Abstract:
In this talk we will learn about two market leaders in two different industries - manufacturing and biopharma - how they used 2-speed IT to quickly capture market potential enabled by IoT. We will also look at benefits brought by moving from disconnected to smart enterprise, different IoT strategies and how to retain startup-like flexibility at the same time enabling market expansion on the global scale.
Presented to an internal audience on 4.14.17 regarding the implementation pros and cons of the Two Speed IT management approach and some modifications for it's successful implementation.
Speed, agility and reduced time to market are becoming increasingly important for Technology organizations. As more business moves online, existing business models and industries are disrupted and new ones are enabled. Technology organizations are facing the challenge of how to transition to agile ways of working. Transform the existing team? Build a separate digital team? Or do both?

Two-Speed IT: Driving Innovation by Extending Your Exisiting IT InvestmentsApigee | Google Cloud
The explosive growth in mobile devices, social channels, big data and cloud technologies is changing consumer behavior and driving profound change in how businesses need to engage with customers. IT organizations are under pressure to meet the demands of customers who want to connect with a business, whenever and wherever they are, and on multiple devices and platforms, while keeping operational systems secure and stable.
A new API-centric layer that extends IT infrastructure is required. It must enable agile and web-scale innovation in order for IT to meet evolving business requirements, while allowing existing business-critical IT systems to continue to run reliably and securely.
Join Apigee’s Ed Anuff and SAP’s Joav Bally to learn:
- Why systems of engagement and innovation, powered by apps and APIs, are critical to meeting the demands of your business and your customers
- How these systems are different from, yet complementary to, the business-critical systems of record technologies
- Future-proofing your IT organization and your business with two-speed IT

Break Through Agile Transformation StagnationTasktop
Transformation to Agile at scale typically takes 1-3 years. There is a pattern of adoption that most companies go through that achieves initial gains, but tends to stagnate after the initial improvement. In order for true value delivery to significantly increase, a mindset shift that ties business strategy all the way down to the team level is required.
In this webinar, Tasktop VP of Industry Strategy, Betty Zakheim, and Net Objectives CEO, Al Shalloway, discuss the challenges causing Agile transformation stagnation and what must be done to solve them.
2021 marks the 20 anniversary of the Agile Manifesto. Yet many organizations are still struggling to clearly improve value delivery for their customers. In this talk Scott Ambler and Mark Lines explain why agile has struggled in the past and what we can do about it. Go beyond agile rhetoric, agile methods and frameworks and learn how to optimize agility for your situation, not others. We can do better, and it is not difficult. Disciplined Agile can help. The journey starts with an investment in learning, optimizing for your situation, and then removing obstacles to accelerate delivery and delight your customers.
In agile we like to say that teams should own their own process by choosing their way of working, their “WoW.” Not only is this true of agile software development teams, it is also true for DevOps. DevOps in the enterprise is interesting because there is more to it that Dev + Ops: we also have DevSecOps, BizDevOps, and Database DevOps to take into consideration, not to mention the realities of support and release management in an established enterprise. Because every organization is different, one strategy, one “process size”, does not fit all. Worse yet, every organization faces a changing environment within which it operates, so not only does it need a WoW that meets its current needs it needs to know how to evolve that WoW as its situation evolves.
In the 21st century, organisations need to
● Put the customer in the centre of our focus
● Shed outdated ways of thinking
● Embrace an agile mindset
● Incorporate new ways of working
● Leverage the pace of change for competitive advantage
This talk explores what it means to be agile in a business context. It looks at the key elements needed, how they are interwoven and what is needed for organisations to transform their thinking and behaviour into new ways of working.
Business Agility is about putting the customer at the centre of the organization’s focus, changing from measuring activities to outcomes and creating an ecosystem which unleashes the productivity and innovation already present in the people in the organisation.
(ISM308) 9 Best Practices to Avoid Stalled Cloud TransformationAmazon Web Services
You've successfully completed proofs-of-concept using the cloud. You've staffed a cross-functional cloud tiger team to define standards. You've communicated broadly and won executive support. Why is your cloud transformation program stalling? If this sounds familiar, know that you're not alone. Many organizations experience program delays, with some delays lasting 12 months or longer. We spoke with leaders, project consultants, and engineers from mature organizations that have successfully accelerated through program delays. In this session, we discuss what we learned about why cloud transformation programs stall even when you do everything right and share nine best practices for avoiding or breaking through a delay.
Application Portfolio Management Strategies that Accelerate Digital Transform...Mendix
Rod Willmott, Innovation Specialist & Fast Track Director at LV=, and Arjo van Oosten, Global Director of the Digital Execution Practice at Mendix, share insight on expertly prioritizing your digital initiatives.
As Allen Brown admitted in my August 2013 Forbes article on TOGAF, “EA needs to catch up with the agile approach, not ‘Agile as such’.” This confusion over the word “agile” is actually one of the challenges with EA today. Brown continued: “‘Agile’ is a loaded term and largely associated with building solutions rather than the Enterprise Architecture.”
So, what does "agile" -- or in some quarters, "Agile" -- mean today, and how do we apply Agile to architecture? Most people use the phrase "Agile Architecture" to refer to software architecture appropriate for Agile software development projects -- not EA at all.
Nevertheless, there is a growing Agile EA movement that extends the core principles of the Agile manifesto to EA more broadly. This approach deemphasizes the role of frameworks and other artifacts, and instead treats the enterprise as a complex adaptive system.
Agile EA thus leverages complex systems theory, including the role of emergent properties, to rethink how organizations innovate and otherwise deal with change within the context of market and regulatory constraints.

Enterprise Agile Coaching - Professional Agile Coaching #3Cprime
“Agile coach” is a term that is thrown around pretty loosely these days. But what exactly is an agile coach? How do they differ from the more tactical roles, like ScrumMaster? And how do organizations find the agile coaches that are right for them?
In the final session of our “Professional Agile Coaching” series, we’ll examine how organizations can build an Enterprise Agile Coaching strategy. We’ll look at:
• When to use an external versus internal coach
• How to choose a coach with the abilities your team/organization needs
• The differences between team and enterprise agile coaching
• Creating a communication plan with your agile coach
• Developing an internal agile coaching organization
This session will help organizations make the best use of both internal and external coaches in order to ultimately build the deep internal skills and knowledge necessary for a successful agile transformation.

---------------------
With the pace of change in the world accelerating around us, it can be hard to remember that the digital revolution is still in its early days. Massive changes have come about since the packet-switch network and the microprocessor were invented, nearly 50 years ago. A look at the rising rate of discovery in fundamental R&D and in practical engineering leaves little doubt that more upheaval is on the way.
For incumbent companies, the stakes continue to rise. From 1965 to 2012, the “topple rate,” at which they lose their leadership positions, increased by almost 40 percent1 as digital technology ramped up competition, disrupted industries, and forced businesses to clarify their strategies, develop new capabilities, and transform their cultures. Yet the opportunity is also plain. McKinsey research shows that companies have lofty ambitions: they expect digital initiatives to deliver annual growth and cost efficiencies of 5 to 10 percent or more in the next three to five years.

The buzzword "digital transformation" is all the rage and will trigger the largest industrial revolution since more than a century for sure. But what does this mean in concrete terms? How will the change look like that companies have to fulfill? We will not only have a look at the 10 dimensions of the "Digital Maturity Level Model", which indicates how mature a company is in terms of the „digital age“ but on concrete practical oriented methods and processes of the digital transformation like Scrum, Kanban, Design Thinking, Lean Startup, LEGO SERIOUS PLAY, OKR and many more as well. At the end of the transformation there is a new, converted corporate form - the agile enterprise.

Digital Europe: Pushing the frontier, capturing the benefitsMcKinsey & Company
What is the speed at which digital is and will change our world?
How is Europe performing in digital compared to the United States? Where is the progress? And where is the paralysis?
What some of the challenges and risks of digital – its potential to divide business and society – between the highly digitized: the “have-mores,” and the “haves:” those who are not able or willing to adapt fast enough.
And what is our share our vision with you for how Europe needs to capture the huge digital prize. What can start-ups, companies, public authorities – everyone in this room – do, to make it happen?
For ten years or more, China has been a uniquely powerful engine of the global economy, regularly posting high single-figure or even double-digit annual increases in GDP. More recently, growth has slowed, prompting sharp falls in international commodity prices and casting a shadow over the near-term prospects for developed and emerging markets.
What will happen next? Pessimists struggle to see what China can do for an encore after what they say was an extraordinary, one-off period of catching up. Optimists believe that during the next 10 to 15 years, China has the potential to continue to outperform the rest of the world and to take its place as a full-fledged advanced economy (see summary infographic, “What’s next for China?”).
In this talk we will discuss various topics related to how Lean Agile methodologies can scale to the Enterprise level, we will compare various scaling models, including, standard Scrum or hybrid Scrum methodologies (such as Scrum plus eXtreme Programming or Scrum + Kanban) have fully demonstrated their value to the team level.
But … What happens when we try to use these models in real more complex environments and contexts? Or, when we try to scale Lean Agile in real organizations that characterize an important amount of the landscape of IT in Italy? Moving from the level of the team to the level of the organization (program and portfolio) we will encounter a number of complex issues to some extent new. Hence the importance of knowing the values and principles that constitute the foundations of the concepts of Lean Agile Scaling. There are several models, born in recent years, who are confronted with the reality of the Enterprise. We will discuss this issue at an holistic level and we will compare some of these scaling models, such as: - the standard Scrum ( Ken Schwaber , Mike Cohn , ... ) - Larmann & Vodde - SAFe - DAD - Management 3.0 - CDE – plus other models and approaches taken from my consulting and managerial coaching Enterprise experiences.

The current definition of Business Agility is as nebulous as DevOps was only a few years ago. Some schools of thought focus on different parts of the business employing agile techniques. While an important step, it proves insufficient to allow the overall business to achieve true agility.
In this session, we will explore the emerging thinking on what is Business Agility and provide concrete examples of organizations who have taken steps to successfully achieve it.
Learning Objectives:
*Define Enterprise Business Agility in a holistic fashion
*Articulate real-world examples of Business Agility
*Begin to implement aspects of Business Agility within your organization

Summary
Agile is simple to understand but difficult to implement, hard to master and mind-boggling when trying to scale!
This is because many organisations start implementing Agile in a cultural context that is mostly non-Agile.
This creates a significant number of tensions and frictions that the teams adopting Agile have to deal with although they are often not fully aware of them.
This presentation discusses why implement Agile and what is Agile, it also talks about how to scale from a single team to multiple teams and the impact on organisational culture.

Is Agile worth it?
What value can being Agile bring to your organization?
Done right, Agile software development methodologies can help your organization deliver greater value to customers and other stakeholders more efficiently and with reduced risk.
Done wrong, Agile methodologies become an endlessly iterating feature factory, facing an ever-growing backlog.
In this interactive session, attendees discussed:
- How to identify what’s most valuable to build next
- How to ensure that the features you build are not just functional, but used and valued
- How to measure and effectively communicate the value that you create
Led by Alan Albert of MarketFit, this session at Agile Vancouver explored theory, examples, and exercises showing how to unlock the power of discovering, creating, and communicating value.
Agile 2013 - Lean Change for Enabling Agile TransformationsAlexis Hui
Experience report summarizing our experiences with agile transformation in mid-large sized IT organizations and challenges we faced with current methods available. As a result, we saw a need for a better change approach to help us and others in the agile community with agile transformations. Borrowing thinking and tools from Lean Startup, Kanban and Kotter we have defined a structured framework known as Lean Change. The premise behind our thinking is that successful agile transformation requires learning and feedback as the keys for success. Lean Change is founded on three concepts, co-creation of changes through negotiated change, experiment based objectives using minimum viable changes, and validated learning to guide changes through a structured validation lifecycle.

Talk Description: Organization's culture is the sum of belief and behaviors of all employees. It is built on values and drives Organizational effectiveness through Competitive advantage. The visible part of cultural iceberg drives us to think what we see and believe in our Organization constitutes the culture. There is also big portion of cultural iceberg that is not visible to the employees that drives the hard reality.
Culture is a soft concept and like strategy it cannot be copied. Is there a way to measure culture? If not, then how do we say whether particular culture is good or bad? As an individual how often do we change our behavior to adapt to a new situation? If changing one’s behavior is tough, then how difficult is to change behavior of big Organization?

Leadership in Agile : by Karthik Mahadevan & Ramakrishnan SitaramanoGuild .
The bottom line to a agile (self organizing high performing) team is constant flow of energy. This guarantees optimal pace of quality deliverables.
To maintain this creative equilibrium, leaders can look at”Engaging” directly or “Enable” individuals or by “Empowering” the team without compromising team autonomy.
As a leader
When you “Engage” its not about you, its about the team / individual
When you “Enable” its not about who / what .. Its about Why
When you “Empower” its not about it being leaving for the team’s choice but its about setting the right stage / context for them to act.

An Agile Coach plays a vital role in bringing in that change in mindset. But how does the coach do it? This session is just not philosophy but provides relevant and real-time examples that audience can relate to. It describes in details the definition of coach, Agile coach, how a coach can generate insights, leading to awareness and ultimately change in mindset.
Art of Doing Effective Scrum : Presented by Mohammed JavidoGuild .
The team dynamics takes the team through the stages of transition from forming, storming, norming to performing.
Each member of the team also passes through the individual phases of forming, storming, norming to performing.
The Scrum guide has listed the roles, events, artifacts, rules in a short document which needs to be adhered, irrespective
of the stage that the team is or the stage that the individual team member is. It will quickly bring the visibility on the current stage of the team and will provide opportunity for inspection and adaption.
The topic will cover the scenarios related to the dynamics of the team and roles.
The suggestions(actionable guidance) will be provided along with the scenarios.
The message to the audience will be on the lines of ‘Own Your Baby’, Avoiding instances of ‘Operation Successful, but Patient Died’
The bottom line will be to refer back to Scrum guide as and when the team needs clarity on roles, events, artifacts, rules of Scrum. At the same time the target is not on doing Scrum but on being Scrum, the target is to get the working software and Scrum is one of the enablers towards it. Scrum too mentions the importance of working software at great depth.
Agility Beyond Framework and Dev Team : by Anubhav SinhaoGuild .
Agility and Lean-Agile practices plays a vital role if people understand and give a continuous learning pattern. We can have agility in Pre-sales for identifying Bid Cycle or, Employment Engagement Experience rather than only HR etc. Senior Folks to become Leader rather than bosses. Co-working folks to interact rather than Peer, that may lead to identification of a solution appearance rather than problem creator.
Key Takeaways:
– a role thought as Imaginary PO for Pre-sales engagements
– how all members of pre-sales coordinates
– how HR can turn to 3E
– Incremental and evolving – From 3S to Collaborative
– Few metrics to understand
Influential Leadership : Presented by Ramanathan YegyanarayananoGuild .
Leadership is the process of influencing others to understand and agree about what needs to be done and how to do it, and the process of facilitating individual and collective efforts to accomplish shared objectives.
Influential Leadership is the KEY to developing a raving fan culture. Influential Leadership is the ability of a leader to incite action in others simply through mastering the skills of communication and motivation tailored to an individual person.
we can have a wonderful team if there is a right person who can influence others and groom a leader in the community. This is the intent of the topic being chosen for this conference by me.
Agile Inception Strategies : Presented by Khaarthigha SubramanianoGuild .
Agile Inception using Innovative and Collaborative techniques & Gamification came for rescue, But now this is also diluted a lot and becoming in-effective. But used well, this is highly effective even to discover more than what we are focusing and help channel the investments for the clients.
We took a real world problem that is meaningful to all attendees and used the following techniques as a real inception
– Describing the objectives of inception and inception outcomes
– Setting the vision
– Identify Competing constraints and decouple them
– Understand nuances of client relationship and being dynamic in modelling the solution
– Stakeholder mapping and communication plan
– Assumption mapping and hypotheses prioritisation
– Traceability of user needs to business goals through impact mapping.
Becoming Successful Product Owner : Presented by Arne AhlanderoGuild .
It is common for new Product Owners to be left without instructions or ideas of how to succeed. The role of the PO is different from traditional roles and in order to survive as a PO new learning is necessary. In order to become a successful PO you don’t only need a vision, you also need good tools, principles and practices.
Here Arne presents principles, tools and practices to help you become more successful in your role regardless if you are new or more experienced.
Agile Transformation and The Metrics Drama : Presented by Deepak GururajaoGuild .
As more and more companies are embarking on the journey of Agile Transformation, leaders are on the constant lookout for various kinds of metrics to measure the progress. Newer and more improved Metrics are being created everyday. Some of them are naive, while the others are complicated to measure. Most metrics are focused on execution. Through his experience, Deepak have seen multiple perspectives for measuring transformation.
Deepak shared his perspective about measurement, and offered the participants, his understanding of Agile Transformation. He discussed about the metrics that make sense from a business perspective.
At the end of the day, its not only the Technology/Engineering leaders, but, also business leaders who fund the transformation and business gets equal share of their benefits form the transformation.
Appreciative Enquiry : Presented by Sridharan VembuoGuild .
As we all know, Agile, at it’s core, emphasizes on team work. And, if you look at any successful Agile story, the key to it’s success would be a self-oragnized, cohesive team and other factors only add to this.
More often than not, Retrospectives are probably the only forum where the entire team comes together as a single unit and these meetings usually end up being crib (and ranting) sessions. And, because of that, teams are not very enthusiastic about retrospectives and these meetings become more of a ritual than being productive and useful.
As the name ‘Appreciative Enquiry’ suggests, the focus of this meeting was on things that created a positive impact on the team and the project. Sridhar shared few real life examples from his projects, the effective of doing regular Appreciative Enquiries and also guided the participants how they can successfully adopt this technique in their team.
The Objective of this Manifesto is to define guiding principles around the Customer-Supplier working environment with regards to working on Scrum projects. The assumptions made are
•The environment is customer-supplier (i.e. an outsourced environment)
•The environment is distributed and may not be co-located
•The environment involves multiple vendors
The Customers and Suppliers are integrated elements of a working environment in a project. The Customers and Suppliers will work together with a common goal and that is “Producing Value for the End Customer”. This manifesto supports the Agile Manifesto Value “Customer Collaboration over Contract Negotiation”.
Design Thinking & Innovation Games : Presented by Cedric MainguyoGuild .
Accelerate Innovation: Learn why it matters and how it’s done.
Design Thinking can be used to design products, user experiences, corporate strategy or public services… Innovation Games, whose primary intent is not pure entertainment, can be applied to a broad spectrum of areas like training, hiring, generating new ideas, gathering feedback about a product or change management… The list goes on.
An increasing number of organizations have realized the enormous potential of human-centered and playful approach to innovation design and development. The growing success of Agile methods, which put a strong emphasis on people interactions, on fun and on building a creativity-friendly environment, have made Design Thinking and Innovation Games even more popular.
Killing Agile Software Development : Presented by Rizky Syaiful oGuild .
Last month (June 2016), I helped a well-known higher education institute in Indonesia. I train the lecturers there, so that their students can practice agile software development.
[I show the audience some photos and videos as the proofs]
Can you imagine a condition when all our CS/IT students already get the real experiences of proper Scrum, Automated Testing, etc?
In that imaginary world, agile software development is already the norm! In the other side, there is no more room for Waterfall’s Big-Design-Up-Front style. Because we know that any software problem is inherently a design problem—or complex problem in Cynefin framework. You can’t solve that kind of problem by designing a big-fixed solution up in the front.
And if almost every software development is already agile—as it was visioned back then in 2001 manifesto, why would we still use ‘agile’ term?
We invent words to categorize things. Before ‘agile’ was proposed in the 2001 manifesto, they called it ‘lightweight’. Because it’s different with the previous heavy weight Waterfall.
Now, when I say the word ‘computer’, what would your brain emulate? A mainframe computer? Or a personal computer? Both of them are literally a computing machine. I put my money on personal computer. Because almost everyone see personal computer in daily basis. And they haven’t seen any mainframe computer once in their life.
Just as the dead of ‘personal’ term, in ‘personal computer’—I don’t count PC because that’s an abbreviation—‘agile’ in ‘agile software development’ will also be dead.
Not because it’s bad. On the contrary, that’s because agility the best option for software development.
In 2026 I, believe, we will call it simply as ‘software development’.
Please help the world to reach that kind of utopia, at least by telling your ex-lecturers, “you should teach agile software development properly”.
We should be so proud for standing here. Being a part of agile software development movement, of the 21st century.
Why?
Because a good movement always has a goal,
this agile software development movement also has a clear end.
If You Need To Run A Project You've Already Failed : Presented by Evan LeybournoGuild .
I want to be controversial for a moment and propose an end to IT projects, project management & project managers. I propose that the entire project process is flawed from the start for one simple reason. If you need to run a project, you’ve already failed.
By definition, an IT project is a temporary structure to govern and deliver a complex change (such as a new product or platform) into an organisation. However, to be truly competitive, an organisation needs to be able to deliver a continuous stream of change. Managed properly, this negates the need for a project and the associated cost overheads.
This is fundamentally what #noprojects is. The approach, structure, tactics and techniques available to successfully deliver continuous change. At its core, #noprojects is predicated on the alignment of activities to outcomes, measured by value, constrained by guiding principles and supported by continuous delivery technologies.
This presentation introduces you to #noprojects. You learn how to define an outcome and create an Outcome Profile. You also learn how to manage change within the context of an outcome through the Activity Canvas.
The Day I Realized I Was Not Yet An Agile Coach : Presented by Sylvain MaheoGuild .
I remember that morning, 6 or 7 years ago. I had been practicing Agile for a couple of years and I had decided to update my LinkedIn profile. I opened my profile, edited my headline and replaced “Scrum Master” with “Agile Coach”.
That was a lie. But I didn’t know it at that time. I really believed I had become a coach. In reality I was a consultant, a trainer, sometimes a mentor.
A few years later I decided to go back to school -a coaching school- and it changed my life.
In this talk, I shared my personal journey to become an (Agile) Coach and shared what I’ve learned along the way:
• What is the difference between consulting, training, coaching and why we should care?
• Why by calling ourselves coaches we are not doing any good to the coach profession?
• What can we do about it?
• How did I become a coach?
• What are my coaching tools?
• Does your organization really need a coach?
Introduction to Management 3.0 : Presented by Ralph van RoosmalenoGuild .
Management 3.0 is a movement of innovation, leadership and management. Management 3.0 is redefining the definition of leadership with management as a group responsibility. It’s about working together to find the most efficient way for a business to achieve its goals while maintaining the happiness of workers as a priority.

Cosmetic shop management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
Buying new cosmetic products is difficult. It can even be scary for those who have sensitive skin and are prone to skin trouble. The information needed to alleviate this problem is on the back of each product, but it's thought to interpret those ingredient lists unless you have a background in chemistry.
Instead of buying and hoping for the best, we can use data science to help us predict which products may be good fits for us. It includes various function programs to do the above mentioned tasks.
Data file handling has been effectively used in the program.
The automated cosmetic shop management system should deal with the automation of general workflow and administration process of the shop. The main processes of the system focus on customer's request where the system is able to search the most appropriate products and deliver it to the customers. It should help the employees to quickly identify the list of cosmetic product that have reached the minimum quantity and also keep a track of expired date for each cosmetic product. It should help the employees to find the rack number in which the product is placed.It is also Faster and more efficient way.
Sachpazis:Terzaghi Bearing Capacity Estimation in simple terms with Calculati...Dr.Costas Sachpazis
Terzaghi's soil bearing capacity theory, developed by Karl Terzaghi, is a fundamental principle in geotechnical engineering used to determine the bearing capacity of shallow foundations. This theory provides a method to calculate the ultimate bearing capacity of soil, which is the maximum load per unit area that the soil can support without undergoing shear failure. The Calculation HTML Code included.
CFD Simulation of By-pass Flow in a HRSG module by R&R Consult.pptxR&R Consult
CFD analysis is incredibly effective at solving mysteries and improving the performance of complex systems!
Here's a great example: At a large natural gas-fired power plant, where they use waste heat to generate steam and energy, they were puzzled that their boiler wasn't producing as much steam as expected.
R&R and Tetra Engineering Group Inc. were asked to solve the issue with reduced steam production.
An inspection had shown that a significant amount of hot flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes, where the heat was supposed to be transferred.
R&R Consult conducted a CFD analysis, which revealed that 6.3% of the flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes without transferring heat. The analysis also showed that the flue gas was instead being directed along the sides of the boiler and between the modules that were supposed to capture the heat. This was the cause of the reduced performance.
Based on our results, Tetra Engineering installed covering plates to reduce the bypass flow. This improved the boiler's performance and increased electricity production.
It is always satisfying when we can help solve complex challenges like this. Do your systems also need a check-up or optimization? Give us a call!
Work done in cooperation with James Malloy and David Moelling from Tetra Engineering.

• Being agile is about delivering greater business value and not just the process
• Your context matters, there is no one “right” approach to agile adoption
• The organization needs to own and define what agile means to them

33. Transformation Strategies
In your agile transformation you will spend much more effort addressing
people-oriented (being agile) issues than you will either of process (doing agile)
or tooling (supporting agile) issues.
Think of it like this: these three factors are effectively the legs of a stool, if you
don’t address all three then your agile transformation will fall over.
