This document outlines 10 leadership practices for leading agile teams: 1) Focus on results and use practices to manage risks, 2) Maximize benefits of agile methods, 3) Employ commitment through involvement, 4) Empower teams, 5) Map agile to contract deliverables, 6) Define appropriate release plans, 7) Address challenges in burndown data, 8) Set priorities appropriately, 9) Use retrospective data to improve, and 10) Lead by example using agile. The presentation provides examples and explanations for each practice to help leaders address common issues when transitioning to agile like unpredictable release dates and disconnects between development and business goals.
Scrum is one of the leading agile software development processes. Over 12,000 project managers have become certified to run Scrum projects . Since its origin on Japanese new product development projects in the 1980s, Scrum has become recognized as one of the best project management frameworks for handling rapidly changing or evolving projects. Especially useful on projects with lots of technology or requirements uncertainty, Scrum is a proven, scalable agile process for managing software projects.
Through lecture, discussion and exercises, this fast-paced tutorial covers the basics of what you need to know to get started with Scrum. You will learn about all key aspects of Scrum including product and sprint backlog, the sprint planning meeting, the sprint review, conducting a sprint retrospective, activities that occur during sprints, measuring and monitoring progress, and scaling Scrum to work with large and distributed teams. Also covered are the roles and responsibilities of the ScrumMaster, the product owner, and the Scrum team.
This session will be equally suited for managers, programmers, testers, product managers and anyone else interested in improving product delivery.
XBOSoft runs through the Top 10 Agile Metrics revealing the most fundamental data points Agile methodology requires to work effectively, and will put you on the highly targeted path to successful implementation of your Agile processes.
XBOSoft and Go2Group run through the top data points you should be measuring in your Agile Workflow. We’ll show you what to track, when and how often, and most importantly – why. Many believe that metrics are useless, but unless you measure, how can you systematically improve or know how you are doing? And with velocity as an overarching objective in agile, you should be tracking other things so that you know what else you could be impacting by going faster. But, with all the metrics so readily available to us today, how do we filter through to the most meaningful?
Agile Software Development with Scrum – IntroductionBlackvard
The Scrum methodology of Agile software development was inspired from and grew out of the shortcomings of traditional waterfall management. Unlike waterfall techniques, Scrum methods emphasize team collaboration and communication, functioning software know-how, and focus strongly on the ability to adapt and be responsive to any and all emerging business situations.
The Scrum and Agile IT methodologies are proven project management styles and business approaches that assist companies in identifying company goals as well as customer needs. Through frequent adaptation and inspection, these leadership methods promote team member accountability, self-organization, and allow for high-quality projects to be completed quickly.

Agile Scrum Training (+ Kanban), Day 2 (2/2)Jens Wilke
Training materials for Agile Scrum. This presentation goes into more detail how to manage you product backlog, bug inflow and resolution and technical debt. Benefits of test driven development and continuous integration and live deployment are also discussed. Kanban is introduced in more detail, and the benefits of Scrum, Kanban and Scrum-Ban are compared.
Critical Chain Project Management (CCPM) is a project management approach that allows you to finish nearly all your projects on time, to reduce their durations by about 40%, to provide excellent visibility and anticipation capability, and to create a much better working environment with much less stress and firefighting.
CCPM is the Theory of Constraints' project management "solution". In this webinar, Philip Marris, who has more than 30 years of experience in the use of the Theory Of Constraints (TOC) in over 250 different companies, presents the essential components of the "Critical Chain Way": how to plan projects, how to execute them, how to implement CCPM and how to further improve performance with a focused continuous improvement process.
Many real life examples will be included drawn from Marris Consulting's extensive Critical Chain experience in a great variety of environments and a great variety of types of projects: new product development, MRO, Capex projects, 10 day projects and 10 year projects...
He explains the why he recommends using TOC's 5 focusing steps to project portfolios, a process often resulting in increases in productivity of more than 100% (2 to 3 times more projects completed per year).
He adds his own points of view and recommendations: the possibility of combining Agile with CCPM, the relationship between CCPM and the PMI's (Project Management Institute) body of knowledge, the combination of CCPM with Lean Engineering...and how easy it is to get these extraordinary results.
Background of measuring and metric usage is traditional waterfall projects, psychology of measuring, agile response to traditional metrics, and suggested agile metrics.
This presentation was given by Gary Palmer on Wednesday 2nd April 2014. Airbus in Bristol very kindly hosted the event which was well attended by almost 80 of the local APM membership and project management community.
An introductory-level presentation to critical chain project management (CCPM), primarily aimed at those new to the subject.
Critical chain project management (CCPM) is fast emerging as a major step change in project management, dramatically improving project speed and predictability. Although currently relatively little-known in the UK, it has become well-established and highly successful in America, India and Japan, and is predicted to become a dominant methodology within the next few years.
CCPM changes many typical project management practices and behaviours, and by these changes removes the in-built inefficiencies in ‘traditional’ project management, enabling projects to run faster and with more effective protection against uncertainty, whilst providing much improved visibility of progress and monitoring both at the single project and multi-project (programme and portfolio) levels.
This presentation introduces the main principles of CCPM and compares and contrasts them with current project management practices, with an overview of CCPM’s history and development, use of the methods in programme and portfolio situations, current adoption in industry, and implementation considerations.
In Agile Development, Testing is meant to be a part of the development process, right along with coding, but many “Agile Teams” are missing this vital component and experiencing degregated quality. In this presentation, we will discuss how to integrate Agile Testing in Kanban processes by discussing the following:
• Introduction to Agile and Lean
• How testers add value to cross-functional Agile Development Teams
• How testers participate in Agile ceremonies
• How to test in an Agile Environment
• The Four Environments (Dev, Test, Stage, Production)
• The types of testing that occurs in each environmen
Lean principles and practices have long been applied to manufacturing, with Agile arguably the inevitable evolution of Lean applied to knowledge-based work.
When viewed from a customer’s perspective much of software development may be seen as lower value. How can organizations become lean by eliminating waste and working smarter?
This presentation explores Lean principles and practices applied to software beginning with value stream mapping and the 7 (+1) types of waste.
Presented as an Agile 101 session at Agile New England on 5 August 2021.
This is a practical guide for sprint development based on the OutSystems Delivery Method.
It helps you focus some of the main challenges found when using Agile in the field:
- Your sprints often start not being ready?
- Delivering at sprint end is always struggle?
Then you should take a look!

'How To Apply Lean Test Management' by Bob van de BurgtTEST Huddle
Cost reductions and the quest for more efficiency are more evident in today’s business world. It also follows that our testing processes will ultimately be affected. When test techniques and methods for structured testing are introduced, this results in improvements in the production of more consistent and predictable results.
Introducing a risk based approach to testing makes it easier for the business to determine to what extent testing is necessary and most efficient. The resulting Go/No- Go decision process may not be sufficient for all companies so other creative methods need to be investigated. Many management theories speak about “Lean” as being one of the solutions. One of the key steps in using “Lean” is the identification of which steps add value to the customer and which do not. This track will give you information to start using “Lean” within testing and more specifically within test management.
The presenter will also look at Lean Six Sigma as being one of the more popular theories that introduces the concept of “Lean” in combination with obtaining higher quality products. This subject will also be explained in combination with testing and test management. This track will focus on applying Lean Six Sigma techniques to test management processes using practical examples from customer cases. The audience can take home a practical “Lean Test Management” overview which they can apply in their own companies.
This track is especially of interest to business managers, IT managers, QA managers and test managers that are involved in improving the quality of test management processes.
More Agile and LeSS dysfunction - may 2015Rowan Bunning
Whilst becoming proficient at single-team Agile is not easy, scaling to many teams and possibly many sites adds many additional challenges.
Often these challenges include...
1. Water-Scrum-Fall
2. The 'contract game' and its misalignment with "customer collaboration over contract negotiation"
3. Release rigidity - inability to adjust scope and/or release timing in order to maximise value for money
4. Limited visibility and transparency
5. Dependency hell
6. Skills bottlenecks
7. Lack of cross-team learning
8. Lack of design and architectural alignment whilst avoiding 'ivory tower' architecture
9. Inability to resolve organisational mis-alignment issues outside of delivery teams
Not all frameworks marketed as Agile are designed to address these problems.
In this session, we will introduce Large-Scaled Scrum (LeSS) as an organisational design framework and illustrate how it provides solutions to problems that commonly lead to friction, deliver challenges and difficulties realising the benefits of Agile within large programs and product development efforts.
We will outline each organisational dysfunction / scaling challenge, and connect these with the elements of LeSS that avoid the dysfunction or greatly LeSSen the problem

Doing Analytics Right - Designing and Automating AnalyticsTasktop
There is no “one-sized fits all” of development analytics. It is not as simple as “here are the measures you need, go implement them.” The world of software delivery is too complex, and software organizations differ too significantly, to make it that simple. As discussed in the first webinar, the analytics you need depend on your unique business goals and environment.
That said, the design of your analytics solution will still require:
* The dashboards,
* the required data, and
* an appropriate choice of analytical techniques and statistics to apply to the data.
This webinar will describe a straightforward method for finding your analytic solution. In particular, we will explain how to adapt the Goal, Question, Metric (GQM) method to development processes. In addition, we will explain how to avoid “the light is brighter here” analytics anti-pattern: the idea that organizations tend to design metrics programs around the data they can easily get, rather than figuring out how to get the data they really need.
Governing Agile Teams: Disciplined Strategies to Increase Agile EffectivenessTechWell
Many organizations have successfully adopted agile on a subset of their projects, while, at the same time, struggled to do so across entire departments. A common challenge is the need to overhaul the IT governance strategy so that it will work with agile teams. This is a serious issue for governance bodies with little or no practical agile experience, particularly when experience shows that traditional governance strategies increase the risk of failure on agile projects. Scott Ambler introduces The Disciplined Agile Delivery framework for managing and monitoring enterprise agile teams. This framework goes beyond offering an IT governance strategy to provide advanced strategies such as development intelligence and the goal-question-metric measurement approach. Learn the do’s and don’ts of governing agile teams, how governance fits in and enhances the agile project lifecycle, how to measure agile teams, and most importantly, why teams should demand good governance.
