The Agile of Accelerations
• The Market

• Mother Nature
• Climate change, population growth
• Technology (Moores Law)
• Exponential increase in computing power

Triggers to Tipping Points
Inspired by : Carlota Perez ‘Technological Revolutions and Financial Capital’

And That Would Mean Change…
Age of Oil and Mass
Production
VS
Age of Software and Digital
Long term investment
planning horizons
Short term investment planning

And Today Is a Special Day

process

Because of you - Scrum has reached the age of 25
• >90% of Agile teams use
Scrum
• > 500,000 people trained
on Scrum
• > 100 books with Scrum in
the title
• Forms the basis of the
majority of Agile
approaches
• Scrum Guide is free to use
by anyone

Scrum is based on 3 simple ideas..
The Fundamentals
q Empirical Process
q Self Managed / Empowered Teams
q Continuous Improvement

• Each idea re-enforces each
other idea
• Creates an approach that allows
value and teams to flourish
• Moves us away from the
mechanics of Scrum to
something much more
• Is the basis of Professional
Scrum
But to be successful with Scrum you need to be Professional
The Fundamentals
q Empirical Process
q Self Managed / Empowered Teams
q Continuous Improvement
Professionalism
q Values / Behavior
q Disciplined and focused
q Outcome oriented
q Help others

Values

• 2017 Scrum Values were added to
the Scrum Guide
• Added because behaviors matter
for success
• Describe a set of ideals that when
practiced support agility and
Scrum
• Much easier to say than to be
16
Scrum Values

Our Work
With
McKinsey
Found This
As Well
17

And we are
not alone
18

Discipline

We Are Mindful and Systematic
“Discipline is action or
inaction that is regulated
to be in accordance with a
particular system of
governance. Discipline is
commonly applied to
regulating human and
animal behavior."
wikipedia

Examples Include
Done is really DONE!
Daily Scrum is at the
same time
WIP Limits are
enforced
Improvement happens
every Sprint
Cards describe
outcomesWork comes from the
backlog

• Industrial system vs empowered
team approach
• Trust vs control
• Frequent inspection
• Simple and clear process
• Definition of Done
• Sprint Goal
• PBIs success criteria
• Everyone is responsible!

The Dirty Truth About Agility

Outcomes

Focusing on Adding Value
Improves
outcome
Does
nothing
Makes
things
worse
Source: http://www.exp-platform.com/Documents/2015%20Online%20Controlled%20Experiments_EncyclopediaOfMLDM.pdf
Why can we not focus on
this then!!!

What’s an Outcome?
An Outcome is some state
experienced by the user of a Product.

Mind The Gap
Current Experience
Desired Outcome
Satisfaction
Gap
Opportunity
=
Value of Closing
Satisfaction Gap
Another technique: Empathy Mapping

Persona

Product Ownership Driving Business Innovation

Perhaps This Is A Better View
Design Thinking
Lean Startup
Scrum
Plan – Sense – Respond
Building an
empirical
approach to
delivering
value.

Community

• Scaling the ideas
• Building out support
• Learning new things
• And… Nothing better for
learning than trying to teach
others J
30
Helping Others

The famous ‘Spotify’ model supports this approach
• Squad: similar to a Scrum Team
• Tribe: collection of Squads that
work in a related area
• Chapter: a family of people
inside a Tribe with similar skills
• Guild: a community of practice
cross Tribe

Organizations adopting skills based community
• Focus on supporting people by developing skills
• Promotion, status and reward tied to mastery
• Scaling is about helping others not managing others
• Installing a learning culture requires an organization

One More thing

Are We There Yet? Empirical
Improvement
requires
measurement
“If you can’t measure it you can’t improve it”
Peter Drucker
