prettykoolapps.com blog.coryfoy.com Cory Foy foyc@coryfoy.com @cory_foy Tuesday, February 25, 14 My name is Cory Foy and my background includes all of those. Through my company, I and my colleagues with with organizations large and small helping adopt agile and lean practices and principles. But my background is also from a software side. I have clients that I do software development for, and I also serve as CTO of Pretty Kool Apps, building mobile apps for kids and therapists. So my approach to the process side isn’t from the traditional PM perspective, but from a “how is this best for the teams on the ground” approach. You can also see this in my posts on my blog, where you’ll be able to find these slides after the conference. Ok, enough shameless self-promotion, because I want to start with Agile.
Agile Tuesday, February 25, 14 When I asked how many of you “do Agile” what came in to your mind was likely the thought of agility, gracefully dancing across your software product.
Agile /ˈajəl/ 1. Doesn’t Exist 2. Describes project management that wants to seem “hip” 3. May refer to the Agile Manifesto, or one of the myriad of frameworks and methodologies sprung from the manifesto, or a collection of practices and tools which somewhat resemble one of the myriad of frameworks and methodologies under the agile manifesto http://www.flickr.com/photos/b1ue5ky/3621908203 Tuesday, February 25, 14 But oftentimes when I ask people who say they do agile what they actually do, it becomes a little stranger. While I’m sure ironing on the top of a flipping SUV does require great agility, it’s not quite what I think of. In fact, if we were to define agile...
Tuesday, February 25, 14 In fact, it might even go as far as this. But even if an Agile Methodology doesn’t exist, the agile movement has create some really valuable elements, starting with the agile manifesto
Tuesday, February 25, 14 What happened was just over 10 years ago people who had been well versed in heavyweight processes got together to say there must be a better way. Some of them had already begun working towards other ways. But in coming together they found agreement in this 4 values

Tuesday, February 25, 14 things like XP, Crystal, DaD, DSDM, AUP and many others. The goal behind all of these is to respond to change faster, delivering better value in a lightweight fashion. In fact, Alistair’s Crystal methodology defines various levels depending upon the adoption. But the arguably best known of these is
Scrum http://www.flickr.com/photos/royskeane/413103429 Tuesday, February 25, 14 In Scrum, the visual is that we all come together to move the ball forward. And I want to spend a little bit of time explaining what Scrum is so we can see how it ties together. So where did Scrum come from?
Scrum - A Project Management Framework - Designed to Protect Teams - Focuses on Delivering Chunks of Value Tuesday, February 25, 14 Scrum came about as a way to protect teams from micromanagement...We think of Scrum as the 3 of 3s

Scrum Scaling Scrum Scrum of Scrums Product Owner Teams Large Scale Retrospectives Tuesday, February 25, 14
Scrum Scaling Scrum Tuesday, February 25, 14 The problem is that many of the approaches to scaling are highly prescriptive. People want to know the “how” just long enough to understand the “why”. And our tools have to support this.
“In posing this question, they were not asking about specific techniques...[but] what are the key principles to guide our actions?” Tuesday, February 25, 14 Womack and Jones ran into this problem as well. Executives are typically smart people - they may not know the lingo, but they can understand success in many cases.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/toyotamheurope/6250072249 Tuesday, February 25, 14 Not only for us working together, but for our entire team and organization. After all, teams are made up of people. And people have different points of views, expectations, visions, and goals. We need a way to work within all of that - and prescribing to them how to work without getting feedback from them will miss many valuable learning opportunities.
Lean Use Pull Systems to Avoid Overproduction Continuous Process Flow Level Out the Workflow Stop to Fix Problems Use Visual Controls Use Standardized Tasks and Processes Become a Learning Organization (hansei / kaizen) Tuesday, February 25, 14 This approach of using empirical data to define and improve our processes, was labeled “Lean” by Womack and Jones as a way of signaling being able to do more and more with less and less - in a good way.

In it, they took the 14 principles and boiled them down to 7 principles and 22 tools.

Lean Systems Thinking Tuesday, February 25, 14 The idea of systems thinking is one of the most critical, because it highlights that if we want to change behaviors, we have to change the system which produced the behaviors. For example, a companies culture comes out of peoples’ experiences, so if you want to change the culture, you have to change the way they are managed. Therefore, if our goal is to slap our name on something, then we can adopt whatever we want. But if we want to truly affect change, we need a process which can help us adapt to where the real issues are
