7.5. The Definitive Guide to Scrum

7.5.1. http://www.scrumguides.org/

8. Scrum is a simple framework (not methodology) for effective team collaboration for building complex products (Scrum is not for project management). Scrum provides a small set of rules that create just enough structure for teams to be able to focus their innovation on solving what might otherwise be an insurmountable challenge.

11. Agile fundamentals (agile in general not Scrum fundamentals)

11.1. Agile Manifesto

11.1.1. http://agilemanifesto.org/

11.1.2. 17 It industry veterans met at Snowbird Resort on February 11-13 2001 and created Agile Manifesto

11.1.2.1. Introduced 4 Values and 12 Principles defining Agile for Software Development

11.1.3. disciplines that gave rise to the Agile Manifesto

11.1.3.1. Extreme Programming, SCRUM, Dynamic Systems Development Method (DSDM®), Adaptive Software Development, Crystal, Feature-Driven Development, Pragmatic Programming.

11.2. Agile Alliance

11.2.1. http://www.agilealliance.org/

11.3. Agile currently is buzzword, a marketing term

11.3.1. Agile is like any other newly introduced popular concept. “… Everybody is talking about it. Very few are doing it and those who are, are doing it badly” (James O. Coplien)

11.3.2. Agile as a word by it's own simply means - nothing more than merketing term.

11.3.2.1. there are so many Agile methodologies, Agile standards, Agile techniques, Agile tools, Agile good / best agile practices, Agile frameworks etc., that 'Agile' word itself is to general

11.3.2.1.1. see Agile World mind map

11.3.3. Agile is a generic description of a “Style of Working” and Philosophy.

11.3.3.1. Not only style of working on project but rather culture in ENTIRE organization including also it's management level, clients and partners

11.3.3.2. ‘Agile Project Management’ is perhaps an oxymoron

11.4. The Agile Mindset, Values and Principles

11.4.1. 4 Agile Value

11.4.1.1. 1. Individuals and interactions over processes and tools

11.4.1.2. 2. Working software over comprehensive documentation

11.4.1.3. 3. Customer collaboration over contract negotiation

11.4.1.4. 4. Responding to change over following a plan

11.4.2. 12 Agile Principles

11.4.2.1. 1. Our highest priority is to satisfy the customer through early and continuous delivery of valuable software.

11.4.2.2. 2. Welcome changing requirements, even late in development. Agile processes harness change for the customer's competitive advantage.

11.4.2.3. 3. Deliver working software frequently, from a couple of weeks to a couple of months, with a preference to the shorter timescale.

11.4.2.4. 4. Business people and developers must work together daily throughout the project.

11.4.2.5. 5. Build projects around motivated individuals. Give them the environment and support they need, and trust them to get the job done.

11.4.2.6. 6. The most efficient and effective method of conveying information to and within a development team is face-to-face conversation.

11.4.2.7. 7. Working software is the primary measure of progress.

11.4.2.8. 8. Agile processes promote sustainable development. The sponsors, developers, and users should be able to maintain a constant pace indefinitely.

11.4.2.9. 9. Continuous attention to technical excellence and good design enhances agility.

11.4.2.10. 10. Simplicity - the art of maximizing the amount of work not done - is essential.

11.4.2.11. 11. The best architectures, requirements, and designs emerge from self-organizing teams.

11.4.2.12. 12. At regular intervals, the team reflects on how to become more effective, then tunes and adjusts its behavior accordingly.

11.4.3. The unlimited number of Agile Practices

11.4.3.1. The 'forest' of Agile Methods, Frameworks, Standards ...

11.4.3.1.1. see Agile World mind map

11.4.3.2. Being Agile vs Doing Agile

11.5. Agile is a umbrella term enclosing different methodologies, tools, techniques, practices and frameworks

11.5.1. In Agile community umbrella symbolizes different approaches in implementing Agile Manifesto but yet all from them are "Agilelish"

11.5.2. SCRUM, Lean, KANBAN, XP are not ‘Agile Project Management’ practices but rather team level practices

11.5.2.1. No Project Manager role

11.5.2.2. No project definition and etablished project / programme governance

11.5.2.3. ...

11.5.3. see Agile World mind map

11.6. Plan-Driven Projects vs. Change-driven Project Projects

11.6.1. Traditional (waterfall or sequential) Project Management metaphor

11.6.1.1. Railway metaphor

11.6.1.1.1. Moving forward, based on delivering predicted upfront requirements in accepted tolerances with limited tolerance to change, destination (final product specification) is known upfront and it will hardly change to any other destination

11.6.1.1.2. Changing course of train based on requirements

11.6.1.2. a.k.a. Plan-driven

11.6.1.2.1. build around paradigm of process

11.6.1.3. defined process control model

11.6.1.3.1. All work is understood before execution

11.6.1.3.2. Given a well-defined set of inputs, the same outputs are generated every time

11.6.1.3.3. Follow the pre-determined steps to get known results

11.6.2. Agile (iterative + incremental + adaptive) Project Management metaphor

11.6.2.1. Sailing metaphor

11.6.2.1.1. Embracing change of requirements, finding TRUE value for stakeholders by experimenting, testing, changing status quo.

11.6.2.1.2. Adapting / changing course of sailing based on business TRUE business needs and priorities, which could be different than requirements

11.6.2.2. a.k.a. Change-driven

11.6.2.2.1. build around paradigm of change / adaptation

11.6.2.3. empirical (adaptive) process control model

11.6.2.3.1. Frequent inspection and adaptation occurs as work proceeds

11.6.2.3.2. Processes are accepted as imperfectly defined

11.6.2.3.3. Outputs are often unpredictable and unrepeatable

11.7. Agile is best for complex projects

11.7.1. Simple (straightforward)

11.7.1.1. Everything is known and predicatable

11.7.2. Complicated

11.7.2.1. More is known than unknown

11.7.3. Complex

11.7.3.1. More is unknown than known

11.7.4. Chaotic (unpredictable)

11.7.4.1. Very little is known

11.7.5. See also Cynefin framework (by Dan Snowden)

11.7.5.1. different view on Cynefin Framework

11.7.5.2. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N7oz366X0-8

11.8. Agile is about delivering "best possible value" not maximum possible value

11.8.1. VALUE is NOT the same as BENEFIT

11.8.1.1. Benefits

11.8.1.1.1. Benefit is about outputs

11.8.1.1.2. Benefit is a objective

11.8.1.1.3. Benefit is an advantage to stakeholders (internal or external to the organization)

11.8.1.1.4. Benefit can be financial and non financial

11.8.1.1.5. Benefit can be ...

11.8.1.1.6. Benefit MUST be measurable and observable

11.8.1.1.7. Benefits are identifiable and quantifiable

11.8.1.1.8. Benefits SHOULD have baselines

11.8.1.1.9. Benefits SHOULD have priorities

11.8.1.1.10. Benefits types:

11.8.1.1.11. in general benefit = delivered requirements on time, on budget, within scope etc.

11.8.1.2. Value

11.8.1.2.1. Value is about outcomes

11.8.1.2.2. Value is subjective

11.8.1.2.3. Value can be measurable (if required but not natural to use such techniques in any Agile approach)

11.8.1.2.4. Value can be ...

11.8.1.2.5. Values SHOULD have priorities

11.8.1.2.6. in general value = designed fit for purpose, as small as possible solution

11.9. Agile is about focusing on business value / outcome, not strictly project plan / output

11.9.1. Focusing on value delivery not on fixed product definition or strict adherence to plan

11.9.1.1. That's why most Agile approaches define Project Vision

11.10. Agile respects the urgency and importance of priorities conveyed by the customer / user, most prominently by incremental delivery and flexible sequencing

11.11. Agile respects the common sense that all requirements can not be known at the outset, particularly when the outcomes are intangible and subject to an evolving understanding.

11.11.1. “People don’t know what they want until you show it to them” (Steve Jobs, 1955 - 2011)

11.12. Agile is about empowering people, treating them as intellectual individuals

11.12.1. “You have to learn to manage in situations where you don’t have command authority, where you are neither controlled nor controlling. That is the fundamental change.” (Peter F. Drucker)

11.13. Agile is about working closely and constantly (active two side collaboration) with customer throughout (including more than just feedback loops)

11.13.1. “Never write when you can talk. Never talk when you can nod. And never put anything in an email“ (Eliot Spitzer)

11.14. Agile is about change, constant change which leads to better value

11.14.1. “If a process is too unpredictable or too complicated for the planned, (predictive) approach, then the empirical approach (measure and adapt) is the method of choice“ (Ken Schwaber)

11.14.2. "Move Fast and Break Things" Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook

11.14.3. "Change is the only constant." Heraclitus, Greek philosopher

11.15. Agile thinking / approach often requires mind change and cultural shift

11.15.1. Not every organization is ready for that change!

11.15.2. "It is quite difficult for a highly structured and seniority-based organization to mobilize itself for change, especially under noncrisis conditions. this effort collapses somewhere in the hierarchy" (K. Imai, I. Nonaka, H. Takeuchi)

11.15.3. "Scrum exposes every cultural dysfunction that impedes developing software [...] It is not an approach or process that can be modified to fit the existing organizational culture; the culture must change to enable Scrum" (K. Schwaber, J. Sutherland)

11.15.4. “We cannot become what we need by remaining what we are.” (John C. Maxwell)

11.16. Why Agile Works?

11.16.1. 1. The customer's representative is in the driver's seat

11.16.2. 2. Quick reaction to the changing market and needs

11.16.3. 3. More visibility

11.16.4. 4. Ideal environment for development

11.16.5. 5. Self-manged teams

11.16.6. 6. Removes confusion and distraction

11.16.7. 7. No fortune tellers; Plan as you go

11.16.8. 8. Issues are less disruptive

11.16.9. 9. Continuous improvement
