This document discusses concepts related to agile, lean, scrum, and compound interest. It begins by providing background on Toyota's adoption of lean principles after facing bankruptcy, laying off most workers. This led to an approach where all workers were expected to think critically. The document then draws parallels between lean concepts like PDCA cycles and scrum ceremonies like planning and retrospectives. It argues that more thinkers and scrum teams means more opportunities for learning through iterative cycles. Finally, it notes that while money and value are different, value can be measured through metrics like customer satisfaction rather than solely financial metrics.

Buying TA technology can be complex and often daunting.
We feel ya.
For this special occasion, we're pulling out our "Short-List of Things That Annoy the Heck Out Of Us When Trying to Find TA Tech."
Long title, yes, but it fits.
Variety of tools.
Infinite categories of tools.
Burning bridges TA Leaders face on a near-daily basis.
An explosion of solution providers.
Over-marketing of tools.
Sound familiar? We thought so.
As a buyer, you need a way to approach the market and find the right tools at the right time.

B. den Haak. How to make OKRs Lean AgainAgile Lietuva
OKRs are a goal-setting, strategy execution tool that involves setting ambitious goals that lead to measurable results. The thing is, over the years, OKRs have gotten too complicated - they need to be put on a diet - and that’s where Lean OKRs step in. They are hyper-focused on one single OKR to rule all others. Often, OKRs are not set up for success and thus tossed aside.
There are four (and a half) common reasons why your OKRs aren’t working. Among them, the importance of finding a rhythm for making OKRs part of your way of working, leading teams with trust, and getting the foundation in place so teams aren’t running before they learn how to walk.

Deck of slides from session about Fusing the Agile Testing into an Agile Team at the Agile Testing and Test Automation Summit 2016 (Melbourne on 08th September)
The book 'Learning to See' helps you create a shared picture of delivering customer value. The follow-on book 'Toyota Kata Culture' shows you how to get there.
The "Toyota Kata at University" website (http://polesante.hec.ca/TKatUniversity) is for educators interested in using Toyota Kata to teach scientific thinking, at the undergraduate, graduate and community college levels; in business schools, engineering, law, healthcare, etc. The site provides teaching materials from existing courses that are freely downloadable and can be used and modified without permission.
You can add your own Toyota Kata teaching materials to the site by emailing TKatUniversity@hec.ca.
Yuval Yeret is a practicing Agile and Kanban consultant/coach for AgileSparks in Herzelyia, Israel. He coaches individuals and organization in their path to Agility and Engineering excellence, focusing on Scrum, Lean, and Agile Engineering practice.
Minimum Viable Agile is a search for Agile practices and ceremonies, informed by Lean and Agile theory, that produces the maximum amount of customer value, with the least amount of effort.
(Or Just Enough practices and ceremonies to be effective).
On the 20th Anniversary of the book "Learning to See" Mike Rother and Jeff Liker reflect on what they've learned about turning value stream maps into reality. In the community of Toyota Kata practitioners, VSM has evolved to fill a particular role (as described in this SlideShare) rather than being a thing unto itself. TK practitioners tend to use VSM *within* the context of a way of striving for goals - i.e., within TK's scientific way of working and thinking.

How To Optimize Your Tech Recruiting Stack
Patrick Christell, Senior Sourcer at Hire4ce, meets all the qualifications of “MASTER.”
We’re talking a Full-Lifecycle Recruiter, Project Manager and Agile sourcing pod-builder with seven-plus years of progressive experience recruiting for technology companies across the boards.
He also has a rather impressive tech stack, which is what this is all about.
Patrick is here to give you 60-minutes of training and live Q&A that will help you learn to recruit top talent.
In this webinar we will cover:
- How to search.
Tools like Hiretual, Seekout, AmazingHiring (and their plusses and minuses).
The difference between searching for senior-level engineers, how to know if you are on a purple squirrel hunt, and what to with a BONUS live demo that iterates a single string.
- How to run a sourcing pod.
Learn how Patrick creates his own CRM that can do outreach and reporting
- How to understand tech without being a techie.
What a software stack even is, understanding how it fits together, learning what each part of the stack technologies are associated with.
- How to engage talent.
Why a mixture of broad spectrum outreach and personalized outreach is best.
What cadence works best in 2019.
Why only using inmails screws you, and how to leverage the phone even if you hate using it (TextNow).
Nobody’s got time for a floppy stack.
Let Patrick show you how to build in functionality and results.

You're smart. You deliver. What more could your company want from you? Why don’t they come to you for the big technical decisions? Why won’t they listen to your proposals? It seems like everyone has an agenda and they’re doing everything they can to kill your great ideas.
We focus on the soft skills that architects need to master. Learning these skills will boost your emotional intelligence and help you become a more professional, well rounded contributor. You’ll gain insight into the architect’s role as leader, influencer, and business professional and learn how to leverage your position to become a positive force within your organization.
Session 1: Mastering the Soft Skills
In this session, we’ll discuss key interpersonal skills and how they can affect your projects and career. We cover how to positively connect with humans, how to participate in and influence the business processes you support, and how to transcend your technical role and maximize your connections with all members of your organization.
Session 2: Organizational Dynamics
This session examines the dynamic nature of large organizations – their structures, decision making processes, and political landscapes. We’ll discuss the goals of key business and technical decision makers and their influence on architects and software projects. We’ll conclude with some strategies for maximizing the soft skills from Session 1 to ensure successful outcomes for your projects and career.
The Kanban Policy Game is a fun way to experience how policies affect performance. In the game you are hired as a coach to lead an Agile transformation. To achieve success, you have to improve the performance of the teams in the client organization in terms of lead time and throughput. As Kanban method practitioner you decide to introduce and apply the six Kanban practices.
This presentation was developed for UBC Engineering Physics project lab students.
What's new in this version is I introduce myself via a Pecha Kucha video.
I first ask the question. "What is Entrepreneurship?"
I follow-up with my favorite definition of a business.
Then I address the questions:
* What is the journey like?
* What is the process?
* How do I learn about customers?
* How do I keep score?
I focus on 5 Points — Purpose, You, Process, Customers, and Scorecard.
Purpose » Drucker’s Purpose of Business,
You » Martin’s Knowledge Funnel + Soft-Skills,
Process » Blank’s Customer Development,
Customers » Moore’s Crossing the Chasm + Product/Service Journey Sketch,
Scorecard » Osterwalder’s Business Model Canvas.

Startup Playbook for founders & employees, written by Toucan's founders (2021)Toucan Toco
As a founder or startup employee do you find your 24 hours-a-day too short ?
After 5 years growing Toucan Toco we do too.
In the end there is only one solution : prioritize !
“But what should I focus on when we are 2 founders in a garage ? A 10 people team with no fundings ? A structured team of 50 ?
I heard about OKR, 360 Reviews, Squads, BSPCE, Wiki, core values… But what should I do in the next weeks among those actions, process and strategies ?”
To help you answer these questions, we’ve created an easily consumable documentation, full of ressources, to share our learnings and documentation efforts.
Looking for the right process at the right stage ? This slideshare is for you.
• Where should you start with strategic planning?
• What's the difference between Vision, Mission, and Goals?
• Should we decide fast or slow? (It's probably not what you think)
+ Plus more frameworks for thinking that will help you DISCOVER and EXECUTE on what makes you unique.
This presentation is based on a business startup training that I gave in September 2020.
Every day we move through dozens of spaces and places. We participate in lots of inter-personal interactions, conversations and (god help us) meetings. And we spend bursts of time working alone. But how much awareness do we bring to the spaces and places we inhabit while we're in them? How much intentionality do we bring to our inter-personal exchanges? How much creativity do we foster in our own solo working situations?
Often, not nearly enough. Focus is limited, attention is split, and opportunities are lost. This session will explore purpose-driven approaches to the places, people and situations we encounter every day. With an emphasis on how to be truly engaged in where we are, mindful of what we're doing and focused on helping creativity flourish.

The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.

104. Money and Value
Money ≠ Value
Value can be expressed by:
Business Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
Customer relationship metrics (NPS, engagement, …)
Other metrics… happiness metric ?
108. Compound Knowledge
𝑨 = 𝑷 × ( 𝟏 + 𝒓 ) 𝒕
Simplified (n=1)
A = Future Value accumulated after t sprints
P = Present Value (of the product/process)
r = Nominal Improvement rate (%)
t = Number of sprints to compound

113. Going back to Lean & Scrum
Lean & Scrum are made by Thinkers!
PDCAs and Sprints are empirical iteration processes!
Learn by doing!
And only by learning a lot…
…your organizational knowledge is increased!
114. Going back to Lean & Scrum
Both Lean & Scrum have deliverables!
And only by delivering your process/product is improved!
You can deliver with an high or low frequency!
You can also deliver high our low value improvements!
This is what we call the Improvement rate (per delivery).
115. Going back to Lean & Scrum
The Improvement rate is, therefore, a function of:
Team’s iteration (learning) cycle, the shorter the better.
Team’s delivery (compounding) cycle, the shorter the better.
Team’s interaction frequency & quality with the customer.
Team’s (compounded) knowledge over time
118. A Simple Example
Your 2 ecommerce sites’ monthly sales are $30,000/site.
You want to improve it
You assemble 2 Scrum Teams, 1 per site…
… and gave them a KPI to improve over 40 weeks:
Gross Transaction Value (GTV)
119. A Simple Example
Team A decides:
Iteration cycle = 2 weeks
Delivery cycle = once every iteration
120. A Simple Example
Team B decides:
Iteration cycle = 1 week
Delivery cycle = once every iteration
122. Summing up
Our experiments on the field, highlighted these 2 properties of an Agile
Ecosystem, hence, no matter what you do or how you do it, just:
Iterate & Interact
to unleash…
The Power of I(n)teration
