Three key differentiators for Product Owner excellence.
Professional Product Owners - pivotal in leading organization growth
The Product owner is the main stakeholder in any agile software development project. The product owner is one of the four roles (scrum master, agile team, Product Owner & stakeholder) of the scrum framework for agile project management.
It is far too common for a newly appointed Product Owner to be left alone without any instructions or ideas of how to succeed than we care to imagine. The role of the Product Owner is different from traditional roles and in order to survive as a Product Owner new learning is necessary. In order to become a successful Product Owner you don’t only need a vision, you also need good tools, principles and practices.
In this session I will go through a number of principles, tools and practices that can help you to become more successful in your role regardless if you are new in the role or more experienced. After the session you will have a collection of principles, tools and practices to apply directly when returning home after the conference.
In this presentation you will learn:
Different ways of creating and communicating a product vision
Principles to follow in order to become a successful Product Owner
Tools and practices suitable for a Product Owner
In this presentation from the recent BA World Conference, EK Consultants Yanko Ivanov and Tatiana Cakici explain Agile and discuss the differences between Agile and Waterfall approaches.
Scrum Methodology makes clear the relative efficacy of your product management and work techniques so that you can continuously improve the product, the team, and the working environment.

Scrum studio - Agile in non-Agile organizationKrystian Kaczor
There are various approaches to Agile Transformation. Sometimes you can't handle a revolution and evolution would take too long. Then what's left is Scrum Studio.
I will share lessons learned from the New Online Banking at BGŻ BNP Paribas. I will tell you how we started. How the Product Owner influenced the shape of the studio and the shape of the product, how the Studio influenced the organization, our path through inspect & adapt and the way forward.
Linking agile with market research final deck v1.0Jacob Brown
When product development teams go Agile, they often get out of sync with Product Marketing and Market Research teams.
The Marketing functions are still organized around a traditional Waterfall playbook - large, episodic, standalone marketing and market research events. This is in conflict with the development team's continuous need for information.
In my presentation, I outline a process for making market/market research more agile by creating continuous research processes. This continuous process is built around providing dev teams with the information they need - right when they need it.

Whitepaper: Integrating market research into the Agile Sprint CycleJacob Brown
Agile has revolutionized product management and new product development. But while Agile teams are working on a Sprint Cycle, the Market Research team is often still working form a traditional (Waterfall) timeline. This can cause the teams to be out of sync and slow the product development process.This whitepaper outlines a way to successfully integrate Agile Market Research with Agile Product Development teams.

• Vision
• Backlog
• Epic and User Stories
• Agile Planning
It's important to have a filter for making decisions so that you know what problem you are solving and how you will match the right decision to the outcome desired.

It's so important to fully embrace your identity, and these exercises will nail that down. Email me at pcgrowingforward@gmail.com for the worksheets. Also, this will help you get clarity on your vision and how to avoid the inevitable obstacles that come your way.
What is scaling and how can it help to improve your organisation? What is the right mix of scaling principles and practices for your culture and teams? I will compare some agile approaches on scaling like Scaled Agile Framework aka SAFe, Large Scale Scrum (LeSS) both based on principles of Lean Product Development and Scaling Agile @ Spotify.

Henny Portman - Will the project manager survive in the agile world when scal...Agile Lietuva
I focus on a possible transition of organizations who are introducing the agile way of working. Starting with a traditional project setup using permanent PMO (portfolio level). What will happen if we the keep the team together as an agile team? What does that mean for the project manager, and what is the most important competence of the PO? I will continue my story by adding an agile team. Coordination between the teams can be managed by a scrum of scrum. Still no need for a project organization with a project manager and a project board and no need for a temporary PMO. I add more teams and the coordination asks for a project manager. We can continue and institutionalize the coordination and removing the PM by using frameworks like Nexus, S@S, SAFe, LeSS et cetera. I will add some new to be created teams (asks for a Project Manager to organize this hybrid project organization) et cetera. I will end with an overview and positioning of different agile frameworks (more than 50) and the role of the permanent PMO in an agile world (focus portfolio management and Center of Excellence) and what has to change if you want to make a transition towards a more agile organization.
Learning objectives
1. A clear overview and positioning of different agile frameworks. Along the way, I will answer the question “Why do so many agile transitions fail?
2. Understand the new role of the project manager in the agile world
Keywords: Agile, Hybrid PM, Agile culture
Agile is a software development methodology in which the development is carried out iteratively and the requirements evolve through continuous inspection and adaptation. Some of the most commonly used agile software development methods/frameworks are: Adaptive Software Development (ASD), Extreme Programming (XP), Scrum and Kanban.
An Authority vs In Authority - Better having a sharp Business Analysis Skill than being in the role of a Business Analyst
How valuable and attractive are new skills like "Business Analysis"?
Job advertisements often ask for very special roles such as "Online Product Manager (m/f/d)" or "Business Developer (m/f/x)". The fact that these roles often have large overlaps in their skill requirements is not always clear to HR managers or interested parties. Thus, suitable employees are not found or employees are not aware of suitable vacancies. Rainer Wendt uses a business analysis skills catalogue to show how versatile these skills can be in a company and how many roles can be successfully filled with them. A rethink of skill orientation in recruiting can open up new perspectives for both recruiters and applicants.
A compilation of the absolute basics for those who want to know about Agile Methodology with some insights on Scrum. The idea is to give enough to fuel the curiosity to learn more. It might not interest one of he / she is an Agile guru but may I ask for your review / comments / suggestions. I'd love to hear from you all...

The Agile PMO – Practical Value Driven Change Leadership in Projects and Portfolios
Approximately 50 percent of Project Management Offices (PMO) are terminated in 2 years. Yet, the same mistakes are repeated in the implementations! We use generic, project control processes to stifle project and product delivery; focusing on cost time and scope, rather than leading our projects to deliver value.
In this presentation the audience will learn an alternative model for a value driven PMO as an integrator, enabler, differentiator, and change agent in business, development and the organization.
After hiking towards a glacier in Denali National Park Alaska, we were making camp near a small dreary lake. Suddenly I heard my friend saying: “Michael there’s a bear here, it is on this side of the lake”. And there he was, a 250 pounds Grizzly not more than 10 feet away…frightened to our underwear we followed through with the recommended protocol for bear encounters in the wild…we waved our hands and begged him not to snack on us…years later I had a similar bearish encounter with a CFO at a fortune 100 company; this time waving my hands above my head was futile; our team had to come up with an influence approach fast!
Breakthrough Member Experience: Boost Your Chapter Impact by Delivering The innovative service and experience Your Members Want
In order to stay current, organizations and non-profits invest ongoing efforts every year, developing services and offerings.
But how many of those efforts create an impact on the member experience?
Today, the key to winning the minds and hearts of members, improving services and increasing membership buy in, is understanding the member experience, and building valuable services and results that serve them.
In this inspiring talk, the audience will take away specific strategies that will help them understand what their membership really want, and how to streamline iterative fast feedback, thereby increasing impact, and net worth benefits to the chapter.
Building highly effective virtual teams

You will learn to: Identify the characteristics, challenges and opportunities of virtual leading teams; Define key strategies for leading effective virtual teams; Recognize what virtual team members need and expect from virtual team leaders; Employ key techniques to build trust.
We’ll cover:
• Team charter, trust and conduct indicators for virtual teams
• Virtual team building games
• Cultural dimensions including Geert Hofstede cultural analysis
• Understanding my culture and impacts – Gestalt concept of projecting
• NLP powerful words for virtual teams
• Tips and tricks for use of tools

Breakthrough Consumer Experience – Revolutionizing Our Organization to Deliver Value
“There is only one boss. The customer; and he can fire everybody in the company from the chairman on down, simply by spending his money elsewhere.” …
(Sam Walton founder of Walmart)
In today’s volatile market, Consumer focused experience is the single driver for long term survival. Companies such as Facebook, Amazon, Google, John Deere and Salesforce figured out the approach to sustainable product development: they revolutionized their minimal consumer experience (MVE) applying Lean Startup, Design Thinking, Agile Product Development, Continuous Delivery and DEVOPS. The successful integration of these breakthrough concepts is at the heart of long term success whether your company is in the Software industry, Retail, Health, IT or government.
In an eye-opening presentation based on his global experience, having worked with Fortune 100 companies as United Health Group, Intel, Philips, Volvo, Citi, Michael shares the essential ingredients that will help guide you through the MVE journey.
The presentation will invigorate you to rethink your organization; How to move from legacy operational models (sales, operations, engineering, marketing, finance and product) to a unified cross functional task force; driving innovation, creativity and delivering value to customers!
“The average lifespan of a company listed in the S&P 500 has shrunk by more than 50 years in the last century, from 67 years in the 1920s to 15 years today”… (Yale professor Richard Foster).
Make sure you last! Take one step to revolutionize your organization today – invite Michael to inspire your journey to transformation.

The Agile PMO - practical value driven change leadership in projects and portfolios.
Conclusive research findings show that approximately %50 of PMOs are disbanded in two years. Yet, we repeat the same mistakes in our PMO implementations – wasting money, resources and most important – wasting time. In this presentation we focus on the value driven PMO as an integrator, enabler, differentiator, and change agent in business, development and the organization in general.
We analyze the essential model for PMO value enablement which answers:
• What is the strategic role of the value driven PMO in business;
• How to ensure effective streamlined delivery;
• How to effectively select and prioritize opportunities;
• How to manage resource allocation.
Key take away – a PMO must deliver value to the organization constantly. Value isn’t templates, tools and processes rather it is the ability to finish the right projects faster!

Convincing the bear - Influence without authority
After hiking towards a glacier in Denali National Park Alaska, we were making camp near a small lake. Suddenly I heard my friend saying “Michael there’s a bear here, it is on this side of the lake”. And there he was, a ‘young’ 200 Pound Grizzly no more than 10 feet away… Influencing a bear in the Alaskan outback is quite similar to handling the bears or rather stakeholders of the modern organization – both have their own agenda, and will have you for lunch if they think it serves their interests and appetites.
In this presentation we learn best practices for leading and influencing without authority, including the three essentials model: stakeholder leadership, team orientation and individual adjustment. Do you have the proper toolset to influence the bears when you lack the authority?
After Michael’s presentation you will be able to:
• Use your personal power to lead and influence without authority
• Align your leadership with the team situation
• Make individual adjustments to influence through difficult project and business situations

And there he was, a ‘young’ 200 Pound Grizzly no more than 10 feet away… Influencing a bear in the Alaskan outback is quite similar to handling the bears or rather stakeholders of the modern organization – both have their own agenda, and will have you for lunch if they think it serves their interests and appetites.
In this presentation we learn best practices for leading and influencing without authority, including the three essentials model: stakeholder leadership, team orientation and individual adjustment. Do you have the proper toolset to influence the bears when you lack the authority?
After Michael’s presentation you will be able to:
• Use your personal power to lead and influence without authority
• Align your leadership with the team situation
• Make individual adjustments to influence through difficult project and business situations
Agile and Scrum 101 – basics of Agile and Scrum
Scrum in 100 words:
• Scrum is an agile process that allows us to focus on delivering the highest business value in the shortest time.
• It allows us to rapidly and repeatedly inspect actual working software (every two weeks to one month).
• The business sets the priorities. Teams self-organize to determine the best way to deliver the highest priority features.
• Every two weeks to a month anyone can see real working software and decide to release it as is or continue to enhance it for another sprint.
In the presentation we discuss the basics of Agile and Scrum, the roles, ceremonies and artifacts. We add from our, from the trenches, lessons learned and better practices.
The Agile PMO - practical value driven change leadership in projects and portfolios
Conclusive research findings show that approximately %50 of PMOs are disbanded in two years. Yet; we repeat the same mistakes in our PMO implementations – wasting money, resources and most important – wasting time. In this presentation we focus on the value driven PMO as an integrator, enabler, differentiator, and change agent in business, development and the organization in general..
We analyze the essential model for PMO value enablement which answers:
• What is the strategic role of the value driven PMO in business;
• How to ensure effective streamlined delivery;
• How to effectively select and prioritize opportunities;
• How to manage resource allocation.
Key take away – a PMO must deliver value to the organization constantly. Value isn’t templates, tools and processes rather it is the ability to finish the right projects faster!

“After hiking towards a glacier in Denali National Park Alaska, we were making camp near a small lake. Suddenly I heard my friend saying: “Michael there’s a bear here, it is on this side of the lake”. And there he was, a young 150 kg Grizzly not more than 4 meters away… Influencing a bear in the Alaskan outback is quite similar to handling the bears or rather stakeholders of the modern organization both have their own agendas, and will have you for lunch if they think it serves their interests and appetites.”
There is no right way, nor is there only one way to influence others. Everything, but everything, is a factor when influencing people.
Your job requires you to influence people just about all of the time. It may take the form of gaining support, inspiring others, persuading other people to become your champions, engaging someone's imagination, creating relationships. Whatever form it takes, being an excellent influencer makes your job easier.
This one day training provides practical hands on experience of influence, primarily in a matrix organization; where informal power is the driver for success. We equip you with relevant best practice tools: you will be involved in recreating and re-running real interpersonal situations using the learning to discover specific behaviour patterns, relate to them, investigate different approaches and learn how to influence without authority.
Key takeaway: best practices for leading and influencing without authority, including the three essentials model: stakeholder leadership, team orientation and individual adjustment. Do you have the proper toolset to influence the bears when you lack the authority?
Workshop objectives:
• Identify stakeholders perspectives, and employ the appropriate communication and influencing style;
• Exercise situational based influence through reading interpersonal cues and body language;
• Practice the secrets of persuasion in getting others’ support;
• Create presentations, with the listeners’ preferences in mind;
• Employ concepts of Gestalt and NLP in influencing;
• Analyze areas for personal improvement;
• Convince the organizational bear by planning a tailored, systematic approach for gaining support, resources and collaboration from individuals in organizations where you have little or no formal influence
Conclusive research findings inform us that many PMOs are disbanded in two years. Yet; we repeat the same mistakes in our PMO implementations – wasting money, resources and time. In this practical, interactive discussion the focus will be on the value driven PMO as an integrator, enabler, differentiator, and change agent in business, development and the organization in general.
Michael’s will address the essential model for PMO value enablement:
1. The two key concept of the Agile PMO – a PMO that is inherently agile, adaptive and value driven and a PMO that interfaces between Agile product delivery and the traditional Waterfall organization
2. How to ensure effective streamlined delivery by abolishing waste
3. How to effectively select and prioritize opportunities
4. How to manage resource allocation from a top down approach in an effective manner by targeting critical resources
It is all about value – and no, documents don’t provide it;
PMO focus on strategic resources, Agile provides the local empirical leadership;
PMO perception change – being the good guys;
How many of you manage a PMO or have a PMO in the organization
Have you seen failures? What are the challenges?
What makes a PMO – Agile?
Yes we have a PMO in the organization and…

The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.
