Why Agile?

2015 VersionOne State of Agile Survey
Why Agile?
7
Copyright 2016 Collaborative Leadership Team
• January 1986 Harvard Business Review
• Hirotaka Takeuchi & Ikujiro Nonaka
• How Toyota was getting to market faster and
more flexibly without sacrificing quality
• Teams working in the “Rugby Approach”
• Process is born out of the teams interplay
• Inspired Jeff Sutherland to create “Scrum” and
many other Agile creators
What is Scrum?
8
Copyright 2016 Collaborative Leadership Team
What is Scrum?
• Scrum is an adaptive framework for developing
and sustaining complex products
• Scrum is not a methodology nor is it specific to
software development
• Scrum is about people – working together to
deliver the highest possible value early and
often
• Scrum is lightweight, simple to understand but
difficult to master
9
Copyright 2016 Collaborative Leadership Team
“Agile”
• Scrum
• XP
• Feature Driven
Development
• Lean Software
Development
• Kanban
• Others?
When you say Agile – What do you Mean?

Agile Software Development Manifesto
We are uncovering better ways of developing software by doing it and helping
others do it.
Through this work we have come to value
Individuals and interactions over processes and tools
Working software over comprehensive documentation
Customer collaboration over contract negotiation
Responding to change over following a plan
That is, while there is value in the items on the right,
we value the items on the left more.
The Agile Manifesto

Poll Question #1
12
Copyright 2016 Collaborative Leadership Team
The ScrumMaster
• Servant Leader to Product Owner,
Development Team and Organization
• Responsible for Scrum theory, practices and
rules being understood and enacted
• Helps everyone understand which interactions
with the Scrum Team are helpful and which
ones are not to maximize business value
created by the Scrum Team
• Active Facilitator
• Neutral
13
Copyright 2016 Collaborative Leadership Team
Poll Question #2
14
Copyright 2016 Collaborative Leadership Team
“We do Scrum, but…”
• Our ScrumMaster is also the Product Owner
• ScrumMasters have 3-4 teams in our company
• We don’t have a ScrumMaster
• We don’t dedicate our teams
• There’s no Product Owner
• We don’t hold Sprint Retrospectives
• We don’t hold Sprint Reviews
15
Copyright 2016 Collaborative Leadership Team
The Scrum Guide: the rules of the game
• If your company does “Scrum, but”…they are
basically saying they are ok with not
delivering business value any faster than with
Waterfall
• When they remove the very pieces of Scrum
that make it successful at delivering more
quickly, this is a choice they are making
• The organization is basically signing up for
low performing teams and ineffective product
development
http://scrumguides.org/
16
Copyright 2016 Collaborative Leadership Team
The ScrumMaster is not a Secretary
• Coaching the Product Owner on Product
Backlog refinement does not mean being the
administrative keeper of this artifact
• Coaching the team on self-organization and
cross-functionality does not mean taking tasks
away from them
• Leading the organization in its Scrum
adoption does not mean publishing status
reports
• Every conversation isn’t led by the
ScrumMaster … including the Daily Scrum
17
Copyright 2016 Collaborative Leadership Team
The ScrumMaster is a Coach
• Scrum is different
• Traditional ways of doing work focused on utilization
and temporary endeavors called projects
• Scrum focuses on maximizing the delivery of business
value because it approaches that work holistically
• If the organization wants to continue doing work the
traditional way, but using Scrum vocabulary, whose job
is it to coach them on change?
• Coaches don’t push team members out of the way and
grab the ball away from them
• They provide feedback, observations and guidance
18
Copyright 2016 Collaborative Leadership Team
The ScrumMaster is Neutral
• ScrumMasters are neutral – they aren’t asserting
opinions about the product or the solution to create
the product
• They are focusing on outcomes, interactions which
includes non-verbal cues
• Good ScrumMasters ask questions, make
observations and provide feedback
• When ScrumMasters get into product or solution
detail, they are not serving, they are not coaching and
they are not adding value
19
Copyright 2016 Collaborative Leadership Team
Learned Helplessness
• When a ScrumMaster falls into the dysfunction of being
an administrative assistant and doing for everyone,
they are contributing to learned helplessness
• Instead of learning to do for themselves, the people
assume the S.M. will do for them and come to expect it
• This is not empowering – it removes power from the
Product Owner, the Development Team and others in
the Organization
• In order to be effective, ScrumMasters must focus on
interactions and outcomes – they lose focus on their job
when they are relegated to performing data entry
20
Copyright 2016 Collaborative Leadership Team
• If the organization is using a lot of Scrummy
vocabulary but not really doing work
differently go on a fact-finding mission
• What was the stated goal or reason to adopt
Scrum?
• Ask to do ‘intentional Scrum’ and compare the
results when really trying it to the old way of
doing work
• Would you start running a marathon without
knowing how long it is or what the goal is?
Intentional Scrum
21
Copyright 2016 Collaborative Leadership Team
Don’t Let the Words get in the Way
• That’s not Agile!
• That’s not Scrum!
• In the Real World…
• You’re doing it Wrong
• You’re not doing it
Right
• That’s an impediment
• What is the problem that
we’re trying to solve?
• In my current reality…
• In our current reality…
• We have a choice to work
the old way or try
something new
• We have an opportunity to
improve the way we work
Instead Of Try These

  • 5. “I believe in this concept but the implementation is risky and invites failure”… Dr. Winston Royce “Managing the Development of Large Software Systems” “Waterfall” 5 Copyright 2016 Collaborative Leadership Team
  • 6. Why Agile? 6 Copyright 2016 Collaborative Leadership Team
  • 7. 2015 VersionOne State of Agile Survey Why Agile? 7 Copyright 2016 Collaborative Leadership Team
  • 8. • January 1986 Harvard Business Review • Hirotaka Takeuchi & Ikujiro Nonaka • How Toyota was getting to market faster and more flexibly without sacrificing quality • Teams working in the “Rugby Approach” • Process is born out of the teams interplay • Inspired Jeff Sutherland to create “Scrum” and many other Agile creators What is Scrum? 8 Copyright 2016 Collaborative Leadership Team
  • 9. What is Scrum? • Scrum is an adaptive framework for developing and sustaining complex products • Scrum is not a methodology nor is it specific to software development • Scrum is about people – working together to deliver the highest possible value early and often • Scrum is lightweight, simple to understand but difficult to master 9 Copyright 2016 Collaborative Leadership Team
  • 10. “Agile” • Scrum • XP • Feature Driven Development • Lean Software Development • Kanban • Others? When you say Agile – What do you Mean? 10 Copyright 2016 Collaborative Leadership Team
  • 11. http://agilemanifesto.org Agile Software Development Manifesto We are uncovering better ways of developing software by doing it and helping others do it. Through this work we have come to value Individuals and interactions over processes and tools Working software over comprehensive documentation Customer collaboration over contract negotiation Responding to change over following a plan That is, while there is value in the items on the right, we value the items on the left more. The Agile Manifesto 11 Copyright 2016 Collaborative Leadership Team
  • 12. Poll Question #1 12 Copyright 2016 Collaborative Leadership Team
  • 13. The ScrumMaster • Servant Leader to Product Owner, Development Team and Organization • Responsible for Scrum theory, practices and rules being understood and enacted • Helps everyone understand which interactions with the Scrum Team are helpful and which ones are not to maximize business value created by the Scrum Team • Active Facilitator • Neutral 13 Copyright 2016 Collaborative Leadership Team
  • 14. Poll Question #2 14 Copyright 2016 Collaborative Leadership Team
  • 15. “We do Scrum, but…” • Our ScrumMaster is also the Product Owner • ScrumMasters have 3-4 teams in our company • We don’t have a ScrumMaster • We don’t dedicate our teams • There’s no Product Owner • We don’t hold Sprint Retrospectives • We don’t hold Sprint Reviews 15 Copyright 2016 Collaborative Leadership Team
  • 16. The Scrum Guide: the rules of the game • If your company does “Scrum, but”…they are basically saying they are ok with not delivering business value any faster than with Waterfall • When they remove the very pieces of Scrum that make it successful at delivering more quickly, this is a choice they are making • The organization is basically signing up for low performing teams and ineffective product development http://scrumguides.org/ 16 Copyright 2016 Collaborative Leadership Team
  • 17. The ScrumMaster is not a Secretary • Coaching the Product Owner on Product Backlog refinement does not mean being the administrative keeper of this artifact • Coaching the team on self-organization and cross-functionality does not mean taking tasks away from them • Leading the organization in its Scrum adoption does not mean publishing status reports • Every conversation isn’t led by the ScrumMaster … including the Daily Scrum 17 Copyright 2016 Collaborative Leadership Team
  • 18. The ScrumMaster is a Coach • Scrum is different • Traditional ways of doing work focused on utilization and temporary endeavors called projects • Scrum focuses on maximizing the delivery of business value because it approaches that work holistically • If the organization wants to continue doing work the traditional way, but using Scrum vocabulary, whose job is it to coach them on change? • Coaches don’t push team members out of the way and grab the ball away from them • They provide feedback, observations and guidance 18 Copyright 2016 Collaborative Leadership Team
  • 19. The ScrumMaster is Neutral • ScrumMasters are neutral – they aren’t asserting opinions about the product or the solution to create the product • They are focusing on outcomes, interactions which includes non-verbal cues • Good ScrumMasters ask questions, make observations and provide feedback • When ScrumMasters get into product or solution detail, they are not serving, they are not coaching and they are not adding value 19 Copyright 2016 Collaborative Leadership Team
  • 20. Learned Helplessness • When a ScrumMaster falls into the dysfunction of being an administrative assistant and doing for everyone, they are contributing to learned helplessness • Instead of learning to do for themselves, the people assume the S.M. will do for them and come to expect it • This is not empowering – it removes power from the Product Owner, the Development Team and others in the Organization • In order to be effective, ScrumMasters must focus on interactions and outcomes – they lose focus on their job when they are relegated to performing data entry 20 Copyright 2016 Collaborative Leadership Team
  • 21. • If the organization is using a lot of Scrummy vocabulary but not really doing work differently go on a fact-finding mission • What was the stated goal or reason to adopt Scrum? • Ask to do ‘intentional Scrum’ and compare the results when really trying it to the old way of doing work • Would you start running a marathon without knowing how long it is or what the goal is? Intentional Scrum 21 Copyright 2016 Collaborative Leadership Team
  • 22. Don’t Let the Words get in the Way • That’s not Agile! • That’s not Scrum! • In the Real World… • You’re doing it Wrong • You’re not doing it Right • That’s an impediment • What is the problem that we’re trying to solve? • In my current reality… • In our current reality… • We have a choice to work the old way or try something new • We have an opportunity to improve the way we work Instead Of Try These 22 Copyright 2016 Collaborative Leadership Team
