David Whitlock, Agile Coach at Tripwire, Inc. (@agilevalentine)
What are you looking to learn today?
What makes Agile incompatible with non-software?
Sucess stories working across business
Can we make contracts more Agile?
How does Lean "value chain" and other terms translate to Agile?
Agile, Lean, and UX
Obtaining buy in across organization
The 5 Lean principles
Specify value from the customer's point of view
Map all steps in the Value Stream and identify steps that don't add value
Shorter steps so that value is added quickly ("flow")
Enable customers to pull value when it's ready
Seek perfection by identify and eliminating waste
How do you get buy-in across the organization?
Understandable communication plan
"Sneak in" Agile retrospectives and other practices
Extend an invitation to try it
Start at the top: Execs manage their work using Agile techniques
Compatible with top-down adoption
Liked being self-organizing themselves
Daily standups
What else is out there besides Agile?
Theory of Constraints/Lean
Small batches, financial view, vocabulary for business
Teams and Management, not Teams vs. Management
Reduce waste
Disrupt an industry via innovation
Get products to customers faster
Value Stream Mapping
Is it like story mapping? (Not really)
Pull system
Public, real-time visibility (e.g., daily standup)
Status, progress
Value Stream: How is it measured?
Feature/epic status/state
SAFe and Lean
Both use term "Value Stream", but in slightly different ways
SAFe 4.0 is introducing [support for delivering] hardware/firmware
People closest to the work make decisions
Quarterly PI Planning
Helped streamline decisions and identify/resolve dependencies
Use an Andon cord to ask dor help
Transparency of the Portfolio of Value Streams
Break down functional silos. Organize around the Value Stream.
Mean time to value
Lean and software
Is [software] work really that repetitive?
You can still establish leading practices
Compare with construction industry
What generates value? When do materials need to arrive?
Very much a one-off world, no two buildings are the same
How do we deal with complexity?
When root causes are different
What about projects that have an ending point?
Marketing, Legal, creative work
Work cross-functionally
Leverage tools like retrospectives
Keep the conversation going
