No (Lab) Jacket Required: Designing Experiments for Learning [XP2020 Conference]Matthew Philip
Slides as presented at the XP2020 Conference (Copenhagen/Online) by Matthew Philip (Accenture | SolutionsIQ).
Abstract
Hypothesis-Driven Development is thinking about the development of new ideas, products and services – even organizational change – as a series of experiments to determine whether an expected outcome will be achieved, so we need to know how to design and run experiments properly. This workshop session helps participants understand the importance of using experiments to help teams and organizations learn and improve, while giving hands-on practice in designing experiments to yield measurable evidence for that learning. We’ll even play a couple of inductive-logic games to get us in the mindset of how to write tests to validate — and invalidate — our hypotheses in order to acquire knowledge. Whether you’re in product development of organizational improvement, for those wanting to move from projects to experiments in the quest of continuous learning and evolutionary improvement, this session will provide the tools and mindset for going beyond simply calling something an experiment to conducting experiments with the proper rigor to maximize learning.
This 60-minute workshop session helps participants:
understand the importance of using experiments to help teams and organizations learn and improve
gain hands-on practice in designing experiments to yield measurable evidence for that learning
understand how to properly measure outcomes without confirmation bias

This workshop will show this mindset via a creative exercise. Whether you want to work agile or not, the lessons learned are useful for all kinds of projects in every organization. - Ron van Haasteren

The Agile Marketing [R]Evolution: How to Harness the Power of ChangeAndrea Fryrear
Our belief that we have to "go big or go home" is holding us back from starting down the path towards agility. Instead of making a big bet on agile, we should take the agile approach and embrace incremental expansion and iterative improvement. These are the stories of three first-rate marketers doing just that.

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.
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.

7 Secrets of Successful HipChat IntegrationsAtlassian
One of the great things about HipChat is its ability to support add-ons that pull useful information from other systems into team chat rooms. Many teams use add-ons to do things like notify them about incidents, track marketing metrics, or organize team projects.
But, getting teams to use the right add-ons in the right way can be a challenge. While many provide a lot of value to the team, others don't get much adoption.
Learn what makes for a successful HipChat add-on from HipChat Ecosystem team manager, Anatoli Kazatchkov, who has studied the essential traits of popular add-ons. You will learn how to avoid making your add-ons too noisy, how to make the functionality discoverable, and how to provide the right information in the right context.

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. The process is even called "cascading goals" - you can't get more waterfall than that.
The service delivery review the missing agile feedback loop by Matthew PhillipAgile ME
Though the standard agile feedback loops -- product demo, team retrospective and automated tests — provide valuable awareness of health and fitness, many teams and their stakeholders struggle to find a reliable way to understand an important area of feedback, including their level of agility: the fitness of their service delivery. This session introduces the service-delivery review as the forum for this feedback. Participants will learn the basics of how to conduct a service-delivery review and the benefits, as well as typical fitness metrics. The context will be for software-delivery teams but the lessons will be applicable for any team, group or department that provides a service.

Why Constraints are Good? A Case Study of an Enterprise Agile TransformationMatt Harasymczuk
Agile transformation requires understanding its rules by management. It is hard to leave status quo and change your way of thinking. It is especially hard when the previous model has been in use for many years. A frequent problem with Scrum / Kanban / Lean transformation is to go hard on deep water. Starting tommorow we're doing Scrum. Lack of understanding, communication chaos and rules distortion "just because daily is not working for us". What if take a different approach: slow and prudent? Let say iteratively. Gradually introduce another steps of chosen framework. However the question persists. How to effectively change our conservative organization into agile and constantly changing in response to business needs company?
How to Build a Future Proof PMO - Apex Group | FuturePMO 2023Wellingtone
Lessons learned in building PMOs over the past 20 years in different industries, including health care, financial services, insurance, software, etc. To be successful, you have to build PMOs that can reinvent themselves as businesses change so fast along with the environment in which they operate.

When we teamed up with AgileSherpas to survey hundreds of marketers for the 1st Annual State of Agile Marketing Report, we found that 37% of marketing teams are using an Agile process. And that number is only going to grow, with 61% of traditional marketers planning to go Agile within the next year.
Want to find out how your team can increase its agility?
In this webinar, we sat down with Andrea Fryrear, President and Lead Trainer at Agile Sherpas, to dive into the details of:
- Why traditional marketing teams are going Agile (and why you should too)
- The greatest barriers to Agile marketing (and how to overcome them)
- The Agile techniques that work best for marketers (because we love to make things our own)

Technology continues to enhance our real-time communications across the globe. And as the world seemingly gets smaller, the opportunities get bigger. In the United States alone, exports rose to their highest level on record last November. And China also reported record trade figures last year.
This issue of Pragmatic Marketer takes a look at how to make the most of globalization since, as Adi Kabazo puts it in his article, “While commercializing, marketing and supporting technology products in multiple regions can be a dream come true, it can also be an extremely daunting challenge.”
From translation efforts to pricing to development, this issue features insights for going global that we hope you’ll reach for time and again.
We strive to be a go-to resource for product management and marketing professionals. If there’s anything you’d like to see in an upcoming issue, please reach out to editor@pragmaticmarketing.com.

We’ll dig into the importance of strategy, growth, planning and most importantly, the legacy that each of us will leave through our businesses and our life. Don’t let chaos determine your future and the outcome of your life’s work. Take control, understand the trends and changes that are coming, and set course to create the legacy you desire with intention.

The 8 Stances of a Transformational LeaderMatthew Philip
Patterned after the popular "Eight Stances of a Scrum Master," this talks introduces the eight stances -- "mental or emotional positions adopted with respect to something" -- of leaders at all levels who want to enable high-performing people, teams and organizations. To improve organizational outcomes, the eight stances are aimed at:
- Reducing friction to allow teams to do what they do best
- Fostering a learning environment to enable high performance, mastery and innovation
- Creating aligned autonomy to scalably connect strategy to action
Strategy Deployment: Aligning Action to VisionMatthew Philip
Strategy Deployment is any form of organizational improvement in which solutions emerge from the people closest to the problems. This is an example of how to bring about such improvement through fast, focused, collaborative activities like Visioning, X-Matrix and Experiment Canvas.
Metrics at Every (Flight) Level [2020 Agile Kanban Istanbul FlowConf]Matthew Philip
Slides as presented on Dec 8, 2020 at FlowConf organized by Agile Kanban Istanbul. https://www.flowconf.com/
Organizational change often stalls out at departmental boundaries, whether that is IT or another division. How do we help organizations connect vertically and horizontally to realize the outcomes that they have when undertaking large-scale change efforts?
Join this session to learn from a case study of a bank that combined flight levels and metrics to bridge their departmental boundaries and recognize gains not only in software delivery effectiveness but unifying higher-level strategy.
Stop writing stories, start validating working softwareMatthew Philip
Slides as presented at the 2020 Ágiles Latam Conference.
Abstract:
Barry O’Reilly exhorts today’s leaders to “break the cycle of behaviors that were effective in the past but are no longer relevant in the current business climate, and now limit or may even stand in the way of your success.” After more than two decades of writing, refining, grooming, estimating and documenting user stories, it’s time to unlearn them.
In a vast and sad irony, user stories have become the heavyweight documentation and process that they were meant to replace. This session proposes that we strip away the accrued behaviors and get back to the heart of agile and focus on delivering — and measuring progress by — working software.
From Andon to Yokoten: Japanese for AgilistsMatthew Philip
Slides as presented at the 2020 Lean Agile US conference (https://www.leanagileus.com/schedule-2020).
Kanban, Andon, Kaizen as we are using these words in our English-speaking knowledge workplaces, but what do they mean? The fact that many of these Japanese terms originate in manufacturing complicates matters. We all discuss what they mean and why they are important in knowledge work today and go beyond the simple buzzwords. To help us remember not only the words but, more importantly, the concepts, we all use our own version of the popular Point travelers books so that participants can have a little fun learning.
No (Lab) Jacket Required: Designing Experiments for Learning [2019 Flowcon]Matthew Philip
Slides as presented during the workshop with Karl Scotland at Flowcon, Paris, Dec. 12, 2019. https://www.flowcon.fr/
Hypothesis-Driven Development is thinking about the development of new ideas, products and services – even organizational change – as a series of experiments to determine whether an expected outcome will be achieved, so we need to know how to design and run experiments properly.
This session helps participants understand the importance of using experiments to help teams and organizations learn and improve, while giving hands-on practice in designing experiments to yield measurable evidence for that learning. We’ll even play a couple of inductive-logic games to get us in the mindset of how to write tests to validate – and invalidate – our hypotheses in order to acquire knowledge.
Whether you’re in product development or organizational improvement, for those wanting to move from projects to experiments in the quest of continuous learning and evolutionary improvement, this session will provide the tools and mindset for going beyond simply calling something an experiment, to conducting experiments with the proper rigor to maximize learning.

▫︎There is no empathy from management, as they're
sociopaths.
