If We Are Agile, Why Do We Need Managers? (AgileIndy, 5.14)Ron Lichty
A common misconception about agile is that managers are unnecessary. After all, agile is based on self-organizing teams. If the teams organize themselves, what do managers do?
Unfortunately, most scrum training plays into that. Think about it: how many trainers or coaches have you seen sketch the structure of a scrum team with a drawing that includes a manager? While there's always a scrum master and a product owner, the core team and maybe some stakeholders, have you ever seen a manager in that drawing?
This misconception can be a problem all around: A frequently cited barrier to agile adoption is managers who don't know what to do when their teams become self-managing. When they're not included in training, how would they (or anyone else, for that matter) know how to characterize their role. At the same time, organizations often lay down expectations of managers, some compatible with agile, some not.
Agile has clearly shifted the old roles and responsibilities. Managers bent on command-and-control are clearly a barrier to agile adoption. But managers who take a hands-off approach or are treading water in a sea of ambiguity will almost certainly stymie adoption, as well.
Ron Lichty believes (and so do a lot of the early agile thought leaders) that managers have critical roles to play in enabling success, both of transitions to agile and of agile itself. This session is about those roles.

Mark Grove presented on Cumulative Flow Diagrams at the DC Scrum User Group. Video and slides available at https://www.kaizenko.com/washington-dc-scrum-user-group-dcsug/
Abstract:
The Cumulative Flow Diagram (CFD). Perhaps you’ve heard of it. Maybe you’ve been told it can help you better understand the flow of work, identify bottlenecks, and get a sense how long work items will take to complete. It sounds intriguing, but…how exactly do you read it? What is it trying to tell you? How can you use it to improve your team’s flow? Perhaps you’re a Scrum team using a traditional burndown chart. Could the CFD be more helpful?
In this part lecture, part workshop presentation, we’ll take a closer look at what a CFD is, how it’s constructed, and, most importantly, how to interpret what you’re observing. Being able to identify patterns in your CFD is a valuable skill to better understand how work is flowing across your Scrum or Kanban board. We’ll then examine several CFD patterns you might see with your teams while addressing three key questions: What are you observing? Why might it be happening? and What actions might you suggest for improvement?
Mike Bowler presented on Psychological Safety at the DC Scrum User Group in November. Video and slides available at https://www.kaizenko.com/washington-dc-scrum-user-group-dcsug/
Abstract:
The term "psychological safety" was originally coined by Amy Edmondson to describe a behaviour that we can observe. But what does it mean to be psychologically safe? Why is this such a powerful and critical aspect to ourselves, and those around us?
When we dig a bit deeper, we find that psychological safety is deeply connected to our own survival mechanism. If we're going to create a positive and safe environment, we'll need to address it. And in order to do so, it's helpful to understand what's really going on in our brains.
In this session, we'll look at what we know from neuroscience and psychology about psychological safety. We'll discuss what we might be able to do in our environments, regardless of our job title or role, to make things better for ourselves, and for those we work with.

Have you ever thought to yourself...
• How can we make Agile Scaling less of a goal itself and more of a method to get our organizational goals?
• We know we need to scale but where do we go from here?
I'll share the three factors that emerged as common themes throughout my experience working on government Agile Scaling projects that ultimately impacted the trajectory of each agency's Scaling journey:
• Communicate vision consistently
• Focus on your people genuinely
• Create your own path intentionally
Regardless of the agency acronym or the frameworks used, these concepts shaped their Scaling outcomes.
So, whether you are working in the government, commercial or the non-profit space, these concepts can help you take your organization to the peak of its Agile Scaling journey.
Franky Jones presented on Beyond Software at the DC Scrum User Group on June 21, 2021.
In this discussion, we will explore how a single conversation between coworkers on a software team sparked the implementation of Scrum across an entire organization. Leveraging the teachings from "Beyond the Goal", by Dr. Eliyahu M. Goldratt, we will focus on the transition to Scrum in the design of physical products at a global leader in the robotics industry. Dr. Goldratt is best known for his "Theory of Constraints" and we will frame our discussion of this Scrum transformation using the four questions at the heart of "Beyond the Goal". Join us as we dive into the successes and challenges of taking Scrum beyond software and into physical product design and manufacturing.

Are you confused why Scrum is not working for your software development teams; then you moved to Kanban, which turned out to be a worse decision too. In this presentation, I will share the importance of the Strategic Product Development Life Cycle and not just the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) when building software products. You will uncover the Cynefin Framework and how you can apply it to your use case to find the Right Software Delivery Framework for your Teams and Organizations.
On March 12, 2021, Julie Wyman presented on "Agile Lessons From Antarctica" at the DC Scrum User Group.
Video and slides at https://www.kaizenko.com/agile-lessons-from-antarctica-responding-to-change-over-following-a-plan-by-julie-wyman-at-the-dc-scrum-user-group-dcsug/
Abstract
I spent January 2018 in Antarctica hanging out with penguins, whales, and seals. It was about as different from my day-to-day work as an Agile Coach as can be. And yet, on my long flight home, I couldn’t help but reflect on how well my trip aligned with one specific value of the Agile Manifesto: “Responding to change over following a plan.”
I think it’s a common misconception that there’s no need to plan in Agile. And while this isn’t the case, specific approaches to planning do change—from big upfront design to a “just enough” approach. The act of planning still holds great value when it occurs at the right level, but in Agile we accept that many things will change and we’ll need to remain flexible to respond to them. If we’ve planned well, we’ll go into those changes with a clear sense of our goal and how to still achieve it under the new circumstances.
Nowhere is this truer than in Antarctica. Throughout the session, I’ll share six specific takeaways about change and planning that I brought back from my trip. I’ll share how my trip to Antarctica drove home why we need both planning AND, even more importantly, the ability to respond to change and how these real-life, non-software examples of responding to change can serve as great reminders to bring back to more typical work environments, including software development. And after being stuck in Antarctica six days longer than planned, I'll share why my biggest takeaway of them all was increased empathy for team members struggling with dynamic situations!
On December 14, 2020 Aanu Gopald presented Stop and Smell the Rose at the DC Scrum User Group.
Video and presentation available at kaizenko.com
Abstract
The saying “stop and smell the roses.” doesn’t mean to simply smell flowers; it means to live in the moment with a great appreciation for the past, the present, the things around you and the future.
Year 2020 has been filled with many ups and downs for everyone. It’s very easy to get completely caught up in thinking of the bad and the ugly that we often forget to take the time to appreciate the wonderful things happening in our present lives and the beautiful dreams for the future. While it’s easy to thank others for their generosity, practicing self-gratitude often slips under the radar. In this session, we will use different different tools to explore how to turn that gratitude inward rather than outward.

The Washington DC Scrum User Group (DCSUG) and Agile Ashburn welcomed Jurgen Appelo on August 9, 2016 to present on "Managing for Happiness"
Abstract:
The research is clear: happy workers are more productive workers. Managing for Happiness is about concrete management advice for all workers. Practical things that people can do next Monday morning in order to make the organization a happier place to work, with people who run experiments and drive innovation. In this session, you will see how to manage the system, not the people. This is not only relevant for managers, but for everyone who is concerned about the organization.
The Washington DC Scrum User Group (DCSUG) welcomed Jeremy Webb on February 23, 2017 to present on "Happiness, A Key Component of Agile" Abstract: Modern research has revealed a great deal about what makes us happy and how that relates to our personal and professional lives. As we learn more, we are discovering how closely happiness is linked to productivity and that many of our previous notions about how to achieve happiness are flawed. Some organizations have figured out that there is a direct link and are modifying there practices to make their employees happier. As it turns out, principles and systems, such as Agile and its frameworks, inherently make us happier even if the organization may not realize it. Join us Thursday, February 23rd for a discussion on happiness and it's relationship to Agile. Even if you are not an Agile practitioner, many of the takeaways apply across any industry.

The Washington DC User Group (DCSUG) welcomed Stephanie Vineyard October 2, 2017 to present on "Applying Analysis in an Agile World"
Abstract:
Agile values and principles don’t call out analysis activities as a supporting practices. The Scrum framework doesn’t specify roles. So, what is the future for business analysis and business analysts in an Agile world? What do you do as an analyst and how can you still provide value?
Agile Alliance and IIBA partnered together to create the new Agile Extension to the BABOK v2. Come join Stephanie Vineyard, part of the core contributor team, to discuss the updated version. We will explore the core principles behind the guide, the rolling horizons for analysis in an Agile environment, and the role of a business analyst in an Agile environment.
The Washington DC User Group (DCSUG) welcomed David Horowitz on April 25, 2016 to present on "7 Secrets of Highly Effective Retrospectives" Abstract: Retrospectives are the core of agility.

The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.
