Build projects around motivated individuals.
             Give them the environment and
                support they need, and trust
                   them to get the job done.
http://agilemanifesto.org/principles.html, principle # 5   3
The best architectures,
        requirements, and designs
emerge from self-organizing teams
             http://agilemanifesto.org/principles.html, principle # 11
„...these software developers
had discovered a solution to the
problem of combining
disciplined execution of high-
level intellectual work with
continuous innovation...“ (Steve
Denning)

„In our industry, value has a habit of
changing because, quite often,
customers don’t really know what
they want. In addition, once they see
new software in action, their idea of
what they want will invariably shift.“



Mary and Tom Poppendieck, Implementing Lean Software Development From Concept to Cash
http://theleanstartup.com/principles
„As a result Beck’s Beyond Agile Manifesto comprises:

      Team vision and discipline over individuals and
          interactions (over processes and tools)
      Validated learning over working software (over
               comprehensive documentation)
  Customer discovery over customer collaboration (over
                    contract negotiation)
    Initiating change over responding to change (over
             following a plan)“ (Steve Denning)

  complexity
The	
  brain	
  is	
  more	
  complex	
  than	
  any	
  tool
Use	
  stories,	
  metaphors,	
  pictures…


                The	
  complexity	
  of	
  a	
  system	
  must
              be	
  adequate	
  to	
  the	
  complexity	
  of	
  the	
  
               environment	
  that	
  it	
  finds	
  itself	
  in.

  An6cipate,

  explore
Apart	
  from	
  looking	
  forward	
  (proac8ve),	
  and	
  
looking	
  backward	
  (reac8ve),	
  don’t	
  forget	
  to	
  try	
  
things	
  out	
  (safe-­‐to-­‐fail	
  experiments).



             EvoluLonary	
  systems	
  by	
  their	
  nature	
  
                  involve	
  experimentaLon.

Example:

  Prototypes




    Experiment	
  with	
  tools,
    techniques,	
  and	
  architectures.
6)	
  Develop	
  models	
  in	
  collabora6on
Does	
  the	
  model	
  help	
  people	
  to	
  make	
  sense	
  of	
  the	
  
world	
  (insight	
  and	
  understanding)?


                 Those	
  formula4ng	
  the	
  abstrac4on	
  are	
  
                 making	
  a	
  gesture	
  whose	
  meaning	
  can	
  
                   only	
  emerge	
  in	
  many,	
  many	
  local	
  
                                   interac4ons.

Example:	
  Process

                  The	
  process	
  is	
  what	
  you	
  see,
                  not	
  what	
  you	
  receive	
  in

7)	
  Shorten	
  the	
  feedback	
  cycle
Systems	
  with	
  slower	
  feedback	
  cycles	
  have	
  higher	
  
ex8nc8on	
  rates.



                         The	
  only	
  way	
  to	
  win	
  is	
  to	
  learn	
  
                            faster	
  than	
  anyone	
  else.

  Steal

  spend	
  most	
  of	
  their	
  8me	
  
copying	
  and	
  adap8ng	
  ideas	
  from	
  others.


               We	
  usually	
  think	
  of	
  innovaLon	
  
               as	
  invenLng	
  new	
  things,	
  but	
  we	
  
               may	
  be	
  smarter	
  to	
  think	
  of	
  it	
  as	
  
                       recombining

 • The workshop provided me with a basic understanding

  • 3. Build projects around motivated individuals. Give them the environment and support they need, and trust them to get the job done. http://agilemanifesto.org/principles.html, principle # 5 3
  • 4. The best architectures, requirements, and designs emerge from self-organizing teams http://agilemanifesto.org/principles.html, principle # 11
  • 5. „...these software developers had discovered a solution to the problem of combining disciplined execution of high- level intellectual work with continuous innovation...“ (Steve Denning) http://blogs.forbes.com/stevedenning/2011/04/29/scrum-is-a-major-management-discovery
  • 7. „In our industry, value has a habit of changing because, quite often, customers don’t really know what they want. In addition, once they see new software in action, their idea of what they want will invariably shift.“ Mary and Tom Poppendieck, Implementing Lean Software Development From Concept to Cash
  • 9. „As a result Beck’s Beyond Agile Manifesto comprises: Team vision and discipline over individuals and interactions (over processes and tools) Validated learning over working software (over comprehensive documentation) Customer discovery over customer collaboration (over contract negotiation) Initiating change over responding to change (over following a plan)“ (Steve Denning) http://www.forbes.com/sites/stevedenning/2011/05/04/innovation-applying-inspect-adapt-to-the-agile-manifesto

  • 11. SELF-ORGANIZE FOR MAXIMUM DIVERSITY Decide on group size: 3-5 KPI: Sum of differences Properties: - Gender: Male, Female, Female, Complicated (3) - Company: Wooga, Wooga, Wooga, Wooga (0) - Job Role: - Passion: - Level of Experience with Agile: - Your Choice: Grab a sheet per group and GO! 5 Min.
  • 12. WHAT IS YOUR PREDOMINANT OPERATION AND DECISION MODEL? 5 Min.
  • 13. WHAT IS YOUR LEADERSHIP STYLE? 0 - Dysfunction, I don’t care about your needs 1 - I am receptive and open 2 - I respond to teams’ needs (remove impediments) 3 - My response generates velocity increase 4 - I anticipate teams’ needs and enable higher business value and team performance BEFORE becomes an impediment * Each level builds on the previous level 5 Min.

  • 19. Exercise:  System  Thinking  -­‐  Analyse  a  Problem 1. Pick  a  Post-­‐It  from  the  Success  &  Failure  exercise 2. Take  a  sheet  of  paper  and  draw  a  causal  loop,  ishikawa   or  5  why  diagram 3. Share  with  the  other  groups  what  you  have  found 15 Min.
  • 20. 1)  Address  complexity  with  complexity The  brain  is  more  complex  than  any  tool Use  stories,  metaphors,  pictures… The  complexity  of  a  system  must be  adequate  to  the  complexity  of  the   environment  that  it  finds  itself  in. Max  Boisot,  “Complexity  and  the  I-­‐Space” The  InteracLon  of  Complexity  and  Management
  • 21. Example:  Personas  &  Stories Requirements  as  long pages  with  text  doesn’t  work. hNp://www.flickr.com/photos/nnova/2081056587/  © 2007  Nicolas  Nova,  CreaLve  Commons  3.0
  • 22. 2)  Use  a  diversity  of  perspec6ves Mul8ple  weak  models  can  make  more  sense  than   one  strong  model. Complexity  itself  is   anLmethodology.  It  is  against   "one  size  fits  all." Tom  Petzinger,  “Reality  and  Complexity” The  InteracLon  of  Complexity  and  Management
  • 23. Example:  Planning  Poker Make  use  of  the  mental model  of  every  team  member. hNp://www.flickr.com/photos/wrdh/4613168626/  ©  2010  wrdh,  CreaLve  Commons  3.0
  • 24. 3)  Assume  dependence  on  context What  worked  in  the  past,  or  for  others,  is  not   guaranteed  to  work  for  you  now. Best  pracLce  is  always   past  pracLce. Dave  Snowden,  “From  Organic  to  Complex  Knowledge  Management…” The  InteracLon  of  Complexity  and  Management
  • 25. Example:  RetrospecLve Assume  tomorrow’s  process will  be  different  from  yesterday. hNp://www.flickr.com/photos/magnus_d/5121009259/  © 2010  Magnus  D,  CreaLve  Commons  3.0
  • 26. 4)  Assume  subjec6vity  and  coevolu6on The  observer  influences  the  system,  and  the   system  influences  the  observer. What  you  measure  is  what  you  get. hNp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goodhart's_law  Goodhart’s  Law
  • 27. Example:  Velocity Focus  on  the  metric  and it  is  sure  to  go  up. hNp://www.flickr.com/photos/kakutani/2761992149/  © 2004  Shintaro  Kakutani,  CreaLve  Commons  3.0
  • 28. 5)  An6cipate,  adapt,  explore Apart  from  looking  forward  (proac8ve),  and   looking  backward  (reac8ve),  don’t  forget  to  try   things  out  (safe-­‐to-­‐fail  experiments). EvoluLonary  systems  by  their  nature   involve  experimentaLon. Mike  Rother,  Toyota  Kata,  2009
  • 29. Example:  Paper  Prototypes Experiment  with  tools, techniques,  and  architectures.
  • 30. 6)  Develop  models  in  collabora6on Does  the  model  help  people  to  make  sense  of  the   world  (insight  and  understanding)? Those  formula4ng  the  abstrac4on  are   making  a  gesture  whose  meaning  can   only  emerge  in  many,  many  local   interac4ons. Ralph  Stacey,  Complexity  and  OrganizaLonal  Reality,  2010
  • 31. Example:  Process  visualizaLon The  process  is  what  you  see, not  what  you  receive  in  a  binder.   hNp://www.flickr.com/photos/orcmid/3879260111/  © 2009  Dennis  Hamilton,  CreaLve  Commons  3.0
  • 32. 7)  Shorten  the  feedback  cycle Systems  with  slower  feedback  cycles  have  higher   ex8nc8on  rates. The  only  way  to  win  is  to  learn   faster  than  anyone  else. Eric  Ries,  The  Lean  Startup,  2011
  • 33. Example:  IteraLons From  4-­‐week  sprints  to conLnuous  delivery  in  a  few  years.   hNp://www.flickr.com/photos/lxsocon/707845930/  © 2007  Alexis  O’Connor,  CreaLve  Commons  3.0
  • 34. 8)  Steal  and  tweak Successful  systems  spend  most  of  their  8me   copying  and  adap8ng  ideas  from  others. We  usually  think  of  innovaLon   as  invenLng  new  things,  but  we   may  be  smarter  to  think  of  it  as   recombining  old  ones. TheBuildNetwork,  “A  Smarter  DefiniLon  of  InnovaLon” hNp://thebuildnetwork.com/innovaLon/innovaLon-­‐by-­‐combinaLon/
  • 35. Example:  Brainstorming   Build  on  the  Ideas  of  Others Defer  Judgement Go  for  QuanLty

  • 37. Oh,  and  by  the  way... We  should  not  take   our  models  too   seriously. Gerald  M.  Weinberg IntroducLon  to  Systems  Thinking
  • 38. People  are  the  most  important  parts   of  an  organizaLon  and  managers   must  do  all  they  can  to  keep  people   acLve,  creaLve,  and  moLvated. 38
