To shift or not to shift (the paradigm of the software industry)
0 likes3,136 views
The document discusses the need for organizations to shift from the traditional "industrial paradigm" software development model to an Agile paradigm in order to adapt to today's rapidly changing digital landscape. It describes how the traditional model treats every disruption as a crisis and leads teams to constantly fight fires, while the Agile paradigm embraces ambiguity and complexity through creativity and collaboration. The document advocates for Scrum as the leading Agile framework, which helps teams sense problems, take action, and build better software faster through short iterative cycles.
To shift or not to shift (the paradigm of the software industry)
- 1. To shift or not to shift (the software industry paradigm) Gunther Verheyen Global Scrum Leader Capgemini May 2012
- 2. Hello world… Liberated markets The age of twitter Market pressure A global economy The consumerization of IT Fast media coverage Competing opinions Distributed skills Legislations and regulations Stakeholder impatience Unstable stakeholders Dispersed decision taking Technical integration “Have you got an app for that?” Collaborative competition Strategy revisions “Is there an update for that?” Shrinking lead times The must of mobile
- 3. This volcano of uncontrollable disruptions creates a BURNING PLATFORM. All the time. You can deny it, but you cannot escape it. Your ICEBERG is melting.
- 4. You seek, but don’t find control. You can’t manage it all. You become a FIREFIGHTER. All the time. Because every eruption, every unforeseen event is a CRISIS. And is treated that way.
- 5. The firefighter act isn't helping. It takes all your time and you still lag behind. All the time. Did you miss the train to EXTREMISTAN? Do you still hang on to the ancient control models?
- 6. Why hang on to the old industrial paradigm of the software industry? Where superior staff designs and plans executable tasks for workers overlooked by hierarchical supervisors. Where QA is always done… too late.
- 7. The significant anomalies of the old paradigm did give rise to a new one. The AGILE paradigm thrives on competing ideas. Ambiguity and complexity are resolved by people and creativity. Encourage Change
- 8. SCRUM became the leading Agile framework. With Scrum we sense, probe and adapt. At all levels. We set objectives, explore options and take actions.
- 9. The distinct rules of Scrum help to absorb the new paradigm. The HOUSE OF SCRUM protects from rigid behavior. To build better software. Faster. In 30 days, or less.
- 10. Scrum opens up a world of new opportunities: • Servant-leadership è Scrum Master. • Budget / Ordering è Product Owner. • Technical tasks & Quality è Development Team.
