MemeA meme (/ˈmiːm/ meem) is "an idea, behavior, or style that spreads from person to person within a culture". A meme acts as a unit for carrying cultural ideas, [...].

Proponents theorize that memes are a viral phenomenon that may evolve by natural selection in a manner analogous to that of biological evolution. Memes do this through the processes of variation, mutation, competition, and inheritance, each of which influences a meme's reproductive success.

Richard Dawkins coined the word meme in his 1976 book The Selfish Gene.

Real Options is about "deferring decisions to the last responsible moment," which is an explicit principle in the Lean Software approach. By avoiding early commitments, you gain flexibility in the choices you have later.

Chris Matts and Olav Maassen (2007)

1. Options have value.2. Options expire.3. Never commit early unless you

know why.

principles vs practice

Is possible Practices

without Principles?

Communities of Practice

Communities of Need

Gatherings of the Communities of Need● An un-famous Keynote

● Practical experience

● Experience Reports dominate

● Heavy open space element

● The participants are often as knowledgeable as the speakers/facilitators

● Every member of a “Community of Need” is a leader. AND need them

Communities of Solutions

Conferences of the Communities of Solutions● The keynote is famous.

● More often than not talking about a subject they have no practical experience in.

● workshops added onto the conference on subjects near the chasm.

● Consists of talks, workshops and “taster” sessions where the attendees learn from

the speakers.

Sound familiar to you?

Agileincongruent

“Agile problems is in the Complex

Area, but we sell it like Practices”

“There just aren’t enough

practitioners around to create a

decent corridor conference.”

“No voy a la CAS,

solo al AOS”

Agilecrossing the

chasm

1. Some Agile Practices have

crossed the Chasm.

2. Agile has not crossed the Chasm.

3. Scaled Agile certainly has not

crossed the Chasm.

Training? Coaching? Mentoring?

State-of-the-art in Agile conferences

● People were not joining the Agile

community. They were reading

books and turning up to just

listen. They were not engaging.

● Conferences were seen as a

corporate jolly rather than a

community “Gathering of the

Tribes”. Attendees stuck together

rather than meet new people.

● Consultants were keen to

prevent their clients from

meeting other rival consultants.

Agilelearning process

● We had no way of capturing the

fails. Those attempts that

resulted in failure.

● People are doing it wrong

became a trope.

● Some thought leaders started to

get angry at the mention of

community. These are solutions

to sell.

Technology

This model fits perfectly to

nonconformist and bleeding-edge

people, and to inmovilists.

And also to later-decisioners and

pragmatics.

We don’t know what

kind of problem we

are facing.

QuestionsWhy do some stop with a good enough solution

and others seek the best one?

Why are not good practices so good?

Why continually reinvent the wheel?

What motivations exist behind?

Where do you see yourself?
