Looking at Agile, it is so simple. In fact Agile is just structured common sense. Still so many people struggle to get their success in Agile. What is going on? The point is Agile, with all its simplicity, is based on different paradigms and the old paradigms hinder. The question is, can you identify thew old paradigms and furthermore, how do you change them. Arie van Bennekum will take you in his talk on his 22 years Agile journey and share his experience, successes, his delta’s and IATM, the Integrated Agile Transformation Model he developed for Agile transformations. IATM is a successful Agile change process to (the next level of) Agile he and his teams use doing international Agile transformations.

4. FACTS
• NOT what the business needs
• A lot of hindering errors
• Development over budget
• Development over time
CAUSES
• Business needs = communication
• A lot of hindering errors = discipline
• Development runs over budget = efficiency
• Development of the solution over time = business value
THE HERE AND NOW
• Digital era = transformation in process or in to be started
• Agile = facilitates digital transformation
• Agile = needed to be responsive in the digital world
• Agile = has to be an integrated corporate approach

11. CREATE QUALITY BY DISCIPLINE
• Rituals
• DoD
• Respecting WIP limits

12. CREATE VALUE THROUGH FOCUS
• Want vs. needs
• Limited WIP
• Deliver frequently

13. CREATE EFFICIENCY BY
TAKING OUT REDUNDANT WORK
• Documentation
• Maximising work not done

14. Valueindividuals andinteraction

15. Agile Manifesto
We follow these principles:
Our highest priority is to satisfy the customer through early and continuous
delivery of valuable software.
Welcome changing requirements, even late in development. Agile processes
harness change for the customer's competitive advantage.
Deliver working software frequently, from a couple of weeks to a couple of
months, with a preference to the shorter timescale.
Business people and developers must work together daily throughout the project.
Build projects around motivated individuals. Give them the environment and
support they need, and trust them to get the job done.

16. The most efficient and effective method of conveying information to and
within a development team is face-to-face conversation.
Working software is the primary measure of progress.
Agile processes promote sustainable development. The sponsors, developers,
and users should be able to maintain a constant pace indefinitely.
Continuous attention to technical excellence and good design enhances
agility.
Simplicity--the art of maximizing the amount of work not done--is essential.
The best architectures, requirements, and designs emerge from self-
organizing teams.
At regular intervals, the team reflects on how to become more effective, then
tunes and adjusts its behavior accordingly.

17. AN INTERACTION CONCEPT
• Stay in touch
• Transparancy is the carrier
• Technique is the facilitator
• Replace paradigms for a new metabolism
• Technology can make you excel

18. SOME PARADIGMS
• Documentation vs MS-Word
• Reporting format vs old paterns
• Regular job evaluation
• Identity crisi
• Individual task vs team responsibility
• Requirements thinking vs objectives
• Maximising work not done vs silo’s
• Limiting WIP vs “it’s important”
• “It’s a must”
• Integrated testing vs. silo’s
• Directing people vs trust
• “You know what I want”
