Guiding an organisation through an Agile transformation is difficult, enabling it to change, almost impossible. Many Agile coaches rely on a variety of scaling frameworks that focus on specific processes and practices across the Agile transformation. Such an approach can only affect the climate of the organisation but rarely the deeper aspects of the culture or organisational personality to enable lasting change.
We need more of a principles-based approach that enables the organisations to take ownership and make changes that are created for its context. In this way, we can apply Agile principles to achieve agility across the entire domain of the organisation.
In this workshop, I’ll share with you the 10 principles of enterprise agility and walk you through how these principles can make a difference to your enterprise transformation and what every agile coach should be doing to help apply these principles in any setting, for any organisation to flourish.
In Agile Transformation, C comes before A by Syed RiyazuddinAgile ME
Almost 19 years since Agile Manifesto was published, organizations are still struggling to adopt and mature Agile. There is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to Agile transformation strategy, but plenty of learning from other successful/ failed initiatives.
I will discuss one of the crucial prerequisites of Agile transformation, Cultural assessment, referring to some of the popular models, such as Schneider and Laloux. But most importantly which framework would be most suitable, mapping to cultural type of a department/organization. Not limiting to Scrum, or Kanban, but considering other methods such as Lean, Design Thinking, DevOps etc, to formulate one that aligns with organization's culture. At two levels, first Adoption and then Scale (Scale -up or -out).
Along the way, I will share insights from my experience, some use cases, from working across organizations of various sizes and shapes, and the factors that enabled success in their transformation journeys.
Agile Approach for Innovation Management by Mohammad MuslehAgile ME
In the world current disruption and volatility, corporates are under intense pressure for new innovation, transformation and implementation, where most of them were adapting the traditional approach of an annual plan for project innovation, this include, ideas, budget, allocated team and KPI’s, which considered as waterfall approach for managing innovation project.
Indeed, many of these innovation projects struggled to be realized if it’s successful or real ones till year end, or till the project fall and collapse by itself unfortunately, where by then, huge amount of investments been lost, time wasted and most important it’s block the opportunity for the real innovation projects to be noticed and have exposure inside the corporate, especially if the yearly (long term) ones have occupied all the budget and intention.
Therefore a new mindset of managing innovation project should be adapted and implemented, new agile approach will need to take over to manage the ideas, finance, team and testing how desirable and viable each innovation project is in the market and how it’s feasible to the company.
Having an ‘agile mindset’ is all about embracing a mentality or approach that;
- believes in adapting to change
- learning through failures
- encouraging feedback to bring in consistent improvement.
Agile attitude is all about learning and continual improvement to attain milestones in business.

Agile Mumbai 2020 Conference | Drive Business agility by building a responsiv...AgileNetwork
Session Title: Drive Business agility by building a responsive organization
Session Overview: Responsiveness is new reality. Transparency and visibility are new must have for leaders. Exploration and adaption of new technologies is new norm. How do we build such a responsive organization to drive business agility?
Leadership Agility is the ability to rage effective action in complex rapid changing conditions. Team and organizational agility refer to the same set of capacities. Organizational agility is an ability for an organization to renew itself, adapt, change quickly, and succeed in a rapidly changing, ambiguous, turbulent environment. Agility is not incompatible with stability – agility requires stability.
Organizations striving to grow and sustain their success in these dynamic times often try to identify the characteristics in their executives that will propel the enterprise toward its potential. The prevailing thought goes something like this: we want greater organizational agility so what does that look like in our key people? Fair question, but not likely to lead them where they want to go.
The challenge is Organizational Agility is an outcome we can measure organizationally not a personal characteristic. The executives can do a number of things to increase the organization’s agility but they themselves don’t exhibit it.
Let's discuss all of these with Abiodun Osoba (International Lean/Agile Coach & Trainer for Enterprise Transformations)

KEY CONCEPT
Many organizations struggle to keep up because their culture, mindset and processes are designed for a Complicated domain (in Cynefin terms), whereas Agile is Business in Complexity.
ABSTRACT
How is it like for a manager to work in an environment where knowing the past will hardly help foresee the future? An environment where unpredictability and change are, in fact, the only constant? And how does this affect -- and is affected by -- the kind of intellectual work that is the true asset many organizations have, these days, to generate value?
In this talk we'll see how living and operating in the 21st century calls for a whole new set of skills for managers and how, most relevantly, calls for a mindset that's slightly different from the one we got used to in past decades.
We'll talk about the connection between mindset, complexity and agility; and you'll get some practical advice that can help you operate better in these domains.
Companies are facing different challenges, from moving towards customer centricity to generating deep organizational change. Based on our experiences accompanying them in this process, we would like to expose the different aspects that make a company service-design friendly. With insights and testimonials, we want to give you a human perspective on what makes companies a fertile environment for user-centric innovation and how to be better catalysts of this transformation.

In a turbulent environment, managers and leaders need to constantly adjust, cooperate and anticipate future changes. This presentation, given as part of PÖL Digital free meetup sessions, is an introduction to leadership agility as well as the Agile Profile®. Agile Profile is a management tool and a methodology to measure the level of agility of an organization, and identify how management behaviors and culture can be changed to better meet the demande of the environment.
In Agile we like to deliver valuable software to our customers on a regular basis. However, while it’s pretty clear what “software” means, we cannot really say the same about “valuable”.
The definition of Value in a project (with an uppercase “V”) is frequently fuzzy and confused. Even within the same project, asking different stakeholders what Value means to them produces different answers; and the same stakeholder will likely provide different definitions of Value, depending on their perception and role in the project.
Most stakeholders will naturally associate Value to money, sometimes through surprisingly creative correlations; but there are other dimensions, equally valid, such as strategic positioning, company image, innovation and learning, and so forth.
Understanding the multidimensional nature of Value becomes therefore critical to drive the project to success. In this talk we’ll address what Value means in Agile for different stakeholders; how to map and categorize the stakeholders; how to describe Value on different dimension and how to track it. We’ll also see what happens when we don’t do that.
Also, assuming different stakeholders on the same project have different and multifaceted perceptions of Value, how can we coordinate the production effort in a balanced way? Which kind of corporate culture and corporate values (plural) support that?

Remaining Agile in a fast growing start-up by Alexander Bosma and Muhammad No...Agile ME
Alef Education is a fast growing start-up established only in 2017? and we are now delivering our blended learning platform to over 55K students in over 150 schools in the UAE and a few in the USA.
Starting small, with a handful of developers, working Agile was easy peasy. Nowadays, with over 70 developers in 13 teams things got a lot more complex and retaining agility a constant challenge. In this presentation, we will cover a few of the issues that we faced and how we dealt with it. We will cover the introduction of DevOps, applying scaling techniques, dynamic re-teaming, organize around microservices and the introduction of CoP's.
Don't expect a huge success story, however... we are still learning and experimenting and we certainly don't have all the answers yet (or ever will). But we know that what we have experienced is of value for many companies and we are not afraid to share our mistakes as well for the sake of learning.

Workshop: User Stories: Building Blocks of Products by Mirza Asfaar Baig and ...Agile ME
"User stories" are building blocks of the products. It brings concepts to tangible form. The quality and completeness of the features are critical for the customers, on the other hand, realistic sizing, estimations and completeness of a user story is critical for the teams to make their customers happy.
Mike Cohn has said it beautifully "User stories are a promise to have a conversation about the requirements" that indicates user stories are not requirements.
In this workshop, we will refresh the concept why user stories are "a promise of having conversation" and not requirements in themselves. Then we will dive into some of techniques used to break down user stories for realistic sizing, estimations and completeness taking a real product example.
Good things come to those who innovate by Marita MitscheinAgile ME
We all have witnessed companies that seem to effortlessly turn innovation into value. What do these companies have in common? They innovate! But how? Innovation comes with high complexity, cost and inherent risk. Embracing innovation demands that products, services and processes are reimagined. So how do you mitigate the risk of boldly going where no man has gone before? How do you structure innovation projects and apply proven methodologies and practices to unchartered territory? How do you establish an innovation culture? There is not one holy grail of innovation, the right and unique blend of various techniques will drastically improve the chance of success of one’s innovation journey. We will look into examples of companies that disappeared due to the lack of innovation and into companies that demonstrated how their biggest setbacks have become realized opportunities.
Create business Agility plans for exponential companies by Erich R. BühlerAgile ME
We are in times of unprecedented change. The exponential disruption is affecting all facets of the way organizations operate, including the technology they use, how employees relate with each other and how companies interact among them. Are we ready for exponential change? How can we create change plans that impact the whole organization?
In recent years, brain-analysis technologies such as electroencephalography (EEG), magnetoencephalography (MEG), and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) have allowed us to track how the energy of a thought flows through the brain, in the same way, that we trace blood flowing through our circulatory system. We have concluded that our brains are not well prepared for large-scale change in companies or exponential disruptions.
Different techniques are needed in order to increase knowledge, accelerate adoption and deal with exponential change.
This session shows how to use powerful change plans and strategies to deal with these situations.
Getting to Yes - Delivering Powerful and Effective Review Meetings by Tiago P...Agile ME
You can view slides directly in prezi at https://prezi.com/view/L6QbLlMEl5Uctfqr1P6W/
The review meeting is a critical ceremony for the team and for the initiative that is underway. Do it right and you'll get all the valuable feedback you need. Do it wrong and you'll get angry and frustrated business stakeholders and no objective feedback that helps you determine where to move next. Too many review meetings fail almost before they start. This is because the stakeholders expectations are not properly managed. The lack of focus on the critical goal - validate items against objective acceptance criteria - brings a sort of a chaos inside the demo, with the users not knowing exactly what to validate. A lot of times, the team doesn't do a proper wrap-up, letting backlog remain in an "almost done" status, just because someone didn't ask directly to the business stakeholders and Product Owner to accept the Work item. Within this presentation I'll share an effective way to structure your review meeting, while providing some tools that will help the team stay on the right track.

Samsung's Agile & Lean UX Journey by Jaesung JoAgile ME
A journey to build a product with Lean & Agile has been a viral trend globally for years. There are several key challenges when adopting Lean & Agile practices at the enterprise level like Samsung. The rapid, flexible and iterative design approach has been conflicted with development teams which use traditional methodologies.
In 2015, we organized Samsung Agile Core Team, dedicated for developing products based on user-centered practices. For the first time in Korea, as a big enterprise we have made the grounds for Lean & Agile breakthrough.
As a designer lead of Agile Core Team, I'd like to share how to a build products in enterprise-scale team with a rapid prototyping and user validation. Especially enterprise where products involve many stakeholders and changes affect many teams across the organization needs solid confidence and sympathy from the early stage.
I want to share my experience and tips to overcome these issues through user data and tangible design.
Agile has been a trend over the years and has proved its adding value for business and IT respectively.
Join us to check out one of the top modern gears, Jira, that promotes Agile methodologies and assists in the agile culture adoption in organizations.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
