Creating Great Teams - How Self-Selection Lets People Excel
•
7 likes•2,575 views
Here’s a radical idea: Trust people to know best and let them decide which team they should work in. Let them Self-Select! Self-selection is the simplest, fastest and most efficient way to form stable teams, based on the belief that people are at their happiest and most productive if they can choose what they work on and who they work with. In October 2013, Trade Me, New Zealand’s largest eCommerce provider ran the biggest Self-Selection event in the world since WWII, using a process which has since been repeated many times in multiple locations across the world. In this presentation I will share my learnings and experiences from more than four years of running Self-Selection processes in large organisations. I will show you a repeatable process for how to establish efficient teams in growing organisations and will answer questions such as “Why would I do that”? and “How can I convince management?”.

Scaling collaboration in a big retailer with lean startup experiementation, agile frameworks, design thinking and facilitation techniquesThe simple (not easy) recipe of mutual trust for teams
Slides of my talk at Scan-Agile 2017.
We need safety and trust to grow an innovative, effective and resilient team. But how is that done in practice? In my talk I will describe this model of growing team’s safety and mutual trust with real life examples as well as theory. I will also describe common dysfunctions and antipatterns.
This session is for scrum masters, coaches, managers and team members who want to help their teams to improve in communication and teamwork, especially in working with individuals to help them grow and to interact with their team members in ways that enhances and not erodes safety and trust. And how to do that yourself too, as a leader.
The Self Selecting Organisation - Total Squadification at Trade Me
Inspired by Spotify's squads and Atlassian's Fedex day we let 90 people choose what they wanted to work on and who they wanted to work with. Through telling the story of Trade Me, New Zealand's biggest ecommerce platform, we will demonstrate how good leadership can inspire and empower people using a scalable self-selection process along with a vision for an exciting picture of the future.
Flying in the face of conventional wisdom and traditional management practices a middle manager and an Agile coach didn't ask for permission, and removed significant obstacles and constraints to successfully form 18 self-chosen, fully skilled squads. In this session we will show how we facilitated self-organisation on a scale we don't believe has been done before, what we had to go through to convince people that this was a good idea, how we learned how to visualise the process and dealt with brilliant people as well as a few difficult ones!
We will describe how we had the exciting opportunity to observe and partake in a social experiment where people made decisions on the fly and stayed true to our values of being trusted, straight up and to grow great people.
All Agile teams self-organise but we took the principles to a whole other level and created the self-organising organisation.
How to find the real need with socratic questioning
A common piece of advice is that your team should discover the true need of your project. Unfortunately advice on how to make that happen isn't as prevalent. In this session you'll have a chance to practice a simple technique to get to the core of what your stakeholders need that has been around for over 2000 years - Socratic questioning.
Join Kent McDonald as he walks you through a technique aimed at uncovering the (not intentionally) hidden need that your stakeholders are trying to satisfy, without asking "why?" five times in a row. Kent describes the questions, why they work and in what context they work based on his experience with IT organizations and the Agile Alliance. You'll then have a chance to practice them out to find out about a real project.
The line of questioning was inspired by Brennan Dunn who uses them to understand the true needs of his web development consultants.
Come learn about and practice this technique so you can use it back at the office to drive toward the right outcome.

Agile Leadership: Accelerating Business Agility - Context
The "one size fits all" approach to Project Leadership is inherently flawed. Practitioners have found that the two primary attributes of uncertainty and complexity of a project provide guidance to effective project leadership and governance. Complexity includes project composition such as team size and criticality, while uncertainty includes both market and technical uncertainty. The approach and leadership style required for a simple, stable project is quite different than what is required for highly uncertain, highly complex projects. This session demonstrates how to use the Context Leadership Model to determine the appropriate approach and leadership style for a project based on its uncertainty and complexity.
Key Learning Points
How to assess the complexity and uncertainty characteristics of a project
How to tailor the project approach based on those characteristics
How to determine the appropriate leadership style for a project based on its characteristics
full-stack agile: Common Agile Myths
A presentation by full-stack agile on some of the myths regarding the Agile framework. There are important questions such as benefits, documentation, scalability, architecture, planning and discipline.
The evils of multi-tasking and how personal Kanban can help you
We know for a fact that multi-tasking slows us down both physically and mentally. Agile, Lean, Scrum and Kanban limit work in progress (WIP) on a team and organisational level but what about the personal space? What practices can we use as individuals to avoid multi-tasking and achieve flow?
This session will explain the research on and theory behind why multi-tasking is bad at every level and through telling the story of Snapper, New Zealand’s primary contactless payments platform, I will show how an entire organisation organically adapted Agile practices to extend from the organisational and team level to the personal and individual space and how personal Kanban in turn has influenced our organisation-wide Agile adoption.
I will demonstrate how personal Kanban works and how my colleagues and I are using it. I will show the personal Kanban boards that have popped up everywhere around the office and how everyone at Snapper and the organisation as a whole have benefitted from their use. Come along and learn how personal Kanban can help you!
This session has been part of Agile 2012 in Dallas, Texas and Agile Australia 2013 and have been very well received.
Tis better to be effective than efficient
Better. Faster. Cheaper. Many IT organizations are constantly seeking the "best" practices that will deliver those characteristics, and the fact that they continue to search indicates they haven’t found them yet.
It could be they are looking in the wrong place. Most efforts around achieving better, faster, cheaper center around becoming ultra efficient.
Effectiveness may just be the better target.
Join Kent McDonald to explore the difference between efficiency and effectiveness and learn three simple, yet powerful, techniques that he has found can help teams be more effective. You’ll learn how to:
Build a shared understanding of the problem you are trying to solve
Establish clear guard rails for distributed decision making
Measure progress based on outcome, not output
Along the way he’ll share stories about how he has used these techniques and help you figure out when these techniques may work in your situation.
You may be able to get faster and cheaper with efficiency, but in order to get better outcomes, you need to be effective. Come to this session to learn how.

Modern Agile - Keynote at Agile2016
Joshua Kerievsky's 2016 keynote speech at Agile2016. Speech abstract follows...
----
Over the past decade, innovative companies, software industry thought leaders and lean/agile pioneers have discovered simpler, sturdier, and more streamlined ways to be agile. While there is timeless wisdom in agile, today's practitioners would do well to bypass outmoded agile practices in favor of modern approaches.
Modern agile methods are defined by four guiding principles
• Make people awesome
• Make safety a prerequisite
• Experience & learn rapidly
• Deliver value continuously
World famous organizations like Google, Amazon, Air BnB, Etsy and others are living proof of the powers of these four principles. However, you don't need to be a name brand company to leverage modern agile wisdom.
In this talk, Josh will explain what he means by modern agility, share real-world modern agile stories, show how modern agile addresses key risks while targeting results over rituals, and reveal how the 2001 agile manifesto can be updated to reflect modern agile's four guiding principles.
Scaling Operations At Spotify
My talk at ServiceManagerDag in the Netherlands about Scaling Operations at Spotify. April 2015
Why Scaling Agile Doesn't Work (and What to Do About It)
There are now several frameworks designed to address the demand for "big agile."
In this talk Jez will explain the flaws in such frameworks, why they so often fail to produce the desired effects, and what we should do instead. He will also address some common organizational obstacles to moving fast at scale: governance, budgeting, and the project paradigm - and discuss how to address them. Warning: this talk will include liberal use of real, statistically sound data.
Value Driven Development by Dave Thomas
Agile, OOP... are like good hygiene in the kitchen, it results in meals with consistent quality and predictable prep and service times. It doesn't result in great meals nor substantially impact the ROI! Lean Thinking clearly shows that the only way to make a significant impact is to improve the value chain by improving flow. If everyone is following best practices no one has competitive advantage. Major improvements in the value chain depend on continued disruptive innovations. Innovations leverage people and their ideas. We use case studies to illustrate the different business and technical innovations and their impact. We conclude with a discussion of how to build and leverage an innovation culture versus a sprint death march when dealing with high value time to market projects.

Formando Times Memoráveis - Como a auto-seleção proporciona excelência
Aqui está uma ideia radical: confie que as pessoas saibam melhor e deixe-os decidir qual equipe eles devem trabalhar. Deixe que eles mesmos escolham!
A auto-seleção é a maneira mais simples, mais rápida e eficiente para formar equipes estáveis, baseada na crença de que as pessoas ficam mais feliz e mais produtivas se elas podem escolher o que elas querem trabalhar e com quem trabalham.
Vou compartilhar nossos aprendizados e experiências de mais de dois anos de execução de processos de auto-seleção em grandes organizações. Irei mostrar um processo possível de ser reproduzido para saber como criar equipas eficientes em organizações em crescimento e irei responder a perguntas como "Por que que eu faria isso? " e "Como posso convencer a gerência?".
Portfolio Kanban - Seeing the Big Picture
Doing too many things at once can slow an entire organisation down. As every successful organisation will have more great ideas than they have capacity to build, it is tempting to start too many of them at the same time. However, too many projects in progress will slow down delivery of each and every one of them.
So, how can we make sure we work to our organisational capacity and don’t try to do too much? How do we make sure we’re working on the important and not just the urgent stuff? This is where Portfolio Kanban can help: In this session we will explore how Portfolio Kanban can help an organisation prioritise, plan and visually track its projects.
Through the example of Trade Me, New Zealand's biggest e-commerce site, I will demonstrate the practical application of Portfolio Kanban. I will explore how Trade Me have benefitted from the increased visibility and reduced work in progress, and how they are using Portfolio Kanban to direct the organisation’s Agile teams. Come along and enjoy tales of our successes, challenges and struggles on our (still continuing) journey towards awesome portfolio management.
Flexing your Agile Muscle - Agile Technical Concepts Explained
Continuous integration, acceptance test driven development (ATDD), specification by example and continuous deployment: The list of have-to-know concepts is growing and you have this nagging feeling that you should really get started so you won’t miss out on the fun.
Learn what basic Agile technical concepts mean, understand how you can benefit from using them and get ideas for how you might get started. Also, you will be able to explain to your boss or project manager why Agile technical concepts are well worth the investment.
This session will keep things on a strictly conceptual level - so whether you’re a developer or an interested manager please come along.
User Stories: Stories for Grown-Ups
Douglas Talbot & Sandy Mamoli
One of the most fundamental problems facing a project is how you decide on, document, and manage your requirements.
Obviously Agile software development promotes handling this very differently than a Waterfall approach. One mechanism used by Agile projects to track requirements is the "User Story" - but what are they, how are they created, who uses them, when and how, within the development cycle?
User experience vs. agile development
Combining agile and IA/design is one of the most difficult challenges. Agile methods such as SCRUM and XP say absolutely nothing about the IA and design process. IA/design are usually driven by a holistic approach which is troublesome to combine with the iterative and incremental nature of agile software development. How can we overcome the problems and work together constructively?

Case Analysis - The Sky is the Limit | Principles of Management
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.
