Can be a pre-defined delivery path or a combination Process to improve or retire the solution Continuous process for the operation of the solution Triggers for a major or a maintenance iteration

Ceremonies Product backlog - prioritized list of desired project outcomes/features Sprint backlog - set of work from the product backlog that the team agrees to complete in a sprint, broken into tasks Burndown chart - at-a-glance look at the work remaining Artifacts

- 10. ©2012, Fujitsu That’s the essence of Agile 10Macroscope: delivering value with agility Doing the Right Things Getting Things Done Doing Things Right Solution components are necessary and sufficient, functional, integrated, cohesive, maintainable… Stakeholder needs are expressed, understood, prioritized and met Leading the right resources and enabling the environment to deliver the solution efficiently (shorter time, lower cost, higher quality) Delivering Business Value Coach (Resources) Product Owner (Needs) Team (Solution)

- 12. ©2012, Fujitsu Organizational impacts of agile culture 12 Prepare for fast development pace • Quick answers to business questions is essential • Quick turn around of deliverables is essential • Workshop profile will evolve from fewer workshops with large groups to many more workshops of smaller focus groups Patience is a virtue… • Agility means quick turnaround, but also means errors and omissions in the earlier part of the lifecycle • For teams new to Agile this can be a stressful time • Business and IT must be supportive of each other • Experienced Agile teams are accustomed to this period of unpredictability • Quality will quickly increase as detail is uncovered • Risk profile should show a rapid decline • The experience is ultimately very rewarding for many teams Macroscope: delivering value with agility
- 13. ©2012, Fujitsu Organizational impacts of agile culture 13 Foster “Egoless” teams • Many hands will touch many deliverables • Developers will share coding duties, pick up each other’s work during development • Rotate modules through team members to minimize “not-invented-here” attitude • Respect roles (and the decisions they make) • Architects architect! • PMs PM! • SMEs advise! • Testers test! • Co-locate business and IT teams to build respect • Leadership constantly monitors team balance Macroscope: delivering value with agility Perfectionists will get in the way • Detail is important, but will be discovered and implemented over time • Over-design will be removed • As a rule agile projects take a shorter- term view of the design of an application • The process of re-factoring the design over iterations and releases results in an extensible and maintainable application • The solution architect makes the final call • Don’t use an Agile approach to build a space shuttle!
