The document provides an overview of the Enterprise Agility Model presented by Damon Poole. It discusses key aspects of the model including how it addresses issues that arise from diluting agile practices across large organizations. The model focuses on establishing agile practices at the team level and provides mechanisms for cross-team synchronization. It also advocates for tooling and organizational structures that specifically support enterprise-wide agility.
How to Measure Agility Project Success in Business TermsEthan Ram
A session I gave in Agile Israel 2015 conference about measuring the success of transforming a company operations using agility/lean methodologies. I'm presenting several KPIs from different departments - evidence to a significant improvement that resulted from the agility projects we have taken.

G3 Model – A Practical Lean Approach to Improve Technology Delivery in Banks
Mr. Philippe Guenet, Executive Delivery Manager, GFT
2008 was not only the bursting of the credit bubble, but also the explosion of the technical debt in banks. Years / decades of silo-organisations, growth based acquisition and IT legacy led to high cost of ownership and quasi paralysis when faced with high demand on technology resulting from Regulatory changes and Digitalisation. The adoption of Agile aimed to change this but it is slow coming. As a professional service organisation we often feel powerless, like most of our stakeholders, in driving better software delivery lifecycle. We have analysed the blockers step by step and established a new delivery model mixing Lean and Agile to overcome the constraints. In this talk we will review the typical patterns of IT waste and the practical solutions we experimented with to drive a more efficient delivery of technology – now in its 3rd generation (G3 model).
Many doubt it to be so, but Agile Development and supporting Agile software DOES have a place among Government Agencies. Tune in to see the successes and failures as the FBI attempted to utilize Agile Development practices
This webinar will provide guidance for proper planning and managing, in order to get your distributed teams working smoothly and effectively. Prerequisites: A working knowledge of Lean and Scrum NPD methods (stand-up meetings, user stories, backlog, sprints, burn-down charts, etc.)
We will cover the following topics in this webinar:
· Qualifying and monitoring distributed partners
· Planning an Agile project
· Project execution across time-zones and cultures
· Encouraging true Innovation and Collaboration
· Effective Internet tools
· Q&A

Leveraging Cloud data to optimize your product decisions and Agile processes ...AgileSparks
In this session we will share innovative directions in which the Hewlett Packard Agile Manager development team, leverages big data analytics to optimize its agile processes and align with customer feedback.
We will focus on
- What are challenges of developing a an Enterprise product in continuous delivery
- Personas involved in the process and their related challenges
- Importance of Customer feedback and incorporating it in the development process
We will discuss how production data is utilized to support decision making, prioritization and continuous improvement in development ,quality and product usability.
Building upon well established Scrum, XP, and lean software development methods, agile scaling frameworks such as Dean Leffingwell's Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) and Scott Ambler's Disciplined Agile Delivery (DAD) address large, complex software delivery initiatives through their full delivery lifecycle from project initiation to production. These frameworks have received significant interest in both federal government and private industries, recognizing the need for continued team-based iterative and incremental adaptive approaches to software development, balanced with scaling processes and factors at the Program and Portfolio levels and organizational governance models and guidance for large enterprise engagements. This session will provide a brief overview of these two agile scaling models, address the benefits of what both are trying to accomplish, and compare and contrast specific similarities and differences.
This presentation will give you a great overview of how you can execute agile program planning, namely using the scaled agile framework in JIRA. We will describe the journey from an early stage of Agile adoption and show a typical path to adopt the Scaled Agile Framework. In order to support the effort, scaling tools are important. We will show you how JIRA, a very popular Agile tool, can be used to manage the process.
There are a lot of choices and alternatives for getting started with Agile. It can be confusing. This talk will give you a brief guided tour of Agile methodologies so that you have some understanding of how they are similar and how they differ. We'll cover some of the history of iterative development and waterfall as well as the Agile Manifesto to provide context. At the end of this, you will have an understanding of key principles and the Agile landscape.

2021 marks the 20 anniversary of the Agile Manifesto. Yet many organizations are still struggling to clearly improve value delivery for their customers. In this talk Scott Ambler and Mark Lines explain why agile has struggled in the past and what we can do about it. Go beyond agile rhetoric, agile methods and frameworks and learn how to optimize agility for your situation, not others. We can do better, and it is not difficult. Disciplined Agile can help. The journey starts with an investment in learning, optimizing for your situation, and then removing obstacles to accelerate delivery and delight your customers.
In the past two decades, Scrum has become the standard for agile development, used in some form today by 90 percent of agile teams. As Scrum starts its third decade, it’s not the fresh-faced process framework it once was. Yes, it has met—and dealt with—commercial, technical, philosophical, and practical challenges. Dave West discusses the past, present, and future of Scrum, using real data from more than 200,000 open assessments and 50,000 professional assessments to describe its challenges and evolution. Learn how to: (1) add the development infrastructure for continuous delivery; (2) define the systems engineering to manage the operational requirements from the start; and (3) create architectures to simplify the challenges of large-scale development. Learn how, in an industry that survives on the bleeding edge, there will continue to be a role for Scrum with its events, artifacts, and roles and how Scrum can continue to evolve.
Real world experience from Microsoft - Deniz ErcoskunAgileSparks
Microsoft developer division has implemented SCRUM while developing Visual Studio 2012, and TFS 2012. In this talk we will cover information on this implementation. You will learn about why Microsoft has decided to implement SCRUM, best practices that was helpful for us. How implementing SCRUM has changed our cadence and product delivery cycle. The content will be our developer division SCRUM journey. We are not pure SCRUM put at future leavel we are. I will also discuss which part of our process is SCRUm which part still is not.
Scrum & Kanban - Better Together? Talk delivered at Agile Boston w/ Dave West of Scrum.org in October 2018
It's time to call an end to this stupid civil war within the agile camp. The best agile teams already know that it is not a choice between Scrum and Kanban, but they are complementary. Scrum teams improve when they start to look at flow inside and outside their sprints. Kanban teams improve when they have a disciplined cadence, and effective Product Ownership and Scrum Mastership.
In this session, we will look at:
Common Ground - The foundations that both approaches highlight
Complementary Practices - what can we add from Kanban to our Scrum and vice versa
Key differences - where you really need to make a choice
Myths - differences that are talked about which really are not there
Going Beyond WIP Limits for Ever-Higher Organizational PerformanceLeanKit

Anatomy of a Agile Product Lifecycle - Eilon Reshef - Agile Israel 2013AgileSparks
At Webcollage, we have been delivering a software-as-a-service web-based solution used by hundreds of the world’s leading brands (Microsoft, P&G, Sony, Pfizer). We have been using an agile development methodology, with new software releases pushed to customers every two weeks, yielding a very high customer satisfaction rates.
The talk will present the anatomy of our agile lifecycle, including:
- How and when does planning occur? How does the roadmap get communicated externally?
- When and how does the content of each iteration get decided? How do features get estimated?
- How do new features flow in and out of the system? How are large features broken down and handled?
- How do features flow within the system (elaboration, development, testing, release)?
- How are urgent requests and tickets handled?
- Communication and visual monitoring tools
- Regular meeting cadence
Introduction to Agility from Saint Louis Day of Dot Net session:

DOES15 - Heather Mickman & Ross Clanton - (Re)building an Engineering Culture...Gene Kim
Heather Mickman, Senior Group Manager, Target
Ross Clanton, Director, Target
This talk will largely be a reflection on the DevOps journey at Target and the focus on (re)building an engineering culture at Target. In the DevOps community you hear a lot of talk about whether you should drive DevOps in to an organization tops down or bottoms up. Well, we did a hybrid of both. It definitely started at Target as a grass roots movement in a few small teams and started to gain broader grassroots momentum when we kicked off our first internal DevOps Days in February 2014. This enabled us to start engaging a community, finding out who had passion for this across our IT organization, and providing them a forum to connect, share, and learn about DevOps awesomeness. We fostered and grew this community by leveraging social media and guerilla marketing to start driving the conversation across our organization as well as demonstrating the success that teams were having. We then leveraged some of this early energy to engage more leader champions to start building the tops down support for DevOps. Now, having completed four DevOps Days conferences at Target, we will share more details on our approach, results, speakers, and topics.
We did much more than just hosting DevOps Days. We tapped in to that growing community to start testing and learning some different approaches and we have lots to share, both in terms of results we’ve achieved and how we’re focusing on changing culture and mindsets. From a technology perspective, we will discuss how we rapidly drove momentum on our automation toolchain across our IT organization. Our vision was to enable and empower all technologists to automate the things that they were accountable for. We pursued this vision in many ways, including Automation hackathons, establishing an embedding/coaching model for our deep SMEs to help teach, open labs, community based support, and even schemed some creative work models that we will share.
The end result of these various activities is driving full stack ownership that will ultimately enable the expansion of CI/CD across our Enterprise. This is the overarching theme and next step in our enterprise transformation. It is through this foundation we are building around culture, tooling, collaborative and flexible work models that will enable our acceleration in 2015. Moving forward, we are leveraging these learnings to shift to more of a full-stack product model for our technology delivery and management. We’re also transforming infrastructure from a model based on technology silos to an end to end infrastructure service model focused on enabling business agility.
These changes haven’t been easy. In fact, we’ve already had a lot of learnings on our journey. We will share some of those key challenges and lessons learned, specifically on talent, culture, and leadership.
Getting a grip on your agile maturity using the ambition chartDerk-Jan de Grood
Main Statement:
Improvements planned in the retrospective do not stand on their own. What is the ambition of your team and how do you share these?
Agile teams access their effectiveness every sprint. The power of retrospectives is that they, when done well, focus on improving in small achievable steps. This ensures that progress is being made and is more than just a far away dream.
Despite the above, I experienced that in and around teams the proposed improvements are measured and valued against the maturity of the agile adoption. I noticed that in several situations people were judging the performance of the team and the proposed improvements against an implicit blueprint; small improvements were fine “for just now” and regarded as a “good first step”. The implication of the above struck me! We all had our own plan and expectations, but these were implicit and not transparent. In reaction I developed the ambition chart. It is a graphical one-pager that gives insight in the current state, the collective ambition and describes the next step to be taken.
The ambition chart can be used to:
-Discus and align expectations and ambition that individual team members have and create a team goal.
-Break big goals into smaller steps
-Prioritize improvement suggestions made in the retrospective
-Manage dependencies between different area’s of improvement
-Focus on the next step that needs to be taken, without being distracted by the end goal
In this presentation I will explain how to make and use an ambition chart. I will explain situations in which it can be beneficial and share some examples of focus areas.
Key Learnings
-Hands-on technique: the ambition chart
-How to plan for small improvements and manage expectations -stakeholders have about agile maturity
-To plan improvements in in one or more teams and keep track of dependencies.
-To plan improvements in in one or more teams and keep track of dependencies.

Talk by Sue Johnston and Shawn Button at Agile and Beyond, Ypsilanti, MI, May 5, 2016
There's a pile of evidence that coaching plays an important role in helping an organization transform to Agile. External coaches can help an organization as it begins to adopt agile practices, but a sustainable Agile adoption requires an organization to stand on their own. Developing an internal coaching team is an important step in becoming self-sufficient. Join Sue Johnston and Shawn Button as they explore the process of building a team of competent internal coaches. Look at identifying coach candidates, putting together and running a coach development program, and creating opportunities for learning on-the-job. Learn about potential bumps in the road - organizational impediments to building coaches - and strategies for overcoming those barriers. Sue and Shawn share their experiences with what works, and what to avoid. Leave with a realistic plan to discover and develop coaches in your organization or those you work with.

Continuous Delivery seeks to deliver increased Business Agility by releasing smaller releases more frequently. For a development team, this may mean shorter sprints or a switch to Kanban. But what about the PMO, testing teams, and release management? To truly leverage Continuous Delivery, enterprises must consider impacts that span functional silos.

Scrum Day Europe 2015 - Scaled Professional ScrumGunther Verheyen
‚Scaling' became the most hyped and at the same time the most diversely interpreted word in the context of agile. The fad and the confusion obfuscate. Despite Scrum being the most adopted framework for agile software development, scaling Scrum in a way that respects Scrum's foundations and principles is a challenge. Many don’t scale the benefits of Scrum, but organizational dysfunctions that remain unaddressed through weak implementations of Scrum.
In his opening keynote of Scrum Day Europe 2015 Gunther shared the views of Scrum.org, the organization of Scrum co-creator Ken Schwaber, on Scaled Professional Scrum.
Gunther shepherds the Professional Series at Scrum.org, is a partner of Ken Schwaber and represents Scrum.org in Europe.
More Agile and LeSS dysfunction - may 2015Rowan Bunning
Whilst becoming proficient at single-team Agile is not easy, scaling to many teams and possibly many sites adds many additional challenges.
Often these challenges include...
1. Water-Scrum-Fall
2. The 'contract game' and its misalignment with "customer collaboration over contract negotiation"
3. Release rigidity - inability to adjust scope and/or release timing in order to maximise value for money
4. Limited visibility and transparency
5. Dependency hell
6. Skills bottlenecks
7. Lack of cross-team learning
8. Lack of design and architectural alignment whilst avoiding 'ivory tower' architecture
9. Inability to resolve organisational mis-alignment issues outside of delivery teams
Not all frameworks marketed as Agile are designed to address these problems.
In this session, we will introduce Large-Scaled Scrum (LeSS) as an organisational design framework and illustrate how it provides solutions to problems that commonly lead to friction, deliver challenges and difficulties realising the benefits of Agile within large programs and product development efforts.
We will outline each organisational dysfunction / scaling challenge, and connect these with the elements of LeSS that avoid the dysfunction or greatly LeSSen the problem

Scaled Professional Scrum - Scrum Days Poland 2015Gunther Verheyen
Gunther Verheyen closed the first edition of the Scrum Days Poland in Warsaw by presenting Scrum.org's vision on "Scaled Professional Scrum". Gunther focused much on how the Nexus implements Scrum for 3-9 Scrum Teams.
This is the full version of the presentation. Time was too short to go through it completely. Highest value was still delivered.
Gunther shepherds the Professional series at Scrum.org and is Ken Schwaber's partner for Europe.
Devops Intro - Devops for Unicorns & DevOps for HorsesBoonNam Goh
An introduction to DevOps including full-fledged DevOps (the so-called DevOps for Unicorns) and legacy application DevOps (the so-called DevOps for Horses).
Startups are continually evangelizing DevOps to be able to reduce risk, hasten feedback and deploy 1000’s of times a day. But what about the rest of the world that comes from Waterfall, Mainframes, Long Release Cycles and Risk Aversion? Learn how one company went from 480 day lead times and 6 month releases to 3 month releases with high levels of automation and increased quality across disparate legacy environments. We will discuss how Optimizing People & Organizations, Increasing the Rate of Learning, Deploying Innovative Tools and Lean System Thinking can help large scale enterprises increase throughput while decreasing cost and risk.
Scrum with value streams - Can you finally get rid of waterfall thinking?Tasktop
Increasingly, DevOps is encouraging organizations to think holistically about the value streams of delivery. Make work visible and look to reduce waste. But agile and Scrum has taught us that complex problems require teams to self-organize, to 'scrum' to make progress. Does that mean that the value streams are continually changing? Does that mean that when you introduce value streams you remove the ability of the Scrum team to self-organize?
In this talk, Dave West Product Owner and CEO of Scrum.org and Mik Kersten CEO of Tasktop discuss the challenges of introducing value streams to a Scrum world and how you can balance flexibility with the structure to enable better flow and deliver more value to customers. They will discuss how to avoid Value-Waterfall-Stream to make sure your stream doesn't become a waterfall and provide a list of potential warning signs for when the process of value streams has become a way of re-introducing traditional waterfall thinking to your product delivery process.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.
GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
