data to inform our

decisions & priorities?

thoughts in the chat


What Is A Baseline?

A “baseline” is what we refer to as the ability to gather maturity and performance data across all of your teams at once to gain insights of your teams current state and identify strengths and areas for improvement.

Baseline data helps inform investment decisions and enables you to maximize, targeted areas of focus (i.e.; coaching, training, etc.)


Why It’s Important Now

Allows the ability to assess a large

number of teams and identify patterns

Use data to make data-driven

decisions to re-align your 2020 priorities

Identify targeted areas for leaders to

focus on

Maximize investments and

spending

Leverage Continuous

Improvement teams to remove obstacles

The TeamHealth® RadarLeadershipIs their leadership team providing good servant leadership? Are they supportive of continuous improvement practices and providing good governance, guidance and effective facilitation?

CultureIs accountability being taken seriously? Is collaboration valued and do the team trust and respect each other? How good is the team and stakeholder engagement?

FoundationAre the teams delivery capabilities sufficient and is the team structured appropriately for the needs of the backlog? Are Quality, Planning, Agile practices where they need to be?

ClarityDo we have clarity on our vision and goals? Do we have clear plans? Do we understand our roles?

Performance – Quantitative (TH 2.5)These performance results questions focus on hard data. How often does the team release to production? How long does it take to recover from a quality issue? What is the story and feature cycle time?

Rollout Models For AgilityHealth® & CIA- Coaching Support Model

• Rollout AH to support hands-on coaches

• Assess a group of teams that will receive coaching

• Identify target areas to focus on• Use data to drive improvements• Provide hands-on coaching for

target teams• Scope is limited to the capacity

of coaching• Example: 5 – 10 teams at a time

based on coaching capacity

B- Scalable Enablement Model

• Rollout AH to enable teams to help themselves through their team leaders

• Assess a larger number of teams and identify patterns

• Identify target areas to focus on• Use data to drive improvements• Leverage CI teams to remove

obstacles (leaders, managers, SMs, coaches, tech leaders)

• Scope is broader and scalable• Example: 50-100 teams = 2-3 week

rollout

How: Rollout Implementation StepsHow many teams you take through the process depends on if you

choose model A or B for rolling out AgilityHealth


Big-Room Retrospective

• Several teams (up to 10) in one large room at the same time• Primary facilitator kicks off

retrospective• All teams complete the

assessment at the same time• Each individual team has

their own AHF to facilitate the team retrospective• Cross-team sharing and

manager debriefing


Why Big Room Retrospectives?• Establish a baseline quickly – a portfolio of

teams establishes robust baseline assessment• Quality of data is higher due to the

controlling of outside variables• Point-in-time data• Consistency of user experience• Discussion generates positive energy

amongst team members• Fosters collaborative environment &

generates momentum for continuous improvement
