@ #1 Corporate Problem - No Clear Backlog • The #1 problem for most organizations is lack of a single, clear, ordered backlog or products and projects. • This leads to confusion, wheel spinning, and demotivated employees which results in missed dates, excuses, and finger pointing, • Fixing this problem can quickly double the production of an organization and double the revenue per unit of production. • From an investors point of view, increasing business value delivery of the same organization by 400% this year needs to be the CEO's top priority. • We have solution to this problem. It is called Scrum Product Ownership. • Acceptance Tests: • Every team has a clear, ordered backlog every sprint so they know exactly what they need to do and in what order. • Teams are stable. No teams are raided for people to start new projects. Backlog flows to stable teams. 9

@ #2 Corporate Problem - No Continuously Deployable Stable States • The #2 problem for most organizations is lack of ability to quickly deliver product in short interations. • The most critical factor is fully integrated system build time and associated testing. If this takes months or weeks and can be reduced to days or hours, production of the organization can increase by an order of magnitude. • We have an Agile solution for this. It is called: • Continuous Integration • Automated Acceptance Test Driven Development • Continuous Deployment • Acceptance tests: • Incremental fully integrated builds can be done multiple times per day • Automated acceptance tests are run with every build • Teams have a potentially shippable increment of code at the end of a sprint (or more often)
@ Organizational Architecture: 3 Constraints • Conway's law • organizations which design systems ... are constrained to produce designs which are copies of the communication structures of these organizations • Brook’s Law • adding people to a late project makes it later • Drucker’s “Cuckoo Effect” • any innovation in a corporation will stimulate the corporate immune system to create antibodies that destroy it
@ Fractal Organization: Optimal Team Size = 4.6 If there was a Nobel Prize for management, and if there was any justice in the world, I believe that the prize would be awarded, among others, to Jeff Sutherland, Ken Schwaber and Mike Cohn for their contributions to the invention of Scrum. Steve Denning, Forbes 29 Apr 2011
@ Goodbye  Org  Chart.  Fast  Company  Jun  2015 Your  structure  is  your  strategy!
@ #3 Corporate Problem - Organizational Debt • The #3 problem for most organizations is organizational debt. The structure of the organization creates so many dependencies in the product that production is crippled. • Symptoms are missing delivery dates and unhappy customers. • We have a solution for this. It is called Scrum@Scale. • Acceptance tests: • There is an Enterprise Action Team that is removing organizational impediments on a weekly basis. • Scrum Inc. provides training, consulting, and coaching to help fix these problems.

@ Characteristics of Great Teams • Transcendent Goals • Autonomy • Cross-Fertilization
@ Agile = Lean + Customer Collaboration Agile competition goes beyond lean manufacturing by permitting the customer, jointly with the vendor or provider, to determine what the product will be. For agile competitors, the ability to individualize products comes at little or no increase in manufacturing cost. It does, however exact a cost: It requires major changes in organization, management philosophy, and operations. Leadership needs to change focus: • Eliminate waste • Understand Value Stream Analysis • Implement Single Piece Continuous Flow
