If You Make Agile the Point...

If You Make Better the Point

Delivering Business Value

• Delivering business value is the only thing that matters– Don’t focus on:

• Principles• Buzzwords• Processes• Convincing People• What’s wrong with “the other way”

– Focus on:• Collaborating with your business stakeholders• Prioritising business value• Getting things done, in a sustainable way• Being transparent

Agile is Radical and Takes Time

• rad-i-cal (dictionary.com)–adjective

a radical change in the policy of a company. 3. favoring drastic political, economic, or social reforms: radical ideas; radical and

anarchistic ideologues.

• Becoming agile is an organisational change that takes time and effort• Don’t expect overnight success• Remember to iterate this too!• Plan for the long term and remember to always focus on delivery• Don’t forget this is all about people, culture, and developing a suitable

environment for change and growth.

You learn Agile by being Agile

• Preparation is necessary,• Reading up on latest trends is helpful,• Studying other organisations can give you insight,• You need some basic understanding to begin,

• But...NOTHING works better than just doing it!

Deliver Deliver Deliver, but don’t gloat!

• If you deliver consistently:– People stop asking how– Your stakeholders become your advocates– Your management recognizes your contribution– Your detractors stop questioning your methods– You buy credibility against future mistakes

• Don’t ruin it by gloating or preaching– Don’t reignite the religious war
