Free webinar series brought to you by ValueGlide
In this webinar we'll unpack in practical terms how SAFe has helped organisations achieve benefits like a better time to market, improved productivity and higher levels of customer and employee engagement, referencing insights from implementations globally, including one in the Middle East region.
We'll also touch on some of the latest good practice inclusions which are part of the SAFe v5.1 updates. There will also be time for general Q&A in the last 15 to 20 mins, so please join us and listen in and take the opportunity to interact with us!
Value Stream Management, Flow, Scaled Agile Framework
Medicine had been 'successfully’ practised without the knowledge of germs. Some patients got better in a pre-germ theory paradigm, some got worse, and some stayed the same; in each case, some rationale could be used to explain the outcome.
Identifying value streams and managing the flow of work through value streams enables organisations to manage the value stream with knowledge and focus on where it is needed most.
In this webinar, we explored how we create alignment of work from strategy to execution, forming teams of agile teams aligned with value streams and the same mission.
In addition, we explored high-level flow metrics that will show us what is affecting the flow of work and how to improve flow.
We live in a faster economy. Fortune 500 companies are disappearing faster. The average lifespan of companies reduced from 60 years in 1960 to under 20 years. The successful companies that are thriving have mastered the age of software and know-how to develop and deliver software products at scale that delight the customers faster than their competition.
Software development is invisible. This lack of visibility leads to
* Too many inflight pieces of work, too much work in progress
* Work item ageing, we start a part of work and forget about it.
* No clear priority rules leading to conflicting priorities.
* No visibility of dependencies across work items.
How do you fix project overruns? Why do they happen?
There is no one way of fixing project overruns as it may be caused by one or more of the following:
- Lack of feedback on the work that is being developed
- Lack of visibility on the progress
- Lack of alignment between different team members and teams
- Lack of commitment/responsibility from the teams
- Lack of communication (bi-directional feedback)
Each of these is usually symptoms of a larger problem. Both the mindset and the system are creating an environment where people are unable to see the big picture and how they can contribute to the larger purpose.
In Episode #1 we talked about:
- Understand the pivotal role the Guiding Coalition Plays in supporting the Agile Transformation
- How to organize around value and minimize the time it takes to organize a cross-departmental initiative
- How does SAFe help the organization adapt to new information that will inevitably change our objectives
Data Transformation, where to start, how to scale?
Covid-19 caused lots of disruption in many industries, but there are some winners out of this chaos. 83 per cent of executives McKinsey surveyed in the US, reported faster adoption of automation, and Microsoft suggested 2 years’ worth of digital transformation was seen in just 2 months.
Lean enterprises focus on delivering the right solutions to customers with the highest quality in the shortest sustainable lead time. This requires people with explicit content authority to take responsibility for continuously defining, prioritizing, and validating requirements. Working closely with development, in short, integrated learning cycles, Product Management bring the voice of the customer to the developers and the voice of development to the customer.
In this talk, Ebru will share her observations on recent changes on data ecosystem and knowledge engineering implementations, how well they have been adopted and added value to business agility, and what are the common pitfalls we should not fall.
Ebru is a Principal Consultant at Contino, where she is the change agent, driving the strategy and transformation for enterprise companies, helping to switch from experience-based decision making to data-driven decision making, and advising on the initiatives for innovative products.
When not talking about data, Ebru enjoys playing board games with his son, and experimenting Vegan recipes.
It is not just the project goals, a “contract” defines the collaboration between two entities and reflects their “values and mindset”.
A contract is a tool to establish a common understanding and manage the risks (scope, budget, timelines and quality etc).
This webinar covers some aspects of what are some common risks in delivery, how these Risks are managed in Agile and some guidelines around the principles that keep the suppliers and customers to common understanding, mutual trust and best outcomes.
Price is what you pay, Value is what you get !!
