A basic introduction to enterprise agile/scaled agile.
How to align management strategy to support programs and the teams that make up those programs.
- Talking points are in the notes section of each PowerPoint slide.
This document discusses using Kanban at the enterprise level to scale agile delivery. It proposes a Kanban framework with boards at the portfolio, program, and team levels to visualize and manage workflow and work-in-progress limits across business change management and IT development management. Example Kanban boards are presented to illustrate how epics and stories would flow through the different levels from initial planning to delivery.
The document discusses responsibilities and competencies for an Agile/Lean Project Management Office (PMO). It describes how a PMO can support Agile projects through stable teams, empowering teams, limiting work in progress, and regularly reassessing value delivery. It also discusses portfolio management responsibilities like achieving continuous flow of business value through short cycle times and validated learning over business cases. The document recommends incremental funding approaches and consistency across processes to support Agile/Lean practices.

Lean Agile Scotland - Kanban in the Scottish Governmentmygov_scot
How Kanban practices have helped us respond to four key challenges within mygov.scot. Presented at Lean Agile Scotland 2015 by Jose Casal & Calum Shepherd.
Managing Projects/Releases using Lean/Agile techniquesYuval Yeret
Learn how to plan, manage and measure Projects/Releases using Lean/Agile techniques
Emphasis on visibility, estimation techniques, different approaches to commitments and buffering.
More and more new words come up in the context of Agile, now that Agile itself has "crossed the chasm" and is accepted as the de-facto standard of software development. But even though a lot of these new terms fit under the Agile umbrella as defined in the "Agile Manifesto" it is sometimes hard to get to the bottom of these concepts.
This presentation does exactly that - it goes to the bottom of Agile, Lean and Kanban. Without much ado we'll revisit the fundamental ideas behind Agile and then investigate Lean and the Kanban Method in comparison. Not only will you get introduced more closely to Kanbans, WIP-Limits and the pull principle, but I'll also share my experience how the different approaches fit together and complement each other in various settings.
Kanban - an alternative path to agility (Agile Russia)David Anderson
This document summarizes a presentation given by David J. Anderson at Agile Days Moscow 2014 about the Kanban method. The presentation introduces Kanban as an alternative path to agility that uses visualization, work-in-progress limits, and feedback loops to create an adaptive capability. It describes how Kanban systems use virtual signal cards to limit and manage workflow, and how visualizing work and policies on boards can improve flow. The document also discusses how Kanban can scale in enterprises by scaling effective management, and how it aims to improve agility through reduced lead times, increased predictability, and empowerment without loss of control.
The document discusses agile portfolio management practices at an oil company. It provides an overview of the company's context and challenges it faced that led it to adopt agile practices. It then describes the framework used, including a strategic, tactical and operational view. Key aspects of the framework include prioritization of initiatives, portfolio planning and execution. Metrics, reporting and governance structures are also discussed. Benefits realized included agreed priorities, improved communication and increased flexibility to adapt to changes.

Beyond Kanban: Lean Thinking for Agile Teamsavpereira
The growing interest about Kanban in the Agile Community seems to reduce learning about Lean Thinking to one principle only: PULL. This talk was prepared for the Agile PT 2011 conference and provides an overview of the 14 Management Principles for developing a Lean Culture and how IT frameworks such as SCRUM or KANBAN for Software Development apply them.
It introduces Lean Leardership and People Development principles as well as fundamental Lean Practices beyond kanban such as Value Stream Mapping, Continuous Flow, Leveling (Heijunka), Stop and Fix (Jidoka), Visual Standards, Visual Controls and A3 Problem Solving.
Knowledge about these often overlooked principles and practices will help agile teams to see the whole and better understand the lean concepts behind agile frameworks such as SCRUM and KANBAN. They will be better equipped to create learning and adaptive organizations by solving problems in the implementation of agile
frameworks instead of spending time discussing which framework is better. After all, the goal is to "be lean and agile" and not to "do Lean" or "do Agile"

Key concepts;
- How traditional PMO and organisation are setup
- Legacy mindset for are alive and still driving the majority of portfolio/organisation behaviours
- Comparisons of traditional and agile/lean mindsets
- Principles of agile/lean portfolio/organisation management
- Organisational structure
- Annual vs Incremental funding (Beyond Budgeting)
- Limiting Work in Progress i.e. its only matters how many projects you finish, not start.
- Managing and visualising capability
- Coping with portfolio complexity through experimentation and validated learning
- Removing the concept of projects and focusing on continuous delivery of value
- Benefits of agile/lean portfolio/organisation management
This deck was compiled using referenced materials and the support of David Joyce (@dpjoyce) and Ian Carroll (@caza_no7)

Reengineering The IT Operating Model to Embrace The Power Of The Cloudaccenture
The document discusses how traditional companies have failed to realize the full potential of cloud computing by simply adopting the new technology without reengineering their IT operating models. It argues that in order to harness the power of the cloud, companies need more nimble models that prioritize experimentation and innovation over rigid command-and-control structures. Specifically, the document recommends that companies create self-contained "service teams" to plan, build, and deliver services in a collaborative way without organizational barriers like traditional incumbents have.
P3O (Portfolio, Programme and Project Offices) is a set of principles, processes and techniques to help organizations successfully establish support structures for projects, programs and portfolios. It provides models for portfolio, programme and project offices to strategically plan and support business changes. Implementing a P3O can align projects to strategic objectives, reduce costs by stopping non-beneficial initiatives, and improve delivery success. P3O qualifications test understanding of the framework and ability to apply it to project situations.

We have new ways to force execution plans in SQL Server. In SQL Server 2017, you can even let SQL Server temporarily force query plans for you and test if it works well!
In this session, you'll learn how forcing plans with Query Store compares with the older technology of Plan Guides. You'll learn how to tell when a plan has been forced, what "morally equivalent plans" are (and why they're a good thing), how to see if a query has a high variation in performance, and how to decide, "Should I force this plan?" and "Should I let SQL Server force plans for me?"
About Kendra: Kendra Little teaches database administrators and developers how to speed up their Microsoft SQL Servers consistently. She is a Microsoft Certified Master in SQL Server, a Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (MVP), and one of the few artists in the world to draw both dinosaurs and databases.
The Kanban Iceberg: How do you help teams for whom Kanban is simply card walls?Matthew Philip
Presentation as delivered to the Lean Kanban France 2014 conference, November 5, 2014
"The Kanban Iceberg: How do you help teams for whom Kanban is simply card walls?"
For many teams, kanban is an iceberg: They see only the single practice of visualization, but the mass of the system is below the surface in the form of the other practices, principles and values. This experience report details the journey that one company took to break the barrier of a wide but shallow kanban implementation at scale.
Lean Development Practices for Enterprise AgileTechWell
Enterprise agile initiatives require strategic, portfolio, product, and team perspectives at all levels. Alan Shalloway has found that lean software development principles help integrate all of these perspectives into a cohesive, actionable whole. With a combination of lean science, lean management, lean team, and lean learning methods, Alan shows how your organization can prepare for enterprise agility. Lean science focuses on the “laws” present in all software development projects. Lean management empowers executives to contribute to the context within which teams can flourish. Lean team methods are actualized in Kanban approaches. Lean learning empowers everyone in the organization to improve his skills and practices. Alan shows how you can make these four perspectives work together so that enterprise software development teams build the right software in the right way and continue to improve their practices along the way.
A talk by Alan Shalloway at the European Lean IT Summit 2012. This talk provides 2 essential meta-patterns of Lean: focus on value and eliminating delays. These can be used to guide the creation of an effective and efficient workflow. It presents four case studies, each building on the concepts of the other, to provide actionable advice for your own implementations.

Break Through Agile Transformation StagnationTasktop
Transformation to Agile at scale typically takes 1-3 years. There is a pattern of adoption that most companies go through that achieves initial gains, but tends to stagnate after the initial improvement. In order for true value delivery to significantly increase, a mindset shift that ties business strategy all the way down to the team level is required.
In this webinar, Tasktop VP of Industry Strategy, Betty Zakheim, and Net Objectives CEO, Al Shalloway, discuss the challenges causing Agile transformation stagnation and what must be done to solve them.

The document discusses how to build an agile innovation pipeline that focuses on delivering the right solutions quickly and effectively. It advocates hypothesizing solutions rather than prioritizing requirements, and using continuous feedback loops to guide development. An agile innovation pipeline would instrument product management, engineering, and customers to determine value through continuous flow, stealth features, and automated testing. The goal is to discover what customers truly need and want through validated learning, rather than following rigid plans.

Hand Rolled Applicative User ValidationCode KataPhilip 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.

Measures in SQL (SIGMOD 2024, Santiago, Chile)Julian Hyde
SQL has attained widespread adoption, but Business Intelligence tools still use their own higher level languages based upon a multidimensional paradigm. Composable calculations are what is missing from SQL, and we propose a new kind of column, called a measure, that attaches a calculation to a table. Like regular tables, tables with measures are composable and closed when used in queries.
SQL-with-measures has the power, conciseness and reusability of multidimensional languages but retains SQL semantics. Measure invocations can be expanded in place to simple, clear SQL.
To define the evaluation semantics for measures, we introduce context-sensitive expressions (a way to evaluate multidimensional expressions that is consistent with existing SQL semantics), a concept called evaluation context, and several operations for setting and modifying the evaluation context.

Consistent toolbox talks are critical for maintaining workplace safety, as they provide regular opportunities to address specific hazards and reinforce safe practices.
These brief, focused sessions ensure that safety is a continual conversation rather than a one-time event, which helps keep safety protocols fresh in employees' minds. Studies have shown that shorter, more frequent training sessions are more effective for retention and behavior change compared to longer, infrequent sessions.
Engaging workers regularly, toolbox talks promote a culture of safety, empower employees to voice concerns, and ultimately reduce the likelihood of accidents and injuries on site.
The traditional method of conducting safety talks with paper documents and lengthy meetings is not only time-consuming but also less effective. Manual tracking of attendance and compliance is prone to errors and inconsistencies, leading to gaps in safety communication and potential non-compliance with OSHA regulations. Switching to a digital solution like Safelyio offers significant advantages.
Safelyio automates the delivery and documentation of safety talks, ensuring consistency and accessibility. The microlearning approach breaks down complex safety protocols into manageable, bite-sized pieces, making it easier for employees to absorb and retain information.
This method minimizes disruptions to work schedules, eliminates the hassle of paperwork, and ensures that all safety communications are tracked and recorded accurately. Ultimately, using a digital platform like Safelyio enhances engagement, compliance, and overall safety performance on site. https://safelyio.com/
