These are the slides from my session at Agile Toronto 2018 titled, "Let's Sharpen Your Agile Ax ... It's Story Splitting Time." Description of Talk: Do you want to write great User Stories (a.k.a. small features that are part of a product) that provide the vehicle for conversation and confirmation that we build the right thing? Do you struggle with completing stories (of business value) that are potentially shippable within a fraction of an iteration/sprint? During this session we will do a quick refresher on User Story formatting to include Acceptance Criteria. The reason for the refresher is that over the last few years, despite people using User Stories, I have experienced their usage far from the intended purpose. After the refresher, we will learn at least 3 techniques for splitting stories in this interactive workshop.]]>

Understanding the Whole System, Not Just a Part /slideshow/understanding-the-whole-system-not-just-a-part/71330842 understandingthewholesystem-170124135418
Are your solutions to recurring issues having only minor improvements? Are some of these solutions actually making things worse in the long run? When answering yes to these, typically, we are trying to solve the issues with too narrow a view. Oddly we think we are addressing it at sufficient level but usually not. In order to see the entire picture we need a common language that will enable us to understand an entire complex adaptive system (e.g. organizations, teams, individuals). Join us as we learn a language called System Modeling. With this language we will be able to have rich dialogue to gain a full understanding of the entire complex adaptive system so that we can create solutions at the fundamental level and not the symptomatic level. Addressing system issues at the fundamental level will significantly improve the system. Symptomatic solutions may give the appearance of improvement in the short term but typically make things worse in the long run. Unfortunately we usually pick the symptomatic solutions because they seem obvious and we don't realize the long term impacts because of feedback delays that could take weeks, months or even years to realize. ]]>

Get your Productivity Game On!! v3 /slideshow/get-your-productivity-game-on-v3/61322484 getyourproductivitygameonv3-160425133113
Want to bring your productivity to the next level? Let's gain a desire based on an experience to make this happen. Are you struggling with delivering a potentially releasable working product every iteration? Ever wonder what one of biggest reasons we have difficulty getting things done at the individual, team and organizational level are? Do you keep doing something even though you know it reduces your productivity and lowers quality? We are going to run an exercise that highlights one of the major culprits that you have all experienced and continue to experience. The exercise will likely ignite a little fire that will help you become more productive and improve the quality of your work. We will also discuss ways to improve this at the individual, team and organization levels. Learning Objectives for this presentation are as follows: - Gain an understanding, through an exercise, of the cost to productivity a common habit has, that many of us indulge in. - A new found desire to fix one of the major issues that reduces productivity and quality. - 2 approaches to fixing the issue. This is the version I gave at Global Scrum Gathering Orlando 2016. - See more at: https://www.scrumalliance.org/courses-events/events/global-gatherings/2016/orlando-2016]]>
