Agile teams operate in the context of an organization, whether it's a small start-up or a global corporation. Organizations that are clear about why they are in business will have a mission identified that expresses what they're all about. A great mission can provide the spice that transforms a team from one that delivers features and projects, to one that passionately delivers business value with fire-breathing intensity. This session will explore how you can utilize the mission of an organization to spice up a team's work, and how a team with a great mission behind it can influence agility throughout an organization.

Comparing Ways to Scale Agile at Agile Product and Project Manager MeetupBernd Schiffer
Session "Comparing Ways to Scale Agile" at the Agile Product and Project Manager Meetup in Melbourne, Australia.
These days organisations are looking for support to scale their Agile environment. There’s a difference between having one Agile team on its own, or to have several Agile teams providing value to the customer and interacting with each other.
This session will give an overview and comparison of all the different Agile scaling approaches out there, i.e.:
* Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe)
* Evidence-Based Management (EBMgt)
* Disciplined Agile Delivery (DAD)
* Enterprise Transition Framework (ETF)

Actionable Agile Metrics for Predictability - Daniel VacantiAgile Montréal
Actionable Agile Metrics for Predictability
“When will it be done?” That's the first question customers ask once work is started. Your predictability is judged by the accuracy of your answer. Think about how many times you’ve been asked that question and how many times you’ve been wrong. That you’ve been wrong more times than right is not necessarily your fault. You have been taught to collect and analyze the wrong metrics. Until now.
About Daniel Vacanti
Daniel Vacanti is a 20+ year software industry veteran who has spent most of his career focusing on Lean and Agile practices. In 2007, he helped to develop the Kanban Method for knowledge work and managed the world’s first project implementation of Kanban that year. He has been conducting Lean-Agile training, coaching, and consulting ever since. In 2011 he founded ActionableAgile (previously Corporate Kanban) which provides industry-leading predictive analytics tools and services organizations that utilize Lean-Agile practices. In 2015 he published his book, “Actionable Agile Metrics for Predictability”, which is the definitive guide to flow-based metrics and analytics. Daniel holds an M.B.A. and regularly teaches a class on lean principles for software management at the University of California Berkeley.
Having reviewed a number of Agile adoption approaches by big consulting companies given to organizations within the Kingdom, it's clear that many of them don't have the appropriate backgrounds to perform Agile transformations.
This session will discuss the Agile transformation adoption roadmap from real practitioners with numerous Agile adoptions in Saudi Arabia.
We will discuss what to try, what not to avoid, and some general things to consider.

Technical publication groups are sometimes perceived as the lowest rung in the organizational structure. Documentation is the necessary evil; that thick, dusty, verbose, boring collection of technical content, that seems to be more focused on following traditional standards of content creation, rather than serving its main purpose. It's this myopic focus on traditional roles, deliverables, and standards that have pushed the Tech Pub group to the bottom of the corporate food chain. However, this self imposed exile can be reversed, and the relevancy of your organization and role can be increased exponentially by making a few behavioral changes and by growing "tentacles."

Are you stuck in product tunnel vision, still focusing on implementing ideas months old, only to find out they failed? Are you tired of spending time on building stuff nobody wants (other than your boss)?
Then let's go on a ride! Anders will tell you how to escape tunnel vision and start focusing on building the right thing. The silver bullet is systematic and constant product testing.
Anders will take the boring part out of testing and show you how easy it can be, so you product can start shining to more (and the right) people. He will reveal his playbook of cleverly thought out product experiments used by product builders at companies like Spotify, Booking.com, Facebook, Amazon, and Google and recommended by top universities like Havard, MIT, and Stanford.
WebAble is a young company built on a strong foundation of culture. We believe pay-checks and perks are important, but that is not why we come to work every morning. Security and recognition keep us alive, but passion and creativity are worth dying for. This deck summarises key elements of our cultural foundation.
It was created for internal use, but recently we decided to share it with public to help our partners, patrons and prospective employees understand us better.

Homily: The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity Sunday 2024.docxJames Knipper
Countless volumes have been written trying to explain the mystery of three persons in one true God, leaving us to resort to metaphors such as the three-leaf clover to try to comprehend the Divinity. Many of us grew up with the quintessential pyramidal Trinity structure of God at the top and Son and Spirit in opposite corners. But what if we looked at this ‘mystery’ from a different perspective? What if we shifted our language of God as a being towards the concept of God as love? What if we focused more on the relationship within the Trinity versus the persons of the Trinity? What if stopped looking at God as a noun…and instead considered God as a verb? Check it out…
In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

We look forward to a world where children grow strong
in communities free of need and full of promise, where
peace and justice flourish, and the most vulnerable live
in confidence.
This organization helps transform the lives of children
and families in need around the world, and extends
assistance to all people, regardless of their religious
beliefs, gender, race, or ethnic background.
When you work for this organization, this is the mission
for which you’ll be working. It is a mission that
motivates us and gives meaning to the work we do every
day.”
4. “The simplest, most heartfelt mission statement
you’ll ever see:
Number 1:
We will develop visible, effective, differentiated
brands to build shareholder value for clients, long-
term relationships for us, and profits for both.
Number 2:
We will all have fun in the process.
Number 3:
There is no number 3.”
5. “Our mission is to provide everyone from first-time

7. “The mission of this company is to organize the
world‘s information and make it universally accessible
and useful.”
10. An agile team can get context
for what it delivers from a
mission.
A mission can be made visible
to an organization by an agile
team that delivers working stuff
frequently.

17. A great mission can provide the spice
that transforms a team from one that
delivers features and projects, to one
that passionately delivers business
value with fire-breathing intensity,
and…………..
18. … the best way in the world to
deliver an organization’s mission
is to do it with agile teams
19. How do you find the mission
statement?
• Ask someone! (start with your Product
Owner)
• Visit a web site
• Read at an annual report
• Look at what the competition is doing
• Watch how your customers are behaving.
What is their mission?
21. Self organize!
Why did you decide to work here?
What made you get out of bed and
come to work this morning?
22. “Life is denied by lack of
attention, whether it be to
cleaning windows or trying to
write a masterpiece.”
-- Nadia Boulanger
Composition Teacher
23. Practices for
Making a Mission Visible
• Read the mission out loud at the
beginning of an activity
• Invite people close to the mission to
participate in your review sessions
• Create an information radiator
24. Skillfully use the mission when the
team wants to charge up its work
• Target their use for when the team
wants to spice up their work
• Remove them when they no longer
get attention
• Context is king. Use what will
provide context for the team’s current
work.
25. Turn Up the Heat:
Make Sources of Your Mission Visible
• Is there a source document related to your mission
that can inspire your team to action?
• Examples:
• Images of your mission in action
• Scientific treatise
• Religious and philosophical text
• Astounding social science or business statistics
26. “Do not think that I came to bring peace on Earth; I did not
come to bring peace, but a sword. For I came to set a man
against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a
daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; and a man’s
enemies will be the members of his household. He who loves
father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me; and he
who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of
Me. And he who does not take his cross and follow Me is not
worthy of Me. He who has found his life will lose it, and he
who has lost his life for My sake will find it.”
- Matthew 10:34-39
27. "I call this Revolution 2.0. I say that our
revolution is like Wikipedia, OK? Everyone
is contributing content. You don't know
the names of the people contributing the
content…everyone was contributing
small pieces, bits and pieces. We drew
this whole picture. We drew this whole
picture of a revolution. And that picture
— no one is the hero in that picture.”
-- Wael Ghonim, Google
28. The Product Owner Holds the Mission
• The mission provides context to your team for
their work, but it’s still the product owner that
owns the backlog.
• A team can inspire a product owner (and the
backlog) by asking probing questions about the
mission.
• Your product owner holds the mission for the
team! Help them do their job by delivering
inspired working software!
29. Exercise
• The folder on your table has a mission statement, story cards
with your team’s current sprint backlog, and a page with
information just for a Product Owner
• Choose a Scrum Master and a Product Owner.
• Review the mission statement and the backlog. Discuss with
your Product Owner how the user stories in the sprint backlog
relate to the organization’s mission.
• Assignment #1: Create a theme for this sprint that spices up
the team’s work with the context provided by the mission
• Assignment #2: Congratulations! The team successfully
delivered all of the stories in this sprint. Your executive
sponsor has invited some very important people
(customers, vendors, or investors) to the review session. With
a few bullet points, tell them how what you delivered
contributed to the organization’s work toward its mission.
30. Mission smells
• If the mission is hard to find, or isn’t
inspiring, maybe the enterprise isn’t up to
something big enough
• Your choices:
1. Enroll the enterprise in a bigger possibility, with a
bigger mission
2. Enroll yourself in creating a bigger mission
somewhere else
3. Thank you. I’ll just go back to coding this feature
now.
31. Agility Makes the Mission Real
• Agile teams produce working products
frequently.
• An agile team working in the context of a
mission makes that mission visible
throughout the organization with every
completed iteration.
• A team that delivers can make agility a
basic nutrient for sustaining the mission.
32. Your mission, if choose to accept it…
• Coach your teams to make their work visible
throughout the organization.
• Make your workspace an area where visitors
can see the mission at work….with agility!
• Know that you are the ones. It is no accident
that you’ve been invited into this team to help
them produce results.
• Through your work practicing agility, the
mission transforms from a “statement” to
something that continously renews itself.
33. A mission gives context
to an agile team.
An agile team gives life
to the mission.
34. Thank you!
