Why Agile?

• Are we and customers happy with the lead time from idea to volume deployment?

• Are we and customers happy with product quality?

• Are we happy with R&D efficiency?

• What will our situation look like tomorrow if we continue as we do?

The Importance of Speed

Conclusion

• Conformance to original budget is secondary• Conformance to original scope is secondary• Time to market and Quality is key!!

The Themes of this Talk

• Look at product development holistically• All development work is not the same• Self-organization

Holistically Speaking...

Common Challenges

• Time slicing of people• Handovers of documents resulting in distortion• Coordination issues • Quality issues uncovered too late• Lead-time too long• Very few people understand the overall system• Too many meetings• Blame games

Claim: The fragmentation of value(work)is the single most important root cause for these issues

Key Ideas

• Focus on flow, customer-to-customer– Optimize for short end-to-end lead-time – Stop-the-line mentality regarding faults

• This will expose inefficiencies and force:– Removal of handovers– Removal of overly detailed studies

and gold-plated designs– Removal of late and non-repeatable testing

• The focus on flow and lead-time will act as aforcing function to address impediments toquality and efficiency

Key Concepts• End-2-End Cross Functional Teams for Development• Pull based approach• Continuous programs rather than finite projects• Continuous Integration (and Testing)

– Automated, continuous, fast and reliable feedback to teams• Requirement Areas (RA) as scaling concept

– Yearly budgeting (in terms of teams) per RA coupled to business strategy– Independent prioritization per RA– Limits competence challenge for Teams without code ownership

Handling the Differences

• Low Architecural Impact– Single Team with end-

to-end ownership

• High Architectural Impact– Many teams– PO team– Anatomy to support vision

and rolling planning– May require pure test teams– Traps:

• Planning too much upfront• Locking down the plan• Disempowering the teams

Self-organization

33

Why do we want Self-organizing Teams?

34

A team is a group of people with complementary talents and skills, aligned to a common objective.

35

It is a Powerful Management Strategy

• End-to-end ownership Motivation Higher quality results

• Local decision making Adaptability Results more fit for purpose

• No hand-overs Reduced time-to-market

36

Typical Advice on Self-organization

• Don’t assign roles• Don’t assign leadership• Don’t assign tasks• Don’t say how

Summary

• Focus on end-to-end flow• Focus on product evolution rather than

running projects• Distinguish functional enhancements from

architectural evolution• Foster self-organization consciously
