INNOVATION ROOTS | Webinar | Kanban Management Professional to Create Value, ...Innovation Roots
Session Title : Kanban Management Professional to Create Value, Create Service
Session Overview:
The purpose of your organisation is to create customers! Everything you do at work directly or indirectly affects the flow of value to the consumers of that work, and the likelihood they will become, stay, or stop being customers. We need to take the idea that knowledge work is a service seriously! This webinar introduces one of the key foundations of being a successful Kanban Management Professional, seeing and improving the network of services that enables your organisation to deliver value to customers.
Kanban defines three Service Delivery Principles that focus on this idea, and we'll look at them in more detail in this webinar. Thinking about the nature of the services we delivery, who we deliver them to, and what makes them fit for the customer's purpose, breaks through the purely procedural aspects of process to the motivations for, and mechanisms to, continually improve the way we work. We'll see that flow efficiency and lead time are an integral part of how customers experience our work.
This webinar introduces you to one of the elements of the Kanban Lens, as well as Kanban's principles and general practices. It will also set you on the road to find out more, and possibly to become a Kanban Management Professional (KMP).
Six Steps Towards Self Learning Teams and OrganizationsAndy Cleff
A framework that will propel your teams and organization on a path of self-learning and growth:
1. How to build an inventory of skills to sustain high performance
2. How to visualize the current and future states of the team skill set
3. How to prioritize "the learning backlog" and create conditions conducive to self-learning
4. Building learning communities at scale
5. How to measure outcomes of this experiment, to inspect and adapt the changing needs of the team and the organization
6. And how to making it all visible and amplify a culture of organizational learning
Talk given at Confoo16: Too many teams are working themselves to the bone day after day with no relief in sight. Too often, this unsustainable pace becomes permanent and work continues to pile on top of everything that's already in progress. Julia will share how Kanban helped teams at TBS and F5 Networks deliver more, reduce stress and tame the craziness of the new normal. Learn concepts you can adapt and apply to your context to make the everyday better!
The Fishbone (aka Cause & Effect or Ishikawa) Diagram is a seemingly simple method of conducting structured brainstorming around the root cause of a process problem. So why is it so hard to get it right? In this 1-hour Introductory Webinar we'll walk through some classic ways to build a Fishbone Diagram, we'll show you some of the common missteps and we'll provide examples of what they look like when they're properly executed. Join us for a guided tour of the Fishbone!
A Great Idea Isn't Enough for Successful Change - FinalKaiNexus
Presented by Mark Jaben, M.D., author of the book "Free the Brain"
Maybe you had expected more. Maybe it went ok, but you’d like it to go smoother. Maybe its gone well and you want to understand about how that happened for next time. Maybe you’d like change to be less of a hassle.
If so, this webinar is for you.
As a result of this webinar, you will understand:
Change is a verb, not a noun
The fundamental unit of change
Why your belief about what’s going on is not the result of what you think.
Why conflict is what you should expect and what you actually need for successful change
The choice to resist or engage is not an analytical one, so why approach it that way.
We are not wired to resist; we are wired to succeed.
An ideal change must work AND be workable; judging each uses different functions in the brain.

Why Are We Stuck? Getting Agile Teams On The Path To Continuous ImprovementAgile Velocity
When things are going well, it is difficult to find motivation to go from good to great.
As an Agile leader, it’s important to be able to identify the symptoms your team or team-of-teams start to exhibit when they get stuck – when their momentum for positive growth and change stalls or plateaus – and what to do about it.
Presented at Global Scrum Gathering Minneapolis, this session was a highly interactive workshop with group discussions, table talks and concept centers that provided you with a toolbox to identify symptoms of a stuck team, determine why they are stuck, activities to get them unstuck and highlight potential dysfunctions and over-correction patterns.

The promise and peril of Agile and Lean practicesmtoppa
Why you may to consider adopting Agile or Lean practices, how they differ from each other, what benefits you can expect, and what obstacles you may face.
What learn by doing does not mean – Slides from the keynote delivered minutes ago by LEI CEO John Shook at the GBMP annual conference, Oct. 5, Worcester, MA.
Why do so many organizations struggle to put in place mature Agile teams that can apply proper Agile principles and deliver awesome products? Some people will say, “Agile is hard” as an excuse to not do Agile or to become frAgile. Well we think we have developed the “Secret Sauce” to rebooting any Agile team that just doesn’t seem to be maturing and we want to share it with you!
If you are thinking of scaling Agile across a large organization, then this talk is a must to attend to help ensure your teams have the right foundation. Organizations wanting to scale Agile must have a solid foundation of mature Agile teams who embrace the Agile values and have the right Agile mindset.
Over the years, as we have done Agile transformations in different organizations, we have seen common patterns that keep repeating. The most common pattern we found in our experience is that teams are frAgile. Too many either pretend to be Agile or don’t even know Agile is not a methodology, so organizations question the value of using Agile. Very often the confusion and frustration that comes with thinking that a team is Agile when they are not Agile, brings people right back to their old habits of command and control. Creating successful mature Agile teams is not sorcery, you need to discover the secret sauce!
In this talk, we will reveal our secrets on how to create a successful Agile-Scrum team in 5 sprints. Attendees will learn how we applied our secret sauce as we experimented with more than 30 teams and we refined the know-how. This recipe has proven to be successful in different organizations and teams delivering different types of products. Our Creative-Destruction approach goes through a human change process we labeled The Intervention Plan. The 5 steps are:
Step 1: Run in the rain
Step 2: Thunderstruck
Step 3: Start the M&M pain machine
Step 4: Open-up and look at the sun
Step 5: Removing the training wheels
And by using these 5 steps, attendees will discover the 5th Agile value!

How to find and hold direction when everything is changing.
Zehn Risiken, welche Ihr Projekt in eine Katastrophe verwandeln könnenPeter Stevens
Murphy war ein Optimist. Alles, was passieren kann, wird passieren und dazu gehören auch die Risiken, die Ihr Projekt zum Erliegen bringen können - es sei denn, Sie ergreifen Massnahmen um sicherzustellen, dass sie nicht passieren. Ein Digitalisierungsprojekt ist letztendlich ein Softwareprojekt. Wie unterscheiden sich die Risiken eines Softwareprojekts von denjenigen eines Bauprojekts? Dieser Vortrag gibt Antwort und zeigt auf, wie das Beschaffungskonzept besser in Einklang mit dem Lieferkonzept zu bringen ist.
Agile Baden/Finding Purpose in Chaos with Personal AgilityPeter Stevens
The Covid19 has caused much of the economy to shut down, caused many people to work from home (while taking care of their kids!), and caused many people to rethink what they do and how they do it. The world is coming to an end. Or is it a great opportunity? Or both?
We’ll look at how finding purpose can help you face the future without fear and how personal agility can help find purpose of move forward despite the challenges around you.

Jedes Projekt ist ein Sprung ins Unbekannte und Murphy war ein Optimist. Alles, was passieren kann, wird passieren. Scrum und andere agile Frameworks wurden entwickelt, um Risiken zu verringern und die Erfolgswahrscheinlichkeit von Softwareentwicklungsprojekten zu erhöhen.
Viele Entwicklungsarbeiten werden heutzutage outgesourced. Ein guter Vertrag unterstützt eine gute Zusammenarbeit zwischen den Vertragspartnern. Hindernisse, welche im Vertrag verankert sind, sind kaum zu beseitigen. Was für Alternativen gibt es und welche führen am ehesten zu einem erfolgreichen Abschluss?

Update! Ten Things to Tell Management About Scrum and AgilePeter Stevens
Last year, I shared 10 key points the leaders need to know about Scrum and Agile. Since then, I have worked on two transitions. What works, what doesn't, and how would I update the advice from last year?
Some of the things you do have meaning. Some don't. These six questions identify what has meaning for you and what doesn't. My talk at #AceConf 2018 in Krakow and for the Discuss Agile Group in May 2018.
Scrum and Personal Agility are simple frameworks for getting good at getting the right things done. Scrum is team-based framework, Personal Agility is an individual or pair-oriented framework. How are they similar? And how does Personal Agility help you in contexts where Scrum is not appropriate?

Why are organizations challenged by agile transitions? How can you get better at doing what matters, both for your own benefit and for more success at work? Peter Stevens explains the simple tools of personal agility and closes the loop between personal and organizational agility.

How would we define Scrum? How could we convince people to do Scrum? I believe that agreements are more powerful than rules. I also believe that Scrum implements patterns that most of us have experienced in our own most successful projects. Let's test that belief and see how we can apply that to facilitating Scrum adoption. During this interactive workshop, we:
• Share and reflect on the experiences from our own best projects
• Look for patterns in those projects
• Compare Scrum with our own best experiences
• Explore an agreement-based adoption strategy
The workshop also includes some additional food for thought: What if we considered the Scrum Flow as a series of opportunities to ask ourselves powerful questions?
What if Scrum had no rules? How would we define it? What if there were no Scrum? How would we create
it? Scrum is based on successful patterns for product development. During this workshop, we will
reflect and share the experiences from our own best projects, and look for patterns in those projects.

most of these were largely concerned with the movements
of small green pieces of paper, which is odd because on
the whole it wasn’t the small green pieces of paper that
were unhappy.”
