Agile adoption tales from the coalfaceNish Mahanty
This talk discusses how to fail with an Agile change transformation, and lays out some practical tips for successfully adopting agile software delivery processes within your organisation. Presented at Telstra, Superpartners, and several Meetups.
Brief Intro to Agile, Benefits & TransitionMichael Sahota
This presentation was given to a client at the start of an assessment phase to explain to the staff why Agile is of value and briefly explain how it works. We also explained the typical approach to transition and what would happen during the assessment. The presentation was given to Engineering and related groups. This was prepared and delivered jointly with Gerry Kirk.
Please email us if you would like a download.
This presentation talks about importance of changing mindset by different stakeholders involved in Agile, for the expected outcome to be delivered by Agile adoption. It talks about various scenarios or apprehensions many people from different roles would have in Agile adoption and inputs on handling this change management exercise effectively.
This presentation talks about different tools & techniques to conduct 'meaningful' retrospection meeting, not just efficient ones. If the team members feel that the Retros are meaningful and it contributes in continuous improvement of the team environment, only then the team members would be willing to participate enthusiastically in the retros.
User Story Cycle Time - An Universal Agile Maturity MeasurementEthan Huang
Trying to define a comprehensive CMMI like Agile Maturity Model?
If you're running all Scrum meetings but cannot deliver every sprint, you're not agile at all, if you don't follow any Scrum format but you're delivering small features every couple of weeks you're still Agile - deliver the highest value in the shortest time.
User Story Cycle Time - one universal Agile maturity measurement you might be able to use in your Organization cross different teams.
Deliver on time and improve communication with the business to minimize project failure.
Your Challenge
The Agile evangelists are having trouble converting others to the Agile philosophy.
Your team is facing pressure to deliver projects in a smaller time frame. The Waterfall approach is causing projects to go over budget, misunderstanding of project owners’ expectations, and late delivery to the end-customer.
Projects that get implemented successfully may be susceptible to problems as the software gets older and crucial changes are too expensive.
A consolidation roadmap that is based on an easy-to-implement method will ease the burden on resource and infrastructure maintenance.
Our Advice
Critical Insight
Agile is not suitable for all organizations, or all projects. Carefully select pilot projects that have the greatest chance of success and determine the right requirements or risk significant cost overruns to fix problems or roll back development.
An Agile rollout may require peripheral projects to be accelerated.
Agile will modify internal roles and processes. Get ready for change management.
Impact and Result
Agile will improve communication and transparency between teams and stakeholders, which will lead to higher quality products and fluid team dynamics.
The success of the Agile pilot should be used to build the case for an organizational-wide deployment.
In order for your organization to stay competitive, it must place focus on delivering projects at a quicker pace with the right features.
How to measure the outcome of agile transformationRahul Sudame
This presentation covers details on how we can measure that Agile Transformation is providing the intended outcome or not. I presents a research & survey which tries to understand how different people measure value of Agile Transformation
Cloud computing is an emerging technology that
offers opportunities for organisations to hire precisely those ICT
services they need (SaaS/PaaS/IaaS). Small and medium sized
enterprises (SMEs) can benefit a lot from software services that
are managed in a professional way. Cloud computing enables
them to overcome restrictions from low budgets and limited
resources for ICT. However, cloud adoption is challenging and
requires a clear cloud roadmap. Organisations lack knowledge of
cloud computing and are usually challenged by the adoption of
cloud services. In most cases, SMEs do not know what aspects
they have to take into consideration for a sound decision in
favour or against the cloud. A cloud readiness assessment is a
general approach to facilitate this decision-making process.
The presented study focuses on the development of an assessment framework for cloud services (SaaS) in the domain of enterprise content management (ECM) and social software (ecollaboration).
Exploring Agile Transformation and Scaling PatternsMike Cottmeyer
The goal of any enterprise agile adoption strategy is NOT to adopt agile. Companies adopt agile to achieve better business outcomes. Large organizations have no time for dogma and one-size-fits-all thinking when it comes to introducing agile practices. These companies need pragmatic guidance for safely and incrementally introducing structure, principles, and ultimately practices that will result in greater long term, sustainable business results. This talk will introduce a framework for safely, pragmatically, and incrementally introducing agile to help you achieve your business goals.
These slides quickly illustrate how you can successfully adopt Agile to improve your development efforts. In addition to discussing how and why teams are interested in Agile, it covers some of the challenges of adopting it and suggestions for ensuring success.

How to Jumpstart Enterprise Agile AdoptionTechWell
Want to get a jumpstart on agile adoption in your organization? Begin by leveraging a roadmap that Intuit has used for rolling out enterprise agile to its business units. While there is no single way to bring enterprise agile into your organization, Alan Padula describes a model that has worked repeatedly. The important first step is to create a vision of what full agile adoption looks like. Once a rich vision is created describing what people will be doing and how they will be doing it, create a roadmap, a time-sequenced plan with milestones. Each milestone has a description of everyone’s job responsibilities, the measurements to take along the way, the personal and business benefit, and the set of activities planned in order to achieve each succeeding milestone. Key transition activities include training, infrastructure, change leadership, planning, and governance. Join Alan for the jumpstart you need to successfully adopt agile in your organization.

Artificial intelligence (AI) offers new opportunities to radically reinvent the way we do business. This study explores how CEOs and top decision makers around the world are responding to the transformative potential of AI.
The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.
