Keeping Pace
! Our modern world runs on software.
! What doesn't now, likely will soon
! We’ve had Moore’s Law for hardware, and Moore’s
Law+ for envisioning what software could do
! But, our prior development practices haven’t kept
pace
! Agile shows the greatest promise, but was developed
for small teams
! We need a new approach – one that harnesses the
power of Agile and Lean
– but applies to the needs of the largest software
enterprises
Our development methods must keep pace with an
increasingly complex world

First, Some Thoughts on Agile Methods
! Scrum
– Works great. Less filling. Ubiquitous. Scrumptious. Let’s Sprint.
! Extreme Programming
– Really great code from really great coders.
We can scale great code. Extremely useful. Let’s Program with it.
! Kanban
– Clear thinking on flow, demand management and limiting wip.
Let’s flow, limit WIP and manage demand with it.
! But if these innovative methods don’t have the native constructs to
address the view beyond the team − the enterprise and systems
view − shouldn’t we do something about that?
! And, on behalf of millions of practitioners, working on really big
systems in really big companies, and struggling badly with existing
approaches, don’t we have an obligation to try?

Core values:
1. Code Quality

Goal: Speed, Value, Quality
THE GOAL
! Sustainably shortest lead time
! Best quality and value to
people and society
! Most customer delight, lowest
cost, high morale, safety
All we are doing is looking at the
timeline, from the where the customer
gives us an order to where we collect
the cash. And we are reducing the time
line by reducing the non-value added
wastes. – Taiichi Ohno
We need to figure out a way to deliver
software so fast that our customers
don’t have time to change their minds.

Most software problems will exhibit
themselves as a delay.

Product Development Flow
1. Take an economic view
2. Actively manage queues
3. Understand and exploit
variability
4. Reduce batch sizes
5. Apply WIP constraints
6. Control flow under uncertainty:
cadence and synchronization
7. Get feedback as fast as
possible
8. Decentralize control

Reduce Batch Size
Small batches go through the system faster with lower
variability
! Large batch sizes increase variability
! High utilization increases variability
! Severe project slippage is the most
likely result
! Reducing batch size
– Reduces cycle time; faster
feedback
– Decreases variability and
risk
! Most important batch is
the transport (handoff)
batch
! Proximity (co-location)
enables small batch sizesProject slippage rises exponentially with duration

Visibility and WIP Constraints
Question: How is this team doing? How do you know that?
What would be the affect of a three story WIP constraint on Dev and Test

Let’s Look at the
Framework

Nothing Beats an Agile Team
! Empowered, self-organizing, self-managing cross-
functional teams
! Valuable, fully-tested software increments every two weeks
! Scrum project management practices and XP-inspired
technical practices
! Teams operate under program vision, system, architecture
and user experience guidance
! Value description via User Stories

Systems Must be Managed
A system must be managed. It will not manage
itself. Left to themselves, components become
selfish, competitive, independent profit centers,
and thus destroy the system. . . .
The secret is cooperation between components
toward the aim of the organization.
– W. Edwards Deming

Scale to the Program Level
! Common sprint lengths and estimating
! Face-to-face planning cadence for collaboration,
alignment, synchronization, and assessment
! Value description via Features and Benefits
! Self-organizing, self-managing team-of-agile-teams
! Continuous value delivery
! Aligned to a common mission via a single backlog

Cadence-Based Cross-Functional Planning
! Two days every 8-12 weeks
! Most attend in person
! Product/Program Management/System Engineering owns
feature priorities
! Development team owns story planning and high-level estimates
! Architects, systems engineers work as intermediaries for
interfaces, and dependencies
Cadence-based Planning meetings are the “pacemaker” of the agile
enterprise

DevOps
1. Build and maintain a production-
equivalent staging environment
2. Maintain development and test
environments to better match production
3. Deploy to staging every sprint; deploy to
production frequently
4. Put everything under version control
5. Start creating the ability to automatically
build environments
6. Start automating the actual deployment
process
Tangible value occurs only when the end-users are successfully
operating the software
Deployment pipeline streamlines delivery

Scaling to the Portfolio
“A system is a network of interdependent
components that work together to try to
accomplish the aim of the system.
A system must have an aim. Without an
aim, there is no system.”
– W. Edwards Deming

Scale to the Portfolio
! Centralized strategy, decentralized execution
! Investment themes provide operating budgets for trains
! Kanban systems provide portfolio visibility and WIP limits
! Objective metrics support governance and kaizen
! Value description via Business and Architectural Epics

The Management Challenge
It is not enough that management
commit themselves to quality and
productivity, they must know what it is
they must do.
If you can’t change the system who can?

of knowledge workers
7. Implement software
development flow. Visualize
work. Manage work in process.
8. Build high-performing Agile
teams
