The world is on fire! None of our improvements in software development will matter at all if we can’t change the course of the climate crisis. The software lifecycle creates direct and indirect carbon emissions: it has a footprint, worsening environmental problems. However, the environmental aspect is not the only one we need to focus on. If we take our task seriously, we have to take a holistic view of software development in the sense of the so-called triple bottom line from all three sustainability perspectives: social, economic, and ecological. In this session, I want to broaden our horizon on having this holistic perspective on our responsibility for sustainability that comes with software development. I will share both ideas about possibilities and examples from companies who make already an effort in implementing this holistic perspective because sustainability becomes more and more a success factor for every company: For finding and keeping both clients as well as talent. Thus, this session is about raising awareness of our contribution to sustainability and understanding the (first) steps we can take to make a difference.

Agility and sustainability are intertwined and define more and more the success factor for every company: For finding and keeping both clients as well as talent. Have you ever wondered about the responsibility that comes with “being agile”? If you, your team, or your organization claim to be agile people expect you, for example, to embrace diversity & inclusion, to satisfy your customers without any bias, and even to protect your environment. In this session, I want to broaden our horizon on having a more holistic perspective on our responsibility for sustainability that comes with being agile. I will share both ideas about possibilities and examples from companies who make already an effort in implementing this holistic perspective. Thus, this session is about raising the awareness of our contribution to more sustainability and understanding how the principles of the agile manifesto can be leveraged to change our actions.

Software Sustainability: Wake-Up Call for Taking Responsibility

Jutta Eckstein

The increase of digitalization means that software is a key driver for society and the economy. However, this means we can’t keep creating products and without taking the responsibility for the impact of the software. For example, IT is predicted to account for 21% of global energy consumption by 2030. If we don't change the way we implement software, we will add to our carbon footprint. So, it is time to examine how software development can help reduce energy consumption and ensure more - ecological, social & economic - sustainability. In this keynote, I want to broaden our horizon on having a more holistic perspective on our responsibility for sustainability. I will share both ideas about possibilities and examples from companies who make already an effort in implementing this holistic perspective, because sustainability becomes more and more a success factor for every company: For finding and keeping both clients as well as talent. Thus, this session is about raising the awareness of our contribution to more sustainability and hopefully being a wake-up call for taking responsibility.

So, it's time to examine how agility can help to reduce energy consumption and ensure greater - environmental, social & economic - sustainability. The point is not to pursue sustainability for altruistic reasons, but to understand that over time, sustainability is also becoming a key factor that determines the success of companies, both in the search for talent and for customers and markets. In this session, inspect real data and gain a holistic perspective of your team’s or company’s current situation regarding agile sustainability. Comparative Agile Sustainability is an approach that we created in a small team with the support of data analysts that serves to anchor and promote the awareness of sustainability in an (agile) team and/or company.

ESG Imperative - Ipsos foundational perspectives

Chris Hibbert

Organisations are coming under an increasing amount of pressure to do business more sustainably. As a result, ESG (environmental, social, governance) considerations are now a key part of companies’ strategic plans and roadmaps. At Ipsos we leverage research specialisms and cross-sector expertise to understand governments, businesses, and citizens to inform better decision making when it comes to all aspects of environment, social and governance (ESG).

Perfection and Reality on Crossing the - Diversity- Chasm

Jutta Eckstein

We Agile enthusiasts have a tendency to believe that we're miles ahead of the rest of the IT industry. And in many ways, we truly are. But let me share a personal experience that might challenge this perception. Picture this: I'm a woman attending an Agile conference, ready to soak in all the knowledge and excitement. But there's one thing that never fails to catch my attention. Every time nature calls, I find myself standing in line for what feels like an eternity, just to access the women's restrooms. Interestingly enough, this never happens at general IT conferences. So, are we there yet? Not quite. In this session, I want to shed light on the gaps between our perception of Agile and its community and the harsh reality we face. It's not just about diversity, although that's an important part of it. We still have hurdles to overcome, and it's time to cross the chasm that separates us from our ideal Agile world.

Agilists, the planet is (silently) screaming!

Jutta Eckstein

There’s no time to wait just because we’re overwhelmed. We need to act on the climate crisis NOW! We’ll create small experiments we all can do, and we’ll involve the whole conference to get feedback. We are dealing with a slow crisis. We are used to a crisis being now and urgent and stirring fight or flight hormones that cause us to drop everything and face the crisis. So, the difficulty with the climate crisis (and other planetary challenges) is that for most of us the fight or flight hormones are not kicking in. Additionally, that crisis is a wicked problem that tends to leave us overwhelmed (“what can little me do about such a big problem?”), uncertain if we can make a difference at all, and if so, how? In this workshop, we will focus on the professional life of agile leaders and testers in their organizations and will present a strategy for creating necessary internal and external connections that can help us better react NOW to this slow crisis in our everyday work. Furthermore, we will explore how to overcome the helplessness many people feel with such a wicked problem and explore specific sustainable testing strategies you can use in your day-to-day work. We will not only create small experiments that we all can specifically do as agile leaders and testers but also as a group we will organize a way to get feedback on these experiments from the whole conference. This way, the whole conference can start to hear the “silent scream of the planet” and both the participants of the workshop and the whole conference can mutually benefit from these experiments.

Increasing Productivity by Uncovering Costs of Delay

Jutta Eckstein

Fred Brooks once stated so wisely "How does a project get to be a year late? … One day at a time." Lean Development and queuing theories offer help so that this won't happen. The suggested remedy is to implement a steady flow in order to achieve maximum productivity. However, most teams and organizations are far from reaching that goal and moreover, it is often unclear which approach leads to what kind of delay. In-depth examination shows how generally accepted concepts such as Definition of Ready, Clean Code, or experts in a team can lead to costs of delay. In this session, Jutta presents simple tools and methods for uncovering hidden costs of delay. These tools and methods can be applied in various contexts: In small and large teams as well as in co-located and distributed teams. Using an agile approach will help to make these costs visible.

Jutta Eckstein

This is an emergency. None of our Agile improvements in product development will matter at all if we can’t change the course of the climate crisis. Like everyone we feel overwhelmed to confront a problem as wickedly complex as the climate crisis, and we’ll show you that Agile practitioners have many skills and methods at our fingertips to make a difference in the future. Many hands make lighter work. So, let’s do this!

Agile for Future: Mit dem Agilen Manifest zu mehr Nachhaltigkeit!

Jutta Eckstein

Das Agile Manifest erschließt „bessere Wege, Software zu entwickeln“. Könnte dieser bessere Weg auch den CO2-Fußabdruck der Software berücksichtigen? Einer Prognose zufolge wird die IT bis 2030 21% des weltweiten Energieverbrauchs ausmachen. Ändern wir die Art und Weise wie wir Software implementieren nicht, werden wir zur Erhöhung des CO2-Fußabdrucks beitragen. Es ist also Zeit zu prüfen, wie agile Entwicklung dazu beitragen kann, den Energieverbrauch zu senken und für mehr – ökologische, soziale & wirtschaftliche – Nachhaltigkeit zu sorgen.

Can we leverage the Agile Manifesto to reduce our Carbon footprint?

Jutta Eckstein

Do you know that some forecasts project that in 2030 IT will account for 21% of all energy consumption? So, if we do not change the way we implement software, we will contribute to the increase in the carbon footprint. This means it is about time to take another look at how agile development can help decrease energy consumption. In this workshop, we'll explore how the agile principles can guide us to more sustainability, and we'll provide you with concrete ideas for increasing sustainability in your product development.

Addressing Complexity by Learning fast with BOSSA nova

Jutta Eckstein

The pandemic is a stark example of the volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (short VUCA) world we currently live in and this world asks for company-wide agility. By synthesizing Beyond Budgeting, Open Space, Sociocracy & Agility, BOSSA nova is one approach to company-wide agility. Yet it is often unclear, where and how to start implementing this approach. As pointed out by the so-called Fearless Change Patterns, it doesn’t help to wait for the perfect moment when you have the resources and knowledge you think you need; instead, take the first baby step and start learning. Thus, for living in the VUCA world an open mindset to learning is essential that can be approached by the concept called probes – small, safe-to-fail experiments based on hypotheses derived from reflection on the current situation as well as on theory. In this session, I will share both the concept and some examples of probes implemented by different companies that can guide the probing in your company to establish a learning organization.

Real Cross-functional teams for Creating real and better Products

Jutta Eckstein

co-presentation with Maryse Meinen. At the core of agile development are self-organizing cross-functional teams. Yet, this is often understood as e.g., backend & front-end developers working together. If an organization is aiming for company-wide agility, to fully benefit from agility it has to enable teams as value centers that are truly cross-functional by bringing in different perspectives from business, markets, cultures, beliefs, etc. This way cross-functional teams overcome not only the limitations of organizational silos but also of a singular view on the market. If teams are really cross-functional and are resembling the diversity of the market, the products they’re creating are also better. Thus, if the whole team has the full business expertise, knows the market, reflects the full diversity of the clients, then it can even disrupt the market and isn’t waiting for some person (e.g., the Product Owner) to decide on priorities. With this real cross-functionality, the team can fully understand the company’s business and has a holistic view of it, knowing its contribution to the company’s value stream. Real cross-functional teams are an essential building block for implementing company-wide agility and the organization benefits by creating better and in a way more real products and by having more options when entering the war of talent.

A Simple Approach for Managing Complexity

Jutta Eckstein

We often find ourselves in complex situations without recognizing what makes them complex. Yet, only understanding the context will help us to either benefit from the complex situation (yes, it can also be beneficial) or know how to reduce the complexity. In this workshop, we will introduce a simple tool (the difference matrix of Human Systems Dynamics, HSD in short) that helps to see the differences and exchanges that at the same time make a situation complex and provide hints for reducing the complexity. Using a case study, participants will experience in small groups (using breakout rooms) how they can use the difference matrix by example.

Real Cross-functional Teams for Creating real and better Products

Jutta Eckstein

At the core of agile development are self-organizing cross-functional teams. Yet, this is often understood as e.g., backend & front-end developers working together. If an organization is aiming for company-wide agility, to fully benefit from agility it has to enable teams as value centers that are truly cross-functional by bringing in different perspectives from business, markets, cultures, beliefs etc. This way cross-functional teams overcome not only the limitations of organizational silos but also of a singular view on the market. Too many products have been developed that serve one kind of client only. The reason is that the composition of the teams leads (subconsciously) to the development of products that serve only people that resemble the people in the team. One “famous” example is the soap dispenser that only works if your hands are white. If teams are really cross-functional and are resembling the diversity of the market, the products they’re creating are also better. Thus, if the whole team has the full business expertise, knows the market, reflects the full diversity of the clients, then it can even disrupt the market and isn’t waiting for some person (e.g., the Product Owner) to decide on priorities. With this real cross-functionality the team can fully understand the company’s business and has a holistic view of it, knowing its contribution to the company’s value stream. Real cross-functional teams are an essential building block for implementing company-wide agility and the organization benefits by creating better and in a way more real products and by having more options when entering the war of talent.

What's the Impact of the Agile Manifesto on our Carbon Footprint?

Jutta Eckstein

The Agile Manifesto captures "better ways of developing software" yet, could this better way also take the carbon footprint of your software into account? Some forecasts project that in 2030 IT will account for 21% of all energy consumption. Software lifecycle creates direct and indirect carbon emissions: it has a footprint, worsening environmental problems. If we do not change the way we implement software, we will contribute to the increase of the carbon footprint. This means it is about time to take another look at how agile development can help decrease energy consumption. So, this session tries to provide the first answers to "how can the agile community and the agile principles contribute to or guide sustainability?" In this workshop, we want to examine how the principles of the Agile Manifesto can provide guidance for implementing sustainability in IT. In order to do so, we will explore how the principles can contribute to sustainability, and how a greater awareness can change our current way of working for providing our contribution to addressing climate change.

Beyond KPIs & OKRs: How “measuring from below” enables innovation and true ef...

Jutta Eckstein

“Measuring from above” traditionally means measuring against a standard set in the past - against a set of assumptions based on customer research. The unstated assumption is that the customer data will be valid for at least some period of time in the future. OKRs and KPIs then give feedBACK against targets set based on management’s picture of what customers want. What is needed in our VUCA world, however, is feedFORWARD. That is, we must build a model of what customers will want in the future and act now against that model. Too often innovative people in medium to large organizations have the feeling of being in a box - with startling new ideas - and no one really listens. In essence, these innovators are trying to “measure performance upwards.” This upward voice intrinsically measures strategies and customer impact, and applying the concept can significantly improve the overall performance without relying on top-down OKRs and KPIs. Moreover, “measuring from above,” tends to measure only the output of production. However, in the VUCA world, we’re living in right now, measuring the output of production is not enough for companies that need to survive and thrive on disruption. Although OKRs and KPIs have served the business world well in the past, in the future, companies need to focus on the truly important outcome: what is really making a difference for our customers and therefore for our company. However, in a VUCA world, we cannot assume any sort of stability - the model of the future must change often if it is to be sensitive to changing conditions. The “view from below” is very likely to be more attuned to such changes than the view from the top, which necessarily operates at a more abstract, longer-term level. Without measurement from below, the measurement from the top is likely to become “old-fashioned” very quickly. Adding “measurement from below” to a company can create a mindset that empowers everyone to follow their passion and interest and nourish the company’s effectiveness. Implementing a “from below” approach to measurement involves a fundamental shift that asks the company to synthesize a variety of new approaches.

How Agile Is Your Whole Company? Use Data-based KPIs to Find Out!

Jutta Eckstein

There is a way to measure your company’s progress in transforming to company-wide agility! Gain a holistic perspective of (your company’s) organizational agility by using a new assessment tool. In companies, we define OKRs and KPIs for aligning and measuring our performance. However, not much has been done thus far to measure how we are progressing on our journey to company-wide agility. With the right data, that journey can go more rapidly! In this session we provide an overview of what metrics to use, based on many years of experience and groundbreaking scientific theory and articulated as “BOSSA nova” - a synthesis of Beyond Budgeting, Open Space, Sociocracy & Agile. Embracing a data-driven approach to company-wide agility doesn’t mean you’ll have all the answers - but you’ll be able to ask better questions. A focus on data is especially important today when remote work settings create additional barriers to communication and understanding.

This synthesis enables a company to “measure upwards” without jeopardizing the strengths of “leading downwards.” Fortunately, the implementation can be done in small steps that probe and demonstrate new measurement ideas on a small scale such that the proof cascades beyond the demonstration. This session will enable you to get started on your journey to spreading the idea of upwards measurement company-wide. This workshop asks participants to start where they are, explains what it means to probe, and helps them develop strategies and experiments they can use in their own situation to create an environment for high performance that goes beyond what OKRs and KPIs can offer.

What if the world is our customer?

Jutta Eckstein

In agile development we often talk about that our highest priority is to satisfy the customer or that we welcome change for the customer's competitive advantage. However, we always assume the customer is a business customer. In this session I want to attempt to broaden our horizon to have a more holistic perspective on who our customer is (or could be) and how this can change our actions. I will share both ideas about possibilities and examples from companies who make already attempts in implementing this holistic perspective. So, open your mind and explore with me how the agile community can expand their responsibility.

Don’t Fail Fast - Learn fast: Failing fast is an option. But innovating fast ...

Jutta Eckstein

Often in agile working environments, people aim for failing fast. Yet failure is not the goal - learning is. Failure can lead to learning and so can other approaches. It can lead beyond continuous improvement to transformative learning: seeing your situation from a whole new framework in a way that lets you learn by leaps of insight. In this workshop we present specific ways to probe, using hypothesis, and experiments will help you and your team to learn fast. This approach provides a way to get into the mindset of learning and thus always developing. Usually a failure is to do nothing… or to do anything (blindly). The key even for big issues is to make small bets (hypothesis) and learn through experiments what's the impact. So, gain insights by (in)validating the bet. In summary it's about thinking big but acting small (and safely). Note, that every great idea, every innovation is at first a guess or rather a hypothesis and only experiments allow us to find out if our idea is really as great as we thought at first.

Probe your Organization. How to implement a Learning Organization with BOSSAnova

Jutta Eckstein

The volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (short VUCA) world we currently live in asks for company-wide agility. Yet, agility in the literal sense that means companies need to be adaptive, responsive, fast, and nimble. Thus, although already created in the 90ies, the original idea of a learning organization, that is a company that facilitates the learning of its members and continuously transforms itself, is more relevant than ever. Yet, how can such a learning organization come to life? BOSSA nova is one approach to company-wide agility by synthesizing Beyond Budgeting, Open Space, Sociocracy & Agility. The key to its success are so-called probes – small, safe-to-fail experiments based on hypotheses derived from reflection on the current situation as well as on theory. In this session, Jutta will share various probes implemented by different companies that can guide the probing in your company to establish a learning organization.

Innovation by Sharing. How Collaborating on Learning Can Benefit Your Company

Jutta Eckstein

Being connected to society is essential to long-term profitability. If a company is not collaborating on its learning, it will not be innovative enough. At first sight, you might think sharing your learning would prevent you from being the number one in your industry, but the challenges we’re facing right now can only be addressed (quickly) together. Thus, being secretive and focusing on itself inhibits a company from being innovative. In a sense, your company needs to be influenced by outside ideas! A company, especially if it claims to be Agile, is expected to be aware of its ecosystem. Otherwise, it will be viewed as untrustworthy, and distrust will undermine all aspects of the business (including finding clients and talent). In this session, we will explore how cross-functional teams constructed along BOSSA nova principles not only reach across the entire company but into the ecosystem to comprehend the company holistically.
