An ‘Agile’ State of Mind
How Agile software development & values power productivity
What is ‘Agile’?
• A software development process • A necessity for management • A state of mind • A spiritual practice
• It’s an approach to problem solving
Complicated Problems
• Classic engineering problems • There is a right answer
– With the necessary expertise • Analyze -> Design -> Plan -> Do
2 + 2 = ?
Complex Problems
• The solution is ‘unknowable’ • Not clear enough cause/effect
relationships • Systems of contributing factors
• Social Systems… – Reform policies (eg. economic, healthcare) – Software development – Organize a children’s party
Complex Problems (2)
• Experimentation – ‘Safe-fail’ probes instead of fail-safe solutions – Amplification Strategy – Recovery Strategy
• See -> Do -> Inspect -> Adapt
• Plan for change
Agile Software Development
• Two week iterations – Working software to show – Focus on high value, high priority work
• Conversation over documentation • Results over activities
– Working software – NOT: milestones, artifacts, tasks
• Retrospectives every 2 weeks
High Performance Teams
• Committed to continuous improvement • Optimize for learning
What works for teams
• Stable teams – People over process
• Cross-functional teams – Shared
accountabilities

Trusting Informality
• Co-location – shared physical space – Big visible information radiators – Conversations – Informal learning
©Desarrollando'América'La3na'
Planning for Uncertainty
• Keep it simple • Create shared understanding -
conversations
