It stresses that the secret to achieving agility is focusing on people by empowering them through self-organizing teams and transforming company culture through daily agile practices and values.
Agility Check-Up is an assessment that evaluates Agile teams and organizations across six perspectives: maturity of roles, teamwork, inspect and adapt processes, transparency, business alignment, and learning organization. Consultants assess each perspective through surveys, meetings, team room visits, and communication to determine maturity levels and identify improvement actions. The assessment aims to help teams and organizations adapt to change and improve their agility.
This document discusses the need for companies to adapt to rapid changes in the world by embracing agile and lean principles. It notes that the world is changing quickly in many areas like technologies, tools, behaviors and organizations.

This emphasizes the importance of being agile to respond to changing requirements and priorities. The document promotes agile methodologies like Scrum, Kanban, and principles of lean and software craftsmanship to help organizations and teams continuously deliver value to customers.
This document discusses how Scrum can fail if not implemented properly. It lists behaviors that could lead to Scrum failure, such as not fully understanding Scrum values, changing rules without reason, destroying transparency, ignoring quality practices, and staying away from customers. It emphasizes that success or failure depends on how individuals use Scrum, not on Scrum itself. The document is from an agile consulting company promoting proper Scrum usage.
The document discusses challenges with traditional waterfall software development approaches and makes the case for adopting agile methodologies. Some key points:
- Traditional approaches focus too much on upfront planning and scope definition, which often leads to changes later on that cause delays and missed deadlines.
- Agile prioritizes delivering working software frequently in short iterations to get early customer feedback and make adjustments more easily.
- Scrum is introduced as a popular agile framework that emphasizes self-organizing cross-functional teams, short development cycles called sprints, and flexibility to change requirements.
- A transformation is needed across the organization to shift from traditional command-and-control styles to collaborative agile values like continuous

Kanban for Software Development and Kaizen CultureAcquate
Ìý
Talk #1 - Kanban for Developers
There is much hype about Kanban since it was perfected and introduced to the world by Toyota. Since then, not only manufacturers but all businesses looked into this simple but extremely powerful approach.
As software developers are yearning for better project management and visibility on all aspects of their work, Kanban naturally blipped on their radar.
In this session, we will look at the origins of Kanban, how it applies to software development along with misunderstandings and myths. We will also compare manufacturing practices with software development techniques and see how we can benefit from their experiences. During the session we will have some interactive exercises to help us better understand Kanban and becoming more efficient and productive by limiting the amount of work we do.
Talk #2 - Kaizen: Continuous Process Improvement
Enterprises can utilize Process Improvement to improve their workflow, allowing them to be more efficient, eliminate bottlenecks and problem areas, and as a result, achieve reduced costs, on-time delivery and increased profits. Currently, enterprises are facing stiffer competition to win customer acceptance through quality, and the need to develop more customer-oriented products and services faster than ever before.
Einstein said "We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.", and that is what lies at the heart of Kaizen. Improvement comes with a different look at the problems and doing this continuously every day and everywhere. It is more of a company culture than a project.
But where do we start improving? British comic writer Douglas Adams said "See first, think later, then test. But always see first. Otherwise you will only see what you were expecting.". And that is exactly where we start. By looking deep into our workflow and process.
In this session, we will look at Kaizen philosophy, why change is important and very hard to do. we'll also analyze waste and why it is bad for our business and see how quality-first approach makes us better at what we do. I will also provide some test cases and finish off by looking into implementing a Kaizen culture at the office by involving everybody.

This document discusses transforming an organization to an agile methodology. It recommends starting small with agile practices, scaling up successes as experience is gained, and focusing on changing people's mindsets, values, and culture to fully embrace agile principles.
The document discusses key elements of agile metrics for organizations. It recommends measuring outcomes like working software over individual activities. Good metrics focus on time to market, value, and innovation at both the organizational and team level. Examples of metrics include percentage of features completed, release frequency, customer satisfaction, and defect rates. Metrics should be transparent and encourage continuous learning.
Agile transformation is no more that much challenging with our unique way of leading agility. In order to enhance agility and adopt an Agile culture, it is crucial to lead the change activities in multiple levels; daily processes of teams, organizations structure and its operating model, demand handling. Together with well established governance teams and a sharply focused roadmap, benefits will rise sooner.

Alternatives to Go Agile / Turn Over - MotivationACM
Ìý
These presentations explore alternative benefits of Agile methods beyond well-known benefits like managing changing priorities, faster time to market, and higher quality. Agile frameworks like Scrum are considered. Turnover and motivation are discussed as Turkish IT professional statistics show most have less than 10 years experience and change jobs every 1-2 years, costing companies significantly. Reasons for job changes include lack of satisfaction, pay, growth and fun. Agile solutions that incorporate autonomy, mastery and purpose are proposed to improve motivation and performance through self-organization.
