Why did we write this book?

WWW.RADTAC .CO .UK

....

There is no non-framework biased Agile Foundation book that holistically brings everything ‘Agile’ together in one place – this is it

Pragmatic AgileOne size doesn’t fit all


....

Our Education System

Agile Evolved

TrafalgarThe original project

WWW.RADTAC .CO .UK

Large programme to face challenge of being supplier dependant

Recognised need to launch new products and features when William Hill wanted to rather than the supplier

Customer service and on-line experience a key differentiator

Significant number of moving demands as far a requirements

Technology that was a “responsive design” – one deployment to all platforms

Proving intractable to waterfall delivery

....

TrafalgarMind the Gap


....

“We saw that we needed to deliver the Trafalgar software project and recognised the gap between where we were and what we needed to improve efficiency of delivery for that product, this was a gap we had to close”

Adopted Agile to solve these issues of uncertainty that don’t suit waterfall

Solution:

Introduced a Small team from Radtac to develop Agile approach

Started small on a sub team

Communication, visibility, effectiveness, self-improvement

Strategysupported by Agile


....

“The only sustainable competitive advantage is your organisation’s ability to learn faster than the competition”

“We do not blame for failure….we criticise those who fail to help or fail to ask for help”

Attitudes

To create an enjoyable and memorable experience our customers love and trust

We do this through a deep understanding of our customers’ desires, delivering innovation in a constantly improving and engaging environment

WHY?WHAT?

Why we couldn’t go on like this


....

Silo organisation

Big picture frustrated by delivery mechanism

Very time consuming and expensive to run in a rapidly changing market with cost and tax pressures

Why we can work like this


....

Agile teams to deliver projects and programmes

Big picture prioritised and feature driven to early delivery

New tools such as Yammer, Transformation team

Less of this... ...More of this


F2F Collaboration Efficiency More Actions Results Learnings

Success is not final.Failure is not fatal.

It is the courage to continue that counts

The Courage
