Avoiding the Pitfalls of Capitalizing Software in an Agile WorldLeadingAgile
With the increased speed that CIOs and CTOs are moving their teams into agile environments, their financial brethren are running to catch up. Having been grounded in the days of waterfall methodologies, the financial side of the house is dealing with great uncertainty on how to account for software development costs. Questions include: Are all development costs now expensed because of the continual planning, developing and pivoting of software projects that occurs within agile? If development costs can be capitalized, what is the appropriate way to track these costs – through hours or something new altogether like story points?
We will explore how the historic accounting guidance that was developed specifically through the lens of waterfall methodologies remains applicable within agile methodologies. We will look at the alternative ways to amortize these capitalized development costs and evaluate the pros and cons of doing so. In addition to the financial reporting aspects of this presentation, we will also explore the benefits gained by moving from project-based funding to overall product–based funding and what key requirements must be in place to have that successful.
The goal of this presentation is to increase awareness among the audience that while making the decision to become agile is a business decision, this decision cannot be done in isolation. The business will eventually need the approval by their finance colleagues and if these financially grounded colleagues are not educated on the financial and accounting implications of moving to agile methodologies they may block such a move based on their misunderstandings alone. Getting everyone on the same page is a key success factor when moving to agile.
Learn how to apply Agile practices to change management and organizational development. This presentation was given at the Toronto Organizational Development Network meetup in March 2014.
What changes are needed to your PMO to allow agile projects to be successful and for your business to get the most out of Lean Thinking. These combined approaches can boost the ROI of your entire business.
As we head into a new year, one thing is for sure, the world of technology and IT will continue to evolve and be disrupted at a frightening pace. The role of the modern IT organisation will thus need to adapt and be agile in order to keep pace with this changing landscape and to continue to be valuable to the organisations that they service. As IT estates become more complex, internal IT functions will need to become more mature and efficient in the way they operate in order to be perceived as a valued asset to the business. The release of IT4IT at the end of last year provides an interesting and potentially highly valuable reference architecture for IT organisations to use to help achieve this level of maturity and efficiency.
The IT4IT standard has really started to pick up momentum as we start 2016 and it is great to see the increase in the membership of the IT4IT forum as well as the general interest that is being seen in the industry for this new standard. I recently co-presented a webinar in collaboration with the Open Group where we looked at the potential real-world application and benefits that IT4IT can offer. Mandate and mindset will be critical to the successful use of IT4IT but I am confident that this approach has the potential to be very beneficial for many organisations as the role of the IT function continues to be redefined.

Enterprise Agile Metrics: A GQM ApproachLeadingAgile
Ever feel like you're doing metrics wrong? Well, you probably are! Join us and up your game by learning the GQM approach to Agile metrics.
In Agile, there is a need to collect data to demonstrate progress and show improvement, but where does one even start? Common Agile metrics approaches do well at measuring team velocity and throughput, but can sometimes overlook the requirements of executive sponsors, product management, and other key stakeholders. This problem is often rooted in a lack of understanding about what business goals are driving decision-making throughout the organization and what questions we should be answering with the metrics we collect.
The “Goal-Question-Metric” (GQM) approach is a proven method for driving goal-oriented measures throughout a software organization. With GQM, we start by defining the goals we are trying to achieve, then ask clarifying questions around those goals, and finally answer our questions through objective metrics. By mapping business outcomes and goals to specific measures, we can form a better picture of the Agile environment and clearly demonstrate how we are doing across the span of the enterprise.
During this session, we will explore the GQM approach and show its effectiveness in identifying the key information your enterprise needs to know at the Executive, Portfolio, Program, and Delivery tiers. We will provide sample metric sets for each tier and explain the goals and questions that drove us to them. At the end of this talk, the audience will understand not only how to ask the right questions, but specifically what metrics can be used to answer them.

- What is transition management and why is it important.
- What are the common challenges to a successful outsourcing transition and how to mitigate those risks.
- What are the key components of a successful outsourcing transition and how to plan and execute each stage.
The current definition of Business Agility is as nebulous as DevOps was only a few years ago. Some schools of thought focus on different parts of the business employing agile techniques. While an important step, it proves insufficient to allow the overall business to achieve true agility.
In this session, we will explore the emerging thinking on what is Business Agility and provide concrete examples of organizations who have taken steps to successfully achieve it.
Learning Objectives:
*Define Enterprise Business Agility in a holistic fashion
*Articulate real-world examples of Business Agility
*Begin to implement aspects of Business Agility within your organization
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.
Creating a Culture of Operational Discipline that leads to Operational Excell...Wilson Perumal and Company
As the world becomes more complex, the best companies and leaders are beginning to realize that improving culture is their greatest lever for achieving Operational Excellence. Complex systems require a different kind of culture—one with a specific set of guiding principles. In order to instill these principles in your organization, it is necessary to learn what the current culture is and what people think it ought to be like, establish the guiding principles necessary to be successful, align them to every level of the organization, and develop and sustain them through committed leadership and integration into key management system processes.
Wilson Perumal & Company has a long track record of helping companies in all industries transform their cultures and dramatically improve operational results. In this Vantage Point, we will share the most important lessons we have learned through our research and experience working directly with High-Reliability Organizations (HROs) and our clients as they pursue Operational Excellence.
Introduction to Recipes for Agile Governance in the Enterprise (RAGE)Cprime
Large enterprises that develop software cannot function without structure, but often develop structures that cripple productivity and impair responsiveness to customer needs. This Webinar introduces an approach to building effective structures by introducing the concept of Agile governance.
Agile governance provides formalized practices for decision making (governance) which incorporate the principles of the Agile Manifesto and Lean Engineering. The result is a set of simple recipes for selecting, planning, organizing, and tracking work at all levels in the organization (the Portfolio, Program, and Project levels), which apply within or across Business Units. We also provide guidance on how to develop new recipes, when needed.
This webinar introduces the basic concepts of Agile governance. We will look at some existing concepts (such as Scrum of Scrums and SAFe), and lay the foundations for subsequent webinars that address specific scenarios of common interest.
Learn how an evolved PMO can bring discipline to project prioritization, track project portfolios, and provide the support teams need to embrace Agile.

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

In an IT context companies struggling to increase profits and often view IT as a necessary evil: one that consumes resources rather contributes to the bottom line. These organizations often don’t see value in data collection analysis or benchmarking either. However, IT can be a significant contributor when IT decisions are made after measuring and estimating both cost and return. IT data collection analysis and benchmarking continue to improve the cost of IT systems and help make decisions regarding where to spend money to stop the bleeding. As such, repeatable processes for estimating cost, schedule and risk will be addressed along with the “iron triangle” of software. The Iron Triangle looks at issues of cost, schedule, scope and quality and helps determine what must give when client increases scope, reduces schedule or reduces budget.
Additionally this presentation will address the risk adjusted Total Cost of Ownership and return an IT investment along with its consistency with long-range investment and business strategy of an organization measured against risk and key technical and performance parameters and technical debt.Finally, since this presentation will address the overriding business concerns: how much value does this software contribute to the business and is the best place to spend the money.

Harnessing the Atlassian Ecosystem for Agile Transformation at NextEra EnergyCprime
Watch the Webinar on Demand: https://www.cprime.com/resource/webinars/harnessing-the-atlassian-ecosystem-for-agile-transformation-at-nextera-energy/
As organizations become more Agile they benefit from increased engagement, transparency, visualization of work and predictable delivery. But that’s not always the case. Organizations that are yet to transition to the continuous funding of products and value streams are still delivering fixed business cases bound by time and estimated budgets, thereby foregoing many of the previously mentioned benefits.
In this webinar we’ll explore the agile transformation story at NextEra Energy and see how the PMO team leveraged an Atlassian ecosystem including Jira, Tempo Budgets, Tempo Planner, and Structure, to ensure initiatives are on track, value is delivered as committed and is measured without creating extra work, and forecasts show reduced budget variances. The team also managed to do away with lengthy Portfolio status meetings and static PowerPoint reports by replacing them with live dynamic dashboards.
Join Rogelio Martinez (NextEra Energy), Alexander Eck (Tempo), and Briana Hall (Cprime), as we showcase how to leverage the data inherent in Jira to model, forecast and track scope, financials, resource actuals and trends.
You will learn:
*How to leverage the Atlassian tool set to improve transparency, visualization of work and metrics
*How to get better insight into your business with Tempo time tracking, with reliable reports on productivity, billing & accounting
*How to transform a traditional project management into an Agile implementation

How to Drive Maximum Business Value from IT Investments with the Flow FrameworkTasktop
When organizations connect and measure the impact of their IT investments on the business’ strategy, business and technology leaders are able to partner more effectively and accelerate the delivery of real business value.
But to do so, these teams must be seamlessly aligned throughout the delivery pipeline, able to quickly identify and resolve bottlenecks, and work together to optimize their processes end-to-end. Flow Metrics enable organizations to measure what matters in software delivery, optimizing the flow of business value from ideation to operation and turning IT from a project-oriented cost center to a profit-generating product operating model.
Key Takeaways:
Discover how to align business and IT leaders to optimize value delivery using the Flow Framework™
Learn how to use Flow Metrics to expose bottlenecks and reveal opportunities to improve time-to-market, responsiveness to customers, and quality
Understand how to create a seamless end-to-end flow of business value in large-scale application delivery using Blueprint Storyteller and Tasktop Hub

DOES14 - Pat Reed - Project Labor Cost Accounting for Agile ProjectsGene Kim
Pat Reed, Principal Consultant, iHoriz, Inc.
Accurate Accounting of Project Labor Cost (Capitalization vs. Expensing) on Agile projects and product development continues to be a source of confusion, waste and risk; and remains a blocker to Enterprise Agile Adoption. A myriad of associated risks (impacting Software Development and Dev Ops) include:
Loss of material benefits of utilizing the an Agile methodology (increasing the cost and risk of software development)
Blocking large scale and enterprise adoption of Agile and residual benefits
Creating inconsistencies in interpretation of project cost accounting and defeating FASB’s original intent of generating an accounting standard to protect investor confidence

Understanding Globus Data Transfers with NetSageGlobus
NetSage is an open privacy-aware network measurement, analysis, and visualization service designed to help end-users visualize and reason about large data transfers. NetSage traditionally has used a combination of passive measurements, including SNMP and flow data, as well as active measurements, mainly perfSONAR, to provide longitudinal network performance data visualization. It has been deployed by dozens of networks world wide, and is supported domestically by the Engagement and Performance Operations Center (EPOC), NSF #2328479. We have recently expanded the NetSage data sources to include logs for Globus data transfers, following the same privacy-preserving approach as for Flow data. Using the logs for the Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) as an example, this talk will walk through several different example use cases that NetSage can answer, including: Who is using Globus to share data with my institution, and what kind of performance are they able to achieve? How many transfers has Globus supported for us? Which sites are we sharing the most data with, and how is that changing over time? How is my site using Globus to move data internally, and what kind of performance do we see for those transfers? What percentage of data transfers at my institution used Globus, and how did the overall data transfer performance compare to the Globus users?

12. Why Should We Care?
• Misunderstandings in how to track and report agile project costs
have cost companies millions of dollars in improper taxation
• Better use of money, increases shareholder wealth and makes
more funds available internally.
• Poor capitalization rules create choppy income statements for
companies, making them look poorly managed
• Company assets and expenses look unstable
• Expensing the wrong things destroys shareholder wealth
Copyright 2013, cPrime Inc. 12
13. Why Don’t Firms Capitalize?
• Misunderstandings
• Agile projects are difficult to track CapEx and OpEx
• R&D is an expense - Nokia
• Innovation time is an expense – Nokia/AT&T
• Google 20% Rule
• Gives finance greater control and visibility on innovation
• Innovation Sprints
Copyright 2013, cPrime Inc. 13
14. What Can be Capitalized?
• Longer term software projects that are designed to produce
revenue or cost savings
• Adding features which will increase revenue or cost savings
(i.e. business value).
• Hardware/Infrastructure (maybe)
• If it is tied to software features which are are being capitalized
Copyright 2013, cPrime Inc. 14
15. What Can’t be Capitalized?
• Sprint 0, Release and ART Planning Meetings
• Your team fixes regression bugs in a released product, while it
develops new features,
• Your team is creating a product for international release, and is
localizing the product for multiple languages,
• Your team (not just its software) manually converts data from one form
to another,
• Your team helps train people to use the software,
• Your team participates in operations activities beyond deployment,
such as monitoring, reporting, backup, machine configuration,
• Your team performs routine Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) or security reviews
[15 USC 7211],
• Your team refactors code unlikely to be relevant to new functionality
(you probably shouldn’t do this anyway),
• Your team modifies software to support individual customers.

16. When to Start Project Capitalization
• If we are following Scrum, we can start capitalization in
Sprint 1
• Assuming sprint 1 has points, it will be delivering value.
• The Project has been authorized and funded
• It is expected that the project will be completed and the
software will be used to perform the function intended.
• New or upgraded software functionality is being
developed
• Note: solely extending the software’s useful life without adding
additional functionality is a maintenance activity (OpEx)
Copyright 2013, cPrime Inc. 16
17. Simple Rules
1. The nature of work performed in the Preliminary and Post Implementation phases is primarily Expense
2. The nature of work in the Development Phase determines whether it will be Capitalized or Expensed:
Expense vs. Capitalization
» What How
People or Process-Centric Asset-Centric
Administrative Technical
Support Decision-Authority
» Discretionary/Supplemental Asset-Critical
3. Decision tree:
IF
Minimum expected life of 3 years beneficial use
New software functionality
AND
Completion of preliminary (expense) phase with e-mail from management authorized with appropriate spending authority to fund project
as evidence of readiness for design storming (triggering the development/capitalization phase)
AND
High probability that the product will be completed as planned
Work effort is directly related to asset /product design, development, testing or implementation/integration (except for administration,
overhead, training and data conversion costs)
CAPITALIZE
ELSE
Expense

18. Summary of Rules: CapEx vs. OpEx For Agile
Software
• CapEx
• Customer facing, revenue generating
• Long term economic value (greater than a year)
• You're selling software
• OpEx
• Sprint 0, Release Planning, Requirements Gathering
• HIP Sprints (SAFe)
• Short term software projects that receive no value
• Hybrid projects
• Need to track both!
Copyright 2013, cPrime Inc. 18
19. Current CapEx and Project Staffing
• Force engineers to track hours (degrading their creativity and
productivity with mind-numbing work-tracking),
• Undercapitalize software development (leaving huge sums on the
table), or
• Reclassify past expenses and restate earnings (raising investor
questions about the stability of the company).
• Agile projects are not preliminary stage work
• Companies often capitalize the wrong thing or try to extend the
project beyond its useful life
Copyright 2013, cPrime Inc. 19
20. Funding by Release vs. Project
• Pro:
• Acknowledges sunk costs
Shut down the project at any point
• Don’t spend more than you need to
Project is done when the value delivered < cost
• Con:
• MUST have Lean/Agile Finance department that understands to the
value stream
• Release funding must happen in hours/days not weeks/months
• Finance must collaborate with the Agile team
Copyright 2013, cPrime Inc. 20
21. Funding By Project
• Pro:
• Only go to the well once (maybe)
• Total cost is known up front (maybe)
• Con:
• Need to be right the first time or risk going back to the well
• If there is money, people will spend it
Temptation is there to continue spending, even after cost has
exceeded the value

23. Story Point Capitalization
• Requires a paradigm shift
• Only assign points to business value stories
See the “so that,” <business value> part of the statement
• Bugs and Spikes are relegated to OpEx
No Points
• User stories must be written to deliver business value in order to
be capitalized
• Must apply to all projects as a policy
• User stories can determine if value is being added to existing
software
• Very important for capitalizing “internal use” software
• Velocity now measuring delivery of business value
Copyright 2013, cPrime Inc. 23
24. Lead and Lag Indicators
• Velocity can be used as a lead indicator to predict scope and
value release
• Funding by Story Points, allows you to be predictable about
costs
• Both CapEx and OpEx
• Timesheets are purely lag indicators, inaccurate, and do not
provide enough documentation
• Agile projects are better documented and easier to determine
business value delivered
Copyright 2013, cPrime Inc. 24
25. End of Timesheets
• Why?
• To increase accuracy
• Not inherently evil, just misused
• Developers hate it
• Record every hour, or end of the week?
• Better correlation to points and velocity (over time)
• Velocity is an average and overtime will correlate to the
capacity
• Still want hours?
• No problem. Use ideal hours, they are already being
tracked
Copyright 2013, cPrime Inc. 25
26. Why Auditors (and Finance) Will Learn to Love
It
• Dates are fixed, easy to track
• We know exactly which team(s) did the work
• Day-by-day task burndown
• Stories, Features, and Epics are traceable in the Agile tools
• PBI is well documented and easy to understand, thanks to User
Story Format
End result: more verifiable, better documented production
data and more closely aligned with customer value
Copyright 2013, cPrime Inc. 26
27. Lessons Learned
• Large Airline
• Goal: only fund what we need. Return the unused project funds to
fund other projects
• Tried (and failed) funding by release
• Went back to funding by project
• Money NEVER got returned
• Took 3 months to get funding approved
• Lesson Learned: This only works if you have an Agile finance dept
• Large Mobile Phone Developer used 6 month rolling wave
budget planning.
• Seemed to work fine
• Week to 10 day approval cycle
Copyright 2013, cPrime Inc. 27
28. Metrics and Models
• Standard ROI/Payback ignores risk and time-value of money
• Use Net Present Value instead
• Use sensitivity analysis to vet hurdle rate
• Mobile Phone Developer used 10% for familiar Software Projects
• Airline Used 15%
• Airline used Agile Metrics to track (and predict) CapEx
• Time to Market
• Planning Predictability
• Scope Released
Copyright 2013, cPrime Inc. 28
29. Implementation Suggestions
• Training of Finance in Agile Frameworks (high level)
• SAFe – Scaled Agile Framework for Enterprise
• Training of Scrum Master in CapEx vs. OpEx
• Collaboration
• Finance MUST attend (at a minimum) Release/ART
Meetings
• Product Owners MUST treat Finance as a stakeholder and
inform them of changes to the release and sprint goals
• Metrics
• To track and predict sprint and release goals
• Project ROI tracking
• Did we achieve the value we said we would?
• Inquiring shareholders want to know
• Implement lightweight Business Cases
Copyright 2013, cPrime Inc. 29
30. Next Steps
• Finance and business leaders are brought up to speed
• Could start capitalizing story points now, just need to sort out
which story points are delivering value
• Scrum Masters promote capitalization processes
• IT and Finance Leadership to provide project funding guidance
• CapEx, OpEx, Hybrid using lightweight business cases
• Only assign points to business value stories
• Increase the maturity of the Agile teams
• Especially in planning activities
• How?

Ha
(Break free)
Ri
(Transcend)
A sound technical foundation can be built most efficiently by following a single route to that
goal.
Ha (break free)
At this stage, each technique has been thoroughly learned and absorbed into the muscle
memory, the student is prepared to reason about the background behind these techniques.
Ri (transcend)
In this stage, the student is a practitioner testing against the reality of his/her background
knowledge as well as the demands of everyday life.
*The instructor decides when the student moves on from phase to phase, not the student.
