eXtreme Programming (XP) Basics
One key XP assumption is that a unified client viewpoint exists. When correct XP is productive. Otherwise it is risky at best.
“No Big Design Up Front” and “The simplest thing that could possibly work” philosophy. Critics claim this results in constant re-designing as requirements emerge.
Extreme Programming Refactored: The Case Against XP by Matt Stephens and Doug Rosenberg argues that XP's practices are interdependent and because few organizations adopt all of them, XP fails entirely.

LSD’s only other ceremony is Customer Feedback.
It is an ad hoc, mostly informal, ceremony that can be
held as often as hourly where the Developer and Customer
meet and see, test and use the system changes to decide if
they solve the problem or need additional fine-tuning.

have a short lifespan, they are still important. They should be
captured and maintained in a version control system with a
central repository providing a history of changes.

These core practices aren’t carved in stone as Marcus Hammarberg and Joakim Sunden state in their book Kanban in Action.

65
• Roles
Unlike other Agile Frameworks that prescribe roles
Kanban makes existing roles and responsibilities explicit
and visible so they can be improved.
Kanban seeks to be minimally invasive using
visualization tools to catalyze incremental changes to
existing roles and responsibilities when the Team decides
it is necessary.
PMI-ACP® Exam Prep SeminarModule 7: Kanban Basic Practices Deep Dive
Kanban Basic Practices Overview
66
Kanban Workflow
• Visualize the Workflow
• It is not important that work fit in predefined categories.
• It is very important that it flows!
• Arbitrarily fracturing work to fit a predefined time
sequence has a negative impact on work completion.
• Having proper process flow has a positive impact on defect
reduction and total throughput.
• The goal is to visualize the workflow as it actually takes
place now, then incrementally improve it over time.
• Best practice is “low-tech, high-touch.”

Additional topics:

72
Hybrid Project Management Basics
• Hybrid projects are managed with a combination of Traditional and Agile practices or with a combination of practices from multiple Agile frameworks.
• Hybrid Project Management is an Agile Framework where a selected combination of techniques and practices, including those from one or more Agile Frameworks, are used to manage projects in order to best meet the needs of the organization and customer.
• Hybrid fills the absence of two key elements required for scalability in every Agile Framework. They are budgeting and sophisticated scheduling.
PMI-ACP® Exam Prep SeminarModule 8: Hybrid Project Management Deep Dive
8/2/2018
37
73
Hybrid Roles
• Hybrid applies any useful convention from other defined Agile Frameworks to structure roles and responsibilities.
• Hybrid does not prescribe roles or describe a new or different set of them.
• Hybrid tailors roles to the needs of the Team and the Organization. The Team decides the roles and responsibilities that are necessary.
PMI-ACP® Exam Prep SeminarModule 8: Hybrid Project Management Deep Dive
74
Hybrid Workflow
PMI-ACP® Exam Prep SeminarModule 8: Hybrid Project Management Deep Dive
• Hybrid includes whatever enables delivery of desirable results while everything else gets excluded.
• Tailoring the workflow practices can be at the team-level, which is within the focus of this class.
• It can also be at a higher business level.

Hybrid Ceremonies
PMI-ACP® Exam Prep SeminarModule 8: Hybrid Project Management Deep Dive
• Hybrid includes whatever enables the system to deliver optimized results while everything else gets excluded.
• Hybrid’s only unique ceremonies focus on budgeting and sophisticated scheduling.
• One highly recommended best practice is to use Earned Value Management (EVM).
• EVM’s core assumption – only counting work that is completed (Done-Done) – aligns exactly with Agile Project Management.
76
Hybrid Artifacts

PMI-ACP® Exam Prep SeminarModule 8: Hybrid Project Management Deep Dive
Creating an Agile culture means committing to

most Agile expression of itself.
It is popular in to express this idea with three kanji, Japanese characters, and pronounced,
“Shu Ha Ri.”

User Story Definition
PMI-ACP® Exam Prep SeminarModule 9: User Stories
• User Stories are a multifaceted device with tangible and intangible aspects referred to as the “Three Cs” – the Card, Commitment and Criteria.
• The Three Cs are:
• a tangible Card representing customer requirements
• an intangible Commitment to have meaningful conversations
• a collection of Criteria that demonstrate when a Story is complete.

Estimating and Derived Schedules Overview
• User Stories provide flexibility and support tracking measurable and manageable progress.
• User Stories create a shared understanding of expectations.
• User Stories can be broken down into Tasks so the Team can allocate its work.
• Derived Schedules optimize development progress and manage stakeholder expectations.
• When combined with Traditional tools like Logic Networks it is possible to create the most powerful techniques in existence.
PMI-ACP® Exam Prep SeminarModule 11: Estimating and Derived Schedules
92
Principle #1The core purpose of planning is to support decision making; nothing more, nothing less!
Principle #2“It is better to be roughly right… than precisely wrong!”
John Maynard Keynes (British economist, 1883-1946)
Principle #3Derived schedules “auto-magically” correct estimation bias!

• Agile defines work in User Stories.
• Agile estimates Size and calculates (derives) the Schedule.
• Schedule Duration is planned and managed using Velocity.
• Velocity is a simple way to plan and measure progress towards Customer Value.
• Forecast Velocity can be estimated and/or calculated.
