Scrum is simple to explain, yet hard to implement. Often the mechanics are executed without adoption of the underlying principles and values. This happens often where management assumes that Scrum is “just for software development” and that nothing else needs changing. In such situations, Scrum roles, artifacts and events are understood in terms of the prevailing traditional mindset:
- backlog as a specification
- sprint as a small project
- ScrumMaster as project manager
- commitment as a fixed date & scope contract
While such an implementation of Scrum might deliver predictable results and lead to some improvements, it often fails to transform the organisational mindset and culture. Your business might do the wrong things righter instead of delivering better and better products to delight your customers. To achieve a transformation of mindset and culture, an organisation needs to avoid the pitfalls mentioned above and adopt Scrum as a framework that inspires everyone to continually challenge the status quo. One way to achieve this is using Scrum sprints as risk-limiting containers for safe-to-fail experiments. This enables you to deliberately discover the potential of your people's capability and your products' value. Reviews and retrospectives need to be leveraged to drive this continuous improvement process. The talk will increase awareness of these types of Scrum and help you to rather “be agile” instead of just “do agile”—using Scrum to drive that transformation.

Application Lifecycle Management and Agile, friends... or foes? (Andrea Toma...Andrea Tomasini
The whole idea of ALM stems from the need to manage in an integrated manner the relationship between business processes and engineering processes. Attempting to integrate practices, information and tools for disciplines such as Requirement Engineering, Project Management, Configuration Management has long been a driver, with the important goal of achieving more transparency, and also more control. Centralization of information into a single authoritative repository moved many original ALM initiatives, but how does that fit with more modern Agile approaches? Is it really possible to have Agile ALM? What would we keep of ALM and what of Agile? Are ALM and Agile friends... or foes?

Recruitment and Social Media | SingaporeMarCruiter
This document discusses strategies for using social media in talent recruitment. It begins by outlining how the recruitment landscape has changed from relying on a small number of static channels to a dynamic, indefinite number of options. It then recommends minimizing the use of agencies, which traditionally provided access to candidate databases, by directly connecting with candidates using social media like LinkedIn, Twitter, and online referral systems. Specific strategies outlined include engaging employees' social networks to find referrals, maintaining talent pools of interested candidates, building ongoing relationships through events, and focusing on the most effective social media sources to build an internal corporate recruitment department and reduce agency costs.

OOP 2017 - Von Experimenten zu sprechen ist nicht schwer, sie effektiv zu nut...Ralf Kruse
Viele Firmen wollen sich durch eine Agile Transition für die Zukunft wappnen. Wenn wir dies ernst nehmen, sind tiefgreifende Änderungen in allen Bereichen der Organisation notwendig.
Eine Agile Transitionen ist eine Reise voller Unbekannter. Haben wir Unbekannte & Unsicherheiten, sollten wir es erstmal in limitierter Form ausprobieren. Was einfach klingt, stellt nichts weniger als das Selbstverständnis, alles zu wissen, in Frage. Oberflächliche und ineffektive Experimente sind die Folge. Wir wollen Wege aufzeigen, Experimente effektiv zu nutzen.
OOP 2017 - Durchdenken oder einfach mal machen?Ralf Kruse
Wie viel Vorbereitung und Klarheit braucht es eigentlich zur effektiven Entwicklung guter Produkte? Wann ist der Zeitpunkt gekommen mutig auszuprobieren & wann ist es fahrlässig? Wann ist es notwenig etwas gut zu durchdenken & wann ist es ineffektiv?
Eine Suche nach der richtigen Balance zwischen zwei vermeintlich gegensätzlichen, unvereinbaren Positionen.

Disruptus Spiel - AUG Bremen Oldenburg von Kai Hermanns & Christian BeckRalf Kruse
Beim Disruptus-Spiel geht es um das Thema Innovation und um verschiedene Methoden, vorgegebene Objekte und Ideen auf eine neue Art und Weise zu kombinieren und dadurch neue Ideen zu generieren. Das Lenrspiel basiert auf dem "disruptive thinking" Konzept und wurde erfolgreich bei der Entwicklung neuer innovativer Produkte und Geschäftsmodelle, z.B. aus der digitalen Musik, Kamera-Handy's oder Car-Sharing eingesetzt.
Als agiler Coach rutscht man leicht in die Rolle des reinen Prozesswächters. Schnell fühlt es sich dann wie Don Quijotes ständiger Kampf gegen die Windmühlen an – ein aussichtsloses Unterfangen! Aber muss das so sein? Als wirksamer Coach bzw. Scrum Master sollte ich meine Arbeit so strukturieren können, dass ich mich in solchen Situationen zukünftig nicht mehr aufreibe. Wir beleuchten ganz praktische Optionen, wie der agile Coach z. B. durch einen Wechsel der Perspektive auf den Weg in ein aktivierendes Umfeld zurückfindet.
In der agilen Welt heißt es: Das Gespräch sei mindestens genauso wichtig, wie die geschriebene Anforderung. Nur, was bedeutet das eigentlich konkret? In dieser Session werden wir diesen wichtigen Aspekt von Agilität gemeinsam ganz praktisch erleben. Wir werden den Weg von der Generierung einer Idee bis hin zur Schaffung eines initialen Backlogs praktisch beschreiten und dabei erleben, welchen Einfluss diese enge Kollaboration in diesem Kontext und in Kombination mit der geschriebenen Vision und der Anforderung auf den Erfolg hat.
In a world where the there is no perfect visualisation, WiP limit, policy or measures? A good choice depends on the context. There aren't only one answer, but in my experience good questions could help to guide to your answer.
Is your organisation reaping the possible benefits of scaling agile? Ralf Kruse
Many organisations introduce agile and do not get what was promised: customers delighted by frequent releases of value, passionate employees, happily swarming on challenging problems... What is missing?
This provocative talk will enable you to ask the right questions to find the right answers for your organisation. You won't get to the top by copying others.
Agile, especially at scale, is a huge chance for your organisation and its people to thrive. Does this sound like your company?

Games become more and more important to help people understand the underlying mindset. They help us try new things and experiment in a safe environment. The question is: what makes a good agile game and how to develop one? Before we developed the game I only knew some models about how to develop them, but it was still mostly an abstract concept for me. In this session I want to tell the story of how we developed the Kanban Pizza Game.
The document describes a Kanban pizza game simulation used to help participants experience Kanban concepts in an engaging way. In the game, participants work together in a simulated pizza shop to make and deliver pizzas, earning and losing points along the way. The game is divided into rounds where different Kanban concepts like work in progress limits and visualizing workflow are introduced. Participants are given feedback on their score after each round and discuss lessons to improve their process. The overall goal is for participants to iteratively apply Kanban principles to maximize their score by optimizing their collaborative pizza production and delivery workflow.
