What is Agile?


Introductory Material

Complexity and the Cynefin Sense Making Framework (complex versus complicated and more)

A Leader’s Framework for Decision Making by David J. Snowden and Mary E. Boone

The framework sorts the issues facing leaders into five contexts defined by the nature of the relationship between cause and effect. Four of these—simple, complicated, complex, and chaotic—require leaders to diagnose situations and to act in contextually appropriate ways. The fifth—disorder—applies when it is unclear which of the other four contexts is predominant.

...

All too often, managers rely on common leadership approaches that work well in one set of circumstances but fall short in others. Why do these approaches fail even when logic indicates they should prevail? The answer lies in a fundamental assumption of organizational theory and practice: that a certain level of predictability and order exists in the world.  This assumption, grounded in the Newtonian science that underlies scientific management, encourages simplifications that are useful in ordered circumstances. Circumstances change, however, and as they become more complex, the simplifications can fail. Good leadership is not a one-size-fits-all proposition.

Anything by Henrik Kniberg 

My Favorite Agile Illustrations from Henrik Kniberg of Spotify Fame: fabulous collection of some of his best drawings and most important, links to the videos that they came from.

HENRIK KNIBERG | Confessions of a Change Agent | Agile Rock Conference 2018 

    • Attitude not a role
    • Change is easy if people want it
    • Inspire > Change
    • Slow down to Speed Up
    • Plant Seeds
    • Don't beat a dead horse
    • Fix it or accept it
    • Scale yourself, never work alone
    • No ego
    • Don't be a toast Scraper
    • Don't sell solutions, sell problems
    • Make things visible
    • Don't inflict help on people
    • Get the right people into the room
    • Law of 2 feet
    • Be brave, be humble, stay curious

Agile: Where Are We At? 

  • Michelle recommends the entire video, but here are some pointed highlights
    • Traditional project management approach versus Agile approach
      • 2:20 to 6:00
    • Great resource utilization demo and the importance of "pull"ing, prioritization, and maintaining slack. 
      • 11:00 to 18:20
    • Rewarding working hard/effort versus output versus value.  Progressing from effort → output → value focused
      • 19:00 to 23:00

What to do When Scrum Doesn't Work?

Utilization Trap (Total time: 5:33)

Focus (or Stop Starting, Start Finishing)

  • Michelle recommends the entire video, but here are some pointed highlights.
    • Impact of task/context switching
      • 13:40 to 21:00
    • Resource utilization demo, very similar to the one from Agile:Where Are We At.  Importance of "pull"ing and prioritization.   When you want busy people you get busy people... is it good when your CPU is working 100%?
      • 32:33
    • More on pull
      • 38:07 to 39:15
    • More on slack.  Importance of just in time allocation.
      • 41:13 to 42:26
    • Ingredients to create focus: slack, say no, prioritization mechanism
      • 42:28

    • All firms are adapting the practices to fit their own context
    • The management practices are both durable and fragile
    • The new management practices can create a passionate workforce
    • This transition to Agile is happening
