And when it comes to Agile, it is just not about software delivery. Today, Agile is a concern for the C-suite as it is about driving change from top to bottom within the organization. Implementing Agile for day-to-day operations is all about uncovering better ways to achieve the best possible result.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, understanding how Agile can be implemented within the organization needs a certain context. Enterprises need to find a way that permeates the message of Agile that is impactful, easily understandable, and versatile enough to scale across departments. Agile implementation for day-to-day operations within the enterprise needs buy-in from the top and simplifying the landscape around the framework.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/OAto7PgU_8w\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Invensis Learning, a premier training, and certification organization that provides widely-recognized Agile Project Management certification courses decided to do a quick survey on simplifying Agile implementation for day-to-day operations. As a training and certification provider, we wanted to clearly understand firsthand from Agile Practitioners how a complex approach like Agile which in the majority is used for software development can be implemented in other areas within the organization.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, we created geography-specific research on the subject and approached Agile Practitioners from the US, UK, and Australia to begin with, and the response was overwhelming. These excerpts are not compiled by any in-house writer; these are from the leading industry experts with 10-15+ years of experience in their respective domains. So, let\u2019s understand simplifying Agile Implementation for day-to-day operations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><\/b><b>1. Jose Francisco Valiente, <\/b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Agile Project Manager, IBM, Greater Boston Area, US<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What are companies doing with the Agile process, differently, to simplify their operations?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Value Delivery Focus: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Companies understand the idea of delivering less, but delivering smaller projects, or parts of a project, more often by breaking a large task down into smaller deliverables. Breaking down these tasks into MVPs (Minimum Viable Products) it allows Agile teams to iterate and deliver smaller pieces of value that allow the users to achieve their goals at an early stage and for improvement to features as they progress.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Clarity on the Deliverables<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Even with an unclear development path, organizations are willing to start work faster and learn on the go and work with the users to share their work and validate the ideas and experiences delivered. Using practices such as the wall of work, stand-ups, planning, showcases, and retrospectives organizations keep their effort on the goals while the teams remain focused and motivated.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>User Centricity<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: An Agile Process allows us to understand our customer&#8217;s needs and requirements and implement those experiences for them. An example of this would be &#8220;Methodologies as Design Thinking&#8221; which can be perfectly combined to help companies identify users, build their profiles, and design the right work for them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Does it Make Sense?<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Many times, we find ourselves immersed in a lot of work that we don&#8217;t know or understand its relevance to the business. Questioning why we are doing things and aligning these to the Company&#8217;s Mission and Vision can help us define where we need to invest our time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Companies looking to simplify their processes need to understand the balance between <\/span><b>doing the right work<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><b>doing the work right<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is fundamental for their business to thrive. Having an Agile Mindset is one way that a business, company, client, or customer can achieve that goal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>2. Jo Hawkins, <\/b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Director, JKBK Consultancy, Perth, UK<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I currently have the great pleasure of working as a consultant to a UK Private Sector water utility company, with the objective of \u2018standing up\u2019 their agile approach to delivering change. The infrastructure is complex and the change requirements are never-ending, and as far as agile goes, they are at ground zero.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Simplification has been key over these 3 initial months. My focus has been on:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to bring people on board without blinding them with the science and \u2018Agile speak\u2019 that, let\u2019s face it, doesn\u2019t mean that much to anyone without a modicum of exposure to agile<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to role-model Agile behaviors and best practices without alienating those around me<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to prove Agile works and delivers on its promises.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The key for me has been to bring out my inner hippy and practice mindfulness in relation to the Agile manifesto. After every stand-up\/meeting\/work-related activity and at the end of the day I check myself against the following:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Has the conversation we have had been the true focus of my attention?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Have I listened to understand?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Am I confident that the action we have agreed is the right one?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Are my customers displaying confidence in the development team\u2019s ability to deliver?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Is the development team displaying confidence in their ability to deliver?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Are both my customers and my development team constantly talking about the shippable products, with or without me?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Have I always been present in the moment?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Are we, as a collective, responding positively to and being accepting of \u2018change to the change\u2019?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Are we testing, testing, testing?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I temperature check the development team and myself constantly around how we are feeling \u2013 both physically, mentally, and emotionally \u2013 a Scrum retrospective is far too late for that \u2013 are we smiling, have we laughed, are we eating sensibly and getting exercise \u2013 there are a thousand ways you can do that without getting out the nurse\u2019s clipboard.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I temperature check my customers constantly \u2013 did that meeting work for you\/ is the team delivering\/ how do you feel about the test results\/ did we respond quickly enough\/ are you smiling and not grimacing at me\/ are you asking for more?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is early days, and I can\u2019t possibly attest to how the company will adopt Agile long-term. What I can say is that I have meaningful conversations with my customers and my team without getting into the \u2018Agile speak\u2019 (as much as I love it); I am flexing across the Agile disciplines as best fits each user story without it becoming a drama (they don\u2019t really need to know if we&#8217;re all Scrum, XP, Kanban or DSDM, etc. about things): and the development team are happy and loving it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By the way, there are many reflective moments when I realized I got it all wrong. The beauty of tomorrow is that it\u2019s another day so take the Kaizen moment, apply it and move on.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>3. Andrew Phillips, <\/b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Senior Agile Project Manager, Bell Integration, Bristol, UK<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are several things that need to be taken care of when using Agile. Apart from the obvious setting up a backlog and having a product manager that has intimate knowledge of what you are trying to create.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First, you need more discipline not less, and must keep a log of engineer and business decisions linked back to the original business case. Things can move fast in Agile, and if you don&#8217;t track what the original business was, it is easy to lose your way, delivering some value but missing one of the essential objectives. I&#8217;ve seen it done on numerous occasions, and companies take on Agile and throw away good management practice, delivering a project which misses an essential part and leaves them in deep trouble. Agile takes more effort not less but can provide great value in an uncertain development.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the other misnomers about Agile is what can change. Top-level managers seem to miss that you need a stable development team. The premise is Agile so everything can change is applied across the enterprise. The approach is Agile, but you need the same level of effort across the sprints to be able to measure throughput. So stealing developers back to do an urgent fault triage or having a constant churn on the team is going to make it very hard to estimate finish times. I am sure no one here would do this, but having a multifunctional team delivering an agile project makes it difficult to estimate and drive forward. By multifunction, I mean one that does agile development and second-line support, etc. Then you have other effects taking the resource, and the scrum master may not be authorized to hold these off.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Agile is really about making short goals clear and keeping the justification meetings to a minimum, but it\u2019s not less effort and fewer meetings. It\u2019s more meetings, and holding a firm on a resource team and being really careful you don&#8217;t dump something out of the backlog that is business critical after all! Above all Agile is a tool to get the best out of your people, sometimes it\u2019s not the be-all and end-all. People deliver stuff, not processes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>4. Tom Taylor, <\/b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Agile Project Manager, Foundation Medicine, Greater Boston Area, US<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Agile Manifesto itself gives guidance for daily operational agility. The only modification needed would be a shift from the statement \u201cworking software\u201d to \u201cworking solutions\u201d or to \u201cvalue delivery.\u201d Agility at its core leverages empirical focus via the inspect-adapt-be transparent model. For good measures throw in:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Frequent feedback loops \u2013 with customers, users, within and between teams<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Willingness to learn<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dedication to continuous (even if subtle) improvement<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The relentless pursuit of removing barriers<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Empowering both people and teams (and stop using the term \u201cresources,\u201d please)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Psychological safety<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also, don\u2019t conflate \u201cAgile\u201d with \u201cScrum\u201d; but break the mindset that agile is only at the software team level. Definitely borrow from the Scrum values of Respect, Openness, Focus, and Courage. Don\u2019t impose but create the scaffolding for organizational culture. Form appropriate teams at appropriate levels with strong collaboration between them. At the risk of Agile-geekery, look at the Cynefin model and determine which domain you sit in and how you best can respond in a situational manner.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Contributed By:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/jfvaliente\/\" rel=\"nofollow\"><b>Jose Francisco Valiente<\/b><\/a><b>, <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Agile Project Manager, IBM, Greater Boston Area, US<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He is an experienced Project Manager who has worked on a range of large and complex projects in multiple industries and countries.
