To capture and externalise the product vision will provide advantages to the process and the team. You will now have a singular representation, a visible artefact to throw tomatoes at, and the ability to test and improve any or all elements.

How to successfully purchase agile software development? Biggest painpoints and suggestions for practical solutions
As a passionate Agile professional, dedicated to Agile adoption, do you sometimes encounter resistance when talking to other departments in your company? Do they struggle to connect the dots between agile values, principles & practices and measurable business outcomes? Are perceptions of Agile being flabby and wasteful preventing people from tasting it? Would it help to complement Agile with a Lean Diet? Join George Tsai as he helps us explore Agile, Lean and if they might complement each other. This will be a provocative conversation so bring your curiosity and an open mind and prepare to be challenged.
Scrum Deutschland 2018 - Wolfgang Hilpert - Are you agile enough to succeed w...Wolfgang Hilpert
How do digital innovation and the adoption of Agile methods within the enterprise fit together?
What prerequisites are needed to achieve Business Agility?
What influence does the leadership culture have on the success of the Agile transformation?
What features of a modern leadership role are needed to win in the age of digitization and agility? What does „Leadership Agility“ mean and why is this a critical success factor for the transformation?
What do typical hurdles of an Agile transformation look like?
How can we measure the success of the transformation?
From Product Vision to Story Map - Lean / Agile Product shapingJérôme Kehrli
A lot of Software Engineering projects fail for a lack of shared vision due to poor communication among people involved in the project.
A sound maintenance of the product backlog can only be achieved if all the people have a good understanding of what they have to do (common vision).
Roman Pichler, in a post originally written in Jul 16 2012, has proposed a really interesting approach: use various canvas to create and share product vision and product backlog creation and refinement.
This presentation is a drive through these various boards and canvas that should be designed in prior to any product development: the Product Vision, the Lean Canvas, The Product Definition and the Story Map.
Ideas are never a problem. Each team working on a software project knows how easy is to fill the backlog with 100 new things to build. The most challenging part comes when it’s necessary to make decisions about what to include or exclude. How can we connect the work to high-level business results, and at the same time, leave the space for exploring uncertainty? This talk describes an outcome-first approach to strategy and prioritization. With examples coming from the real-life experience, it shows how it’s possible to balance team autonomy and a global product direction. How a value-based prioritization creates an adaptive, learning culture, enabling cross-functional and collaborative decision making.
In our first class, we’ll discuss the various characteristics and types of products, paying particular attention to the product lifecycle. We’ll introduce the idea of a business model, and discuss the various risks that products might face in different parts of the product lifecycle. We’ll review a brief history of project and product management, and discuss the differences between the two.
Many large scale agile transformations can be very cookie cutter implementations that feel static and rigid. What if we could loosen things up a bit by incorporating some of the latest innovations in the agile community? Examples that come to mind are practices like dynamic re-teaming, mob programming, no estimates, and others.
Mixins are just that: practices that you blend in to customize your framework to better fit your needs. They provide an injection of creativity in terms of the practices that we use to define and guide large scale transformations.
In order to maintain consistent branding, we have to have a process that enables easy understanding of the guidelines and also provides for review of collateral when there is more than simple customization. The brand guidelines will provide specific examples of what we can and can’t do.
We will also have a template system that should facilitate ease of development and the ability to stay within brand guidelines, but there will be occasions that something new is requested or a template must be modified to fit a particular situation. The following rules of approval are provided to help determine when something in development must be approved.
1. Part one Post an executive summary of your Comprehensive Proje.docxambersalomon88660
1. Part one: Post an executive summary of your Comprehensive Project in the body of a post in this Discussion Board (do not use attachments). An executive summary is a 10% synopsis of a larger document that outlines the purpose, planned processes, actual processes, findings, and recommendations for the project. Chief executive officers (CEOs) often read and assess executive summaries before deciding to read entire reports. Consequently, the summary must be a high-quality narrative that demonstrates the significance of the work, addresses all the important issues being undertaken – the seven GP questions are important issues - shows, the objectivity of research and analysis underpinning the report, and establishes the credibility of the resulting conclusions. 250 to 300 words
About your company:
Your abilities in international management have been recognized, and your consulting assistance has been requested. The company Quasimoto Enterprises has been approached by a reputed Chinese firm that wants exclusive production and selling rights for one of its new high-tech products. The company has been looking for a strategic partner for the production of this product to reduce costs. Hence, Quasimoto Enterprises is very interested in exploring the possibility of developing relationships with this Chinese firm. This deal is very critical to growth of Quasimoto in the international market. Both parties are anxious and preparing for their first meeting in a month’s time to move this deal forward. This is the first time Quasimoto is doing business with China, and this is also the case with the Chinese firm.
2. Part Two: Please review the executive summaries of other students, and provide an objective assessment and constructive feedback that will help strengthen the effectiveness of their efforts and the quality of their finished reports.

Collaboration is and always has been a central factor for project success. In times of international projects and virtual team environments collaboration is more important than ever. Technology can help overcome geographical boundaries to active collaboration. Indeed, technology has become an enabler of communication and collaboration. And yet collaboration is not about technology. It is about people and human interactions.
Technology can enable, facilitate and promote collaboration. Provided we are aware of the limitations and possible pitfalls of collaboration tools. This presentation identifies possible pitfalls. And it lays out a roadmap how to overcome them and successfully utilize collaboration tools - without becoming slaves of our own collaboration tools.
