Competing in the Age of Software

The problem is not with our organizations realizing that


they need to transform; the problem is that organizations
are using managerial frameworks and infrastructure
models from past revolutions to manage their
businesses in this one.

Seven core competencies of Business Agility

© Scaled Agile, Inc. 27

Why Team and


Technical Agility?
Agile teams and teams of Agile
teams create and support the
business solutions that deliver
value to the enterprise’s
customers. Consequently, an
organization’s ability to thrive in
the digital age is entirely
dependent on the ability of its
teams to deliver solutions that
reliably meet a customer’s needs.

© Scaled Agile, Inc. 28

14
Team and Technical Agility

The Team and Technical Agility


competency describes the critical
skills and Lean-Agile principles
and practices that high-
performing Agile teams and
Teams of Agile teams use to
create high-quality solutions for
their customers.

© Scaled Agile, Inc. 29

Agile Teams

4 Cross functional teams have all the skills they need to define, build, deliver and sustain value

4 Teams iterate with Scrum, Kanban, XP, and SAFe scaled practices
4 Feature teams deliver end to end value
4 Component teams build specialized components
4 Other teams may help flow by supporting DevOps, site reliability, and specialty services
4 Agile Business teams define, enable and support business solutions
© Scaled Agile, Inc. 30

15
Teams of Agile Teams

4 Agile Release Trains (ARTs)


are cross-functional, cross-
component, business and
technology teams of Agile
teams

4 Software, hardware, firmware,


security, compliance and more

4 Organized around Value


Streams

4 Virtual organizations (typically


50 – 125) people that define,
build, deliver and operate
business solutions

© Scaled Agile, Inc. 31

Built in Quality

4 Built-In Quality practices ensure that


each Solution element, at every
increment, meets appropriate quality
standards throughout development
4 All teams —software, hardware,
operations, product marketing, legal,
security, compliance, etc.—share the
goals and principles of built-in quality.
4 Practices vary by discipline but all
support Agile values

© Scaled Agile, Inc. 32

16
Without Team and Technical Agility

☐ Dependencies between functional silos slow


execution and delivery

☐ Even our Agile Teams can’t deliver value


independently

☐ Team priorities are misaligned with business


needs

☐ Quality problems are endemic

☐ Non-Agile business teams slow down the delivery


of business solutions

© Scaled Agile, Inc. 33

Why Agile
Product Delivery?
In order to achieve Business
Agility, enterprises must rapidly
increase their ability to deliver
innovative products and
services. To be sure that the
enterprise is creating the right
solutions for the right
customers at the right time,
they must balance their
execution focus with a
customer focus.

© Scaled Agile, Inc. 34

Agile Product Delivery

Agile Product Delivery


is a customer-centric
approach to defining,
building, and releasing
a continuous flow of
valuable products and
services to customers
and users.

Develop on Cadence; Release on Demand

4 Developing on cadence helps control the


variability of product development and makes
routine that which can be routine. Variance to
to plan is limited to single short development
interval.

4 DevOps and the Continuous Delivery pipeline

whole or in part—whenever the market
demands

Synchronize with PI Planning

There is no magic in SAFe … except maybe for PI Planning


4All stakeholders face-to-face (but typically multiple locations)

4Management sets the mission, with minimum possible constraints


4Requirements and design emerge
4Important stakeholder decisions are accelerated
4Teams create—and take responsibility for—plans

For a short PI Planning

Without Agile Product Delivery

☐ Coordination between teams and departments on


value delivery is way too complicated

☐ Our planning process is too slow and doesn't


reflect or predict reality

☐ Business and technical feedback is too late in the


process for us to to react

☐ Releases are large, infrequent, and cause quality


issues and support emergencies

☐ Customers don’t love our products and their end-


to-end experience is poor

© Scaled Agile, Inc. 40

20
Why Enterprise
Solution Delivery?
Humanity has always dreamed big;
and scientists, engineers, and
software developers then turn those
big dreams into reality. That requires
innovation, experimentation, and
knowledge from diverse disciplines.
Engineers and developers bring
Enterprise Solution Delivery
these innovations to life by defining
and coordinating all the activities to
successfully specify, design, test,
deploy, operate, evolve, and
decommission large, complex
solutions.

© Scaled Agile, Inc. 41

Enterprise Solution Delivery

The Enterprise Solution


Delivery competency
describes how to apply
Lean-Agile principles and
practices to the specification,
development, deployment,
operation, and evolution of
the world’s largest and most
sophisticated software
applications, networks, and
cyber-physical systems.

Without Enterprise Solution Delivery

☐ We don’t know how to apply agility to build our


extra-large and complex systems

☐ Hard to integrate Agile practices and traditional


waterfall suppliers

☐ System integration occurs too late in development

☐ Our traditional compliance processes cause


excess overhead and slow delivery

☐ Our organization and systems aren't designed to


evolve live systems after deployment

© Scaled Agile, Inc. 48

24
Why Lean Portfolio
Management?
Traditional approaches to
portfolio management were not
designed for a global economy
or the impact of digital
disruption. These factors put
pressure on enterprises to work
under a higher degree of
uncertainty, and yet deliver
innovative solutions much faster.

© Scaled Agile, Inc. 49

Lean Portfolio Management

The Lean Portfolio


Management competency
aligns strategy and execution
by applying Lean and
systems thinking approaches
to strategy and investment
funding, Agile portfolio
operations, and governance.

© Scaled Agile, Inc. 50

25
Meet business targets with strategy and investment funding

Strategy and investment funding ensures that the entire portfolio is


aligned and funded to create and maintain the solutions needed to meet
business targets.

27
Without Lean Portfolio Management

☐ Strategy is unclear to those who must execute it

☐ Our project funding model causes internal friction,


overhead, incessant internal negotiations, and
inhibits innovation

☐ Agile practices across the portfolio are different,


confusing and problematic

☐ Current metrics reflect processes and outputs, not


outcomes

☐ Our governance practices interfere with value flow


and time to market

© Scaled Agile, Inc. 55

Why
Organizational
Agility?
Without organizational agility,
enterprises simply cannot
respond sufficiently to the
challenges and opportunities
that today’s rapidly changing
markets present. Without it,
employees and the enterprise
associate an individual’s value
with their functional skills,
rather than business
outcomes.

© Scaled Agile, Inc. 56

28
Organizational Agility

The Organizational Agility


competency describes how
Lean-thinking people and
Agile teams optimize their
business processes, evolve
strategy with clear and
decisive new commitments,
and quickly adapt the
organization as needed to
capitalize on new
opportunities.

© Scaled Agile, Inc. 60

30
Without Organizational Agility

☐ It is extremely difficult to change the organization


to support new strategic challenges and
opportunities

☐ Our people management practices drive


individual, rather than collaborative behavior

☐ End-to-end business operations are ill-defined and


not efficient

☐ We discover customer needs and market trends


too late

☐ We cannot adapt rapidly enough to changing


market conditions

© Scaled Agile, Inc. 61

Why Continuous
Learning Culture?
In order to thrive in the current
climate, organizations must
evolve into adaptive engines of
change, powered by a culture
of fast and effective learning at
all levels. Learning
organizations leverage the
collective knowledge,
experience, and creativity of
their workforce, customers,
supply chain, and the broader
ecosystem.

© Scaled Agile, Inc. 62

31
Continuous Learning Culture

The Continuous Learning


Culture competency
describes a set of values
and practices that
encourage individuals—
and the enterprise as a
whole—to continually
increase knowledge,
competence, performance,
and innovation.

The management paradigm for the digital age

© Scaled Agile, Inc. 64

32
Learning organization
Employees at every level are learning and growing together
4 Personal Mastery – Build individual “T-shaped” breadth of
knowledge in multiple disciplines for deep and broad expertise
4 Shared Vision – Leaders envision and articulate exciting
possibilities and invite others to contribute to a common view of the
future
4 Team Learning – Teams achieve common objectives by sharing
knowledge, suspending assumptions, and ‘thinking together’
4 Mental Models – Teams surface their existing assumptions and
generalizations while working with an open mind to create new
models
4 Systems Thinking – Everyone sees the larger picture and
recognizes that optimizing individual components does not optimize
the system

© Scaled Agile, Inc. 65

Relentless Improvement
The entire enterprise as a system is continuously being challenged to improve

4 A ‘Constant Sense of Danger ‘ drives improvement activities


that are essential to the survival of an organization
4 Optimize the Whole - improvements are designed to increase
the effectiveness of the entire, as opposed to optimizing
individual teams, silos, or subsystems
4 A Problem-solving Culture is the driver for continuous
improvement
4 Reflect at Key Milestones – improvement activities are
treated with as much urgency as new feature development,
fixing defects, and responding to the latest outage
4 Fact-based improvement leads to changes guided by the
data about the problem rather than conjecture or opinions

© Scaled Agile, Inc. 66

33
Innovation Culture
Leaders create an environment that supports creative thinking,
curiosity, and challenging the status quo
4 Innovative People - Instilling innovation 4 Experimentation and Feedback - Conducting
requires a commitment to cultivating experiments iteratively is the most effective path to
courage and aptitude for innovation and learning
risk-taking
4 Pivot Without Mercy or Guilt - When fact patterns
4 Time and Space for Innovation includes dictate that a hypothesis will be proven false, pivot
providing work areas conducive to quickly to a new one
creative activities, as well as setting aside
4 Innovation Riptides – Innovation flows
dedicated time to explore and experiment
continuously up, down and across the enterprise
4 Go See - Innovation ideas are sparked
by seeing the problems first-hand—
witnessing how customers interact with
solutions and understanding their
problems

© Scaled Agile, Inc. 67

Without Continuous Learning Culture

☐ Knowledge is inconsistent and not shared across


the organization

☐ We continuously repeat our mistakes

☐ We are not as innovative as we used to be, or as


we need to be

☐ There is never time time for learning and


experimentation

☐ Teams seem to be addressing symptoms to


problems, not root causes

© Scaled Agile, Inc. 68

34
Why Lean-Agile
Leadership?
An organization’s managers,
executives, and other leaders
are responsible for the
adoption, success, and
ongoing improvement of Lean-
Agile development and the
competencies that lead to
business agility. Only they
have the authority to change
and continuously improve the
systems that govern how work
is performed.

© Scaled Agile, Inc. 69

Lean-Agile Leadership

The Lean-Agile Leadership


competency describes how
Lean-Agile Leaders drive
and sustain organizational
change and operational
excellence by empowering
individuals and teams to
reach their highest
potential.

© Scaled Agile, Inc. 70

35
Mindset and Principles
“The basic tenets of Lean challenge many of the aspects of traditional
management theory and calls for a mindset that is foreign to most executives.”
—Jacob Stoller, author of The Lean CEO

4Have Mindset awareness and


openness to change
4Embody and exhibit the core values
4Exhibit Lean-Agile thinking and
behaviors
4Understand, apply and teach Lean-
agile principles

© Scaled Agile, Inc. 71

Leading by Example
“Setting an example is not the main means of influencing others,
it is the only means.” —Albert Einstein

4 Authenticity requires leaders to model desired professional and


ethical behaviors.
4 Emotional intelligence describes how leaders identify and
manage their emotions and those of others through self-
awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy, and social skills
4 Life-long learning depicts how leaders engage in ongoing,
voluntary, and self-motivated pursuit of knowledge and growth,
and they encourage and support the same in others
4 Growing others encourages leaders to provide the personal,
professional, and technical guidance and resources each
employee needs to assume increasing levels of responsibility
4 Decentralized decision-making moves the authority for
decisions to where the information is
© Scaled Agile, Inc. 72

36
Leading Change
“In short, to make a Switch, leaders need to script the critical moves”
— Chip and Dan Heath
4 Change vision is how leaders communicate why change is
needed in ways that inspire, motivate, and engage people
4 Change leadership is the ability to positively influence and
motivate others to engage in the change through the leader’s
personal advocacy and drive
4 A powerful coalition for change is when individuals from
multiple levels and across silos are empowered and have the
influence necessary to effectively lead the change
4 Psychological safety occurs when leaders create an
environment for risk-taking that supports change without fear
of negative consequences to self-image, status, or career
4 Training ensures that everyone has the knowledge of the new
way of working including a commitment by leaders to their
own training
© Scaled Agile, Inc. 73

Without Lean-Agile Leadership

☐ Organizational mindset reinforces status quo

☐ Leaders often behave differently than what they


advocate

☐ People can’t experiment or take risks without fear


of negative consequences

☐ Constant escalation of decisions creates long lead


times and lack of empowerment

☐ Agile is inconsistently applied with no enterprise-


wide synergy of language or practice

What inspired us to begin the SAFe transformation was the need


to adapt to market conditions and to essentially deliver business
value faster.

We had all of the knowledge, all of the skills, but we just didn’t
have the experience. I think it was extremely important to work
with a Scaled Agile Partner, … to essentially shorten the
timeframe when we could take the wheel back and run the
transformation ourselves.
