Pearls For Improving Operational Efficiency

This template can be used as a starter file for presenting training materials in a group setting.

SectionsRight-click on a slide to add sections. Sections can help to organize your slides or facilitate collaboration between multiple authors.

NotesUse the Notes section for delivery notes or to provide additional details for the audience. View these notes in Presentation View during your presentation. Keep in mind the font size (important for accessibility, visibility, videotaping, and online production)

Coordinated colors Pay particular attention to the graphs, charts, and text boxes. Consider that attendees will print in black and white or grayscale. Run a test print to make sure your colors work when printed in pure black and white and grayscale.

Graphics, tables, and graphsKeep it simple: If possible, use consistent, non-distracting styles and colors.Label all graphs and tables.

We are going to be introducing a social contract that deals with the relationships between each team member, and between the team and the organisation.

Give a brief overview of the presentation. Describe the major focus of the presentation and why it is important.Introduce each of the major topics.To provide a road map for the audience, you can repeat this Overview slide throughout the presentation, highlighting the particular topic you will discuss next.

Scrum doesn't solve all your problems.It just makes them visible.

This is another option for an Overview slides using transitions.

Collocation Research has shown that only 7% of communication is the content of the message The rest is body language, voice tone, context

How often distributed team members communicate.

The effects of task switching

Most productive team size based on extensive research and study.

6+-3
Paths of communication = n(n-1)/2
6 member team = 15 paths.

This is another option for an Overview slide.

Technical debt

Comes from work that is not really "Done"

Has to be paid at some point, unless your plan includes bankruptcy

Hidden, undone work accumulates

What will the audience be able to do after this training is complete? Briefly describe each objective how the audience will benefit from this presentation.

Forms of Technical Debt

Defects Lack of automated build High code complexity Lack of automated deployment Lack of unit tests Highly coupled code Business Logic in the wrong places Too few acceptance tests High cyclomatic complexity Duplicated code or modules Unreadable / hard to read names or algorithmsUse a section header for each of the topics, so there is a clear transition to the audience.

Technical Debt is a Crisis in our Profession

Customers or Stake holders believe they can demand something and it can be done

Developers willingly or unconscionably cut quality to support the belief

Results includeDevelopers and customers resent the profession,Failing products, failing companies, and hateful work.We are there now

Keep it brief. Make your text as brief as possible to maintain a larger font size.

How did we get here?

It takes 3-10 years for an organisation to back itself into this corner

Once in this corner, your competition can develop & deliver new functionality much faster than you

For every $ of competitive advantage gained by cutting quality, it costs $4 to restore it

Software is an organizational asset and decisions to cut quality must be made by executive management and reflected in the financial statements

Paying back technical debt

Stop creating debt

Make a small payment each and every Sprint

Team must solve their own problems

Its the SMs job to enable the team to do this.

Not to solve the problems for them.

(self managing)



If there is relevant video content, such as a case study video, demo of a product, or other training materials, include it in the presentation as well.

What is the Sprint Review for?

This is the stake holders opportunity to provide input into what they see the most important work items are to be worked on next.

A collaborative working session, not just a demonstration.



If there is relevant video content, such as a case study video, demo of a product, or other training materials, include it in the presentation as well.
