Agile is Evolving…
• Growing beyond the software industry
• Agile is Mindset movement
• Business influencers spreading the word
• Agile can be a business tool
• Harvard Business Review, Forbes magazine
• Modern Agile movement
• Simplifies and generalizes agile for broader audiences
• Only 4 guiding principles
• Make people awesome
• Make safety a prerequisite
• Experiment and learn rapidly
• Deliver continuous value
Agile culture change is becoming better understood
• Culture is a shared set of beliefs, values, and assumptions
• Shifting culture must happen obliquely
• Learning anxiety must be less than survival anxiety
• Change 2-3 behaviors at a time and you will change beliefs
• Executives and leaders need coaching too!
• Selling agile to executives is still hard
• Stop using trade lingo
• Stop playing games
• Stop referencing Dilbert
• Leverage case studies, short videos, expert testimonies

Agile at scale in the enterprise is becoming mainstream
• Transformation patterns have emerged
• Smart companies are focusing on outcomes over process
• Choose agile practices that improve throughput and results
• Often requires org restructuring to achieve lean and agile delivery
• Multiple frameworks represented (listed by popularity)
• Scrum of Scrums
• SAFe
• Spotify Tribes
• Large Scale Scrum (LeSS)
• Disciplined Agile Delivery
• Nexus
• PMOs are becoming PfMOs (Portfolio Management Offices)
• Shift from explicit projects to leaner epics as unit of portfolio work and
measurement

Are your server PETS or CATTLE?
Streamlining DevOps
• Cattle vs Pets
• Containers
• Infrastructure as Code (IaC)
• Self service app & container fabrics (CaaS)
Docker is a game changer!
From a presentation titled “CERN Data Centre Evolution” that details the scientific organisation's 12,000-odd servers and plans to manage them more efficiently.

Intermodal Shipping Container
…in between, can be loaded and
unloaded, stacked, transported
efficiently over long distances,
and transferred from one mode
of transport to another
A standard container that is
loaded with virtually any
goods, and stays sealed until
it reaches final delivery.

…that can be manipulated using
standard operations and run
consistently on virtually any
hardware platform
An engine that enables any
payload to be encapsulated
as a lightweight, portable,
self-sufficient container…
Why it works—separation of concerns
• Dan the Developer
• Worries about what’s “inside” the
container
• His code
• His Libraries
• His Package Manager
• His Apps
• His Data
• All Linux servers look the same
• Oscar the Ops Guy
• Worries about what’s “outside”
the container
• Logging
• Remote access
• Monitoring
• Network config
• All containers start, stop, copy,
attach, migrate, etc. the same
way
