Agile: Not Just for Sofware by John Carter, has 21 slides with 54 views.This document discusses applying agile methods to product development beyond just software. It argues that agile can accelerate tangible product development by nesting sprints within milestone frameworks and establishing high-performance cross-functional teams. However, functional managers often resist ceding control and collaboration, posing the biggest challenge to success. Case studies show that focusing agile adoption on planning, demos, and facilitation can lead to improved schedule adherence, decision-making, and overall project accuracy despite higher prototyping costs.

The document outlines key techniques for applying these frameworks outside of software development and emphasizes an evolutionary approach to process improvement.

Agile Australia 2017 - Transforming ING Direct - Our journey so far by Leandro Pinter, has 41 slides with 352 views.ING Direct Australia has been transforming their organization to work in an Agile way since 2010. They conducted three waves of transformation: Wave 1 focused on testing Agile but concluded it would not work for their bank. Wave 2 had some success with two pilot teams but struggled to scale Agile across large projects. Wave 3 involved reorganizing into domains and guilds, establishing new roles, and adopting practices like PACE to help teams deliver value faster through smaller, more frequent releases. This led to major improvements in time to market, on-budget deliveries, and team engagement. The next steps are continuing to evolve the organization and empowering teams to innovate. The key lessons are to start small, build transformation

Will Agile kill Project Management by Darren Wilmshurst, has 37 slides with 836 views.The document discusses whether agile will kill project management. It presents some key differences between traditional project management and agile approaches. While agile prioritizes adapting to change over stickling to a predefined plan, it does not eliminate project management but rather changes it. Agile still uses practices like planning at different levels from programs to sprints, but allows for more flexibility in scope to keep costs and time fixed. The document argues project managers still have an important role in agile, but with less command-and-control and more of a focus on leading and facilitating teams.

Scrum in action by Mona Shokrof, has 43 slides with 2680 views.The document discusses Scrum, an agile framework for managing complex projects. It describes Scrum's core components like sprints, roles, artifacts, and events. Sprints are short, timed iterations where self-organizing teams work on prioritized backlog items to create shippable increments. Key roles include the Product Owner who prioritizes features, and the Scrum Master who coaches the team. Artifacts include the Product and Sprint Backlogs and shippable increments. Events help the team inspect and adapt their process through planning, daily check-ins, reviews, and retrospectives. Many large companies have adopted Scrum to deliver working software frequently in response to changing requirements.

I see Agile being used as a synonym of Scrum even though Agile is more of an umbrella where Scrum is just one flavour of getting there. Many inquiries show that Scrum is the most used Agile flavour in the world and I’m here to tell you to stop that movement unless you truly mean it. Let me guide you through some basic elements and help you evaluate if you and your organisation should ditch Scrum or not. Help you recognise if you are truly a Scrum Master or rather a Scrum Novice. And much more.

Adn11 toc bottleneck game by Jürgen De Smet, has 16 slides with 1508 views.The document discusses the Theory of Constraints and introduces a "Bottleneck Game" to illustrate its key concepts. The Theory of Constraints focuses on identifying the bottleneck, or constraint, that limits an organization's ability to achieve its goal. It then recommends exploiting the bottleneck to maximize its output, subordinating all other decisions to the bottleneck, and elevating the bottleneck by finding ways to increase its capacity. The game is designed to demonstrate how focusing on the bottleneck can increase an organization's throughput and profits.
