To know, is to know that you know
nothing. That is the meaning of
true knowledge.
— Socrates

Project Relationship

– project (n) :
A temporary endeavour undertaken to create a unique
product, service or result.
A project is temporary in that it has beginning and end in
time, therefore defined scope and resources.
Source: Project Management Institute
The definition of project

Traditionally the success of software
development was assessed upon 3
criteria:
1) Deliver all promised
requirements
2) Within the planned time
3) For the allocated budget
What Defines Success? • 5

On-schedule and on-budget?

When plans are fixed. Effort gets
directed to curbing change so the plan
will still be correct.

A project that is delivered on-time, on-
scope and on-budget does not tell you
anything about the value of the
delivered product.

Customer pay for features in the product

A problem can not be solved from
the state of mind that created it.
— Einstein

Product Mindset vs Project Mindset
Scope
Budget Time
Product Mindset
Success is continuously
driven by business
metrics outside in:
• User adoption
• Revenue
• Cost savings per
feature
Project Mindset
Success is upfront
defined inside out:
• Scope
• Time
• Budget
Leads to less business
involvement, more task
management
Leads to less waste, more
creativity, and more user
engagement

Why Agile

Project model contains noisy data
1 year
6 months cadence 6 months cadence

We live in an uncertain world.
Our original plan was based on noisy
data, viewed from long time horizon.

Make a business case why Agility is necessary
More than one third of businesses today
will not survive the next 10 years.
Companies should not miss the market
transition or business model nor
underestimate your competitor of the
future — not your competitor of the
past.
- Gartner

–noun
The ability The ability to innovate and to rapidly and
deliberately respond to changing demand, while controlling
risk.

Do not sell methodology, sell Agility and its benefits
Reduce waste from
unwanted features
Higher quality products
Engaged software
developers
Faster and frequent
feedback
Eliminate risk earlier
Increased Return on
Investment (ROI)
Easier to make changes
Finish the project
earlier
More competitive in
the market
Reduce Total Cost of
Ownership (TCO)
Improved trust from
customers
Early realisation of
value

Engineering Capabilities for Agility

Which one is more predictable? Why?

• Is predictable
– 13 trains per hour between
Tokyo and Osaka (train every
3-5 mins)
– In 2014 average delay is 5.4
seconds
• and reliable
– 5 billion passengers
– 150 million per year
Shinkansen is very predictable and reliable

Our Nirvana!
If only our software delivery can
be this predictable and reliable
then deadline is no longer
relevant.

“Click Testing”
Functional Test
Integration Test
Unit Test
Build engineering capabilities
Automated
Mostly Automated
By Human

Keep asking yourself: “How can we
deliver faster before our customer change
their mind?”

Amazon is on
record as
making
changes to
production
every 11.6
seconds on
average in
May of 2011

Agile Contract Model

Cynefin Framework
Scrum lives here

Project model contains noisy data
1 year
6 months cadence 6 months cadence

• Can the customer guarantee there are no change request
throughout the project?
• Does it make sense to have a fixed contract in an
unpredictable environment?
• Is it ethical to promise predictability for an unpredictable
situations?
– Doctors don’t do this! But it is common in software
development.
Ask yourself these questions

• Contractor will deliver ready for production software every
Sprint.
– Customer have the option to ship it to production
• Customer can pay per Sprint to be able to manage the risk.
• The number of Sprints used can be agreed upfront.
• Customer can terminate the contract for any reason at any
time.
• Releasing people under the contract has to be done within 6
weeks notice.
• Adding/removing team members has to be done with
Agile Contract Model

Transformation Steps

For Managers and CEO

Learning is a way of being in the world.
learning is not something with
beginnings and ends.
— Esko Kilpi

Changing mindset is the biggest challenge in Starting Scrum

Sprint Review UAT

Get C-Level support and
tolerance for failure
Empower the Scrum
Master
Get customer agreement
with the way of working
Change the team KPI
(quality oriented)
Ask individuals who would
join the initial Scrum team
Organisation level change
Tolerance for failure is needed. Team is
going to fail for the first 3 Sprints.
Agree that the future is unclear and both
parties will manage risk together.
KPI drives team behaviour. The behaviour
must lead to higher quality product.
Self-assigned team is more engaged.
Engaged team is more productive.
Scrum Master is the organisation change
leader towards Agility.

• Train the team on eXtreme Programming practices
• Train the Product Owner on Agile Product Management
– Ideally someone from customer side will be the Product Owner
• Create the Definition of Done
– Include engineering practices (look at Buku Manajemen Modern
dengan Scrum for sample).
• Create the initial Product Backlog – Inception workshop
• Agree on Sprint length (1-2 weeks)
• Agree on the date for the first Sprint
• Create Scrum team working agreement
Starting Scrum – executed by Scrum Master

• Full Scrum Team participates
– Scrum Master
– Product Owner
– Development Team
• Continuous Improvement starts from here
• Expect leap of improvements from Sprint
#4 onwards
• Scrum Master may facilitate
Never skip Retrospectives every Sprint

Scrum Master must embody Scrum Values in the organisation

Scaling Agility

• Self-contained inside the
company, does not disrupt
other parts of the business
• Autonomous
• One studio – one product
• A business unit NOT a
department
• Supported by the CEO
Scrum Studio
Company
Scrum
Studio

• Lead by Scrum Product
Owner.
• The Product Owner reports
to the CEO.
• Cross-functional team
– Marketing
– Developer, Tester, Architect
– Business Development
• Business representatives is
part of the studio.

Scaling Out Scrum Studio
If you haven't yet succeeded in creating
a studio who can deliver quality
software continuously, do not add
several more.

Scrum Master is the Agility Leader
The Scrum Master is a servant-leader for the Scrum Team. The
Scrum Master helps those outside the Scrum Team understand
which of their interactions with the Scrum Team are helpful and
which aren’t. The Scrum Master helps everyone change these
interactions to maximize the value created by the Scrum Team.
