Tools



• Joint Operations

• Scrum rejection and come back • Slow changes before initial production release • Need for more quality awareness • Procurement process slows you down • Transparent Retrospective failure

Problems



And then…



• Retrospectives done right • Team constitution and continuous improvement • Feedback Culture and Transparent Retrospective • Learning Organization

People



• Autonomous teams • Agenda on each meeting • DoD - Definition of Done - organization level

Interactions



• MVP - Minimum Viable Product • Build - Measure - Learn • BDD - Behavior Driven Tests • TDD - Test Driven Development • Pair Programming • Evolutionary Design (part 2 - conscious)

Afterwords



• Agile is not a destination, it’s a direction • Coach and Change Leaders - with passion for change • Management - trust and no fear of change • Agile > Scrum, but stay Scrum as much as you can • if Prince 2 then not Scrum and Kanban • Evolution not Revolution
