Think Like an Agilist

d
d = ½gt2
What is d if…
t = 2 sg = 10 m / s2
d = 20 m

What are we learning?

d = ½gt2
How far will an object fall over time (assuming it doesn’t hit the
ground)?
OR

Which one hits the ground first?

Where should you aim?

What equation do I use?
The equation indicates that d is independent of mass
Just shoot the apple, the arrow will fall at the same
rateNecessary for Adaptive Expertise

Effective tactical leaders think differently about situations than ineffective ones
“What are their interests?” “They’re all out to get me!”
![Page 11: Think Like an Agilist - Agile Australia 2012](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061105/5440f7afb1af9fff4b8b45c6/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Run students through very difficult scenarios to expose and correct weaknesses in their thinking processes
Deliberate
practice for
effective
cognition!
Think Like a Commander
![Page 12: Think Like an Agilist - Agile Australia 2012](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061105/5440f7afb1af9fff4b8b45c6/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Think Like a Commander(expose weakness)
Full-scale simulation(exercise strengths)
Classroom study(basic concepts)
![Page 13: Think Like an Agilist - Agile Australia 2012](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061105/5440f7afb1af9fff4b8b45c6/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Our most challenging Agile scenarios!
Talk through your thought process
What would you do? Why?
THINK LIKE AN AGILIST
![Page 14: Think Like an Agilist - Agile Australia 2012](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061105/5440f7afb1af9fff4b8b45c6/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Thinker:Respond to the scenario using think-aloud
Scribe (1 or more):Capture the thoughts; remind Thinker to think-aloud
![Page 15: Think Like an Agilist - Agile Australia 2012](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061105/5440f7afb1af9fff4b8b45c6/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Think Aloud Protocol
• Describe what you are thinking, feeling, noticing, questioning so that the Scribe can capture it• What do you notice? want? suspect?• What questions do you have?• What actions would you take?• What else is passing through your head?
![Page 16: Think Like an Agilist - Agile Australia 2012](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061105/5440f7afb1af9fff4b8b45c6/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
“Oh yeah, I
actually considered
that”
“I would have thought of that”
But if you were thinking aloud, we can see that you didn’t think of that and didn’t consider it
![Page 17: Think Like an Agilist - Agile Australia 2012](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061105/5440f7afb1af9fff4b8b45c6/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Warning! Scenarios may will be more unfair than reality
• No body language to read• No other background available• Not allowed to ask for
clarification (you can actually ask, but I likely won’t clarify)
![Page 18: Think Like an Agilist - Agile Australia 2012](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061105/5440f7afb1af9fff4b8b45c6/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Too hard!Too easy!
Can’t learn Can’t learn
Maximum learning(via failures)

SCENARIO ONE
![Page 20: Think Like an Agilist - Agile Australia 2012](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061105/5440f7afb1af9fff4b8b45c6/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Think Aloud Protocol Template
• Describe what you are thinking, feeling, noticing, questioning so that the Scribe can capture it• What do you notice? want? suspect?• What questions do you have?• What actions would you take?• What else is passing through your head?

DISCUSSION ONE
![Page 22: Think Like an Agilist - Agile Australia 2012](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061105/5440f7afb1af9fff4b8b45c6/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Assess the response
• What did you like about how the Thinker responded? What were the strengths in his / her response?
• What did you not like about how the Thinker responded? What were the weaknesses in his / her response?
![Page 23: Think Like an Agilist - Agile Australia 2012](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061105/5440f7afb1af9fff4b8b45c6/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
More questions
• Did you consider higher intent? What is the overall purpose?
• Did you consider all the stakeholders and their interests?• Did you consider effects of organisational structure?• Did you consider what resources were available? What
might already be working that could be leveraged?• Did you consider timing?• Did you consider how the issues in the scenario might fit
into the bigger picture?• Did you consider risks, mitigation, contingencies?

How many people learned something about how they
approach things that they did not previously know?
![Page 26: Think Like an Agilist - Agile Australia 2012](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061105/5440f7afb1af9fff4b8b45c6/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
How many people will approach new scenarios differently?
![Page 27: Think Like an Agilist - Agile Australia 2012](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061105/5440f7afb1af9fff4b8b45c6/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Cognitive themes
• Keep focus on higher intent• Understand stakeholder interests• Consider effects of organisational structure• Consider and use all resources available• Include considerations of timing• Consider how the current situation fits into the
bigger picture• Consider risks, mitigation, and contingencies

Adjustments if you do this yourself• Use small groups (3 – 4)• Use your own scenarios• Focus on your own common
misconceptions

Expertise requires practice
“I’ve read the book and taken the course.”
“You’re a certified expert!”
“Um…”

Practice difficult scenarios (aka Think Like an Agilist)
(expose weakness)
Agile simulation / project(exercise strengths)
Classroom study(basic concepts)

Consider how you think not just what you do
