational improvement is constant. How do you know what better looks like and how to get there? How do you launch and track experiments? Know when to persevere or pivot?
In this talk, we'll share our real-world stories for how our teams experimented together to self organize around key product initiatives. We'll share our problems, mistakes, and lessons learned. We hope you'll leave with an understanding of the nuanced problems with continuous improvement, and a framework for running your own experiments.
We will give an overview of a standard change framework we used:
* Knowing what better might look like
* Knowing how to measure and detect if that intervention is working
* Knowing where you have leverage to make things better
* Knowing how to intervene based on that leverage
* Knowing how to support the intervention
* Knowing when to amplify or dampen your efforts
"
MHA2018 - Amazon Echo & Google Home: Agile for Voice Products - Kari Ostevik
In this talk I will walk through our newly developed agile design and development process for voice projects. The talk follows the creation of an e-commerce Alexa app that is one of the first skills to integrate Amazon Pay without account linking. I talk about the struggles of testing voice and the certification process with both Amazon and Google. We also discuss how Alexa and Google Home's fuzzy matching means that the bulk of usability testing should be shifted to after development instead of before. Lastly, we discuss the tweaks that need to be made with regards to communication during voice projects.
MHA2018 - Quality Advocacy: The next progression for Agile Testers - Don Peters
"As we strive as an industry to deliver value more quickly, we need to adapt our testing practices to keep up.
As Quality Advocates, we can’t sit back and wait for work to show up in our queue. We can provide the most value if we bring our testing skills and mindset to all of the activities our team performs. I’ll discuss the attributes of a Quality Advocate and how we can influence culture, planning, and test automation strategy to help our teams deliver value and delight customers."
MHA2018 - Addressing the Reductionist Mindset in Your Lean-Agile Transformati...
"The most critical transformation is not the one that happens with processes and tools. The most important shift is the one that happens in the organization's mindset and culture. As an industry, we have developed a large number of Lean and Agile practices, and yet the mindset of most of the organizations remains largely the same, relying on Reductionist Thinking - a thought process that is contrary to Agility, Innovation and Product Development Flow. Addressing the reductionist mindset requires purposeful, focused action on the part of enterprise coaches and transformation agents. In this presentation, Alex Yakyma will discuss the following topics:
* Certainty Bias and its influence on enterprise practices and policies
* Establishing a new culture that embraces uncertainty and variability
* Operating with assumptions and assumption chains in business strategy, user requirements, architecture, implementation strategy, etc.
* Aligning individual motivation with value delivery
* Creating flexibility to foster emergent behavior
* Establishing cross-level learning in the organization
The talk outlines practical advice with respect to the steps in growing a new mindset. The presentation includes a number of organizational anti-patterns as well as suggestions of how to avoid them. "
MHA2018 - Agile is for the Birds!Tricia Savage Bailey & Hande Kazgan
The best way to gain an appreciation for scrum, value, feedback and short iterations is by experiencing it. Research shows that tactile movement and fun have a significant impact on landing concepts and learning. During this hands-on scrum simulation using Legos to build a flock of Pre-historic birds, our group of Toy Company employees will gain an appreciation for value, iterating and fast feedback. New to scrum? This is a great way to learn. Coaching and training teams? Join us to learn how to run this scrum simulation that is for The Birds.
MHA2018 - Solicit Feedback Well and Boost Your Personal Career Development: 6...
Feedback is a key element for success. Agile teams become successful through continuous improvement; it’s triggered by frequent learning from various forms of feedback - TDD, numerous forms of testing, Product Owner Acceptance, demo, Retrospectives, etc. Professional athletes are expected to continuously improve so that the team wins the championship, so they receive feedback from coaches, trainers, and managers as often as every day. We, the business professionals, are also expected to continuously improve so that the company achieves its goals, but most of us receive feedback in performance reviews or 360 reviews once or twice a year! It’s no wonder why it’s hard to continuously improve. In this session, you will be introduced to a 6-step feedback solicitation technique that helps you have meaningful and just in time learning whenever you choose to. This technique will give you a way to establish trusting relationships with feedback providers and enable you to find right areas to improve! Through a few exercises, you will practice how to receive feedback well even at the first attempt! Come and see what it is and add the technique to your professional toolbox. I hope this session will help you take a better control of your career development.
MHA2018 - Agile Transformation Explained - Mike Cottmeyer
"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."
Backlogs and behavioral design
We make decisions every day driven by cognitive biases designed to save time and energy. These mental shortcuts serve us well. Marketers have used this knowledge to build successful marketing strategies for many years. This knowledge can also be used to build engaging products. Behavioral design provides a model for thinking about forming habits and motivating users. Identifying these user stories are critical to build lasting products. They link core user needs with business outcomes. These ideas drive products such as Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. In this talk, we’ll explore using behavioral design to build an engagement loop and better backlog. Iʼll share how to integrate these ideas into an Agile development process.
