Through this work we have come to value: Individuals and interactions over processes and tools prototypes / trials Working _________________ over comprehensive documentation. 360 degree Delineated roles __________ collaboration over __________________ Responding to change over following a plan That is, while there is value in the items on the right, we value the items on the left more.

- 14. The woman in charge of Marks & Spencer's internet presence back in September 2012 was quite sure what was holding back online sales: its website, which had been run for it by Amazon under a deal signed in 2005. The M&S director in question, Laura Wade- Gery, said: "Amazon sells everything as if it was a book. We've tortured their system to do what we want it to do.“ The retailer began building its own and in February 2014 M&S unveiled a new "magazine-style" site, which drew plaudits from some reviewers. But as well as early reports of crashes, customers apparently felt that there was too much video, that they couldn't find what they wanted, and that the site was "awkward to navigate". So last week M&S knew what to blame for the news that online sales had fallen 8% in three months: its website. Finance director Alan Stewart bravely insisted that "It is a bit like going to the supermarket for milk, they've moved it and you can't find it immediately." But an 8% drop would never happen at an internet business such as Amazon, because it would have spotted it at 1% or 2% and rolled back to a better-performing version. So how can two years of effort by one of Britain's biggest companies produce something that fell so short?

- 22. Where open source fits in to change challenge You can discover what is needed by trying it and proving it works, bit by bit
- 23. Where open source fits in to change challenge You can afford to play, innovate and test within your project because the cost of change is lower
- 24. Where open source fits in to change challenge Use projects to discover, as well as to deliver something
- 25. Agile Creative Technology Methodology 5 Day Delivery Proposal To deliver 5 days of consultancy and delivery work by Reading Room in order to deliver a rapid prototype build. Project Scope: A dedicated team for 5 days of cooperative work with the Cabinet Office, with the aim of creating a ‘Solutions Exchange’ tool. • Agency/Client Team throughout • Agile Methodology Employed
- 26. How did it work? Phase 1 (First 90 mins) Brainstorm session to establish the pages required for the forum M/S/C/W Phase 2 & 3 (Mon from 1030hrs - Thurs) Truly iterative process of Dev creating pages while UX and Designer created the user journeys and design Constant communication between all team members enabled continuous iterations throughout 1 -2 catch up session per day (no more than a couple of mins) Phase 4 (Friday) Bug fixing
- 28. Pros and Cons • Benefits: • Rapid delivery • Builds client relationship • It’s good fun • Drawbacks: • Can only be used with team of decision-makers in the room • Must have confidence in ‘un-structured’ process • Don’t know the end result until you get there
- 29. How will agile be used in the future? Way in which Tradition Digital Agencies and client interact will change Strategic partnerships Evolution of Digital Presence Robust partnership with constant collaboration Consultancy component will increase over time
