The Power of an Agile BA
This document discusses the power of an agile business analyst. It begins by contrasting the original purpose of BAs with how their role turned less agile over time. It then reviews agile principles from the Agile Manifesto and 12 principles. Sections discuss challenges with moving to agile and how BAs can embrace exploration, remove perfectionism, and work with product owners in shared or scaled models. The document promotes BAs becoming "agile superheroes".
Doing #noProjects in Large Organizations (Codemotion 2015)
Doing PRODUCTs in Large Organizations
- Empower people: Create stable teams
- Focus on value: Organizing around value
- Flow, …flow faster!: Product development flow
Habitualmente dentro del mundo Agile se identifican las "corrientes" de #noEstimates o #noProject como tendencias a futuro y que en algunos casos parecen irrealizables, sobre todo en grandes organizaciones.
En la mayoría de las transformaciones en las que trabajamos a día de hoy, ya sea a nivel nacional o a mundial, venimos aplicando #noProjects dentro nuestros procesos de transformación.
La ponencia consistiría en compartir experiencias y lecciones aprendidas cuando hemos trabajado para eliminar los proyectos en grandes empresas, poniendo el foco en las personas en lugar de los proyectos, y permitiendo tener equipos estables que crecen día a día gracias a este enfoque.
Aunque pueda parecer un concepto muy teórico, #noProject puede ser una realidad si se crean los mecanismos necesarios dentro de las compañías y se dota a los equipos de herramientas para ser productivos y predecibles a largo plazo.

Thoughts on Lean Product Development at CAMUG, YYC Nov 2014
The rise of the Lean Startup has led to a deeper understanding of the importance of validating business ideas, from new features to new business models. But many tools available to the Product Owner aren't adapted to rapid validation. Starting from the principles and practices of agile product management, from defining the product vision to creating story maps and refining the product backlog, you will learn about key practices that incorporate the lean startup principles, allowing a Product Owner to bring the build-measure-learn cycle alive and ultimately earn more value more quickly.
Scrum + Kanban - Agile IT Project Management (deSymfony 2013)
This document discusses applying the Scrum and Kanban agile frameworks to IT project management. It begins by introducing Scrum and Kanban, noting that Scrum is an iterative framework and Kanban uses visual boards. The document then discusses how Scrum and Kanban can be combined for a light management process that enables working in changing environments with motivated self-managed teams. It provides an overview of roles, events, artifacts, and visual management in Scrum and Kanban before discussing how companies can adapt these frameworks based on their business needs, such as project type and customer involvement. The document concludes by emphasizing the benefits of agile project management and the ability to adapt management approaches to different situations.
AgileLIVE – Accelerate Enterprise Agile with the Scaled Agile Framework®: Part I
Interested in finding out how to scale agile faster, easier and smarter using the Scaled Agile Framework® (SAFe)? If so, make sure you watch this two-part webinar series!
Scrum, XP, Kanban and related methods have been proven to provide step changes in productivity and quality for software teams. However, these methods do not have the native constructs necessary to scale across the enterprise. What the industry desperately needs is a solution that moves from a set of simplistic, disparate, development-centric methods, to a scalable, unified approach that addresses the complex constructs and additional stakeholders in the organization – and accelerates the realization of enterprise-class product or service initiatives via aligned and cooperative solution development.
Part I: Join Dean Leffingwell, software industry veteran and Lean Systems Society Fellow, for an overview of SAFe, a publicly–accessible knowledge base of proven lean and agile practices for enterprise-class software development.

How (Agile) Marketing helps to deliver better products
Many see Marketing in maximum as a money spending necessity on the way to create a product for clients or consumers. Therefore Marketing and Development teams usually are disconnected and even cannot stand each other. Marketing does not know what to promote and the development team does not understand the client. But together they could create so much awesomeness. With bi-directional cooperation between the development and the Marketing team during the development process, products can become much better and ensure customer delightment.
Together we will explore in this session, how the agile philosophy can change old mindsets and bring the the development and the Marketing teams closer. We will find out, what challenges businesses have nowadays and what values Marketing should bring to businesses. This will help us to understand how Agile can be applied in other fields than development and how this helps to increase customer delightment through greater products.

Estimate Value to Deliver Value: Effectively Estimate the Value of Requiremen...
Agile organizations move work to dedicated teams, rather than move people to projects. In order to succeed, the Business Analyst needs to continually compare the value of different projects or work requirements to make sure that the teams are working on the most valuable items at any one time. But how can you compare new features that increase your profitability with platform migrations that increase your system stability or administrative features that reduce operational overhead? Where do BAs spend their time and how do stakeholders get their critical projects done?
The Experience Canvas provides a one-page requirement definition that allows stakeholders to effectively discuss and estimate the value of each requirement.
Using the Experience Canvas, we show how:
Stakeholders can compare and contrast the value of very different requirements with very different objectives,
Business Analysts can estimate return-on-investment using effort estimates from the team (investment) and value estimates from the stakeholders (return).

Out of Sight, Out of Mind: Survival tricks and tools for remote developers
Presented at PycCon 8, Florence 7 April 2017 – Remote working and “smart working” is very much in fashion these days, but what does it entail for the daily routing of a distributed development team? We will talk about tools, the disputed use of email, Skype, Slack but more specifically about time management, what you can expect from yourself and from other members of the remote team. Is your company “remote-friendly” or rather “remote-first”? When it’s time to spend a few days in physical proximity with your colleagues? We will share some examples out of the experience of a distributed team actively working with Python and Django on a daily basis, and show how you can make it all work, if you work on it.

The Good Shepherd - the Role of BAs in Agile
Agile teams may be popping up everywhere, with ScrumMasters and Product Owners and Development Teams. But what role does the BA play? Should the BA join the team, working with the development team to deliver work requests? Or should the BA take on the role of Product Owner, working with the business to define the work requests and ranking them to maximize value delivery? Is the BA best suited to the ScrumMaster, guiding the team to predictable delivery? Or is there some other role we've not talked about? The answer, of course, is 'it depends'. We will discuss the different roles on an agile team, and investigate how the traditional responsibilities of a BA role fit within the agile context. What we want to understand is how the BA fits into the agile development process, considering how the agile team works, and how the responsibilities of the BA are addressed in an agile environment.

Herding cats, or the art of scaling agile teams
Managing the evolution of a single product working with a small number of teams is somewhat straightforward. Working from a single backlog, the product roadmap becomes relatively easy to visualize, and planning and tracking is simple. As we increase the complexity of the product, things become harder. Different teams require different backlogs. Different products require work from different teams. Before you know it, there are lots of independent moving parts, and coordination costs increase and dependencies dominate. In this talk, we consider core principles and practices for scaling in an agile world, and discuss how to move from a handful of teams to many teams and many product lines.
Be agile. Scale up. Stay Lean with SAFe by Michael Stump
Today’s successful companies are recognizing that software is increasingly a competitive advantage for their business. Real, tangible software development value occurs only when end-users are successfully operating the software in their environment. To ensure a faster flow of value to the business, the Scaled Agile Framework helps teams successfully deliver a differentiated and engaging customer experience, achieve quicker time to value, and gain increased capacity to innovate. The process of deploying software builds to production is no less important than developing and testing the new functionality. As an industry, we are currently mastering more Agile, better and faster methods for incrementally developing potential user value. In practice, however, these achievements are jeopardized by poorly managed deployments that happen too late in the lifecycle and delays value delivery. Bringing deployment operations (DevOps) onboard the Agile Release Train, engaging them in the PSI planning and other program level events, and establishing environments, practices and disciplined procedures in support of a continuous deployment pipeline helps the enterprise enable faster feedback and a more predictable value delivery rhythm. Join Michael Stump (Principal Contributor to SAFe), Thought Leader from Scaled Agile Inc. and software industry veteran to get an in-depth overview of how SAFe together with DevOps can provide the most customer value and quality in the sustainable shortest lead time.

How to map SAFe Agile Release Trains and Value Streams to your organization
Please join us on Wednesday February 24 in Burlington MA starting at 6:30 pm as senior enterprise agility coach Yuval Yeret describes how to map SAFe Agile Release Trains and Value Stream to your organization.
In this interactive session we will focus on an exciting aspect of the process of implementing a scaled agile approach. How to build those "Teams of Teams" that Scaled Agile approaches such as SAFe(tm) talk about. We will quickly review the purpose of the Agile Release Train and Value Stream constructs, understand ART/VS design considerations, and then work on a couple of case studies/exercises to see what the ART/VS design should look like.
NOTE: Yuval will bring some of his interesting case studies. AND If you are thinking about implementing a scaled agile approach yourself and trying to figure out ART/VS design, we would love to do a live case study in the session. You will get free expert consulting as well as the wisdom of the crowds to give you some potentially useful ideas!

Great Agile Teams @ SDEC13, Winnipeg
Agile teams form the building blocks for agility. Having strong agile teams allows an organization to overcome systemic issues and adapt the product development process to the needs of the business. Agile teams that are not self-organizing and continually learning can quickly become subsumed by the challenges around them. So what does it mean for a team to be agile? We look at the fundamental characteristics of high performing teams, and how to influence the team environment and selection in order to initiate a team for success.

This is the complementary presentation to the "Using Employee Lifecycle as Your Roadmap to Employee Engagement" #infographic. Presented by Elizabeth Lupfer at the Talent Management Alliance's Employee Engagement conference in July 2014, this presentation is a walkthrough each area of the employee lifecycle and identifies how organization's can develop an employee engagement framework through adaptability, relevancy, sustainability and execution. If you've realized this spells ARSE, then you've got it. Because an ARSE is the foundation for any successful relationship -- employee engagement and the employee lifecycle.

The document contrasts the traditional "waterfall" approach to software development with the Agile "barrel" method.
Sa fe 4.0 implementing Enterprise Agile using the Scaled Agile Framework
The adoption of Agile is spreading across various industries, in organizations of all sizes. However, most experts agree that scaling Agile for enterprise use is a challenge. SAFe®, the Scaled Agile Framework, was created to resolve this problem. SAFe® provides a fully controlled way to adopt and scale Agile across large companies, and to align Agile processes to business strategy.
The Scaled Agile Framework's latest edition 4.0 introduces the optional Value Stream level to synchronize all the Agile Release Trains, as well as other updates compared to SAFe® 3.0. Our webinar helps you to learn more about implementing enterprise Agile with the Scaled Agile Framework, and the differences between SAFe®'s previous versions and its recently released 4.0.

Great Agile Teams @ SDEC13, Winnipeg
Agile teams form the building blocks for agility. Having strong agile teams allows an organization to overcome systemic issues and adapt the product development process to the needs of the business. Agile teams that are not self-organizing and continually learning can quickly become subsumed by the challenges around them. So what does it mean for a team to be agile? We look at the fundamental characteristics of high performing teams, and how to influence the team environment and selection in order to initiate a team for success.

Presentation to Using the Employee Lifecycle as Your Roadmap to Employee Enga...
This is the complementary presentation to the "Using Employee Lifecycle as Your Roadmap to Employee Engagement" #infographic.

If you've realized this spells ARSE, then you've got it. Because an ARSE is the foundation for any successful relationship -- employee engagement and the employee lifecycle.

Checklist for hiring to company culture by Heebo
Hiring based on company culture is important for strengthening an employer brand and making future hires easier. When hiring, companies should profile the position, company purpose and culture. They should storytell about company needs, culture and opportunities. Companies should share job postings internally and externally to engage networks and find the best cultural fit, even if skills need some training. All candidates should be treated kindly throughout the hiring process to build a positive reputation.
Yes! We Connect onboarding aanpak
SUCCESVOLLE ONBOARDING? HET BEGINT MET VERBINDING!
Nieuwe medewerkers kennen nog weinig mensen binnen de organisatie. Hierdoor kunnen ze niet meteen hun volledige potentieel laten zien. Door kennismaking en verbinding als rode draad op te nemen in het onboarding programma starten nieuwe medewerkers met een krachtig intern netwerk.
Leer elkaar echt kennen en ontdek wat iedereen inbrengt.

Crafting the employee experience
This document discusses how to craft an effective employee experience through an experience value chain. It presents that employee experience drives customer impression and revenue growth. A 5 unit increase in employee attitude can lead to a 0.5% increase in revenue growth. Highly engaged companies see improved financial metrics like operating income and net income compared to low engagement companies. An engaged employee experience focuses on structure, culture, and execution. The architecture of participation involves organizing functions into communities of practice, allocating resources purposefully, and rewarding at the touchpoint level. Culture should be one of shared values and success through compensation, education, and employee involvement in decision making. Execution requires giving permission to perform, embracing risk taking, and celebrating innovation.
J boye14 Conference CEM Imperative - team tools and tactics
In the workshop, Digital Clarity Group's Scott Liewehr and Cathy McKnight explored the customer experience management (CEM) Imperative and how it impacts the enterprise within the firewall, and the need to shift from an “inside-out” to “outside-in” focus for how employees work in order to support and drive CEM for their organization. They also analyzed the technologies, skills, and processes that will help employees engage and collaborate, and how to evaluate, select, and assemble the team involved in executing the CEM strategy (internal resources, outside service providers, and vendors).

The Reality of the Employee Experience
As a complement to our ‘Reality of the Customer Experience’ session, we take a similar behind-the-scenes look at what’s happening in your stores – from the employee perspective. As sales were happening, our reps were there: shadowing, watching and asking lots of questions. Why aren’t certain employees offering handset insurance or phone trade-in? What information do employees still need and want? Are they pushing certain products over others and if so, why? On the flip side, what are the outstanding sales reps doing? We’ve interviewed them and asked them what motivates them and what sales techniques work best. At the end of the day, employees’ success is your success. This session will take you to the core of their success.
Experience Is The Product
Don't focus on technology and features. Heck, don't focus on the "product." Focus on the experience you want to create, and build a system that gets you there.
The audio is from my talk at http://2007.dconstruct.org/.
The Best Measure Of Employee Experience
“How can HR best measure employee experience and wellness to help support engagement and performance?”
Transform the employee experience
Despite spending vast amounts of time and money on employee engagement, engagement metrics remain stagnant. What if, instead of obsessing about how to increase employee engagement, how to improve and position your employer brand, or how to fight the war for talent, you instead put serious effort into thinking about how to improve and position your employees?
Designing the employee experience
