Patterns for preparing a Feature Backlog for PI Planning for an Agile Release Train.
Presentation by Em Campbell-Pretty & Adrienne Wilson at the Global SAFe Summit 2021
Mob Programming thought leader, Woody Zuill, suggests that instead of always focusing on solving problems, we also take the time to notice the things that are going well and amplify them, thereby "turning up the good". When it comes to SAFe Dean Leffingwell perhaps said it best: "There is no magic in SAFe . . . except maybe for PI Planning." I suspect most of you agree that PI Planning is the magic in SAFe. There is nothing quite like the energy created by bringing a group of 100+ people together to build a collaborative plan over a couple of days every 10 to 12 weeks. So what would it mean to "turn up the good in PI Planning"? If we focused on what is good and what we want more of, would we get more magic?! For Em and Adrienne, the answer is a resounding "Yes!" In this session, they will take the "The Facilitator’s Guide to PI Planning" and illustrate how turning up the good can bring your PI Planning magic to the next level.
Why transform to Agile? What are the impediments to Agile Transformation? How to plan the Agile transformation? How to accelerate and sustain the Agile Transformation.

Exploring Agile Transformation and Scaling PatternsMike Cottmeyer
The goal of any enterprise agile adoption strategy is NOT to adopt agile. Companies adopt agile to achieve better business outcomes. Large organizations have no time for dogma and one-size-fits-all thinking when it comes to introducing agile practices. These companies need pragmatic guidance for safely and incrementally introducing structure, principles, and ultimately practices that will result in greater long term, sustainable business results. This talk will introduce a framework for safely, pragmatically, and incrementally introducing agile to help you achieve your business goals.
Presenter:
Dr. Gail Ferreira, Agile Practice Leader, MATRIX Resources, San Francisco Center of Excellence
Rapid scale directly impacts all levels of decision-making, planning, execution, culture, and communications for executives in hypergrowth companies. In this session, we will discuss how to organize, support, and tailor agile practices for teams and sub-teams in companies with a rapid growth cycle. We will share contemporary case studies of hypergrowth companies who have delivered agile at scale.
Topics will include:
• Basic agile and lean methods
• Scrum of Scrums
• SAFe
• Disciplined Agile Delivery (DAD)
• Agility at Scale (Ambler/Lines)
• Spotify model (Tribes, Squads, Chapters & Guilds, DSDM).
System of Delivery: An Intro to Our Governance ModelLeadingAgile
Our governance model and team design may look a little complicated at first glance. However, there's a lot of intentionality within our system of delivery to ensure that you're solving the right problems, at the right time, to maximize throughput and the value delivered to your customers.
In this video, our Chief Methodologist, Dennis Stevens will remove the noise and walk you through our governance model and team design to help you better understand the LeadingAgile system of delivery.

Leading a large-scale agile transformation isn’t about adopting a new set of attitudes, processes, and behaviors at the team level… it’s about helping your company deliver faster to market, and developing the ability to respond to a rapidly-changing competitive landscape. First and foremost, it’s about achieving business agility. Business agility comes from people having clarity of purpose, a willingness to be held accountable, and the ability to achieve measurable outcomes. Unfortunately, almost everything in modern organizations gets in the way of teams acting with any sort of autonomy. In most companies, achieving business agility requires significant organizational change. Join @Mike Cottmeyer live from #Agile2017 during this workshop.

Team Topologies in action - early results from industry - DOES London Virtual...Matthew Skelton
A talk given at DevOps Enterprise Summit Virtual 2020
---
Since the book Team Topologies was published in 2019, organizations around the world have started to adopt Team Topologies principles and practices like Stream-aligned teams, modern platforms, well-defined team interactions, and team cognitive load as a key driver for fast software delivery and operations.
We will look at examples from these organizations:
* Gjensidige Insurance, a leading Nordic insurance company with 4000 employees and business in the Nordic and Baltic countries, uses the four fundamental team types to clarify team responsibilities and interactions and is moving towards several “thinnest viable platforms” with Stream-aligned teams as internal customers
* PureGym is Britain’s largest gym chain - the first to gain over 1 million members. As PureGym expanded, so did the need for software to enable their members to book and manage gym sessions. Since 2019, PureGym has re-aligned its teams and team interactions based on Team Topologies patterns, helping to scale the engineering teams and improve flow.
* uSwitch / RVU, one of the UK’s leading consumer price comparison websites, has grown a modern platform from scratch, allowing stream-aligned teams to focus on consumers needs, offloading infrastructure provisioning concerns to the platform which also provides cross-cutting services around scalability, security and data management
* Visma is one of the leading software development companies in Europe with nearly 1 million customers in 21 countries. Team Topologies has helped to define and accelerate a transformation begun in 2015 to improve service ownership and speed of changes.
* Wealth Wizards is a UK company making financial advice affordable and accessible to everyone through online tools and apps. The engineering division at Wealth Wizards has used the Team Topologies ideas around team cognitive load to help right-size their teams and align teams to the most important flows of business change.
For each of these examples, we explore how the ideas and patterns in Team Topologies were useful to the organization and the results of the changes.

Agile IT Operatinos - Getting to Daily ReleasesLeadingAgile
Getting to Daily Releases with Agile IT Operations. Devin Hedge, Enterprise Transformation Consultant talks to a group at Triagile about the Six Key Areas to focus on when attempting to transform IT Operations with Lean and Agile principles. The talk covers Service Engineering, IT Operations, and the Tier 1 Support/NOC organizations. Kanban, Service Management (ITSM), and what it means to have a DevOps orientation.
Rick Austin - Portfolio mangement in an agile world [Agile DC]LeadingAgile
When organizations move to agile for software delivery, there is often tension with traditional portfolio management. This talk will illustrate how an organization can move from traditional portfolio management approaches to one that embraces agile software delivery. Doing so enables organizations to become predictable, improve the flow of value delivered, and pivot more quickly if necessary.
We will demonstrate the use of governance that allows a more adaptive portfolio management approach. We will cover topics that enable agile portfolio management including:
Lean techniques for managing flow
Effective prioritization techniques
Long range road-mapping
Demand management and planning
Progressively elaborated business cases
Validation of outcomes
Support for audit and compliance needs
These topics will be illustrated by real-world examples of portfolio management that have been proven over the last five years with a wide range of clients.

Lean Portfolio Strategy Part 2: Shifting from Imitation to Real LPM - The Mov...Cprime
Download the associated webinar: https://www.cprime.com/resource/webinars/lean-portfolio-strategy-part-2-shifting-from-imitation-to-real-lpm-the-move-to-true-value-streams/
Lean Portfolio Management (LPM) is touted as a world-changing paradigm. A shift that promises to boost productivity, time to market, quality, customer satisfaction, revenue, and a host of other vital business metrics. It promises to transform the organization to a leaner, more agile version of itself, primed to innovate effortlessly and outperform its competition at every turn.
Most organizations who have tried to establish LPM find the reality to be more nuanced than that. These companies end up implementing “Imitation LPM” where actions and some process changes may be in place and functioning, but the real promise of LPM- the increased agility and reduced waste- is not occurring.
Real LPM assumes that work is funded by value streams with teams organized around delivery of products and services that are valuable to customers. This is, perhaps, the hardest part of implementing LPM.
In part 1 of this webinar we explored how signs of imitation LPM show up in an organization’s approach to strategy. In this second of our series, we join Michiko Quinones (Jira Align Consultant) and Jean Dahl (General Manager, Scaled Agility) to explore:
- How to organize around value streams
- Real world examples of organizations who have successfully shifted from imitation value streams to true value streams
- The impact to funding and budgeting cycles
What is the best Agile Adoption or Agile Transformation organization and team structure and the talent needed to successfully implement Agile across the company? Is there a best approach?
Behind every great product is a great team doing work in a way that guarantees results. They are following a roadmap from the starting point to the end product. But a product roadmap can be elusive. This talk addresses why it is important and presents an approach to make one.

Migrating off legacy platforms while still delivering value - DNA & SAFe AU...Em Campbell-Pretty
Many organisations have been on legacy, business critical platforms far longer than they would have liked or want to be. Many organisations faced with the massive transition are tempted to revert to a waterfall approach to accomplish the mission. This talk will outline ways to move from the existing platform to the new architecture in an incremental way.
Learning Objectives:
1. Use the business Roadmap and Architectural Runway to understand how to incrementally move to a new technology platform
2. Define the business outcomes and align the migration effort to deliver those outcomes incrementally Learning Objective
2. Apply DevOps considerations from the beginning to help size and shape the total migration effort

Presentation at the SAFe Summit 2022.
PI Planning is in the bag and the train has left the station, at last, you can relax. Or so you thought…. The first iteration is fairly quiet, the second seems smooth as well and then it happens, without warning you are over halfway through the PI and your train has derailed without any warning. How did this happen?! You held all the PI Execution events as described in the textbook but your train looks like it won't be delivering the cargo to the next station on time. What else could you have done?
What if you applied the Extreme Programming mantra to PI Execution, by taking proven good SAFe practices and then took them to the extreme or as we say turn up the good?
In this long-awaiting sequel to their 2021 SAFe Summit session about “Turning up the magic in PI Planning”, Em & Adrienne will show you how they take PI Execution to the next level by turning up the flow.
Learning outcomes:
- Recognise how the SAFe Principles can be applied to “turn up the flow” in SAFe PI Execution.
- Adapt the batch size of SAFe PI Execution Events to improve flow.
- Introduce new PI Execution patterns that enable greater flow.
Getting SEO done - Why thinking agile is the best SEO skill in 2020 - SEOday ...Charlie Williams
In this talk at SEOday in January 2020, I spoke to the audience about how the best SEO (& content strategy) skill isn't a coding language, keyword research technique or digital PR tactic. It's the ability to get your SEO recommendations actually put in place. To have a mindset of constant improvement & working towards a 'perfect' website - something that's not achievable, but gets you in the right mindset.
Tips for would-be founders, technical or non-technical, before rolling up their sleeves and develop their products! From various ways of "pretotyping" to accurately gauge target customer's response, lean method, minimum viable product, feature selection, planning a product with robust data cycle, coping with delays, and guiding a team of rockstar engineers to build the right product and build the product right. Some personal experienced shared at the end as case studies.
Navigating the Inner and Outer Loops - Effective Office 365 CommunicationsChristian Buckley
General session presented at the European SharePoint, Office 365, and Azure Conference 2018 (#ESPC18) in Copenhagen, Denmark. This session discusses the primary reason that collaboration and communication fails within the enterprise (a lack of alignment between culture and technology) and presents tools and best practices for bridging this gap for more effective collaboration and communication -- and making a lasting impact to your organization.
Measuring What Matters - Building Valuable, Effective & Efficient ReportingRick Galan
The talking points to the presentation are on the Notes tab.
This presentation was given at the Salt Lake City Search Engine Marketing Digital Marketing Conference (#slcsem) in August 2015. In it, I don't talk about KPIs, or the specific metrics that you should be measuring. Instead, I focus on what I have found to be really important - Building reporting that you can use, and building relationships so your reporting has value. I also discuss how building a report is like building a product. Then I finish off with some quick tips on making your reports better.
This is the story of how we doubled the conversion rate on HubSpot.com, by leveraging a lean design process that's focused on rapid iteration and objectivity. Get an in-depth look at our distinctive UX process and how we've applied it at a public company with over 1,600 employees across 7 global offices. See exactly how it works and walk through every step of a real project, where we redesigned HubSpot.com in a period of less than 3 months. See the results, both quantitatively and qualitatively, and how we achieved them. Walk away with all of the information that you need to apply a similar process at your company. This isn’t another abstract process talk; it’s a hands-on session with actionable learnings and take-aways, backed up by data and a well-documented case study.

Agile2016: Stop Using Agile with Waterfall Goals: Goal Agility with OKR Felipe Castro
Slides from my talk during Agile2016. Although we have been using Agile mindset and processes tactically, when it comes to strategy and goal setting the waterfall command&control mindset is still the norm.
Most organizations are still using an annual, waterfall, top-down process to create a static set of goals that conflicts directly with Agile.
This talk shows how to define agile goals using OKR (Objectives and Key Results), the goal setting framework adopted by Google, Twitter, LinkedIn and Dropbox.
Nobody works alone in a vacuum, and successful work hinges on how well a team communicates and collaborates with each other. This talk will explore many methods, tools, and techniques teams use to produce great web experiences. How do front-end development teams make sure they write clean and consistent code together? How do designers ensure colors, typography, and other design elements are used correctly? What deliverables should be created in an effective web design process? How are decisions communicated with the team, stakeholders, and the broader organization? There are no “right” answers to these questions, but this talk will cover some important principles and helpful tactics to help your team make great work together.
To Estimate or Not to Estimate, is that the Question?TechWell
Wondering what NoEstimates means in practice, or why you would want to move toward NoEstimates? Perhaps you’ve heard the buzz or read Vasco Duarte’s book. Maybe you simply want to understand how you can spend less time estimating and more time delivering working software—all while providing your customers with some understanding of predictability. If so, Matthew Phillip will help you understand through lessons learned with NoEstimates what and to what degree different factors influence delivery time. Join Matthew to learn how to move from upfront intuition-based estimates to create a data-based probabilistic forecast that provides a more reliable way to talk about when stuff will be done—and expend less effort to do so. Learn to forecast when things will be done -- with less effort and more accuracy!
DevOps - A catalyst to enterprise agility - Heidi Araya & Esteban GarciaHeidi Araya
Agile and DevOps are both common buzzwords and lots of organizations are “doing” them. Implementing frameworks such as Scrum/Kanban sometimes can make changes within an area of the company, but instituting DevOps essentials such as continuous integration, continuous deployment, and continuous monitoring often require greater collaboration across teams in companies with functional structures. Find out how implementing Agile and DevOps practices at your organization can cause changes in mindsets, people, processes and tools, often leading to real organizational change and improved agility. After attending, listeners will leave with an understanding of the journeys we have seen to get there and the key drivers for a successful transformation.

Presentation at Agile Australia 2020 (December 2021!)
The foundation of a Lean-Agile organisation is Lean-Agile leadership. This is all well and good but it often requires a significant cultural shift to become a reality.
We know from Kotter’s Leading Change that to change the culture of the organisation we first have to change the habits of the organisation.
So what are the habits of effective Lean-Agile leaders? Join this session to explore the habits of effective Lean-Agile leaders, their origins in Lean/TPS/Japan and their application in today’s world.

What should you do when you have everything to lose? Be safe or be SAFe? Em Campbell-Pretty
Keynote at the Women in Agile Gathering at the Gloabl SAFe Summit on 3rd October 2019.
When you are thrown in the deep end of the pool and you don’t know how to swim, it's a scary time. As a leader, it can be easy to try a radical new idea especially when you feel you have nothing to lose. But what if you have everything to lose? Fear can be paralyzing. It is the courageous leader that ‘steps into the arena and dares to be different’.
Attend this keynote to explore how leaders can survive and thrive by letting go of everything they think they have to lose and taking a radical leap into the unknown - with or without a net!
Self-Selection: A SAFe Approach to Forming Agile Release TrainsEm Campbell-Pretty
Presented on 2nd October 2019 at the Global SAFe Summit 2019.
When it comes to shaping agile teams, many organisations use a leader decides model. The design of the teams is often a very delicate balancing act. Skills, experience, subject matter expertise and personalities all need to be factored in and the end result is often less than ideal. So, what if we took a different approach? What if we let the people who are going to be in the teams decide for themselves which mix of skills, experience, subject matter expertise and personalities are going to work best? In this session you will learn how Sandy Mamoli & David Mole's approach to self-selection (aka Squadification) has been used with SAFe to empower people to choose who they work with. This warts and all tale from the trenches will arm you to attempt your own self-selection workshop when launching or reshaping Agile Release Trains.
Learning Objectives:
Explain the value of using self-selection to create teams
Identify where the standard self-selection guidance needs to be modified for SAFe
Prepare for & facilitate a self-selection event
Is There a Place for Individuals and Interactions in Enterprise Agility?Em Campbell-Pretty
Presented at Agile2019 in Washington D.C.
Is Enterprise Agility an oxymoron? We say we value Individuals and interactions over processes and tools however, the enterprise agility space is drowning in processes and tools. There are countless frameworks and innumerable tools to measure every part of a teams performance to dizzying detail. But what about individuals and interactions? Does this get overlooked because it’s “too hard”? How does an enterprise scale an agile practice beyond a team, into a team of teams, or boldly into an entire enterprise but not lose sight of this principle?
In this session, Em & Adrienne will trade war stories with you about with Agile in the Enterprise and what role valuing Individuals and Interactions plays in successful transformations.
Learning Outcomes:
Identify Enterprise behaviours that are incongruent with valuing Individuals and Interactions, including leadership pitfalls.
Explain the economic benefit of valuing individuals and interactions
Describe the types of behaviours displayed by Enterprises that values Individuals and Interactions
Apply valuing Individuals and Interactions in an Enterprise context
Presentation by Em Campbell-Pretty & Melissa Hay at Agile 2019.
Have you ever noticed how almost every speaker at every agile conference references a ton of books? Did you ever wonder if they even read those books? And if so, how did they remember what they read? And did they take action based on what they read?
What about the last book you read? What experiments did you run whilst reading the book or after finishing it? Or can you not remember the last time you read a non-fiction book?
We all know that trust, safety, flow and product orientation are keys to success with agile teams. We are all striving for high performing teams that deliver great products. Sometimes all the blogs, books and LinkedIn posts are just too much to consume. So how can we bring these ideas into our real world?
Here’s your opportunity to see how we go about learning from books. We will share examples of books we’ve digested and experiments we have run with real teams to see them thrive. This is the insiders’ guide to making a real difference with what you learnt from all the books you said you read.

Keynote at Mile High Agile 2019.
We all go to conferences, attend meetups, read books, and subscribe to blogs. Everyday we hear new ideas but how many do we actually act on?
When you are thrown in the deep end of the pool and you don’t know how to swim – it can be a scary time.

Presentation at the Global SAFe Summit 4th October 2018.
SAFe says that effective Scrum Masters, RTE and STEs are servant leaders. This is all well and good but it often requires a significant cultural shift to become a reality. We know from Kotter’s Leading Change that to change the culture of the organisation we first have to change the habits of the organisation. So what are the habits of effective servant leaders?
In this session Em will share her learnings from 20 years as a senior manager in industry, 7 years as full time SAFe practitioner and one Lean Study Trip to Japan!

Tribal Unity: The Heart of Scaling Agile - Keynote Agile Israel 2017Em Campbell-Pretty
When it comes to agile at scale, it is necessary to think beyond a single agile team to a team of teams, or tribe. It is the culture of this team of teams that dictates its effectiveness. Which begs the question, how do you create an entire program or department that is a "great place to work"?
Based on her debut book, Tribal Unity: Getting From Teams to Tribes by Creating a One Team Culture, Em Campbell-Pretty will share the proven patterns she has been successfully applying in the field over the past five years.
Peppered with tales from the trenches this session will be full of practical ideas to help you lead a teams of agile teams towards Tribal Unity.
Presentation at Mastering SAP in Melbourne (May 2017).
People naturally form tribes. It is just what we do. When we bring together teams to work in a department, or on a program or product this team of teams will become a tribe. However, not all tribes are equally effective. Just like with regular teams it is the culture of the tribe that dictates its effectiveness.
When we look to improve the performance of these teams of teams, we often get so focused on improving technical skills and individual performance that we can easily forget to help the teams involved bond, foster a sense of belonging, shape their values and instil respect for one another. To maximise the effectiveness of any team of teams, we need to take the time to build a culture beyond the team’s individual identity to create a sense of tribal unity.

Tribal Unity Book Launch @ Agile Denver, 27th October 2016Em Campbell-Pretty
Tribal Unity: The Heart of Scaling Agile
When it comes to agile at scale, it is necessary to think beyond a single agile team to a team of teams, the whole tribe. Just like with an individual agile team it is the culture of the tribe that dictates its effectiveness. So, how do you move beyond a positive culture within a specific agile team to creating an entire program or department that is a "great place to work"?
When we start to scale agile, we tend to teach our teams about the methodology, how their roles will change and how we expect them to be collaborative. What is often forgotten is the need to help these teams of teams bond, foster a sense of belonging, shape their values and instil respect for one another. Succeeding with Agile at Scale requires explicitly creating and sustaining these attributes, building a culture beyond team’s individual identity to create a sense of Tribal Unity.
Based on her debut book, Tribal Unity: Getting From Teams to Tribes by Creating a One Team Culture (http://amzn.to/2hHT2R4), Em Campbell-Pretty will share the proven patterns she has been successfully applying in the field over the past five years. Peppered with tales from the trenches this session will be full of practical ideas to help you lead a teams of agile teams towards Tribal Unity. We may even form our own little tribe.....
What words come to mind when you think about Lean? Toyota? Six Sigma? Manufacturing? Waste? What about Leadership? Does that factor in your thinking?

In this session we will explore what it means to be a Lean Leader and the role of Leadership in supporting the house of Lean. This presentation extends well beyond theory, peppered with numerous practical real world examples of how Lean Leadership has been applied in IT. Attendees will leave this session armed with proven tools and techniques the help them on their journey to Lean Leadership.

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder
