Diving into Agile, Scrum, and Half Double

The world of Agile

and how Half Double

add value

23

The story of Agile…

On February 2001, at The Lodge at Snowbird ski resort in the

Wasatch mountains of Utah, seventeen people met to talk…

24

The agile manifesto is a philosophy

Individuals and interactions over processes and tools

Customer collaboration over contract negotiation

Working solutions over comprehensive documentation

Responding to change over following a plan

25

A true project methodology

consist of…

beliefs and values...

rules of living and non negotiables…

the concept…

ways of working and converting principles into reality…

ways to apply it…

Philosophy

Principles

Core elements

Methods

Tools

A Project Management Methodology is an organized collection of concepts, methods, belief, values and normative principles supported by material resources. Hirschheim et al. 1995: 22

26

In its pure form Agile is only a philosophy

with 12 principles

Individuals and interactions over processes and tools Customer collaboration over contract negotiation Working solutions over comprehensive documentation Responding to change over following a plan

Customer satisfaction by early and continuous delivery of valuable solutions Welcome changing requirements, even in late development Working solutions is delivered frequently (weeks rather than months) Close, daily cooperation between business people and developers Projects are built around motivated individuals, who should be trusted Face-to-face conversation is the best form of communication (co-location)

Working solutions is the principal measure of progress Sustainable development, able to maintain a constant pace Continuous attention to technical excellence and good design Simplicity—the art of maximizing the amount of work not done—is essential Best architectures, requirements, and designs emerge from self-organizing teams Regularly, the team reflects on how to become more effective, and adjusts accordingly

Scrum Acceptance test-driven development Adaptive software development Agile Unified Process Behavior-driven development

Iterative and incremental development Dynamic systems development method Feature-driven development Lean software development Kanban development

Business analyst designer method Continuous integration Disciplined agile delivery Domain-driven design Extreme programming

Rapid application development Scrumban Test-driven development

27

AGILE is like HEALTH

– not a method but a overall mindset

HOW DO YOU BECOME HEALTH?

28

Half Double is a complete project

methodology – no missing links

We value impact above scope, cost and time We value stakeholder satisfaction above comprehensive

specification and contract negotiation We value flow and progression above multitasking

Stakeholder satisfaction is the ultimate success criterion High intensity and frequent interaction Embrace uncertainty and make the project happen

The Agile principles and its blind spots are

embraced in the 9 methods of Half Double

Impact

Impact case: Ensure stakeholder satisfaction with impact in mind

Impact solution design: Reduce time to impact and enhance early value creation

Pulse check: Ensure insights and dialogue amongst key stakeholders

Flow

50% allocation and co-location: High intensity to ensure weekly progression in the project

Rhythm: Fixed project heartbeat and rhythm in key events

Visual planning: Make the project visual to enhance commitment, alignment and common understanding

Leadership

Active project owner: An active, committed project owner who engages directly with the project on an ongoing basis

Collaborative project leader: Projects consist of people and are created by people

Reflective and adaptive mindset: To cope with turbulence, chaos, conflicts and changes in the project environment

Customer satisfaction by early and continuous delivery of valuable solutions

Welcome changing requirements, even in late development

Working solutions is delivered frequently (weeks rather than months)

Close, daily cooperation between business people and developers

Projects are built around motivated individuals, who should be trusted

Face-to-face conversation is the best form of communication (co-location)

Working solutions is the principal measure of progress

Sustainable development, able to maintain a constant pace

Continuous attention to technical excellence and good design

Simplicity—the art of maximizing the amount of work not done—is essential

Best architectures, requirements, and designs emerge from self-organizing teams

Regularly, the team reflects on how to become more effective, and adjusts accordingly

33

Half Double is an agile project methodology

with full impact focus

Half Double dare to simplify reality to 9 methods and 9 tools

A strong focus on impact

rather than only working solutions

(deliverables) A clear focus on high level ownership to

the project rather than ‘just’ a

normal product owner

A broader focus on

stakeholder satisfaction

and not only product owner/end users

Answer in 15 min… and be ready to present in 2 min

1How would you recommend to expand SCRUM in your organisation to accommodate

for its blind spots (stakeholder engagement, leadership and true impact focus?)

2How can we diffuse Half Double even more, linking it to the Agile trend?

Diving into Agile

How does Half Double

tap into SAFe?

(3 level SAFe)

38

SAFe in a nutshell

• Software focus (ITIL?)• Merge of development

and application mngmt• Portfolio approach with

overall release trains• Programs for each release• SCRUM in execution

Core elements

Synchronize alignment, collaboration and delivery – for a large number of teams

• A framework – not a transformation approach

• Top down management –not leadership

• Complicated and rigid with many methods - not simplicity

Challenges

39

Agile transformation

Going agile will affect the overall leadership

more than CxO’s think

Project/Team

• Agile methodologies

• Sprint planning

• Focus on impact

• Increase freedom

• Increase restriction

• Balance resource allocation

Portfolio
