During the Agile transformation agile project and Program Manager needs to take multiple forms to support it.
A Startup Journey: Ad-hoc to Agile to KanbanSiddhi
This document describes a startup's journey from using ad-hoc processes to agile methods like Scrum and Extreme Programming, and then to incorporating kanban principles. In the first phase, adopting agile practices helped deliver software incrementally but feedback was lacking. In the second phase, kanban helped address issues like meaningless velocity measures, broken sprint planning, and decoupling work from releases by focusing on limiting work-in-progress and continuous flow. The new approach emphasizes self-organization, empowered teams, eliminating waste, and taking a holistic view.
Agile project management focuses on managing the delivery of valuable work within budget and timeline constraints by creating and supporting agile teams. The project manager is responsible for assembling teams with the right attitudes, knowledge, and skills for agile delivery. They then support the teams by acting as an orchestra conductor, coach, investor, or gardener to help the teams meet goals through self-organization and collaboration. While business still holds the project manager accountable, the new model of agile project management requires trusting that empowered teams can deliver value through an evolving paradigm of servant leadership and distributed control over process documentation.
The document provides an overview of JP Morgan Chase's (JPMC) large scale in technology through statistics on its customers, infrastructure, and technology investments. It then describes how JPMC is transforming to agile practices through empowered cross-functional teams, ceremonies like daily stand-ups, and agile concepts. The rest of the document outlines JPMC's programs for recruiting and developing entry-level software engineers through initiatives like Tech Connect, the Software Engineer Program, and career progression opportunities in data analytics.
HOW SPOTIFY STAYS LEAN FROM SMALL START-UP THROUGH RAPID-GROWTH (JOAKIM SUNDE...Lean Kanban Central Europe
In a few years Spotify has grown from a small startup in Sweden to a pretty big company with more than 30 engineering teams in four different development offices on two different continents. And we have no intention of slowing down. Such rapid growth carries big challenges. How can we continue to improve our product at great speed, while growing the number of users, employees and supported platforms and devices? How do we stay lean and agile when we grow from a small startup to a big corporation? In this talk we will present how Spotify is addressing these challenges. We will talk about autonomous squads, tribes, guilds, hack weeks, road managers, and a lot of other ideas we’re experimenting with.

The document discusses the imperatives of tools and engineering practices for scaling agile. It notes that when 10-15% of team members are not co-located, communication gaps can occur in requirements engineering, dependency management, integration, and more. Two types of tools are identified to help resolve these issues: collaboration tools and development accelerators. Specific tools and practices are recommended, including using video conferencing for ceremonies, application lifecycle management tools for planning, and development accelerators to break problems and accelerate code work. Benefits of adopting the right tools include increased throughput, velocity, test coverage, and more, as well as decreased cycle time, defects and failures.
The document discusses the polymorphism of agile project and program manager roles. It notes that historically, program managers have been overloaded in waterfall environments. There are also ambiguities in roles at the team, program, and portfolio levels during agile transformations. The document outlines some common myths about PM roles in agile programs and the organizational ambiguities that can arise during transformations. It then discusses concepts like ownership, execution, and polymorphism in agile. Polymorphism is defined as taking many forms, and the document states that program managers need to take different forms during transformations. It provides examples of how program managers can act as capability builders, remove obstacles, help teams build system thinking, engage in "genchi gen

Design of Experiments Group Presentation- Spring 2013Charles Kemmerer
This document describes experiments to optimize pipetting parameters for a robotic liquid handler. A screening design of experiments (DOE) was used to evaluate factors affecting pipetting accuracy and precision. Conditioning and aspiration volume had the largest effects on bias and coefficient of variation (%CV). A second DOE with fewer factors confirmed these results and found interactions between aspiration delay, conditioning, and dispense speed. A confirmation run showed settings predicted from the model effects achieved much tighter %CV than original settings or best settings from the DOE runs. While bias could not be improved, the experiments demonstrated pipetting precision can be optimized through experimental design.
The document discusses the meaning, definitions, characteristics, and principles of curriculum development. It defines curriculum as the "race course" or total experiences and activities of students. Several scholars define curriculum broadly as the complete school environment including courses, activities, reading, and associations provided to pupils. It is described as the tool used by teachers to attain educational aims and as including the total learning experiences a child receives in school. Principles of curriculum development state it should be objective-centered, allow for individual differences, be broad-based to train students for work and leisure, present integrated and correlated knowledge, and correlate teaching units to students' lives.
Breakthrough Therapy Designation- Spring 2014 Reg. IntelligenceCharles Kemmerer
Breakthrough Therapy Designation is a process created by the FDA to expedite the development and review of drugs for serious conditions. It requires preliminary clinical evidence that the drug may demonstrate substantial improvement over existing therapies. This allows drugs to be submitted for approval based on smaller trials. Benefits of designation include intensive FDA guidance, involvement of senior managers, and potentially reaching the market 3 years faster than standard approval. However, the designation may be removed if later trials do not confirm preliminary results. As of September 2013, 40 drugs had received this designation from the FDA.

Teaching Pointy-Haired Bosses to be Agile EnablersTechWell
Ryan Ripley says that Scrum failures can often be traced back to management not understanding their role in an agile world. What gets managed during an agile project? How is success measured? Will I keep my job in the transition? Managers have all these questions and more during an agile transformation. Unfortunately, these fears are not covered during the two-day certification courses. Agile coaches need a plan for how to talk with managers and teach them the best ways to contribute to agile projects. To better understand managers’ concerns, Ryan introduces the concept of personas, representing different managers. He explores ways to “coach up” management and help them get past their concerns and issues. Ryan shares his insights on where managers can improve agile projects, how they can add value in a newly transformed organization, and help pave the way for agile teams to succeed.

Lessons Learned from Scrum Adoption in Saudi Arabia - A session at Global Scr...Nafees Butt
Come and hear about the cultural constraints, the facts to be aware of and the stories & lessons of Scrum adoption from deserts of Arabia.
There are many similarities in experience of Scrum adoption presented in this session and the environment of lot of new and emerging markets in Asia. Having turned an organization 180 degrees in less than two years, these lessons and failures are valuable to people who are thinking of adopting, or have recently adopted Scrum. The particular commentary on team formation, improvement in running Scrum ceremonies, narratives and pain points will make an engaging talk for Foundation level audience.
Why do so many organizations struggle to put in place mature Agile teams that can apply proper Agile principles and deliver awesome products? Some people will say, “Agile is hard” as an excuse to not do Agile or to become frAgile. Well we think we have developed the “Secret Sauce” to rebooting any Agile team that just doesn’t seem to be maturing and we want to share it with you!
If you are thinking of scaling Agile across a large organization, then this talk is a must to attend to help ensure your teams have the right foundation. Organizations wanting to scale Agile must have a solid foundation of mature Agile teams who embrace the Agile values and have the right Agile mindset.
Over the years, as we have done Agile transformations in different organizations, we have seen common patterns that keep repeating. The most common pattern we found in our experience is that teams are frAgile. Too many either pretend to be Agile or don’t even know Agile is not a methodology, so organizations question the value of using Agile. Very often the confusion and frustration that comes with thinking that a team is Agile when they are not Agile, brings people right back to their old habits of command and control. Creating successful mature Agile teams is not sorcery, you need to discover the secret sauce!
In this talk, we will reveal our secrets on how to create a successful Agile-Scrum team in 5 sprints. Attendees will learn how we applied our secret sauce as we experimented with more than 30 teams and we refined the know-how. This recipe has proven to be successful in different organizations and teams delivering different types of products. Our Creative-Destruction approach goes through a human change process we labeled The Intervention Plan. The 5 steps are:
Step 1: Run in the rain
Step 2: Thunderstruck
Step 3: Start the M&M pain machine
Step 4: Open-up and look at the sun
Step 5: Removing the training wheels
And by using these 5 steps, attendees will discover the 5th Agile value!
This document outlines a method for rebooting an agile team in 5 sprints. It discusses assessing the current state using a survey across 5 dimensions. Sprint 1 focuses on understanding the current problems. Sprint 2 aims to break the status quo and motivate change. Sprint 3 has the team experience pain while implementing changes. Sprint 4 has the team cross the edge and collaborate better. Sprint 5 removes training wheels to create a high performing, self-organized agile team. The method emphasizes the importance of leadership, vision, engagement and quality from the start. It also notes that emotions are part of any change process and should be managed well.
APM webinar promoted by the South Wales and West of England branch on 24 February 2022.
In this webinar, Barbara Roberts will highlight the basic differences between a traditional (linear) style project and an agile style.
Barbara will explain how agile drives different behaviours, and therefore poses a different set of risks. Barbara will demonstrate an agile risk assessment, as well as sharing examples from her own experiences of some key agile project risks.

Михайло Кравець “Використання Agile методології в AAA розробці ігор” GameDev ...Lviv Startup Club
The document discusses the use of Agile methodologies in AAA game development. It provides an overview of Agile principles and Scrum framework, including roles, ceremonies and artifacts. While some aspects of Scrum like cross-functional teams and customer collaboration do not directly apply to embedded game development teams, the speaker argues that an iterative approach, daily stand-ups, sprint planning and retrospectives can still benefit teams. The document cautions against adopting Agile practices without understanding how they apply specifically to one's environment or "cult-like" following.

Manager in Managerless World : Presented by Chandan Lal PataryoGuild .
AS a Manager I want to create a space in agile world so that I can enable agile transformation.Manager can contribute significantly in transformation process.Let us walk through how ? Agile world removed the designation “Project Manager” etc word.Let us create our own space.
This document discusses the changing roles of managers and leaders in an agile work environment. It addresses how managers can boost agility by serving their teams and helping them become self-organized through coaching. Traditional project management roles are in conflict with agile principles, requiring project managers to adapt by focusing on resource allocation, communication, and facilitating the team rather than directing work. The role of the manager is to nurture the team and help it work effectively through establishing clear boundaries, authority, and stability over time.
At the end of 2017 the Scrum Alliance announced the launch of the Advanced Certified ScrumMasterTM (A-CSMTM) program. Are you ready for “advanced” Scrum Mastery? Here’s a way to tell.
Does your organization see the Scrum Master as someone who:
- Takes minutes at all Scrum events?
- Updates burndown charts?
- Is time-sliced across multiple Development Teams?

The document discusses whether agile will kill project management. It presents some key differences between traditional project management and agile approaches. While agile prioritizes adapting to change over stickling to a predefined plan, it does not eliminate project management but rather changes it. Agile still uses practices like planning at different levels from programs to sprints, but allows for more flexibility in scope to keep costs and time fixed. The document argues project managers still have an important role in agile, but with less command-and-control and more of a focus on leading and facilitating teams.

Teaching pointy haired bosses to be agile enablersRyan Ripley
Are managers hindering your Agile transition? Does it seem like things would be better if the managers all left?
Most managers are intelligent people who have built their careers and fed their families with their current knowledge and experience. During an agile transformation, we need them on-board. Managers know their present situation better than anyone else. They also have inside knowledge about the corporate systems and culture that agile coaches need in order to be successful.
But in some cases the manager does not understand agile. In extreme cases, they can become an impediment to an agile transformation moving forward. How can you get these managers back on your side, supporting the agile transformation?
Agile coaches should start with working to understand what the world looks like through the eyes of these managers. To facilitate this understanding, I discuss re-purposing the concept of product user personas to create manager personas that explore the issues, reservations, hold-ups and concerns that are keeping the manager from supporting an agile transformation.
With this new understanding, agile coaches can develop ways to demonstrate to managers why the agile approach is better, where management fit in the larger picture, and how management also benefits from the changes in the way the team delivers value back to the organization. These insights show managers where they can improve agile projects, how they can add value in a newly transformed organization, and how agile coaches can guide management without alienating them during an agile transformation.
This document discusses many potential people issues that can undermine an Agile-Scrum project, including lack of buy-in, improper roles, siloed teams, poor communication, lack of skills or motivation. It notes that organizational culture and support are important, and addresses problems like geographic distribution, free electrons, specialization, micromanagement and more. The coach is asked for help, but responds that fixing these deeply rooted issues requires organizational transformation, not a quick fix, and will be a journey to clean up the system.
This document summarizes a presentation on emerging project management trends in 2017. It discusses how project management has become a major part of the global economy and an in-demand career. The presentation outlines key trends like a focus on strategy, use of agile practices, importance of soft skills, and working with remote/distributed teams. It emphasizes that technical skills, leadership abilities, and strategic business management knowledge are all important for project success. The document promotes an upcoming project leadership conference and encourages connecting on social media to discuss project management.
