The document discusses how Agile principles can be applied beyond software development. It suggests that Agile principles like self-organizing teams, delivering value through iterations, transparency, and focusing on client needs can benefit management and business in general. The document also discusses how Agile ideas have been adapted to other domains like Lean Startup and personal task management using tools like Kanban. In conclusion, it argues that spreading Agile values could help change the world for the better.

11. Management
Business
We still use Frederick Taylor and Henry Ford
management rules

12. Radical
Management
Delighting Clients
-> Delight primary clients by meeting their
unrecognized desires
-> Aim for the simplest possible thing that will
delight
-> Focus on people, not things
-> Give the people doing the work a clear line of
sight to the people for whom the work is being
done

13. Radical
Management
Self-Organizing Teams
-> Articulate a compelling purpose in terms of
delighting clients
-> Consistently communicate a passionate
belief in the worth of the purpose
-> Transfer the power to the team

14. Radical
Management
Client-Driven Iterations
-> Focus on stakeholders and what is of value
for them
-> Consider how to deliver more value sooner
and cheaper
-> Decide as late as possible what work is to be
included in the iteration
-> Define the goal of the iterations in the form
of user stories

15. Radical
Management
Client-Driven Iterations
-> Treat the user story as the beginning, not the
end, of a conversation
-> Keep the user stories simple and record them
informally
-> Display the user stories in the workplace
-> Be ready to discuss the user stories with the
client
-> In the user story, include a test to determine
when the story has been fully executed

16. Radical
Management
Delivering Value to Clients
-> Focus on finish the most important work first
-> Have the team itself estimate how much time
work will take
-> Let the team decide how to do the work in the
iteration
-> Don't interrupt the team in the course of an
iteration
-> Measure progress in terms of value delivered
to clients

17. Radical
Management
Radical Transparency
-> Have the team members stay in contact with
each other on a daily basis
-> Conduct retrospectives reviews at the end of
each iteration
-> Use informal visual displays of progress
-> Establish a clear line of sight from the team
to the client

18. Discovery !!
“Scrum Is A Major
Management
Discovery”
By Steve Denning
“If there was a Nobel Prize for management, and if
there was any justice in the world, I believe that the
prize would be awarded, among others, to Jeff
Sutherland, Ken Schwaber and Mike Cohn for their
contributions to the invention of Scrum.”

19. Business
Lean Startup is a new
methodology to build a
startup
What have in common
Building a Startup

by Joshua Kerievsky

21. Lean StartUp
Lean Startup makes the best
parts of Agile more lean and
combines them with the
brilliant Customer
Development process.
by Joshua Kerievsky

22. The Power of
Pull
Push – When the Boss push
tasks to the team
Pull – The “Boss” have a list
of task prioritized and the
team pull the tasks
Similarities with Scrum
or/and Kanban

23. The Power of
Pull
Any Similarities with Scrum
and Kanban ?
-> Small Batches
-> Good Prioritization
-> Delivery Value Often
-> Avoid Multitasking by pushing more and
more tasks
-> Team pull the tasks from the list

24. Product Development
Product development

Kanban, why not ?

Variability

26. Agile in Our
Daily Life
I had training in time
management – GTD
My way of doing things
doesn't match with GTD
Then I discovered
Personal Kanban

27. Agile in Our
Daily Life
Kanban rules in the daily
tasks
Value Stream
Fill the Backlog
Limit WIP
Pull Work

28. Agile in Our
Daily Life

29. Conclusion
Agile is spreading to all kind of activities
Lets help changing the world spreading the
Agile values
And most important “Be Agile” don't “Do
Agile”
Let's Hope for a better world (with Agile)
