Myths and Experience from My Journey

The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt

the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.

George Bernard Shaw

Observation 1 - Business

Business Disconnection

§ Tasks and activities not connected to business results and money.

§ Development Teams do not understand underlying business case.

§ Business aspects mostly ignored amongAgile community (coaches, trainers, ...)

Suggestion§ Get Managerial Experience

11(c) Aguarra, s.r.o., Plzeňská 157 / 98, 150 00 Praha 5, www.aguarra.cz

Page 12: Agile Transformation Retrospective - Agilia Conference · § 1st Agile Transformation of company in CZ § Founder Agilia agile community, Founder of Agilia Conferences (Olomouc, Budapest,

Observation 2 - Culture & Process

§ Inappropriate organization structure (strategy product/solution)

§ Office Space set up preventing Collaboration

§ Inhouse development is free: unlimited number of requirements

§ Too many conflicting tasks / projects runs in parallel

§ Conflicting Incentives in place

§ No measurement & No metrics

Suggestion§ Do not afraid express your vision

Observation 3 - People

People Management

§ Motivation Issues

§ Onboarding

§ Training – missing development plan / strategy (approached ad-hoc)– no skills improvement in place, no capability to build large system

§ Wrong managerial examples

§ Accountability "avoidance", often through leaving for another job

Observation 4 - Habbits & Technical Skills

Technical Skills

§ Testing – biggest deficiency

§ SM as tester§ Students clicking through app, No testing strategy§ No automated tools§ TDD is time consuming, therefore skipped

§ Tool obsession

§ We wants to start Agile, what tool do you recommend?

Observation 5 - Agile Techniques

Applies to companies that started use of Agile Techniques

§ Agile = Scrum, sometimes we know Scrum & Kanban, nothing more

§ Scrum = stand up status meeting

§ Agile technique replaces no techniques, very seldom "waterfall"

§ No Scrum Product Owner, sometimes no Scrum Masters

§ No Demo/Review, no Retrospective, no product increment, no sprint objective

§ Testing sprint follows development sprint

§ Manager/Team Lead = SM, or PO, or both

§ Inappropriate technique in use

Wrapping Up

§ Have a vision for your Organization / Department / Team

§ Understand methodology and use it right (takes time)

§ Encourage people to invest in their education or let them go

§ To achieve something, there is always suffering along the way

§ Roll up the sleeves and start working
