Move your organization into the fast lane - making Scrum stick
Scrum is not just for software development. Use the principles of Scrum to move your whole organization into the fast lane. It's a big culture change and hard work but immensely rewarding.
Agile speaks of putting people first; however in my experience, people are the poor stepchild to process and tools. It’s not about getting scrum teams “more agile” it’s about shaping the organization's culture to support agile development. It’s necessary to understand the areas needed to create a culture that supports agile development. We have to wonder, are we asking ourselves the right questions? How do we engage our staff to create an agile workforce? How do we hire the right people? What is a manager's role in this new self-organized culture? How do we motivate those people? How do we connect them with the customer? It’s about embodying the spirit of agility to get all the magic of a startup and scaling that across a large organization.
In this session, we will talk about building your organization’s culture to support scaling organizational agility to keep the team passionate and purposeful.

Becoming Agile: Agile Transitions in Practice - Rashina Hoda - AgileNZ 2017AgileNZ Conference

She has 10+ years' experience studying Agile teams and is the author of 60+ publications on Agile self-organisation, project management, knowledge management, reflective practice, task allocation and more.

From 0 to 100 coaching 100+ teams in an agile transformation by Tolga Kombak...Agile ME
Agile Transformation is a long journey and happens in a long time span. Throughout this time span you need to train, start Sprinting and coach new Scrum teams on their very first Sprints.
In this speech we are going to present a case study of one of the Turkey’s biggest banks, where all IT transformed from a waterfall world to a final 113 Scrum teams of Agile IT organization in a total of only 8 months. We had vast experience in the field from training to coaching, from yearly master planning to monthly focus called “The Spotlight", from cultivating new internal Agile coaches to empowering Scrum Masters and Product Owners, from fostering Scrum Masters and Product Owners community to having internal Agile events.
In this speech you’ll learn the milestones we had and along with that how number of teams affected and urged us to create some coaching tools we’ve created and implemented.

Agile Transformation: The Difference Between Success and FailureSunil Mundra
Of all the organizations that have attempted to be Agile, only few have truly succeeded. The primary reasons for lack of success appears to be the lack of understanding the difference between Agile Adoption and Transformation, and in failing to understand that Agile is a mindset and not a collection of processes and that transformation has to do with significant changes to the organization eco system. Evidence is also available that companies have found it much harder to do Agile Transformation as compared to Agile Adoption
This presentation showcases 2 contrasting case studies, one not successful and the other a success in agile transformation, to bring out the key variables that determine success or lack of it in Agile Transformation.
The Value Management SIG presented Chris Samson and Daniel Rahamim from London Underground who offered an insight to the organisational approach of implementing Lean principles in one of London Underground's major upgrade programmes.
Want to ensure everything you do adds value to your business? Want to make a real difference to business performance and customer satisfaction?
This challenge was taken up by London underground’s Sub Surface Upgrade Programme (SUP) 18 months ago amidst a time of cost savings, programme review and ever increasing expectations and scrutiny from our stakeholders and customers.
This day is all about the “Agile Mindset”, but what about the “Kanban Mindset?” What’s the same and what is different? Kanban is certainly consistent with the “Agile Mindset,” but also brings in concepts from Lean and other management approaches.
Join Todd as he shares how the Kanban Method focuses on the following areas in order to drive continuous improvement:
Understand the system
Manage the flow of value
Balance Demand and Capacity
Limit WIP to improve predictability
Find and address bottlenecks
Make Policies Explicit
Incremental improvement through experiment and measurement
Double loop learning (process improvement & product improvement)
Scale through the enterprise

What is the best Agile Adoption or Agile Transformation organization and team structure and the talent needed to successfully implement Agile across the company? Is there a best approach?
This presentation was done at the MD&M West Conference in Anaheim, CA on 2/11/15. In it, we explain why most lean programs fail to produce lasting results, why a lean transformation model should be based on Key Process Indicators (KPI) and Key Behavioral Indicators (KBI), how strategy deployment and A-3 thinking can be used to cascade metrics and goals down to the front lines, and how to operationalize lean daily management and daily Kaizen using A-3 and the Improvement Kata

Putting the SPARK into Virtual Training.pptxCynthia Clay
This 60-minute webinar, sponsored by Adobe, was delivered for the Training Mag Network. It explored the five elements of SPARK: Storytelling, Purpose, Action, Relationships, and Kudos. Knowing how to tell a well-structured story is key to building long-term memory. Stating a clear purpose that doesn't take away from the discovery learning process is critical. Ensuring that people move from theory to practical application is imperative. Creating strong social learning is the key to commitment and engagement. Validating and affirming participants' comments is the way to create a positive learning environment.

12. About Agile and Scrum
• Agile Software Development is an umbrella term for
approaches to software development that follow the
principle of „Inspect and Adapt‟ and advocate team
empowerment
• Scrum is one of several
Agile methodologies
13. The Agile Manifesto
While there is value in the items on the right, we value
the items on the left more.
Individuals & Interactions over Processes & Tools
Customer Collaboration over Contract Negotiation
Responding to Change over Following a Plan
Working Software over Comprehensive Documentation
14. Agile Manifesto Principles 1 of 2
Our highest priority is to satisfy the customer through early and continuous
delivery of valuable software.
Welcome changing requirements, even late in development. Agile processes
harness change for the customer's competitive advantage.
Deliver working software frequently, from a couple of weeks to a couple of
months, with a preference to the shorter timescale.
Business people and developers must work together daily throughout the project.
Build projects around motivated individuals. Give them the environment and
support they need, and trust them to get the job done.
The most efficient and effective method of conveying information to and within a
development team is face to- face conversation.
15. Agile Manifesto Principles 2 of 2
Working software is the primary measure of progress.
Agile processes promote sustainable development. The
sponsors, developers, and users should be able to maintain a constant pace
indefinitely.
Continuous attention to technical excellence and good design enhances agility.
Simplicity--the art of maximizing the amount of work not done--is essential.
The best architectures, requirements, and designs emerge from self-organizing
teams.
At regular intervals, the team reflects on how to become more effective, then
tunes and adjusts its behavior accordingly.
16. Scrum
(n): A framework within which people
can address complex problems, and
productively and creatively deliver
products of the highest possible value.

52. Change Your Organization Culture
A Scrum approach
Culture eats strategy Focus on principles over
for breakfast mechanics
53. Three Levels of Culture
• Observable
• Visible, feelable behavior, structures and
processes
• Espoused Beliefs and Values
• Ideals, goals, values, aspirations
• Ideologies
• Rationalizations
• Basic Underlying Assumptions
• Unconscious, taken-for-granted beliefs and
values
54. Scrum‟s Impact on Current Culture
• Empirical management replaces predictive management.
• The art of the possible replaces the mandate of the desired.
• The desire to be certain is replaced by controlled risk.
• Transparency is value neutral.
• Waste, impediments, and dysfunctions are highlighted along with progress.
• Transparency disables politics.
• Authority moves down the organization.
• Scrum Teams are self-organizing and self-managing.
• Accountability is specific
• More attention and hard choices are required.
• What if the project isn‟t delivering what is needed for an acceptable cost?
55. Organization Culture and Leadership
• Leadership is at a crossroads
• Leaders driving agility
• Leaders being more adaptive to align with agility
• Adapting traditional HR systems like
hiring, staffing, reporting, measuring
performance, reviews, etc.

• team self-organization with influence
• facilitation with direction
• coaching with team learning
• failing with delivering
• engagement with decision-making
56. Executive Scrum

The problem – If the whole organization doesn’t move to agile/Scrum, organizational gravity will pull everything back to where you started. You need to make Scrum stick.Over time the development teams modify Scrum and introduce Scrum-buts to adapt to “the way we do it around here” and processes are pulled back to what they were before (rather than continuing to push for doing Scrum right). We call this organizational gravity. Scrum isn’t sticking. What can we do about it?
While Scrum is well beyond being “just another fad” we have a long ways to go to make our whole organizations truly agile. We need Insight, VisionThe status quo is unacceptable. We see Agility as necessary to survive;To provide significant long term benefits, competitive advantage.
“Agile” approaches emerged concurrently from a number of leading thinkers who were successfully delivering software with “Lighter” methods in the 1990sOut of a meeting at Snowbird in 2001 to find commonality between their approaches came the Agile ManifestoAgile methods include DSDM, Extreme Programming (XP), Scrum, and FDD
Scrum is founded on empirical process control theoryScrum is a frameworkScrum TeamsAssociated roles, artifacts and rulesScrum TheoryTransparencyInspectionAdaptionScrum Teams deliver products iteratively and incrementally, maximizing opportunities for feedback. Incremental deliveries of “Done” product ensure a potentially useful version of working product is always available. The Scrum Guide is short – only 17 pages
Highly productive, creative teams.Self—organizing people working closely together with knowledge of all aspects of product. Just-in-time planning every day.Stay focused, remove impediments, producing high quality working functionality
Short development cycles call SprintsJust-in-time planning provides ability to turn on a dime as frequently as weekly.Done, usable piece of functionality every SprintRelease and use work at least as often as every SprintAll of these are formal inspect and adapt events
Inventory as liabilityAnalysis, design of only most valuable requirements, low value work is not done.Requirements are a prioritized list (product backlog) from which work is selected for every Sprint. Only the top several Sprints of work are detailed.IncrementUnderstand exact progress and risk in release.Transparent increments that are accumulated and compared to needs.
Verbally run through the important concepts of Scrum:Focus on getting most important things doneRemoving impediments obstructing progressKey roles - Highly productive, self-organizing, creative teams.Time boxes – Short iterations (sprints), just in time planning, Done increments of functionalityTransparency -
Not just more and bigger software projects, the whole company!
Scale the Scrum RolesScrum is dramatically different from waterfall in that roles such as Scrum Master and Product Owner play crucial roles that cannot be substituted with extensive documentation. Therefore, when scaling Scrum, make sure you also scale the roles of Scrum Master and Product Owner. One way to ensure you have the proper representation of a Product Owner for multiple teams in several locations is to designate “Product Owner Proxies”. A proxy would have the same day-to-day responsibilities of a traditional Product Owner and help the team answer questions that come up during the sprint, but would be less involved in strategic work.Create One Product BacklogInstead of having multiple backlogs across many teams, consolidate all work on a given project into the same product backlog. This ensures that there is a common vision and understanding of the work remaining within the given project without having to manage multiple, disparate product backlogs.Proactively Manage DependenciesIn large-scale implementations of Scrum, it is even more important to focus on identifying dependencies between and across team ahead of time. One way to help achieve this is to always plan 1-2 sprints in advance – in addition to the current sprint planning session. Obviously, your level of visivility will be less clear for these forward-looking sprints, but they do provide a good idea of the work that is coming up. By ensuring all teams adhere to this practice, a better vision of upcoming work can be communicated across the respective project teams.Establish an Integration TeamAn integration team consists of key technical members from each respective team within the project. By having members of the integration team meet on a regular basis, a common understanding of the current – as well as upcoming work – may be affecting other projects can be identified. The integration team needs to meet on a regular basis, but meeting more than every 1-2 weeks should be sufficient.Scrum of ScrumsThe Scrum of Scrums is an affective way to communicate findings between the different project teams. This team, although technically a scrum team, does not meet every day and their meetings should not be limited to 15 minutes. The key here is that during these Scrum of Scrum meetings, each team member reports to other members on any developments within their respective project that could affect other projects. In other words, this is not a status meeting – but rather a session focusing on items that may affect other projects.
Also recognize that Scrum isn’t the answer for all things
Many organizations have not adopted the self-organizing, team-based aspects of Agile. They still are predictive, top-down organizations. Scrum without self-organization and empowerment is a death march, just like waterfall, but an iterative, incremental death march without slack.Using people as people, allowing/encouraging creativity, team workWorking at a sustainable pace
It’s not just what you do internally within your organization or group, it about building a close working relationship with your customer
Make Vision and Purpose pervasiveAsking yourself why are we doing this, what has happened to bring us to this point and what result do we expect to see?. Also do we understand the purpose of the company through the eyes of the customer and how the work we do contributes to that.Understand demandWhat is being asked of us, how capable are we of doing it and how do we know when we have delivered on that?Define valueAs a company how do we determine, measure and validate value?Visualise everythingHow can we make everything transparent and visual so decisions can be made quickly? What decisions need to be made and what measures need to be in place to help us improve on delivering our purpose? (Note: I didn’t use the word targets)Create a common backlog and prioritiseFocusing the company on the same outcomes and have an agreed method of prioritisation that helps everyone understand how to best use their time and resources. Make prioritisation simple, fluid and transparent.Shrink work loadsBuild flexibility in by having smaller chunks of work so you can stop or change more easily and make it safer to fail, if we are wrong lets not be wrong for long and at minimal cost.Team AgilityProvide the right environment for teams to thrive. Don’t be too prescriptive on a team’s composition or their way of working let things evolves. Focus on appropriate technical practices to improve quality and constant delivery of value to customers. Take into account appropriate forward planning on architecture building blocks without constraining a team’s ability to delivery often and innovate.Reduce corporate constraints Organisational structures, KPI’s, processes, contracts and policies can constrain the team’s ability to deliver value. Provide a minimalist approach to movement of people, work assignments, vendor engagement and polices to maximise the flow of value.Change leadership styleUnderstanding the new role of a leader can be a difficult transition to make but also rewarding. Some conscious effort must go in to helping leaders understand the value they add but also how to avoid getting in the way or constraining the flow of value.Rolling wave planning and removing budgets.One leads to the other, its the ‘annual budgets done monthly’ concept. How do we get rid of annual budget cycles that consume 5 months of the year of senior managers and support-staff. Making work smaller and making everything visible makes it easier to make smaller, faster decisions and realign to priorities as they emerge. This constantly emergent planning makes it obvious what is required going into future fiscal periods. From this we can build up the trust of the financial and governance teams to remove the focus of annual ‘on budget’ metrics and instead work with teams to maximise the value we produce for the money we spend.Try, fail fast, learn amplifyDeveloping a learning culture where we can try many things and innovate on how best to meet the demands of customers.

Relate this back to Scrum, importance of frequent inspect and adapt cycles. Be ready for change; change direction when the vision changes. One percent allows you to alter the course. You’re not driving one-way, blindly pursuing a big goal only to find when you arrive that the customer moved the goal posts some time ago.Deliver consistently on what you promise. Systems are important, the basic play book from which we gain consistency in how we operate. But they are only the foundation upon which we self-organize and alter the play as necessary to better serve the customer. Rules create robots, not systems. Systems are predetermined ways to achieve a result, but the emphasis has to be on achieving the result. With a rule the emphasis is on the procedure. Flexibility deals with the what is delivered, consistency deals wth the how it is delivered.Listen to the music as well as the lyrics; and listen to the silence.The one-percent rule is also very important for culture change - get people’s full support, no one feeling threatened by what will eventually become a massive shift.
On the observable level, we call that "observable artifacts." That would be things like the way the office is decorated, the dress, the awards, the stories that are used. And so managers on one level of sort of getting an idea of what the culture is, you look at the observable artifacts.These are the values that the organization says that they care about. Most organizations have a set of values, and what's important in these values is that you want employees to behave according to them and you want management to behave according to them. So when management does not behave according to those espoused values, employees then get cynical and they won't endorse change efforts because they don't believe management is walking the talk.These are the basic assumptions that employees come to learn by working in an organization and that influence their behavior. For example, at a company like Southwest Airlines, I'm certain that one of their basic underlying assumptions is that employees matter more than making profit. And the management behaves in that way. And when employees come to believe in those basic underlying assumptions, it forms the culture.
