Do you sometimes feel that your Agile teams are running harder and harder - trying to become more Agile, but find themselves in the same place or even worse than they were before? Before you pull out your hair, trying to do more of the same, is it possible that your Agile Transformation is being run like a Waterfall Program? In this presentation, we will explore 5 common real-world signs of waterfall thinking contaminating Agile Transformations. We will also explore some experiments we could try out to adapt the structure of the transformation so we create eco-systems more compatible with Agile.

Governance Teams in organizations adopting Agile often struggle to define Agile-compatible governance practices. Agile Governance can appear to be oxymoronic. A choice between a bad option - "Agile is a blank check. You'll get what you get when you get it." and an even worse option - "Iron Triangle governance for Agile Delivery." Things get worse when powerful executives demand status reports using metrics that Agile teams believe represent waterfall thinking. Often, such conversations can be polarizing, causing people with shared goals to dig into adversarial camps, struggling to communicate with each other. So how can we build bridges across these chasms and shift from polarizing to unifying interactions? These slides from a Scrum.org Scrum Pulse webinar, in which I propose a rigorous, frame-work independent approach that constructively channelizes the valid desire for governance. I frame governance in terms of value that will help us unify organizations without getting sucked into polarizing conversations about delivery frameworks. I also frame governance as a powerful way to enable sustainable competitive advantage and provide a short, memorable equation that might help entire organizations align towards a shared goal. The ideas in this webinar have been applied in multiple organizations across diverse industries - real estate, sports and banking. In each case, there was CXO support, validating the hypothesis that this approach helps elevate the conversation to Executives.

While Agile has become mainstream at the team level with much research and practical experience, scaling agile to the enterprise is a topic of increasing interest and practice—with some successes and some spectacular failures. As Tolstoy wrote, “Happy families are all alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.” Mariya Breyter shares anti-patterns for scaling agile that you need to recognize quickly and change right away. Most agile scaling frameworks address agile processes and organizational structures. However, Mariya thinks it is time to look at agile scaling from the perspective of individual team members: developers, architects, testers, or any member of a cross-functional agile team. Using examples from multiple companies that she transitioned to agile at scale, Mariya describes how you can enhance your agile implementation at the enterprise level and avoid the pitfalls that can sink an enterprise agile program.

We can’t do agile – teams need to be co-located!,” we often hear from naysayers about adopting agile in companies with remote workers. We know that distributed teams – be they off-shore, on-shore, near-shore, in-shore, whatever-shore – are the way many businesses operate today. How can we, as agilists in our organizations (as ScrumMasters, Product Owners, consultants, trainers, etc.), resolve the challenges that distributed teams face? This talk will review some of the common issues that distributed teams face and we’ll talk through real-world, practical solutions that I’ve used with my teams; techniques you can take back to your teams immediately.

Excerpt from a session introducing agile concepts for a group of quality engineers in a big enterprise undergoing an agile transition. The aim was to expose Quality/Process engineers to the concepts of agility and emphasize the impact on process/methodology development, the approach of evolution vs big design up front and its impact on their work. I used a lot of the classic agile examples (a lot of them by Henrik Kniberg) and adjusted for the development of methodology, to show that actually the agile approach should be discovered using an agile process. Also covers some complexity thinking aspects. And of course - this is not limited to methodology for IT/product development, but to many kinds of change management.

When the agile consultants leave, how do you ensure that the enterprise agile transformation sticks, evolves, and grows throughout the organization? What challenges will you face? What support must be in place to address the challenges? Like software products, the real cost of an agile transformation occurs after the initial rollout. Salesforce.com has sustained an enterprise agile transformation for more than seven years. Mike Register shares the major challenges Salesforce faced and how they addressed them―challenges that include scaling coaching within a very large enterprise (230 teams and growing rapidly) and effectively emphasizing the foundation principles behind the practices. Mike describes what has worked and not worked during their agile journey. He enumerates the primary support structures that need to be in place to support long term enterprise agile transformation. Mike also explores the cultural and leadership aspects necessary to support large scale agile adoption that sticks.

10 Safe Essential Elements to Achieve the Benefits of SAFe

Cprime

In the world of agile, there is theory and then there is practice. We like to talk about self-organizing teams, asynchronous execution, BDD, TDD, and emergent architecture. We also talk about cross-functional teams: how analysts, testers, architects, technical writers, and UX designers belong on the same team, right next to programmers. It all sounds nice in theory, but how does this work in reality? What do these people actually do? How do they interact? What does it look like? Is there really a pragmatic way to make this work? In this simulation, a cross-functional team will actually build a piece of software. Every specialist will have a hand in the process. Every specialist will also act as a generalist. Everyone will add value. And as a team, we’ll get something DONE. This is your opportunity to see agile development in practice, and to bridge the gap between what agilists say and what teams do. And it’s not as new or as difficult as you think – affinity between testers, BA’s, coders, and other team members has really been at the root of effective development practices all along. Let’s just finally acknowledge that it works, demonstrate its capabilities, and encourage it going forward. This IS agile development.

Test Improvement is all about giving an organization or a team the “means they can use” to help achieve their goals. Means that are in line with their skills and they can use in their context. That’s why successful Test Improvement requires leadership and management. In this presentation I share experiences in Test Improvement in a wide variety of environments, using different models and approaches.

Test Improvement - Any place, anytime, any where

Ruud Teunissen

All four Agile approaches in combination in one company! What a radical thought, especially with the fearsome flames of the agile methodology wars! It all started with Scrum versus Scrum. Then Scrum versus Kanban. Then everybody against DSDM. And finally late last year things escalated with the global take-up of the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe). Sadly dogmatic Agilistas continue to see just one (or two) of the four approaches as the solution to everyones’ problems. Despite the fact that no single one can be the silver bullet. Yet despite this dogmatism, Agile and Lean has made a massive difference to people’s lives. Hundreds of thousands if not millions of IT professionals and hobbyists benefit daily from these approaches. So we must put our ego to one side and remember that the approaches are not about a particular methodology: They are about people and results. By putting people and results first we can illustrate in this session why, how and where all four approaches (Scrum, Kanban, SAFe & DSDM) are applicable. Incredibly we will see that a particular type of organization should consider all four! To support this discussion, we will examine different types of organization, each with their own set of characteristics. For each we will explore which approaches would be the most appropriate now and in the future plus risks.

Are you crazy? Using Scrum, Kanban, SAFe and DSDM in one Company!!!

How agile are you? Once you jump off the waterfall and drink from the agile pool, there will probably be varying opinions as to the state of the organization’s agility. Some will be concerned that they are not agile enough; others will think they are agile while still adhering to old waterfall principles. Adapting to agile requires process changes that can cause friction within and between teams. Max McGregor’s organization Venafi has several teams working on multiple projects, spread worldwide. Even after a number of software releases using agile methods, teams still have challenges. Max provides insight into one mid-sized organization’s evolution through this process—where it’s working well, what the biggest challenges are, and what’s being done to increase its success with agile. Join Max to determine how agile you can or should become, and take back new ideas and methods to your teams to help them succeed.

8 Essentials for Building Robust Features by EA Sr Product Manager

Product School

Please join us on Wednesday January 27 in Burlington MA starting at 6:30 pm as senior enterprise agility coach Yuval Yeret describes several techniques that can be used to produce a lasting and productive adoption of the Scaled Agile Framework. The Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) is a powerful and popular framework for implementing agile at large scale across the enterprise. However many organizations see their implementation of SAFe stall and even backfire since the adoption is mandated from its organizational leaders, instead of engaged teams participating and choosing their SAFe. In this talk we will examine some dangerous implementation anti-patterns as well as healthier alternatives. You will learn some concrete techniques that help live up to the Lean/SAFe principles of respecting and engaging people. We will discuss field-proven ideas such as pull-based crossing the chasm approach to implementation, use of open space as part of the different SAFe ceremonies, and how Open Space Agility can combine with SAFe.

Tracing the root cause of a performance issue requires a lot of patience, experience, and focus. It’s so hard that we sometimes attempt to guess by trying out tentative fixes, but that usually results in frustration, messy code, and a considerable waste of time and money. This talk explains how to correctly zoom in on a performance bottleneck using three levels of profiling: distributed tracing, metrics, and method profiling. After we learn to read the JVM profiler output as a flame graph, we explore a series of bottlenecks typical for backend systems, like connection/thread pool starvation, invisible aspects, blocking code, hot CPU methods, lock contention, and Virtual Thread pinning, and we learn to trace them even if they occur in library code you are not familiar with. Attend this talk and prepare for the performance issues that will eventually hit any successful system.

Not surprising then, that issues with Teams calls are among the most common problems users call their helpdesk for. Having in depth insight into everything relevant going on at the user’s device, local network, ISP and Microsoft itself during the call is crucial for good Microsoft Teams Call quality support. To ensure a quick and adequate solution and to ensure your users get the most out of their Microsoft 365. But did you know that ‘bad calls’ are also an excellent indicator of other problems arising? Precisely because it is so noticeable!? Like the canary in the mine, bad calls can be early indicators of problems. Problems that might otherwise not have been noticed for a while but can have a big impact on productivity and satisfaction. Join this session by Christoph Adler to learn how true Microsoft Teams call quality analytics helped other organizations troubleshoot bad calls and identify and fix problems that impacted Teams calls or the use of Microsoft365 in general. See what it can do to keep your users happy and productive! In this session we will cover - Why CQD data alone is not enough to troubleshoot call problems - The importance of attributing call problems to the right call participant - What call quality analytics can do to help you quickly find, fix-, and prevent problems - Why having retrospective detailed insights matters - Real life examples of how others have used Microsoft Teams call quality monitoring to problem shoot problems with their ISP, network, device health and more.
