Buy-in from professional is crucial to make changes succeed in organizations. Many improvement programs fail when professionals are insufficiently involved during the changes. Agile retrospectives can be used to do continuous and lasting improvements in organizations. They are owned and done by the teams, who decide when, where, and how they will change their way of working. This is why agile retrospectives are a sustainable approach for improvement. For a summary of this presentation, see http://www.benlinders.com/2013/sustainable-improvement-through-agile-retrospectives/.

Continuous Improvement, make it visible - ICSPI 2006 - Ben Linders

Ben Linders

Communication is an important factor in improvement programs. Communication pictures the goals and approach of an improvement program. It can motivate people to commit to change, by showing expected benefits and early results. But wrong or too much communication can also frustrate people, getting them to resist changing. Many improvement programs are run by technical persons, in a technical environment. Often communication is undervalued and underestimated, and perceived as difficult. It is something that people are inexperienced in, which makes them feel uncomfortable. But if they get started, and take some hurdles, they can get better in it. This presentation provides hands-on information, and hint & tips. This presentation will show how vital communication is for improvement programs. It supplies a set of tools and techniques to improve the visibility of targets and results, and will explain how this has been used to monitor and steer continuous improvement in an R&D organization. Views on continuous improvement from different stakeholders are included, to show their needs on communication.

Becoming agile in an agile way - ITMPI webinar by Ben Linders

Ben Linders

Software development organizations need to become more agile and lean, to deliver products and services that satisfy the needs of their customers. There are multiple ways to do this, which asks for an agile approach to you change your way of working in small directed steps. Retrospectives help you to inspect and adapt your agile journey, assuring that you will get results from your agile and lean transition. For a writeup on this webinar topic see http://www.benlinders.com/2013/becoming-agile-in-an-agile-way/

Buy-in from professionals is crucial to make changes succeed in organizations. Many improvement programs fail when professionals are insufficiently involved during the changes. Agile retrospectives can be used to do continuous and lasting improvements in organizations. They are owned and done by the teams, who decide when, where, and how they will change their way of working. This is why agile retrospectives are a sustainable approach for improvement. We need to uncover better ways to do improvements in organizations. Use an iterative approach for change with short-cycled improvements and frequent feedback to learn how to improve and get better in doing it. Agile retrospectives are a better way to do continuous improvement. Teams decide when, where, and how they will change their way of working, in stead of having the changes dictated by managers or quality/process people. Retrospectives give power to the teams and help them to become self-organized. My first book Getting Value out of Agile Retrospectives – A Toolbox of Retrospective Exercises contains many exercises that you can use to do retrospectives, supported with the “what” and “why” of retrospectives, the business value and benefits that they can bring you, and advice for introducing and improving retrospectives.

Becoming Agile and Lean in Process Improvement - UNICOM - Ben Linders

Scene setting: Recent trends in Process Improvement

Ben Linders

How could you maintain quality and organizational efficiency, when the quality staff is reduced? What can you do to optimize improvement effort, and contribute to organizational results? How do you keep up morale in difficult times? This presentation will show a continuous process of keeping focus, involving people from line and projects, collaboration, and communication. The approach was driven by strong needs from management, and implemented based on values and key success factors of the company. The results are better control, increased performance, and meeting organizational targets.

Agile Quality: maximize results with a small quality team, Ben Linders, Europ...

Ben Linders

The Ericsson Operational Development & Quality team has managed to introduce a new Management System with a process baseline, rolled out measurements throughout the organization using a Balanced ScoreCard approach, and kept up a focused continuous improvement program. This presentation shows how (obstacles, KSF, results). At all times, management has made clear that they need control of all aspects of the operation. With a collaborated approach of management and Operational Development (OD), the balanced scorecard was introduced. OD has streamlined target setting, monthly reporting, and quarterly management reviews. The monthly report has been enhanced from a figures only report to full analysis, action definition and forecasting per reported target, involving the line by means of feedback interviews. A Management System was introduced, moulding and optimizing the existing organisation structure, authorities, and policies. With this management system, the set of processes was reduced, and process support was re-enforced. A continuous improvement program was continued, with more focus on organizational targets. Existing tools like audits, root cause analysis, and improvement sessions were used to extract vital few actions together with line and project management; the resulting actions were tracked to completing by the OD team. Key success factors have been the management commitment & active support, the drive of the OD & Quality team, and the build up of skills and knowledge that was needed to implement the changes. Cross-organizational co-operation was stimulated, and management was involved through the monthly reporting & feedback cycle. This presentation will give examples of this, and hints & tips on how to exploit these key success factors in your own organization. The result is an efficient organization, capable of running projects and supporting activities in a largely quantitative managed way, meeting the required business results.

The Business Benefit of Root Cause Analysis, Ben Linders, SM/ASM Conference 2003

Ben Linders

The presentation will show how Root Cause Analysis (RCA) can be applied in way that it supports reaching the business goals of an organisation. It is based on collected data of RCA sessions (done for several years) and the impact on business results, and analysing this data together with non-quantitative information. This has lead to effective RCA methods, applied at specific points in the processes, with significant business results. Also the role of RCA in Total Quality Management and Statistical Process Control is explained, including how RCA used results from Orthogonal Defect Classification for maximum result. Finally, RCA as a pragmatic implementation of the CMMI Causal Analysis & Resolution process area, is elaborated.

Experiences with Data Feedback - Better Software 2004 - Ben Linders

Ben Linders

Good data feedback of software measurements is critical when analyzing measurement data, for drawing conclusions, and as the basis for taking action. Feedback to those involved in the activities being measured helps validate the data as well. In this presentation Ben Linders shows examples of how Ericsson Telecommunications delivers feedback at two levels: projects and the total development center. Although the basics are similar, the application differs, and the key success factors depend on the level and the audience. At the project level, you will see how the team reviews defect data, including defect classifications and test matrices. For development center feedback, you will see how line management and technical engineers review data and analyze information based on a balanced score card approach with measurable goals. Finally, Ben Linders shows examples, data summaries, and suggested action items that management teams from the project and development center levels review. • Techniques used in data feedback reporting and key success factors • Close the feedback loop with different levels in the organization • Human factors that play a role in feedback sessions

Getting actions out of a retrospective that are doable, and getting them done helps teams to learn and improve continuously.

Mini workshop collaborative problem solving - OOP 2021 - Ben Linders

Ben Linders

Problem? What Problem? Practice Collaborative Problem-solving Working in teams we face problems in our daily work. As a team, we should be able to solve problems collaboratively. Agile calls these problems impediments. Impediments can be something in the way of working, processes, tools, or organizational rules or structures. They can also be something cultural or structural. In this mini-workshop, we’ll practice solving an impediment as a team. Next, we’ll explore how we solved it, how we worked together. What hindered and helped us. We’ll learn what we can do to collaborate better.

The agile manifesto proposes that a “team reflects on how to become more effective”. Agile retrospectives can be used to inspect and adapt the way of working. But sometimes teams struggle to figure out what an agile retrospective is? And they wonder how they should do them? Retrospectives help teams to deploy agile practices in an effective way and to continuously learn and improve themselves. The retrospective facilitator (often the scrum master) should have a toolbox of retrospective exercises, and be able to pick the most effective one. This presentation explains the “what” and “why” of retrospectives and the business value and benefits that they can bring. You will experience several exercises that you can use to facilitate retrospectives, supported with advice for introducing and improving retrospectives. Retrospectives are a great way for teams to improve their way of working, to become more agile and lean. Getting actions out of a retrospective that are doable, and getting them done helps teams to learn and improve continuously.

Ben Linders

Wouldn’t it be nice if you had more insight in product quality, during development? To estimate defects inserted in the product, and check how effective test is in capturing defects? We developed a model to measure defects from requirements to customer feedback after release. It is used to control projects (putting quality next to planning/budget), evaluate risks, and decide on release and support. Baseline data is used to measure and improve process performance.
