Scrum Day UA 2019 - The Future of Agile
- 1. “Beginning to think is beginning to be undermined.” Albert Camus - The myth of Sisyphus
- 2. 2© 2003-2019 Gunther Verheyen – Ullizee-Inc, - @Ullizee My personal compass Throughout the years I have discovered I prefer ideas and ideals over positions and titles. It made me realize I value independence and freedom of thought over corporate and commercial structures. Rather than regretting or mourning them, I aspire embracing all consequences. I don’t expect this to change in the foreseeable future.

- 4. 4© 2003-2019 Gunther Verheyen – Ullizee-Inc, - @Ullizee The reality of many organizations (disconnectedness)
- 5. 5© 2003-2019 Gunther Verheyen – Ullizee-Inc, - @Ullizee What now? “We need an Agile transformation !” We were (are) not organized for complexity
- 6. 6© 2003-2019 Gunther Verheyen – Ullizee-Inc, - @Ullizee Combined with: • Lack of team spaces • Team instability • Meeting pressure (culture) • Delivery / deadline pressure • Endless waves of lay-offs Enter the new complexity domain “Catastrophy”. The reality of many Agile transformations (an illusion)
- 7. 7© 2003-2019 Gunther Verheyen – Ullizee-Inc, - @Ullizee More Agile teams does not make a more Agile organization
- 8. 8© 2003-2019 Gunther Verheyen – Ullizee-Inc, - @Ullizee It is not a transformation if it doesn’t change how you work. It is not an Agile transformation if it doesn’t simplify how you work. It is not an Agile transformation with Scrum if it doesn’t motivate people to collaborate. (fyi. All of the above is in vain without attention to technical excellence) Three indicators to detect the illusion of agility

- 10. 10© 2003-2019 Gunther Verheyen – Ullizee-Inc, - @Ullizee What the Agile Manifesto says. It starts and ends with… people “Build projects around motivated individuals. Give them the environment and support they need, and trust them to get the job done.”
- 11. 11© 2003-2019 Gunther Verheyen – Ullizee-Inc, - @Ullizee Premises to an Agile transformation People are naturally Agile (adaptive). Process follows people. Structure follows process.
- 12. 12© 2003-2019 Gunther Verheyen – Ullizee-Inc, - @Ullizee Re-imagine your Scrum to anchor your agility • Select a (1) meaningful initiative (project/product/service) – Slice if too BIG • Re-imagine your Scrum for the selected initiative/slice: – Use Product Backlog as the single plan – Reset your accountabilities: • Product Owner • Scrum Master • Development Team(s) – Facilitate with tools, infrastructure and a (Scrum) team zone • Create sashimi releases – Through a controlled and automated deployment pipeline Repeat
- 13. 13© 2003-2019 Gunther Verheyen – Ullizee-Inc, - @Ullizee • Self-organization is more constrained by an organization than by people’s intrinsic abilities • Scrum provides boundaries for self- organization to be more effective – Accountabilities and minimal rules – Time-boxing – Releasable Increments • Self-organization works better against goals – Organizational purpose and mission – Product Vision – Sprint Goal Along the road: consider ‘self-organization’
- 14. 15© 2003-2019 Gunther Verheyen – Ullizee-Inc, - @Ullizee The future of Agile, actually, is in the small

Editor's Notes

- “Re-vers-ify (Re-imagining your Scrum to re-emerge your organization)" Agility is why organizations adopt Scrum. The Agility an organization demonstrates outward is not just a result of their product delivery process, but also a function of its internal structures. Scrum is often twisted to fit old processes and structures, and its potential for deep improvement and creating a future-proof organization is lost. Gunther helps organizations re-imagine their Scrum to re-emerge their organizational structures, and thus increase their agility. Gunther consolidated over a decade of experience, ideas, beliefs and observations of Scrum in re.vers.ify. Re.vers.ify is an act of simplicity, rhythm and focus. It is a narrative showing a path, rather than predicting an outcome.

- Gunther Verheyen (gunther.verheyen@mac.com) is a longtime Scrum practitioner (2003). After a standing career as a consultant, he became partner to Ken Schwaber, co-creator of Scrum, and Director of the Professional Scrum series at Scrum.org (2013-2016). Gunther nowadays engages with people and organizations as an independent Scrum Caretaker. Gunther ventured into IT and software development after graduating in 1992. His Agile journey started with eXtreme Programming and Scrum in 2003. Years of dedication followed, years of employing Scrum in diverse circumstances. As from 2010 Gunther became the inspiring force behind some large-scale enterprise transformations. In 2011 he became a Professional Scrum Trainer. Gunther left consulting in 2013 to found Ullizee-Inc and partner exclusively with Ken Schwaber, Scrum co-creator. He represented Ken and his organization Scrum.org in Europe, shepherded the ‘Professional Scrum’ series and guided Scrum.org’s global network of Professional Scrum Trainers. Gunther is co-creator to Agility Path, EBMgtTM (Evidence-Based Managing of Software) and the Nexus framework for Scaled Professional Scrum. Since 2016 Gunther continues his journey as an independent Scrum Caretaker; a connector, writer, speaker, humanizer. His services build on 15+ years of experience, ideas, beliefs and observations of Scrum, expressed in re.vers.ify, an act of people re-imagining their Scrum to re-emerge their organization. Gunther created the acclaimed book “Scrum – A Pocket Guide” in 2013, with a second edition published in 2019. Ken Schwaber recommends his book as ‘the best description of Scrum currently available’ and ‘extraordinarily competent’. In 2016 the Dutch translation was published as “Scrum Wegwijzer“. In 2017 the German translation was released as “Scrum Taschenbuch”. Other translations are planned for 2019. When not travelling for Scrum and professionalism, Gunther lives and works in Antwerp (Belgium). More?
