Creating Your Organization's Business Agility Strategy Optimally, your organization's business strategy and business agility strategy are completely coupled together, one seamlessly supporting the other. Practically, what many organizations experience today is a tug-of-war between their business strategy and this thing called 'business agility.' Or, a lack of business agility strategy altogether, leaving the business strategy more susceptible, and even fragile, when unforeseen changes inevitably occur. We need a way to think about business agility, coupled with business strategy, so that we can live into the reality of harnessing change for good. This session will expose you to a recently published body of work, Domains of Business Agility, which serves as a model for creating business agility strategy. Think of it as a skeleton, or a thinking tool. Used this way, the model allows leaders to answer the question, 'How much business agility do we need in various parts of our organization as a seamless support to our overall business strategy?' In this session, Lyssa Adkins, author of Coaching Agile Teams and Agile/Leadership Coach, leads you through the key steps for creating such a business agility/business strategy. This and other IIL Learning in Minutes presentations qualify for PDUs. Some titles, such as Agile-related topics may qualify for other continuing education credits such as SEUs, or CEUs.

The Intersection of Agile and Culture Most accept that agile methods and practices work but how do you apply them at scale without stifling the creativity, autonomy, and energy of your teams? Listen as Aaron Bjork describes the importance of organizational culture in scaled agile implementations. Aaron will share stories from his experiences at Microsoft and provide practical advice for how to intersect agile and culture in your organization and teams. Key takeaways: Learn why culture and agile are not mutually exclusive. Learn practical ways to strengthen the agile mindset on your teams. Learn ways to identify where culture is interfering with agile adoption. Learn what has/hasn't worked during Microsoft's agile transformation.

Use Fast Feedback to Accelerate Business Agility w/ David Grabel Software engineers get feedback from their development environment and automated test suites in real-time. Errors can be fixed and verified in minutes. However, when organizations extend Agile beyond technology, feedback from stakeholders takes days and the 'feedback frenzies' can drag on for weeks or even months. Completing a story within a sprint seems impossible. It is time for 'the business' to dramatically reduce lead time and stop getting blamed for delays. This talk will show you how to quickly create a value stream mapping with your team. This map will expose needless delays and help you find ways to shorten cycle time to minutes, reducing overall lead time by 80% or more. It will include a way to overlay feedback loops on the value stream map, which can help you find the source of significant delays. You will also hear how creative teams are adapting mob programming techniques into their work in ways that build feedback into their processes in order to accelerate delivery from business teams. This and other IIL Learning in Minutes presentations qualify for PDUs. Some titles, such as Agile-related topics may qualify for other continuing education credits such as SEUs, or CEUs. Each professional development activity yields one PDU for one hour spent engaged in the activity. Some limitations apply and can be found in the Ways to Earn PDUs section that discusses PDU activities and associated policies.

Toyota Kata - What is it. Where Might it Fit. and Why? Future solutions are getting less and less likely to be ones we've used before. And even if we can draw on 'experience', it may represent the lowest form of innovation which may not be good enough; we are limiting ourselves to only what we know now.Agile is about mindset, not about process. Mindset can support agile behaviors or can hinder them. Improvement exercises involve multiple people or groups working on different parts of the puzzle; how they understand customer needs and how they collaborate to create a cohesive whole can greatly influence success. So the most important question becomes, 'How might we develop an Agile mindset?'The connection between Agile and Toyota Kata is intriguing. When you look into why, it's actually quite plain and simple. Further, when you have an understanding of Toyota Kata, how it came about and why, then its potential value to those adopting Agile shines through even more so. You will recognize the potential of the 2 unintentionally hidden managerial routines at Toyota from which 'Toyota Kata' was born."One of the best, compact introductions to Toyota Kata that I've seen!" (Quote by Mike Rother, author of 'Toyota Kata', following a presentation by Oscar in Austin TX in Feb 2020.) In this session you will: See the connection between Agile and Toyota Kata and their common ancestry See why the most success in the future will come to those who can rapidly adapt and innovate Understand that a concept or model alone generally won't change behaviors (and why), but a practice routine will Understand the 2 'Kata' patterns and get a feel for how you can start your application of them, one in particular

Scaling with Simplicity - How to Eliminate Complexity in Large Agile Programs As agile thought leaders debate if agile at scale is really "agile" many of us who work in the trenches understand that scaling is sometimes necessary. We work in legacy environments and on complex codebases that require coordination. Our organizations may be working towards independent teams and a microservices architecture, but even the migrations required to get there demand scaling. This talk will help participants reduce complexity in scaled organizations and simplify their program framework. Attendees will receive actionable recommendations to help them execute more efficiently starting today. With a heavy focus on eliminating dependencies and effective planning, the presentation will help attendees bring simplicity to even the most complex scaled programs. Interspersed through the presentation will be real-life examples of successes and failures so attendees can understand how to put ideas into action. Attendees will also receive tips on influencing leadership to adopt these recommendations, empowering them to drive sustainable change. Key takeaways: How to simplify a program's operating model Tips for eliminating dependencies and managing through dependencies that can't be cut How to overcome two problems no amount of planning can solve for: bad requirements and unstable priorities Strategies to reduce the impact of prioritization changes How to influence the change necessary to build a better managed program

Agility by the Numbers - Calculating ROI with Agile Impressive compilation of facts, figures, and statistics concerning agile methods. Begins with the background, motivation, tenets, and mechanics underlying agile performance. Includes data on agile metrics, performance, success, adoption, proliferation, and cases at project, organization, and national level. Closes with a great prescription for agile success. This and other IIL Learning in Minutes presentations qualify for PDUs. Some titles, such as Agile-related topics may qualify for other continuing education credits such as SEUs, or CEUs. Each professional development activity yields one PDU for one hour spent engaged in the activity. Some limitations apply and can be found in the Ways to Earn PDUs section that discusses PDU activities and associated policies. Fractions of PDUs may also be reported. The smallest increment of a PDU that can be reported is 0.25. This means that if you spent 15 minutes participating in a qualifying PDU activity, you may report 0.25 PDU. If you spend 30 minutes in a qualifying PDU activity, you may report 0.50 PDU.

Big Agile: It's Not Just For Small Projects Anymore One of the stereotypes of Agile approaches is that they only work for small projects. However, over the last several years, Agile techniques are now being applied to increasingly larger and more complex environments. From the largest telecom in Europe to the largest chip-maker in the world, large organizations are changing the way they do work. But how is this possible? How does self-organization work for a thousand people? How do programs run without plans? How can a massive solution go to market in a matter of weeks? In this illuminating session, we will explore both a common, repeatable approach and case studies from the real world. Come learn both recent trends and actionable tips for growing out of small Agile to big Agile. This and other IIL Learning in Minutes presentations qualify for PDUs.
