The document discusses different stages of engineering approaches from traditional to more adaptive and modern methods. It presents an evolutionary diagram showing the progression from traditional waterfall approaches to fully adaptive and lean engineering. The diagram includes practices like test-driven development, continuous integration, automated testing, planning iteratively, limiting work in progress, and evolving designs over time.

When applied with the right intention to the appropriate context, both domains complement each other exceptionally well in solving complex business problems effectively and sustainably. Aginic and Nik Ilich from Fire & Flint collaborated in driving a principles-first approach to iteratively designing and implementing a transformative future state service onboarding journey for clients of Cerebral Palsy Alliance (CPA).

In the first months of remote work due to COVID, I noticed a massive opportunity to learn from others, as a lot of conferences went online.
But then arose a problem in my capacity to absorb these learnings. So, I started my Creativity Journal and have never look back.
The natural constraints imposed by having a Creativity Journal ensure that I prioritise my attendance to online conferences, such as the Scrum Australia Lightning sessions and Creative Mornings talks. I take notes when I attend these insightful sessions; and then share the notes after the sessions.
Let me show you how you too can get the benefit of a Creativity Journal.
Are your retros boring, non-productive, and a waste of time? Come learn about 3 case studies of extraordinary retrospectives.
Retrospectives are the heart of the feedback loop, existing within an agile framework that fosters self-improvement.
Retrospectives lose value due to 2 reasons: they get boring or they have no value in terms of actionable items.
The first case will describe a team’s experience, organised at the Australian War Memorial in Canberra, Australia. A custom tour was developed that focused on “mateship”.
The second case will describe a team’s experience at the National Portrait Gallery in Canberra, Australia: a prototype team training based on Visual Thinking Strategies, VTS, usually reserved for 11-12 year old school children.
The third case will describe a leadership team’s experience at the Art Gallery of NSW in Sydney, Australia. A team of executive-level leaders learned about mindfulness techniques and taking the time off to appreciate art as a team.
I will describe how you can partner with a variety of resources, including government programs, that will enable you to do the same thing.
The predominant mindset around complex problem solving is decomposition; we inevitably jump to ways of ‘chunking up’ a solution. At Aginic, our experience of delivering hundreds of engaging data experiences is that this often misses a step that is crucial to creating compelling digital experiences: experimentation. In this talk we’ll describe how we have baked in experimentation to our ability to explore and navigate complex problem spaces and how this has helped deliver engaging outcomes for our customers.
This talk is a must for anyone tackling complex projects, particularly involving data.

People decide to go agile and then take on the task of hiring a coach. But if they don’t know anything about agile, how do they know what a good coach looks like? Here I take a look at what coaches should value over the many of the things that consultant coaches value.
Are you trapped in a hamster wheel of meetings, updating tracking tools, trying to keep stories progressing and generally being the “Scrum secretary” for everything that others are not doing themselves? Whilst you might be aware that this is not the most effective way to spend your time, you may not know how to transition out of this situation and what the more impactful activities are to transition to.
In this session we will explore what the most effective Scrum Masters and Agile Coaches focus on as well as some strategies for freeing up your time and building your skills in order to make a much bigger difference for your Scrum Team and surrounding organisation.
Situational Scrum Mastering: What the Scrum guide didn’t tell me about leadin...Scrum Australia Pty Ltd
This session aims to raise awareness about what it takes to successfully lead a team that is trying to be Agile. Santosh will share his personal experiences about challenges he has faced, and why it’s important for an effective Scrum Master to understand what their team needs in terms of leadership before they can successfully lead a team.
According to Paul Hersey, leaders need to adapt their behavior to fit a team’s readiness. Based this readiness level, which is determined by the team’s ability and willingness, a Scrum Master can opt for Telling, Selling, Participating, and Delegating their style of leadership.
In this talk, we will dive into specific things a Scrum Master should do when leading a team that has a different level of readiness. Ultimately, we will learn how a Scrum Master can help teams with limited confidence and abilities to become an agile team, leading them to maximise their agile-ness throughout.
If you are just starting a career as a Scrum Master are a seasoned veteran, or even an agile team member, and want to increase your understanding about leading teams that are trying to become agile, then this talk is for you.
A storm is defined as a disturbance of the atmosphere or the state of an environment, and life brings them in many forms and sizes. Some bring significant disruptions to normal conditions, while others destroy the existing structures and force a rebuilding. As humans we will experience various storms throughout our lives, with the aim of surviving them all.
We are so used to the occurrence of storms that preparing for them has become second nature. We have the technology available to us to help predict them, their size and intensity, so we know what to expect and plan accordingly. Best practices exist to manage the storms. However with climate change, it feels like there are more ‘freak’ one in a 100 year occurrences happening, which take everyone by surprise. The best practices lead to chaos. What’s the future going to hold and what can we learn today to in order to build our resilience for future storms? Do we reflect the shifting environment into our existing practices?
How do we apply these learnings from our life to an Agile transformation of an organisation?
On the horizon, a cyclone is growing in intensity and heading towards your organisation: to disrupt the existing paradigms. Everyone is scared and uncertain of what will survive, or will need to be rebuilt after the agile transformation has hit. What do we need to do to prepare for the transformation? How are we going to work together to build our resilience in the chaos of the cyclone?
How do organisations embrace the storm?

Choice and Control, how Hireup’s Empowering Vision aligns with Agile PrinciplesScrum Australia Pty Ltd
At Hireup, we believe that people with disability should have total choice and control over their supports. We've designed the Hireup model to ensure that people with disability decide who they work with, when they want their bookings to happen and how they would like their support delivered. Hireup's philosophy easily aligns with Agile Principles; learn how Agile Coaches join forces with the People and Culture team to champion Hireup's purpose-led culture.

Outcomes such as “subscriptions increased by 20%” or “complaints regarding the upload feature reduced to zero” are what makes a real difference in our customers lives and hence to the company’s bottom line. When a team is delivering outcomes like that, there is no denying their performance and hence their value to the company.
Delivering outcomes comes from understanding our customers, producing an output that may result in an outcome and then validating if we have achieved the desired outcome. At the very least one of these cycles produces knowledge. The Lean Start-up by Eric Ries, clearly explained this cycle, unfortunately it did not explain clearly how we should design, set up, run or analyse our experiments. I have met many people who agree we should follow the Lean Start-up approach; however, there is rarely any consensus on the experimentation approach that will make it a reality.
In 2017 Australia’s largest independent game studio, Halfbrick Studios, embarked upon a mission to better understand their customer and experiment their way to renewed success. Fruit Ninja Fight is one of the results of that approach. In 2018 Australia’s largest Telco, Telstra, focused on “co-creation” with their customers through a series of experiments; delivering improved customer satisfaction and faster results than ever before.
This presentation shares with you my experiences of working with those two Scrum based organisations as they sought to improve their outcomes through Experimentation.
by Alan Taylor (Innodev)
Test Driven Development is an engineering concept with practices that has great benefit to business. For example, if your business wants to have idealised and revered products, you will have:
- an ability to deliver high quality products which keep up with the latest customer wishes;
- products which are constantly updated with the latest cool features; and
- ability to very quickly resolve any issues that do occur – and they do for even the best organisation
We will share with you why Test Driven Development is a pivotal tool in the fight to be one of those inspiring organisations. We will cover the practices at a high level and go into the outcomes of those practices. We will include not only how the business should benefit directly from them, but also how they provide indirect benefits for the team and the organisation. Every positive has some negatives, whether they are perceived or actual, long term or short term). We will touch on how they are like any form of exercise – they will be hard work at times, but afterwards the results will include fitter, stronger and faster teams able to delivery consistently better results.
As a manager or leader, you will be able to walk away with insight that will enable you to determine how TDD is worth following up in your domain.
As someone within the delivery team, you will leave with deeper understanding of how you, your team and your company can effectively benefit from Test Driven Development.

Do you always take the stairs? How to use your growth mindset to build smar...Scrum Australia Pty Ltd
by Jen Miller
This session introduces the concept of a Growth Mindset and its synergies to Scrum and Agile, through the sharing of examples I have experienced. Attendees will learn what the qualities of a Growth versus Fixed Mindset are and how to recognise them in ourselves, our teams, and organisations. Tips and techniques on how to introduce and promote a growth mindset and how it helps build smarter scrum and agile teams will also be shared, so attendees have practical tools to take away with them.
The concept of a Growth Mindset gained real visibility with Carol Dweck’s research and 2007 book Mindset: The New Psychology of Success. Her research looked at how children learned and faced challenges and problems thought to be beyond their age. Children who were excited to try something new, and learn while doing it, demonstrated what Carol Dweck called the ‘Growth Mindset’. The principles of Scrum align with this concept as they are founded on the empirical practices of try, inspect, and adapt. Seeking to continue learning and improving are characteristic of Scrum and the Growth Mindset. Being aware of, and practicing, the qualities of a growth mindset will make scrum teams and organisations stronger, more resilient, and adaptive in times of challenge and change.

Imagine you are a Mad Agile Scientist and have a diabolical experiment to conduct – what would happen if you exchanged the brains of a Product Owner and Scrum Master? Mwuhahahaha!!! How would the body of a Product Owner with the brain of a Scrum Master act? And vice versa?
Perhaps the Scrum Master would now treat the team like a backlog? This Scrum Master would be focused on value and maintaining a coaching backlog of team and person improvements. This Scrum Master is refining the team, crafting a group that delivers value.
And perhaps the Product Owner might treat the backlog like a team? Rather than backlog refining, they coach the backlog. They would be focused on nurturing, protecting, and empowering the backlog. The backlog might transform from an irritation into a labor of love.
Although this experiment sounds terrible, this change of perspective might be what you need to reanimate your dead team or backlog.

Have you ever sat through endless scrolling credits after a film, speechless, while you processed your thought and feelings? Hundreds, if not thousands, of those disappearing names contributed towards these profound moments of transformative experiences. Timeless films are excellent examples of deep collaboration between multidisciplinary teams of highly skilled craftspeople, working to create moments that transcend the audience to the story world and subtly move them through the journey of films’ protagonist/s.
Filmmakers are master collaborators that literally bring together teams of multidisciplinary casts and crews on the same page of the scrip. Great filmmakers challenge and inspire technicians to become artists and actors, to become immortals through the “power of the story”.
Many years ago, my screenwriting lecturer famously told us during our very first day at the film school, “One thing is certain about filmmaking, that everything you have planned will need to change because it will rain tomorrow”. Filmmakers mastered the art of embracing uncertainty many decades ago, when there were no weather apps, by being truly agile.
In this talk, I will draw from my lifetime of study and exploration of the art and craft of filmmaking. I will demonstrate, using examples from classic films, how motivated and inspired multidisciplinary teams collaborate to bring the vision of a cinematic project to life and transcend audiences around the globe to the story world. I will share what leaders can learn from masters of the ultimate collaborative art of filmmaking.

Team Dynamics is like an unconscious force that influences team behaviour, reactions, and performance. Problems and solutions, from my experience, will be packed into a nice presentation, but the most exciting part will be the “Time to play” where we will face real problems and discuss how to solve them. Games like Blame game and responsibility game will be played and discussed.
by Craig Brown
This session is a structured walk-through the ideas around collaboration. I’ll be introducing key ideas and then leading participants through a workbook of eight questions that help people understand collaboration, why it is important and how they can take action to increase collaboration at their workplace.
People like the idea of collaboration, but have fuzzy ideas about what it is and what good collaboration looks like. This will help them think about collaboration in a more structured way and see opportunities for improvement in their own context.
by Dave Bales
This presentation aims to raise awareness that default Product Ownership (that uses only ordering and prioritising PBI’s) is not enough to be successful. A higher level of consciousness is required to appreciate the challenges and dynamics of the work at hand. Devising evolutionary strategies to cater for the undercurrents, changing landscape and the opposing dynamics in the product and its backlog, may help to tip the balance in favour of being more successful.
Project dynamics can include:
Releasing a new insurance app to millenials on a smartphone platform. The challenge with this is that more customer testing and an exploratory approach of how milenials think will be required, hence each sprint goal may include working toward a customer testing objective;
A compliance risk project where compliance objectives are static. How those objectives are satisfied is variable, hence an evolving strategy to use an iterative approach is to be considered. The first iteration would be to neutralise the compliance risk, starting with a manual process. Successive iterations would then be run by automating and adding more value;
An integration risk project, where a central framework has to integrate with several other systems. An evolving strategy would focus on setting sprint goals to achieve integration, as well as regression testing objectives to neutralise the integration risk early
Everything you wanted to know about Agile Culture Shifts, from a Guinness Wo...Scrum Australia Pty Ltd
by Verna van Schaik
In order to set the Guinness World Record for the Deepest Dive by a Woman I had to do more than find a new way, I had to change how I thought about myself and the world. This shift out of who I thought I was into someone totally foreign to me (but who was also me) is the shift that Agile teams are under going, because it takes more than a new process to create change. It takes a new way of using that process to create true Agility.
We have been taught that who we are is who we are, it can’t change. Well, I am living proof that isn’t quite true We are also told that changing behaviour takes therapy and psychology. It is hard, so we focus on process and forget about the people who use the processes. One of the leading banks in South Africa took training and specifically training to create behavior shifts a step further and created an initiative that proved people can and do change (in 3 days) with their Servant Leadership Workshop.
Using double loop learning, teams were exposed to a new way of thinking that supported a new way of behaving and it worked – people started to show up differently and expect leadership to show up differently. The banks culture started to shift dramatically & Agile started to grow.
This talk outlines one way to create a space where people at all levels of an organisation can shift out of old ways of thinking and behaving into servant leadership and autonomy.

Culture change is necessary when transforming to an effective agile workplace, but doing that in a government agency environment can be even harder. Learn how raising an army of paladins, forming a secret illuminati group and saving people from demons at the ATO created an effective cultural change plan, and how you can do the same for your workplace.
by Terry Haayema
Building a culture for high performance in Teams is something Teams themselves must own. It can’t be managed into them, but all too often the Team’s best vehicle for self-inspection and continuous improvement becomes a meaningless chore that Team members begrudgingly attend, with little understanding of the intention or capability for genuinely improving.
If you’re finding that the same items are coming up in your Retrospectives and there is very little improvement arising, then this session is for you.
In this session, you’ll learn about the power of allignment in enriching the conversation as well as a variety of concrete practices you can use immediately with your Teams to sense and enhance:
Safety
Culture
Environment
Learning
Self organisation
Self determination
Cross functionality
Leadership
Effective Retrospectives

At Wargaming Sydney we tried to find better ways to estimate projects in order to find balance between estimate accuracy and effort spent in the estimation.
At the moment we are exploring the Monte Carlo simulations technique coupled with story mapping. This approach has the potential to lead to more accurate estimations, project after project, because we are able to feed our data into next projects.
During this session I will explain how we do story mapping, what are the principles behind the Monte Carlo simulations technique and the advantages of using PERT curve distributions over Gaussian normal distributions.

Have you ever sat through endless scrolling credits after a film, speechless, while you processed your thought and feelings? Hundreds, if not thousands, of those disappearing names contributed towards these profound moments of transformative experiences. Timeless films are excellent examples of deep collaboration between multidisciplinary teams of highly skilled craftspeople, working to create moments that transcend the audience to the story world and subtly move them through the journey of films’ protagonist/s.
Filmmakers are master collaborators that literally bring together teams of multidisciplinary casts and crews on the same page of the scrip. Great filmmakers challenge and inspire technicians to become artists and actors, to become immortals through the “power of the story”.
Many years ago, my screenwriting lecturer famously told us during our very first day at the film school, “One thing is certain about filmmaking, that everything you have planned will need to change because it will rain tomorrow”. Filmmakers mastered the art of embracing uncertainty many decades ago, when there were no weather apps, by being truly agile.
In this talk, I will draw from my lifetime of study and exploration of the art and craft of filmmaking. I will demonstrate, using examples from classic films, how motivated and inspired multidisciplinary teams collaborate to bring the vision of a cinematic project to life and transcend audiences around the globe to the story world. I will share what leaders can learn from masters of the ultimate collaborative art of filmmaking.

Team Dynamics is like an unconscious force that influences team behaviour, reactions, and performance. Problems and solutions, from my experience, will be packed into a nice presentation, but the most exciting part will be the “Time to play” where we will face real problems and discuss how to solve them. Games like Blame game and responsibility game will be played and discussed.

This session is a structured walk-through the ideas around collaboration. I’ll be introducing key ideas and then leading participants through a workbook of eight questions that help people understand collaboration, why it is important and how they can take action to increase collaboration at their workplace.
People like the idea of collaboration, but have fuzzy ideas about what it is and what good collaboration looks like. This will help them think about collaboration in a more structured way and see opportunities for improvement in their own context.

This presentation aims to raise awareness that default Product Ownership (that uses only ordering and prioritising PBI’s) is not enough to be successful. A higher level of consciousness is required to appreciate the challenges and dynamics of the work at hand. Devising evolutionary strategies to cater for the undercurrents, changing landscape and the opposing dynamics in the product and its backlog, may help to tip the balance in favour of being more successful.
Project dynamics can include:
Releasing a new insurance app to millenials on a smartphone platform. The challenge with this is that more customer testing and an exploratory approach of how milenials think will be required, hence each sprint goal may include working toward a customer testing objective;
A compliance risk project where compliance objectives are static. How those objectives are satisfied is variable, hence an evolving strategy to use an iterative approach is to be considered. The first iteration would be to neutralise the compliance risk, starting with a manual process. Successive iterations would then be run by automating and adding more value;
An integration risk project, where a central framework has to integrate with several other systems. An evolving strategy would focus on setting sprint goals to achieve integration, as well as regression testing objectives to neutralise the integration risk early
Everything you wanted to know about Agile Culture Shifts, from a Guinness Wo...Scrum Australia Pty Ltd
by Verna van Schaik
In order to set the Guinness World Record for the Deepest Dive by a Woman I had to do more than find a new way, I had to change how I thought about myself and the world. This shift out of who I thought I was into someone totally foreign to me (but who was also me) is the shift that Agile teams are under going, because it takes more than a new process to create change. It takes a new way of using that process to create true Agility.
We have been taught that who we are is who we are, it can’t change. Well, I am living proof that isn’t quite true We are also told that changing behaviour takes therapy and psychology. It is hard, so we focus on process and forget about the people who use the processes. One of the leading banks in South Africa took training and specifically training to create behavior shifts a step further and created an initiative that proved people can and do change (in 3 days) with their Servant Leadership Workshop.
Using double loop learning, teams were exposed to a new way of thinking that supported a new way of behaving and it worked – people started to show up differently and expect leadership to show up differently. The banks culture started to shift dramatically & Agile started to grow.
This talk outlines one way to create a space where people at all levels of an organisation can shift out of old ways of thinking and behaving into servant leadership and autonomy.

Culture change is necessary when transforming to an effective agile workplace, but doing that in a government agency environment can be even harder. Learn how raising an army of paladins, forming a secret illuminati group and saving people from demons at the ATO created an effective cultural change plan, and how you can do the same for your workplace.
by Terry Haayema
Building a culture for high performance in Teams is something Teams themselves must own. It can’t be managed into them, but all too often the Team’s best vehicle for self-inspection and continuous improvement becomes a meaningless chore that Team members begrudgingly attend, with little understanding of the intention or capability for genuinely improving.
If you’re finding that the same items are coming up in your Retrospectives and there is very little improvement arising, then this session is for you.
In this session, you’ll learn about the power of allignment in enriching the conversation as well as a variety of concrete practices you can use immediately with your Teams to sense and enhance:
Safety
Culture
Environment
Learning
Self organisation
Self determination
Cross functionality

At Wargaming Sydney we tried to find better ways to estimate projects in order to find balance between estimate accuracy and effort spent in the estimation.
At the moment we are exploring the Monte Carlo simulations technique coupled with story mapping. This approach has the potential to lead to more accurate estimations, project after project, because we are able to feed our data into next projects.
During this session I will explain how we do story mapping, what are the principles behind the Monte Carlo simulations technique and the advantages of using PERT curve distributions over Gaussian normal distributions.

Marvin neemt je in deze presentatie mee in de voordelen van non-endemic advertising op retail media netwerken. Hij brengt ook de uitdagingen in beeld die de markt op dit moment heeft op het gebied van retail media voor niet-leveranciers.
Retail media wordt gezien als het nieuwe advertising-medium en ook mediabureaus richten massaal retail media-afdelingen op. Merken die niet in de betreffende winkel liggen staan ook nog niet in de rij om op de retail media netwerken te adverteren. Marvin belicht de uitdagingen die er zijn om echt aansluiting te vinden op die markt van non-endemic advertising.
