The results are in, and the conclusion is clear: Agile methods produce better results for knowledge work. Corporations have initiated large-scale Agile transformations in order to achieve these benefits across the entire organization. These transformations often involve retraining, retooling, re-organizing into “squads” and hiring dozens or hundreds of Scrum Masters and Agile coaches. Sadly, these efforts are rarely successful. Why?
Simply put, team agility does not produce business agility. By focusing exclusively on the team level, the organization fails to solve three main problems: no Agile interactions between teams, no end-to-end management of the value streams, and no Agile strategic portfolio management. In addition, the organization has failed to realize that the Agile team structure does not have to match the reporting structure. While it may ultimately make sense to reorganize reporting relationships, that should be done last, not first.
In this talk, I will introduce the Flight Levels model and the Kanban Maturity Model. The Flight Level framework recognizes that there are three different levels on which work should be visualized and coordinated: the strategy/portfolio level, the coordination/value-stream level, and the operational/team level. The Kanban Maturity Model helps us understand the current level of organizational maturity and choose practices that take us to the learning zone and avoid the “panic” zone of emotional resistance. Working with Agile teams who may be using Kanban, Scrum, SAFe, LeSS, or Disciplined Agile, we will explore how this model dramatically simplifies the problem and show how it has enabled real business agility.

This presentation was part of my session in "Agile in Business" seminar in Chennai on July 27th, 2013, organized by Unicom. This addresses the different aspects to be considered when a test team is transformed in an Agile set-up performing Agile Testing.
Resource Planning is one of the biggest headaches for medium to large organizations. Creating a detailed resource plan that is meaningful is very difficult, and keeping it up to date is almost impossible. Plans that look good are often an attractive fiction, full of unrealistic assumptions, over-allocations, and the spreading of too-few people in too many ways.
Agile Resource Planning provides a very different approach to the classic model. It produces realistic plans that are simple to maintain, and effective for planning work over time. In this webinar, Dr. Kevin Thompson will present new concepts in Agile Resource Planning, which provide a practical and easy-to-use approach to Resource Planning that can be used for Agile and classic environments.

Successful Agile Transformation - The NCS StoryNUS-ISS

Life Has Not Been That Rosy With Agile : Rahul SudameoGuild .
In my experience, Agile adoption started in some of the organizations with lot of hype and inflated expectations. And in such cases, if Agile transformation is not handled properly, it can result in multiple challenges rather than providing the expected benefits.
This practical experience sharing session would cover some such problems I faced while applying Agile in different environments. The audience practicing Agile can relate some of these challenges with their own environment as well. The attendees who are on their path to Agile transformation can learn from the lessons and mistakes shared by the speaker.
The session would cover challenges observed due to nature of the project, customer-vendor engagement model, application of processes, attitude of people rolling out agile, unrealistic expectations, conflict in roles and responsibilities. It would also highlight challenges introduced to some of the roles (like Project/QA Manager/Manual Tester etc.) in Agile environment and impact on billing / project contracts / SOW etc.

Why Agile is Failing in Large EnterprisesLeadingAgile
Agile works. We get it. You don’t have to sell people on the underlying principles anymore. Even so, many large-scale agile transformations are struggling. Some have failed. Others can’t figure out why things aren't working after multiple attempts. It’s easy to blame the people, the process, and the culture. And it’s especially easy to blame management. However, the underlying problem is that most large organizations weren’t built to be agile. You need a way to safely and pragmatically refactor your company into an organization that can adopt agile and sustain the transformation. Mike Cottmeyer introduces a framework for understanding the type of company in which you work, its delivery constraints, and likely challenges you’ll face in your agile transformation. Mike shares a strategy for establishing an end-state vision and operational model to guide your transformation. Finally, he defines an approach for incrementally introducing change, measuring outcomes, and sustaining those changes.

The Executives Step-by-Step Guide to Leading a Large-Scale Agile TransformationLeadingAgile
This talk explores a safe, pragmatic, and repeatable formula for leading change in large organizations. The Holy Grail for an executive is to tie dollars spent and activities performed, to internal improvement metrics and ultimately improved business performance. We’ll start by discussing the elements of an agile transformation business case and how to identify a meaningful value proposition for change. Next we’ll consider how to assess the organization and build an agile transformation strategy and roadmap that encourages an iterative and incremental approach to change. Finally we’ll explore the metrics and controls that help you know if you’re on the right track. Throughout the presentation, we’ll explore the change management and engagement techniques necessary to make sure you are building meaningful organizational support as you engage the enterprise. We’ll discuss how to build and execute a change management strategy to keep everyone safe and informed throughout the transformation. We’ll show how to sustain and improve the changes over time, ultimately creating an organizational ecosystem where business agility is part of the fundamental DNA of the company. The goal of this talk is to take the magic out of agile transformation and show you how to systematically and planfully introduce agile into your organization.

Keys to Successful Cohabitation: Governance and Autonomous TeamsDevOps.com
Our release management processes and teams are there to try to protect us from failure and disaster, but when we want to accelerate our velocity, they can seem to get in the way. Current best practices that optimize value streams move toward smaller, autonomous teams who are responsible for every aspect of delivery and risk management. But how can we do that without compromising our governance and introducing risk?
Join Helen Beal, a self-described ‘DevOpsologist’ at Ranger4 and Jeff Keyes, VP of Product at Plutora, to learn about:
Why autonomous teams and centralized governance can live together;
How organizations evolve to release frequently and safely on demand;
What happens to release managers in a decentralized model;
The technology that supports us in making risk-informed decisions.

Markets are changing faster than typical strategic planning cycles can support. Additionally, digital strategies are increasing interdependencies and exacerbating the strain on execution. Strategic planning often falls short because it’s not as fluid as it needs to be.
One thing we must consider is that there are—typically— a lot of assumptions being made about markets as well as the organization’s capacity to execute. Those assumptions often miss the mark when attempting to meet the ever-changing needs and expectations of shareholders and customers. Agile provides the opportunity to create the requisite adaptability to validate and adapt to as we understand our ability to deliver and the realizable value of our strategies.
This talk is targeted at senior managers seeking to understand how to leverage Agile to improve Strategic Execution. This talk will show how to build market sensing into strategic planning, how to design the execution model to provide valuable feedback, and how to prioritize learning to maximize return. The model has been developing over the years and has successfully responded to the assumptions and ambiguity facing firms. The reality is that it’s not that simple, but we have a model that can help.
Learning Outcomes:
• Understand how agile can enable strategy execution in rapidly evolving markets
• Quantify opportunities to accelerate learning to maximize business return
• Determine when and how to prioritize for learning over earning
Product-Driven Organizations: The Evolution of AgileLeadingAgile
Agile has been great. Revolutionary, even. Organizations are producing software faster, creating more cross-functional and collaborative teams than ever before. However, a lot of Agilists are experiencing diminishing returns on their investment to go Agile. Why is that?
The reality is that you've likely tapped the potential of your Agile practices and you've reaped all the benefits of the Agile culture that you've instilled already. The good news is that your journey doesn't have to end here.
The next evolution of Agile is to restructure the business, create a product-driven organization, and build a system of delivery that's conducive to getting more mileage out of your investment in Agile.
System of Delivery: An Intro to Our Governance ModelLeadingAgile
Our governance model and team design may look a little complicated at first glance. However, there's a lot of intentionality within our system of delivery to ensure that you're solving the right problems, at the right time, to maximize throughput and the value delivered to your customers.
In this video, our Chief Methodologist, Dennis Stevens will remove the noise and walk you through our governance model and team design to help you better understand the LeadingAgile system of delivery.

Rick Austin - Portfolio mangement in an agile world [Agile DC]LeadingAgile
When organizations move to agile for software delivery, there is often tension with traditional portfolio management. This talk will illustrate how an organization can move from traditional portfolio management approaches to one that embraces agile software delivery. Doing so enables organizations to become predictable, improve the flow of value delivered, and pivot more quickly if necessary.
We will demonstrate the use of governance that allows a more adaptive portfolio management approach. We will cover topics that enable agile portfolio management including:
Lean techniques for managing flow
Effective prioritization techniques
Long range road-mapping
Demand management and planning
Progressively elaborated business cases
Validation of outcomes
Support for audit and compliance needs
These topics will be illustrated by real-world examples of portfolio management that have been proven over the last five years with a wide range of clients.
Faster Food and a Better Place to Sleep: Exploring Agile in Non-IT DomainsLeadingAgile
Agile methods aren’t just for software anymore. Actually, they haven’t been just for software for quite a while now. That said, the types of companies, and the types of industries, that are exploring team-based, collaborative, iterative, and incremental approaches to do their work is rather breathtaking. Agile is truly going mainstream. The question at hand is can we apply team-based Agile straight out of the box in a non-software context? Can we take our scaled Agile approaches and apply them without modification? Mike Cottmeyer’s experience is that most of the principles and patterns apply, but sometimes the practices and frameworks need modification for a particular context.
Leading a large-scale agile transformation isn’t about adopting a new set of attitudes, processes, and behaviors at the team level… it’s about helping your company deliver faster to market, and developing the ability to respond to a rapidly changing competitive landscape. First and foremost, it’s about achieving business agility. Business agility comes from people having clarity of purpose, a willingness to be held accountable, and the ability to achieve measurable outcomes. Unfortunately, almost everything in modern organizations gets in the way of teams acting with any sort of autonomy. In most companies, achieving business agility requires significant organizational change.
Agile transformation necessitates a fundamental rethinking of how your company organizes for delivery, how it delivers value to its customers, and how it plans and measures outcomes. Agile transformation is about building enabling structures, aligning the flow of work, and measuring for outcomes-based progress. It’s about breaking dependencies. The reality is that this kind of change can only be led from the top. This talk will explore how executives can define an idealized end-state for the transformation, build a fiscally responsible iterative and incremental plan to realize that end-state, as well as techniques for tracking progress and managing change.
Information Radiators and Information VaultsLeadingAgile
Dave Nicolette discusses the tendency for novice teams to feel that maintaining information radiators in their team area represents duplicate effort on top of keeping their project management tool up to date. In reality, the two types of tools have quite different purposes. Let’s clarify the purpose of each and the differences between them.
Leading a large-scale agile transformation isn’t about adopting a new set of attitudes, processes, and behaviors at the team level… it’s about helping your company deliver faster to market, and developing the ability to respond to a rapidly changing competitive landscape. First and foremost, it’s about achieving business agility. Business agility comes from people having clarity of purpose, a willingness to be held accountable, and the ability to achieve measurable outcomes. Unfortunately, almost everything in modern organizations gets in the way of teams acting with any sort of autonomy. In most companies, achieving business agility requires significant organizational change.
Agile transformation necessitates a fundamental rethinking of how your company organizes for delivery, how it delivers value to its customers, and how it plans and measures outcomes. Agile transformation is about building enabling structures, aligning the flow of work, and measuring for outcomes-based progress. It’s about breaking dependencies. The reality is that this kind of change can only be led from the top. This talk will explore how executives can define an idealized end-state for the transformation, build a fiscally responsible iterative and incremental plan to realize that end-state, as well as techniques for tracking progress and managing change.
Enterprise Agile Metrics: A GQM ApproachLeadingAgile
Ever feel like you're doing metrics wrong? Well, you probably are! Join us and up your game by learning the GQM approach to Agile metrics.
In Agile, there is a need to collect data to demonstrate progress and show improvement, but where does one even start? Common Agile metrics approaches do well at measuring team velocity and throughput, but can sometimes overlook the requirements of executive sponsors, product management, and other key stakeholders. This problem is often rooted in a lack of understanding about what business goals are driving decision-making throughout the organization and what questions we should be answering with the metrics we collect.
The “Goal-Question-Metric” (GQM) approach is a proven method for driving goal-oriented measures throughout a software organization. With GQM, we start by defining the goals we are trying to achieve, then ask clarifying questions around those goals, and finally answer our questions through objective metrics. By mapping business outcomes and goals to specific measures, we can form a better picture of the Agile environment and clearly demonstrate how we are doing across the span of the enterprise.
During this session, we will explore the GQM approach and show its effectiveness in identifying the key information your enterprise needs to know at the Executive, Portfolio, Program, and Delivery tiers. We will provide sample metric sets for each tier and explain the goals and questions that drove us to them. At the end of this talk, the audience will understand not only how to ask the right questions, but specifically what metrics can be used to answer them.

Portfolio Management in an Agile World - Rick AustinLeadingAgile
When organizations move to agile for software delivery, there is often tension with traditional portfolio management. Rick Austin illustrates how an organization can move from traditional portfolio management approaches to one that embraces agile software delivery. Doing so enables organizations to become predictable, improve the flow of value delivered, and pivot more quickly if necessary.
Avoiding the Pitfalls of Capitalizing Software in an Agile WorldLeadingAgile
With the increased speed that CIOs and CTOs are moving their teams into agile environments, their financial brethren are running to catch up. Having been grounded in the days of waterfall methodologies, the financial side of the house is dealing with great uncertainty on how to account for software development costs. Questions include: Are all development costs now expensed because of the continual planning, developing and pivoting of software projects that occurs within agile? If development costs can be capitalized, what is the appropriate way to track these costs – through hours or something new altogether like story points?
We will explore how the historic accounting guidance that was developed specifically through the lens of waterfall methodologies remains applicable within agile methodologies. We will look at the alternative ways to amortize these capitalized development costs and evaluate the pros and cons of doing so. In addition to the financial reporting aspects of this presentation, we will also explore the benefits gained by moving from project-based funding to overall product–based funding and what key requirements must be in place to have that successful.
The goal of this presentation is to increase awareness among the audience that while making the decision to become agile is a business decision, this decision cannot be done in isolation. The business will eventually need the approval by their finance colleagues and if these financially grounded colleagues are not educated on the financial and accounting implications of moving to agile methodologies they may block such a move based on their misunderstandings alone. Getting everyone on the same page is a key success factor when moving to agile.
Faster Food and a Better Place to Sleep: Applying Agile Outside of SoftwareLeadingAgile
Agile methods aren’t just for software anymore. Actually they haven’t been just for software for quite a while now. That said, the types of companies, and the types of industries, that are exploring team-based, collaborative, iterative and incremental approaches to do their work is rather breath-taking. Agile is truly going mainstream. The question at hand is can we apply team-based agile straight out of the box in a non-software context? Can we take our scaled agile approaches and apply them without modification? Mike Cottmeyer will talk about his specific experiences with two companies, in different industries, both trying to use agile to solve their problems.

Agile Analytics: A GQM Approach to Enterprise MetricsLeadingAgile
When undertaking an Agile transformation, there is a need to collect data to demonstrate progress and show improvement, but where does one even start? Common Agile metrics approaches do well at measuring team velocity and throughput, but can sometimes overlook the requirements of executive sponsors, product management, and other key stakeholders. This problem is often rooted in a lack of understanding about what business goals are driving decision making throughout the organization and what questions we should be answering with the metrics we collect.
The “Goal-Question-Metric” (GQM) approach is a proven method for driving goal-oriented measures throughout a software organization. With GQM, we start by defining the goals we are trying to achieve, then clarifying the questions we are trying to answer with the data we collect. By mapping business outcomes and goals to data-driven metrics, we can form a holistic picture of the Agile environment and clearly articulate how we are doing across the span of the enterprise.
During this session, we will explore the GQM approach and show its effectiveness in identifying the key information your enterprise needs to know at the Executive, Portfolio, Program, and Delivery tiers. We will provide example metric sets for each tier and explain the goals and questions that drove us to them. At the end of this talk, the audience will understand not only how to ask the right questions, but specifically what metrics can be used to answer them.

First Steps with Globus Compute Multi-User EndpointsGlobus
In this presentation we will share our experiences around getting started with the Globus Compute multi-user endpoint. Working with the Pharmacology group at the University of Auckland, we have previously written an application using Globus Compute that can offload computationally expensive steps in the researcher's workflows, which they wish to manage from their familiar Windows environments, onto the NeSI (New Zealand eScience Infrastructure) cluster. Some of the challenges we have encountered were that each researcher had to set up and manage their own single-user globus compute endpoint and that the workloads had varying resource requirements (CPUs, memory and wall time) between different runs. We hope that the multi-user endpoint will help to address these challenges and share an update on our progress here.

Attendees will learn the practical aspects of setting up and remotely triggering LLMs from local machines, focusing on ease of use and efficiency. This talk is ideal for researchers and practitioners looking to leverage the power of LLMs in their work, offering a clear guide to harnessing supercomputing resources for quick and effective LLM inference.
We describe the deployment and use of Globus Compute for remote computation. This content is aimed at researchers who wish to compute on remote resources using a unified programming interface, as well as system administrators who will deploy and operate Globus Compute services on their research computing infrastructure.
Graspan: A Big Data System for Big Code AnalysisAftab Hussain
We built a disk-based parallel graph system, Graspan, that uses a novel edge-pair centric computation model to compute dynamic transitive closures on very large program graphs.
We implement context-sensitive pointer/alias and dataflow analyses on Graspan. An evaluation of these analyses on large codebases such as Linux shows that their Graspan implementations scale to millions of lines of code and are much simpler than their original implementations.
These analyses were used to augment the existing checkers; these augmented checkers found 132 new NULL pointer bugs and 1308 unnecessary NULL tests in Linux 4.4.0-rc5, PostgreSQL 8.3.9, and Apache httpd 2.2.18.

We use this governance model which shows how teams collaborate through each of the 3 tiers. The model shows the development flow of value/work through the enterprise. We manage our work within in the tiers through four steps: Strategic Alignment, Solution Validation, Demand Planning & Release Commitment (Detailed Planning) and Measurable Progress (Execution & Accountability). The model is focused on continuous improvement by maximizing strategic alignment, increasing transparency and predictability, improving quality, reducing work, and minimizing delivery risk.
Structure is made up of a 3 Tier Team Structure approach. The three main tiers of our Enterprise Transformation Model are Portfolio, Program and Delivery. Each tier manages the flow of work associated with delivering on the requirements of the product at the respective level of detail for their tier and in collaboration with the tier above/below it.
This slide introduces some of the metrics that can be tracked at each of the team levels in order to ensure we are on the right track with our goals as an organization moving to/ adopting agile.
Important to note that while these are suggested metrics to track, even more important is to ensure that the metrics being tracked are useful to the teams, and that they actually contribute to the teams’ continuous improvement goals. It is important to identify one or two metrics to start with, set goals for those metrics, then move on to or add other metrics.
You should also be able to define each of these metrics and explain them.
Delivery Team:
Backlog Size: What is the size (in user story points, or whatever other measure your team uses to size backlog items) of the backlog sprint over sprint? Is it growing (meaning scope is increasing)? Is it steadily decreasing as we burn through items, or is it stalled? These are all indications of whether or not we are working through the backlog at a healthy pace, and/or whether we are getting a lot of change from stakeholders that needs to be accounted for in release dates, etc.
Velocity: Mainly a metric for teams to track the amount of work they are able to take on in a sprint, velocity can be an indicator of whether teams should hold back or take on more work in upcoming sprints. It’s also a great tool for forecasting and achieving predictability with releases. Some anti-patterns to look for:
Are there unforeseen development challenges we didn't account for when estimating work? How can we better break down work to uncover some of these challenges?
Is there outside business pressure pushing the team beyond its limits? Is adherence to development best practices suffering as a result?
As a team, are we overestimating our ability to take on work in the sprint?
Burndown: The Sprint Burndown shows the amount of work the team is “burning through” or completing throughout the sprint. The x-axis represents time, and the y-axis refers to the amount of work left to complete, measured in either story points or hours. The goal is to have all the forecasted work completed by the end of the sprint. Some anti-patterns to look for:
The team finishes early almost every sprint - they are potentially not committing to enough work.
The team misses their forecasted delivery every sprint - potentially because they're committing to too much work.
The burndown line makes steep drops rather than a more gradual burndown - stories may be too big and need to be split into smaller stories.
The product owner frequently adds or changes the scope mid-sprint.
Escaped Defects: # of defects that escaped the testing/ quality process and were included in a release.
Commit % Ratio: This metric helps teams become predictable in their estimating and sprint planning. It encourages smaller stories and more effort getting work ready prior to the sprint. Ideally, teams are delivering somewhere within 10% of the commitment.
Number of Committed Stories Delivered/ Number of Committed Stories
Number of Committed Points Delivered/ Number of Committed Points
Acceptance % Ratio: This metric helps us get a look into the quality of output, as well as the effectiveness of communication between product owners/ stakeholders, and teams.
Number of Accepted Stories/ Number of Delivered Stories
Scope Change: This metric measures the amount of change introduced into the backlog after we have started a sprint.
Number of total stories (or points) at the end of the sprint/ Number of stories (or points) that were committed when the sprint started
Product Owner Team:
Cycle Time: This metric measures the total time from the beginning to the end of a process per unit of work. Cycle time includes actual processing (or work/ development time), as well as delay time, which is any time that a unit of work is sitting and waiting to be taken to the next action or step in the process.
Features Blocked: The number of features that are blocked from moving forward because of technical or organizational dependencies or impediments.
Rework/ Defects: The number of items that need to be reworked, or defects that need to be fixed, as a ratio of total items delivered.
As you can guess, the goal of the product owner team is to reduce these three metrics, and increase the amount of value delivered to the customer per unit time.
Portfolio Team:
ROI/ Capitalization: These metrics measure the return on investment in product development, meaning how much of the investment in developing the product was then realized as profit. These metrics are important to the portfolio team as they help guide decisions regarding what products to continue to invest in, and where some investments might not have achieved the expected/ desired returns.
Lead Time: Lead Time is total elapsed time for work, and equals Cycle Time * WIP. I.e., Lead time is equal to the amount of time it takes to process a unit of work * the amount of work we have in progress at any given moment. The shorter we can make lead time, the better for customers, since it means we are delivering value faster, and not having items wait in idle states before getting worked on or completed.
By embracing the agile manifesto, managers have a guide and reference for decision making as well as the kinds of behaviors to reinforce within teams.
The values and principles of the manifesto are a clear guideline for managers regardless of the specifics of the agile framework they are trying to implement.
Scope Management Plan is often an informal agreement on what we’re going to do when scope needs to be adjusted, either because of an important opportunity, or because things are going poorly. It’s policy concerning whether release scope can be revisited each sprint, or not. Agree in advance how they might handle a certain risk.
