What is agile?
(don’t forget, you can ask questions at sli.do and enter the code S116)
Jason Little | @jasonlittle | sli.do : S116
Let’s experiment!
I need 14 volunteers please!
Rules
❖ 1 point for each ball that passes through the team
❖ Each person must touch the ball
❖ There must be air-time between passes
❖ Cannot pass to the person beside you
❖ For each round:
❖ 1 minute to plan (must give estimate of how many balls your team can pass)
❖ 2 minutes to execute
Jason Little | @jasonlittle | sli.do : S116
As you watch, look for what
looks “agile” about how they
are working
Jason Little | @jasonlittle | sli.do : S116
The History of Agile
2001
“We decided to call it a
manifesto since it was a call to
arms and a statement of our
beliefs”
- Martin Fowler, one of the 17 signatories
Jason Little | @jasonlittle | sli.do : S116
The History of Agile
Today
Agile is much like Disney. It
owns everything you know
and love.

What Barriers Exist?
Version One
State of Agile Survey
Jason Little | @jasonlittle | sli.do : S116
Agile Then, and Now
How do we get teams to improve?
How do we support teams to do their best work?
How can we align priorities?
How can we shift
performance management?How do we manage the “climate?”
Jason Little | @jasonlittle | sli.do : S116
Perspective Matters
Strategy
“Rational View”
Political
“Social View”
Culture
“Irrational View”
Agile = centralized process improvement Agile = emergent improvement Agile = “mindset” shift
Jason Little | @jasonlittle | sli.do : S116
Remember the Plan?
Create 12 layers of management
2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 2026
Design 83 new departments
Implement bell curve of performance
Develop 175 page best practice guide for delivery
Develop 254 page best practice guide that
contradicts the 175 page version
Purchase best-of-breed delivery guide
from vendor
Do something agile related
Finalize and implement culture of blame
Jason Little | @jasonlittle | sli.do : S116
That’s Not How We Got Here
Re-organization
Externally visible failures Creation of new departments
Implementation of new centralized processes
