Why have we started our Agile Transition? – Strategic Perspective
o Change is the only constant in Digital Ageo Reduce time to valueo Need to manage large scale implementation projects
Why have we started our Agile Transition? – Project Perspective
o Stay closely aligned with business users throughout development cycleo Create impact by focus on business value tangible for end userso Be successful by “divide and conquer”- approach results in a smaller scope per
iterationo Avoid the “acceptance test surprise”
How do we approach the Agile Transition?
o Initiate the mind-shifto Make start not dependent of too many prerequisiteso Trainingo Coaching
Mind Shift is essential to the Agile Transition
o We need to replace the Plan / Build / Run silos by a highlycollaborative environment
o We want to put the business value into the center ofour efforts
o We don’t want Build to be only the receiver ofrequirements
o We don’t want Run to be the receiver of Buildoutcome
Training efforts are focused on How-To Dimension
o Initial generic content on e.g. SCRUM, Jira etc. is leveraged as eLearningo How-To Dimension always has ‘true’ teams in its center
o How to break down the Product Vision into product roadmapo How to write User Storieso How to run SCRUM eventso Team norms and team mechanicso …
o Training sessions consist ofextensive breakout for practicing content
Further Facets of Agile Transformation
o Alignment with workers council on roles Scrum Master and Product Ownero Setup of stable teams in context of an organization sourcing from many international
locationso Establishing an Agile ready portfolio processo Evolve Agile project status reportingo Etc.
