Keep Austin Agile 2017: Projects Are Evil

Agile Velocity

How do you take Agile to the next level, where your organization moves beyond basic Agile delivery to fully acting with Agility in everything you do? How do you move past predictable and productive delivery to fast response to market needs? Many organizations are barred from this level of success by a project-centric mindset, which impedes your ability to maximize value delivery. David Hawks pushes for an evolution of the Agile Manifesto into a set of values and principles for outcome-driven development.

User Stories Suck - Product SIG May 2017

Agile Velocity

Industry studies show more than half of the features we build are rarely or never used. Wouldn’t you like to know much earlier which features are not going to be valued by your market? In this session, we will explore the weaknesses of the current standard Epic/User Story process and discover some new practices to ensure we are building the right features through quick market validation. I will propose a new approach you can try to replace the musty old stale User Story method.

Projects Are Evil - AgileCamp Dallas 2017

Agile Velocity

The document is a presentation by David Hawks from Agile Velocity titled "Projects are Evil". The presentation discusses how projects can be harmful and promotes a value-driven approach over a project-driven one. It encourages participants to think about what they value most and how projects may negatively impact those values. The presentation provides exercises for attendees to evaluate different agile practices and determine which ones help achieve goals like early ROI and team engagement.

Agile Austin Monthly Meeting Feb. 13th - Next Level Agile

Agile Velocity

The document discusses next level agility and how organizations can achieve it. It outlines five stages of agility maturity from superficial to fast. Next level agility provides benefits like faster time to value, organizational agility, and quicker validation of ideas. Six practices are presented to help organizations level up: serving customers over stakeholders, using hypotheses over requirements, objective decision making, goal-driven investment, continuous release, and measuring value over velocity. The document concludes by matching each practice to the values it impacts most.

True Agile Certifications - Purchased or Earned...?

Ravi Verma (SPC, CLP, PST, EBMgt Consultant)

* What role do certifications play in us choosing the people we work with and trust? * Especially when it comes to Agile Certifications - how do we evaluate alternatives to choose the most reliable Certifications in the market? * How does the way in which we approach certifications in our professional life compare to the way in which we approach certifications in our personal life - for instance, the way in which we might choose a pediatrician for our child? This presentation takes us on a guided inquiry through these questions.

(Why) Will Agile Work This Time

Ravi Verma (SPC, CLP, PST, EBMgt Consultant)

Do you sometimes feel that your Agile teams are running harder and harder - trying to become more Agile, but find themselves in the same place or even worse than they were before? Before you pull out your hair, trying to do more of the same, is it possible that your Agile Transformation is being run like a Waterfall Program? In this presentation, we will explore 5 common real-world signs of waterfall thinking contaminating Agile Transformations. We will also explore some experiments we could try out to adapt the structure of the transformation so we create eco-systems more compatible with Agile.

SAFe – A dangerous weapon. Techniques to implementing a lasting adoption of t...

Yuval Yeret

Please join us on Wednesday January 27 in Burlington MA starting at 6:30 pm as senior enterprise agility coach Yuval Yeret describes several techniques that can be used to produce a lasting and productive adoption of the Scaled Agile Framework. The Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) is a powerful and popular framework for implementing agile at large scale across the enterprise. However many organizations see their implementation of SAFe stall and even backfire since the adoption is mandated from its organizational leaders, instead of engaged teams participating and choosing their SAFe. In this talk we will examine some dangerous implementation anti-patterns as well as healthier alternatives. You will learn some concrete techniques that help live up to the Lean/SAFe principles of respecting and engaging people. We will discuss field-proven ideas such as pull-based crossing the chasm approach to implementation, use of open space as part of the different SAFe ceremonies, and how Open Space Agility can combine with SAFe.

The Agile Way

Yves Lin

This document discusses the Agile development methodology. It begins by comparing the traditional "waterfall" development approach to building a house to the Agile approach of growing a tree. It then discusses some of the key challenges of adopting Agile, such as replacing manual testing with automated testing, empowering self-organizing cross-functional teams, and accepting and adapting to changes. The document provides an overview of the Agile way as making impact fast through cross-functional teams with high delegation and frequent feedback to quickly deliver to customers using facts and data. It concludes by offering tips for getting started with Agile such as forming cross-functional volunteer teams, choosing an appropriately sized initial project, and allowing time for learning.

Why Are We Stuck? Getting Agile Teams On The Path To Continuous Improvement

Agile 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.

Agile Transformations, the Good, the Bad and the Ugly

Rally Software

The document summarizes the keynote presentation by Wanda Marginean on agile transformations. It discusses that agile transformations can go well when there is a clear vision for why the transformation is happening, principles are established to guide how the transformation will occur, and the right practices are implemented. It also discusses how transformations can go poorly when the why, how, or what is lacking, such as by not establishing a clear vision, not slowing down to speed up, or not properly implementing practices like retrospectives and empowering teams. The presentation calls for organizations to seriously consider why they are transforming, establish principles and practices to guide the transformation, and take action to ensure successful implementation.

Scrum levels danny_kovatch_agile_sparks

AgileSparks

This document discusses different levels of Scrum implementation from Level 0 (Waterfall) to Level 3 (Automation). It provides examples of characteristics and behaviors typical of each level. Level 0 focuses on requirements, design, code, and test phases with code freeze and hardening periods. Level 1 incorporates some Scrum terminology but still behaves largely like Waterfall. Level 2 starts adopting a more collaborative mindset within fixed-length sprints. Level 3 fully embraces Agile principles with self-organizing teams, test-driven development, and continuous improvement. Guidelines are provided for progressing through the levels over time with management commitment and patience.

Self Managing Scrum Teams: 4 Building Blocks & An Evidence Based Approach

Ravi Verma (SPC, CLP, PST, EBMgt Consultant)

We have all heard about how important self-organization / self-management is to the effectiveness of Scrum Teams. * But what is self-management? * What factors can enable of hinder it? * What can we do if some of our teams are not self-managing? * How can we apply empiricism to create transparency into the current state of self-management and then inspect and adapt the environment to create the desired result? This presentation helps us explore the 4 building blocks that create self-management. For each building block, we explore 5 enabling factors . We will also explore a way to gather evidence that creates transparency into the current state of self-management in the team so we can inspect and adapt to minimize undesirable variances. Finally, we co-relate these building blocks with Scrum and discuss how the Scrum Framework and Agile Practices can be used to build strong, self-managing teams.

Agile's Future Wave

machielg

The document discusses Agile development practices and their adoption over time. It notes that while Agile has gained popularity, not all projects using Agile see significant improvements. It questions whether success is truly related to using Agile practices, and suggests Agile addresses symptoms but not underlying causes like complexity. The document predicts the next wave in development will need to further increase productivity, effectiveness, and predictability by specializing roles and sharing expertise to reduce complexity.

Next Level Agile @ ProductCamp Austin 20 - 2/2018

Agile Velocity

Today most Agile teams are trying to achieve predictable, fast delivery. While that may keep your zombie competitors at bay, it’s no longer good enough especially in this highly competitive, rapidly changing playing field. It’s not just about Agile team execution anymore. Next Level Agility is about the ability of the entire organizations to quickly adapt to market changes. In this session at PCS20, David Hawks shared principles and practices that are the future of Agile organizations. Together, he and the audience reset the bar on how great Agile organizations operate by moving beyond practices like user stories, project plans, stakeholder feedback, continuous integration, and velocity, and towards a new Next Level Agile Manifesto with an emphasis on Discovery over Execution.

Agile Testing alliance

The document discusses the role of testers in agile development. It begins with an introduction of the presenter, Aditya Garg, who has experience in testing, automation, and agile methodologies. It then defines agile as being responsive to change through iterative and incremental development. The common perception that testers are not needed in agile is addressed, noting that testers must adapt by having a collaborative mindset rather than "us vs them". While some perceive testers may become extinct, the presenter argues they have a huge opportunity if they change to meet shorter timelines and be a team player in agile.

Pitfalls Of An Agile Transformation - Presented for Dallas Agile Leadership N...

Agile Velocity

This document discusses common pitfalls that organizations face when undergoing an agile transformation. It identifies the top 6 pitfalls as: 1) viewing agile as just a process change, 2) not providing slack time for teams to learn new ways of working, 3) lack of leadership alignment, 4) focus on delivering business value instead of the team or organization, 5) only focusing on agile at the team level instead of the entire organization, and 6) cultural misalignment. The document advocates for training, coaching and assessing where organizations are at in their agile journey to help avoid these pitfalls and ensure a successful transformation.

Foundations of the Scaled Agile Framework® (SAFe® ) 4.5

netmind

El Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) es una base de conocimientos para adoptar métodos de trabajo ágiles en grandes organizaciones. SAFe presenta de forma gráfica un modelo de gestión para escalar la aplicación de las prácticas ágiles de un equipo a la gestión de programas, y de la gestión de programas al conjunto de la organización. Este modelo para la adopción y transformación ágil de las organizaciones fué diseñado por Dean Leffingwell, a partir de sus libros “Agile Software Requeriments: Lean Requeriments for Teams Programs and the Enterprise” y “Scaling Software Agility: Best Practices for Large Enterprise”, y se ha implementado con éxito en grandes organizaciones de todo el mundo. 60 de las 100 compañías más grandes de Estados Unidos están utilizando SAFe como guía de referencia para la adopción de Agile. El modelo de gestión propuesto por SAFe cubre el conjunto de la organización, desde los equipos, hasta los niveles de mayor responsabilidad. El modelo estructura en tres niveles: Equipo, Programa y Portfolio, aunque en la última versión, SAFe 4.0, introduce un 4º nivel opcional para soluciones de extremadamente grandes y complejas. Para cada uno de estos niveles SAFe define los roles, estructuras, actividades, artefactos, prácticas y técnicas adecuadas.

ADAPTing to Agile for Continued Success

Mike Cohn

The document discusses expectations and challenges around adopting agile practices. It summarizes that while some teams see 5-10x improvements, these outcomes are not typical. Common expectations that agile will be easy and provide guaranteed high returns can lead to perceptions of agile "failing" if not met. The document advocates that success is becoming incrementally better over time rather than an endpoint state. It also discusses how expectations, desire, ability, promotion and transfer are needed for successful adoption and preventing approaches from being done half-heartedly.

People Metrics: How to Use Team Data to Produce Positive Change

Amin Astaneh

This document discusses the importance of measuring "people metrics" in software teams to understand operational costs and identify opportunities for improvement. It provides examples of useful people metrics like time spent on different types of work, operational load, slack time, happiness surveys, and interruptions. The document recommends tracking these metrics over time using tools like ticketing systems, custom scripts, Grafana, StatsD, and Google Forms. The goals of people metrics are to increase transparency, justify resources, reduce toil, and improve processes and throughput. Regular analysis and communication of people metrics to leadership can enable positive change.

Modern Portfolio Management Intro

Gaetano Mazzanti

The document discusses modern portfolio management approaches, contrasting them with traditional approaches. It addresses questions around choosing, coordinating, and monitoring projects and initiatives. Traditional portfolio management is described as struggling with these issues due to assumptions of certainty and a mechanistic view of work. Modern approaches emphasize accepting uncertainty, coordinating initiatives at different levels of detail, and managing demand to make best use of limited capabilities. Techniques discussed include using different "flight levels" to coordinate work, using portfolio boards and capacity tokens, applying policies for conflicting demands, and prioritizing work based on cost of delay and urgency.

User Stories Suck - David Hawks & Reese Schmit - IIBA Austin January 2019

Agile Velocity

The User Story concept was invented almost 20 years ago, and it’s time for an update. This outdated process supports an old way of working focused on predictable requirements delivery instead of product discovery. Wouldn’t you like to know much earlier which features are not going to be valued by your market? We need techniques that shorten the feedback loop with customers, not stakeholders. We need to prioritize based on riskiest assumptions and iterate quickly through small experiments in order to (in)validate our ideas as fast as possible.

Embracing Agile Leadership - Don MacIntyre

agilemaine

This document contains slides from a presentation on embracing agile leadership. It discusses how agile projects can fail due to issues like a lack of management support, inconsistent processes, and organizational culture clashes. Common causes of failed agile projects are listed, with the top issue being a mismatch between company philosophy and agile values. The presentation emphasizes that leadership can mitigate many failure risks and outlines agile principles, practices like Scrum and Kanban, scaling techniques, and developing leadership agility. It argues the need for leaders to empower teams through coaching and collaboration instead of directing.

Launch Your Streaming Platforms in Minutes

Roshan Dwivedi

The claim of launching a streaming platform in minutes might be a bit of an exaggeration, but there are services that can significantly streamline the process. Here's a breakdown: Pros of Speedy Streaming Platform Launch Services: No coding required: These services often use drag-and-drop interfaces or pre-built templates, eliminating the need for programming knowledge. Faster setup: Compared to building from scratch, these platforms can get you up and running much quicker. All-in-one solutions: Many services offer features like content management systems (CMS), video players, and monetization tools, reducing the need for multiple integrations. Things to Consider: Limited customization: These platforms may offer less flexibility in design and functionality compared to custom-built solutions. Scalability: As your audience grows, you might need to upgrade to a more robust platform or encounter limitations with the "quick launch" option. Features: Carefully evaluate which features are included and if they meet your specific needs (e.g., live streaming, subscription options). Examples of Services for Launching Streaming Platforms: Muvi [muvi com] Uscreen [usencreen tv] Alternatives to Consider: Existing Streaming platforms: Platforms like YouTube or Twitch might be suitable for basic streaming needs, though monetization options might be limited. Custom Development: While more time-consuming, custom development offers the most control and flexibility for your platform. Overall, launching a streaming platform in minutes might not be entirely realistic, but these services can significantly speed up the process compared to building from scratch. Carefully consider your needs and budget when choosing the best option for you.

Hand Rolled Applicative User ValidationCode Kata

Philip Schwarz

Could you use a simple piece of Scala validation code (granted, a very simplistic one too!) that you can rewrite, now and again, to refresh your basic understanding of Applicative operators <*>, <*, *>? The goal is not to write perfect code showcasing validation, but rather, to provide a small, rough-and ready exercise to reinforce your muscle-memory. Despite its grandiose-sounding title, this deck consists of just three slides showing the Scala 3 code to be rewritten whenever the details of the operators begin to fade away. The code is my rough and ready translation of a Haskell user-validation program found in a book called Finding Success (and Failure) in Haskell - Fall in love with applicative functors.
