The world of Agile and how Half Double add value Diving into Agile, Scrum, and Half Double 22
The story of Agile On February 2001, at The Lodge at Snowbird ski resort in the Wasatch mountains of Utah, seventeen people met to talk 23
The agile manifesto is a philosophy Individuals and interactions over processes and tools Customer collaboration over contract negotiation Working solutions over comprehensive documentation Responding to change over following a plan 24
A true project methodology consist of Philosophy beliefs and values... A Project Management Methodology is an organized collection of concepts, methods, belief, values and normative principles supported by material resources. Hirschheim et al. 1995: 22 Principles rules of living and non negotiables Core elements the concept Methods ways of working and converting principles into reality Tools ways to apply it 25
In its pure form Agile is only a philosophy with 12 principles Individuals and interactions over processes and tools Customer collaboration over contract negotiation Working solutions over comprehensive documentation Responding to change over following a plan Customer satisfaction by early and continuous delivery of valuable solutions Welcome changing requirements, even in late development Working solutions is delivered frequently (weeks rather than months) Close, daily cooperation between business people and developers Projects are built around motivated individuals, who should be trusted Face-to-face conversation is the best form of communication (co-location) Working solutions is the principal measure of progress Sustainable development, able to maintain a constant pace Continuous attention to technical excellence and good design Simplicity the art of maximizing the amount of work not done is essential Best architectures, requirements, and designs emerge from self-organizing teams Regularly, the team reflects on how to become more effective, and adjusts accordingly Scrum Acceptance test-driven development Adaptive software development Agile Unified Process Behavior-driven development Business analyst designer method Continuous integration Disciplined agile delivery Domain-driven design Extreme programming Iterative and incremental development Dynamic systems development method Feature-driven development Lean software development Kanban development Rapid application development Scrumban Test-driven development 26
AGILE is like HEALTH not a method but a overall mindset HOW DO YOU BECOME HEALTH? 27
Half Double is a complete project methodology no missing links We value impact above scope, cost and time We value stakeholder satisfaction above comprehensive specification and contract negotiation We value flow and progression above multitasking We value leadership above management We value adaption and reflection over rigid structure and long term predictability We value trust above control Stakeholder satisfaction is the ultimate success criterion High intensity and frequent interaction Embrace uncertainty and make the project happen Impact Flow Leadership 1. Behavioural change and business impact 2. Fast impact with end users close to the solution 3. In touch with the pulse of key stakeholders 4. +50% allocation of core team +50% and colocation 5. Fixed project heartbeat for stakeholder interaction 6. Visual tools and plans 7. Active, committed and engaged Project Owner 8. Collaborative project leader with a people first approach 9. Reflective and adaptive mindset say yes to the mess 1. Impact case and Impact tracking 2. Impact Solution Design 3. Pulse check 4. Colocation design to support intensity 5. Rhythm in key events 6. Visual planning and project visuals 7. Active ownership approach 8. Collaborative leadership approach 9. Reflective and adaptive mindset 28
Half Double is adding new perspectives in relation to the Agile philosophy AGILE HALF DOUBLE Individuals and interactions over processes and tools Working solutions over comprehensive documentation We value leadership above management We value impact above scope, cost and time We value trust above control Customer collaboration over contract negotiation Responding to change over following a plan We value stakeholder satisfaction above comprehensive specification and contract negotiation We value flow and progression above multitasking We value adaption and reflection over rigid structure and long term predictability 29
The Agile principles and its blind spots are embraced in the 9 methods of Half Double AGILE Customer satisfaction by early and continuous delivery of valuable solutions Working solutions is the principal measure of progress Continuous attention to technical excellence and good design Face-to-face conversation is the best form of communication (colocation) Close, daily cooperation between business people and developers Working solutions is delivered frequently (weeks rather than months) Sustainable development, able to maintain a constant pace Projects are built around motivated individuals, who should be trusted Best architectures, requirements, and designs emerge from selforganizing teams Welcome changing requirements, even in late development Regularly, the team reflects on how to become more effective, and adjusts accordingly Simplicity the art of maximizing the amount of work not done is essential Impact Impact case: Ensure stakeholder satisfaction with impact in mind Impact solution design: Reduce time to impact and enhance early value creation Pulse check: Ensure insights and dialogue amongst key stakeholders Flow 50% allocation and co-location: High intensity to ensure weekly progression in the project Rhythm: Fixed project heartbeat and rhythm in key events Visual planning: Make the project visual to enhance commitment, alignment and common understanding Leadership HALF DOUBLE Active project owner: An active, committed project owner who engages directly with the project on an ongoing basis Collaborative project leader: Projects consist of people and are created by people Reflective and adaptive mindset: To cope with turbulence, chaos, conflicts and changes in the project environment 30
This is SCRUM and its advantages Multiskilled team Technical shippable elements 2-4 weeks perspective Software development 31
How Half Double differs from traditional and agile methods Organization and surroundings are constantly changing LEADERSHIP Half Double Focus on objective deliverables SCRUM Traditional project management Focus on stakeholder satisfaction MANAGEMENT Organization and surroundings are stable Management is doing things right leadership is doing the right things 32 Peter Drucker
Half Double is an agile project methodology with full impact focus A strong focus on impact rather than only working solutions (deliverables) A broader focus on stakeholder satisfaction and not only product owner/end users A clear focus on high level ownership to the project rather than just a normal product owner Half Double dare to simplify reality to 9 methods and 9 tools 33
Group session 1 Go to a booth with the question that you are most passionate about Answer in 15 min and be ready to present in 2 min 1 How would you recommend to expand SCRUM in your organisation to accommodate for its blind spots (stakeholder engagement, leadership and true impact focus?) 2 How can we diffuse Half Double even more, linking it to the Agile trend? 34

How does Half Double tap into SAFe? Diving into Agile 36
(3 level SAFe)
SAFe in a nutshell Synchronize alignment, collaboration and delivery for a large number of teams Core elements Software focus (ITIL?) Merge of development and application mngmt Portfolio approach with overall release trains Programs for each release SCRUM in execution Challenges A framework not a transformation approach Top down management not leadership Complicated and rigid with many methods - not simplicity 38
Going agile will affect the overall leadership more than CxO s think Portfolio Define strategy themes Prioritize with impact Create a rhythm Balance resource capacity Release overviews Leadership Reduced long term certainty Brave decisions necessary Increased speed Leadership of culture & people Agile transformation Project/Team Agile methodologies Sprint planning Focus on impact Increase freedom Increase restriction Balance resource allocation Organisational capabilities Getting the basics right Agile project culture & mindset Governance & roles 39
SAFe and Half Double Impact, flow and leadership at team level in SAFe All project types With sweet spot within innovation & transformation projects 40
The simple split portfolio approach TRADITIONAL PROJECTS HALF DOUBLE PROJECTS PRE-DEFINED PROJECTS TRANSFORMATION and INNOVATION PROJECTS 41
Short and fat at on a portfolio level and this can only be done through a strong strategic ownership Common practice Long and thin Project 3 Project 1 Project 2 Project 4 Project 5 Project 6 Project 7 Project 8 Best practice Short and fat Project 1 Project 2 Project 3 Project 5 Project 6 Project 7 Project 4 Project 8 42
3 basic Project Portfolio principles Own it, or leave it! Maximum of 3 projects per owner 2 projects per core team member +50% allocation of high caliber people Apply agile governance Design, build, test in each iterations and decision making Short and fat in a split portfolio 43
