The Agile Body
 The Brain:
  Agile Leadership, Self Organization and
  personal agile mindset
 The Heart: Short Time Box in everything

 The Legs: Running Lean, use MVPs and
  have alternatives(pivot)
 The Senses: you cannot improve if you do
  not measure

 The Family: Scaling Agile in teams using
  Agile Release Trains
 A Protector: Risk Management
Agile Leadership

Agile mindset

 Agile Adoption or Agile Transformation ?
         - Agile Principles – please re read them
         - An Agile Adoption and Transformation Survival Guide

 Do we react to things, or move things ?

 Two traps during OUR transformation
        - Personal: get to know me better (SWOT, priorities,…)
        - Team: Vulnerability at the middle of the road

Short time box
                               Iterations
                               Releases
                               Meetings
                               …

 Time box & Creativity
 Remember the PM triangle of Scope/Time/Cost
Running Lean




                                                                                                    See: “Lean Software Development: An Agile Toolkit”
                       • Is this valuable ? (for customer, …),
  Eliminate Waste         Am I efficient with resources ?




                                                                         7 Key Principles of Lean
                                                                          Software Development
  Build Quality In     • Do you learn (Inspect& Adapt) enough ?


                       • Do you have habits or processes to store and
 Create Knowledge        spread the knowledge?

                       • Delay decisions until assumptions become
 Defer Commitment        facts


    Deliver Fast       • Quicker delivery of results and fast feedback


                       • Perceived and Conceptual Integrity of the
  Build integrity in     system, easy refactoring, CI/CD

                       • See everything as a whole not as a sum of its
Optimize the Whole       parts

Use MVPs and Pivots
 Running Lean: iterations from Plan A to a plan that
  works, before running out of resources
    - speed, learning and focus
    - continuous testing and measuring if your vision is still OK
    - make sure the team/your colleagues are engaged
    - discipline and rigor / focus
 Lean Startup: use smaller and faster iterations to test your
  vision
 Run experiments
 MVP is not a product, but a strategy
