3 – Case Study for Measure & Grow


● Leveraging SAFe for 3+ years | 90+ teams

● I&A using power point and excel

● No visibility into common patterns across teams

● Can’t hire more capacity, need to get current

teams to deliver higher output aligned to value

● The Challenge

Impediments

Unpredictable Teams

5 No Metrics

Findings from I&A Discovery

Gathered themes from last 18 months of Inspect + Adapts (power points/excel)


TeamHealth® Baseline Across 90+ TeamsClarityDo we have clarity on our vision and goals? Do we have clear plans? Do we understand our roles?

Performance – Quantitative These performance results questions focus on hard data. How often does the team release to production? How long does it take to recover from a quality issue? What is the story and feature cycle time?

LeadershipIs their leadership team providing good servant leadership? Are they supportive of continuous improvement practices and providing good governance, guidance and effective facilitation?

CultureIs accountability being taken seriously? Is Collaboration valued and do the team trust and respect each other? How good is the team and stakeholder engagement?

FoundationAre the teams delivery capabilities sufficient and is the team structured appropriately for the needs of the backlog? Are Quality, Planning, Agile practices where they need to be?


Big-Room Retrospective

• Several teams (up to 10) in one large room at the same time

• Primary facilitator kicks off retrospective

• All teams complete the assessment at the same time

• Each individual team has their own AHF to facilitate the team retrospective


Multi-Team Rollup at

Train Level


We Captured The Voice Of Our Teams

“No Roadmap, No vision, we feel orphaned.”

“We've had throw-away work from frequently changing backlog.”

“Stop changing intent after sprint starts.”

“It would be good to know why we are doing certain things? How do we know we’ve succeeded?”

“No visibility beyond a few weeks.”

“Can we know what will happen after the 1-3 week horizon?”

“We did a lot of work, but business priority changed and it was never pushed to production. There was no value for a lot of our effort.”

“Team wants to be part of vision, PO plays too many roles.”

“What will our work produce?”

“Let us switch projects when intent is paused or blocked.”

“We want 2-3PIs worth of roadmap (18 weeks!).”

“What is the value of our work?”

“Want to understand why and how of roadmap priorities.”

“There are no measures of success.”

“We understand our day-to-day tasks but would like to know what is driving these epics?”

“Unstable vision, frequent priority and timeline shifts.”

Lessons We’ve Learned at Scale

• Invest in ‘Continuous Improvement’, not assessments and surveys!• Develop a strategy for rolling out this program• Engage senior leaders from the start, share the WHY• Ensure your AHF’s have strong facilitation skills• Train managers on continuous improvement and removing OGIs• Enable Scrum Masters to make AgilityHealth measure & grow

retrospectives become part of their regular ceremonies• Enable teams to help themselves grow, support on-demand as

needed and use data to decide where to invest
