This document provides an agenda and slides for a training on Agile Project Management. The training covers topics such as Scrum roles and processes, scaling Agile to multiple teams, user stories and estimation techniques, and empowering teams through delegation. Managing requirements and dependencies between teams when scaling Agile is also discussed. Examples from companies like Spotify, DeLaval, and Tele2 are used to illustrate how Agile principles can be applied at different levels from teams to programs.

1 Welcome! Agil Projektledning Dag 2
Agenda today • Scrum and the Scrum team • The project managers role towards the Scrum team. • Scaling Agile • Multiple teams and System Anatomy • User stories • Estimation and velocity • Agile contracts • Empower teams – managing delegation 2Agil Projektledning Dag 2
3 How do you manage requirements? Who owns the requirement? Agil Projektledning Dag 2
So what is agile? • Agile Software Development is defined by the Agile Manifesto. • The base for Agile is Lean, Knowledge theory and complexity theory. • Agile is designed to manage uncertainty and changes. • Core in agile is self-organizing and empowered teams, cadence, interactions, transparency and visualization 4Agil Projektledning Dag 2
5Agil Projektledning Dag 2
Artifacts 6Agil Projektledning Dag 2
Scrum – sprint releases • Roles – Product Owner – Scrum Master – Team • Artifacts – Product Backlog – Sprint Backlog – Product Increment • Activities – Daily sprint – Sprint review (Demo) – Sprint retrospective 7Agil Projektledning Dag 2
Kanban – continous releases (e.g. maintenance) • Visualize the workflow • Limit work in progress (WIP) • Measure lead time 8Agil Projektledning Dag 2
9 Scrum – measure by velocity Kanban – measure by mean lead time Agil Projektledning Dag 2
Definition of project management • Project management is the discipline of planning, organizing, motivating, and controlling resources to achieve specific goals. … The temporary nature of projects stands in contrast with business as usual. 10Agil Projektledning Dag 2 Source: Wikipedia

SCRUM Roles 13Agil Projektledning Dag 2
When it comes to Agile Project Management it is worth noting that most agile processes - and Scrum in particular - do not include a role called “project manager”. Without a specific person tasked with performing all managing duties, those responsibilities are distributed among the other roles on the project, namely the team, the ScrumMaster, and the Product Owner. Mike Cohn Agil Projektledning Dag 2 14
Product Owner The product owner has responsibility for deciding what work will be done. This is the single individual who is responsible for bringing forward the most valuable product possible by the desired date. The product owner does this by managing the flow of work to the team, selecting and refining items from the product backlog. The product owner maintains the product backlog and ensures that everyone knows what is on it and what the priorities are. The product owner may be supported by other individuals but must be a single person (SCRUM alliance) 15Agil Projektledning Dag 2
The SCRUM-master The Scrum Master is responsible for ensuring Scrum is understood and enacted. Scrum Masters do this by ensuring that the Scrum Team adheres to Scrum theory, practices, and rules. The Scrum Master is a servant-leader for the Scrum Team. The Scrum Master helps those outside the Scrum Team understand which of their interactions with the Scrum Team are helpful and which aren’t. The Scrum Master helps everyone change these interactions to maximize the value created by the Scrum Team. (The SCRUM Guide, Sutherland/Schwaber) 16Agil Projektledning Dag 2

49NFI - Project Management in Agile Organizations @ Tele2
50NFI - Project Management in Agile Organizations @ Tele2 User stories are the primary object that carry the customer’s requirements through the value stream – from needs analyses through code and implementation.
User Story Format A <role> can <action> or As a <role> I want to <action> So that <value> A company can pay for a subscription with a credit card. As a consumer I can see my daily energy usage so that I can lower my energy costs. 51NFI - Project Management in Agile Organizations @ Tele2
Card, Conversation, Confirmation 52NFI - Project Management in Agile Organizations @ Tele2
Why User Stories? • User stories emphasize verbal communication. • User stories are comprehensible by everyone. • User stories are the right size for planning. • User stories work for iterative development. • User stories encourage deferring detail. • User stories support opportunistic design. • User stories encourage participatory design. • User stories build up tacit knowledge. 53NFI - Project Management in Agile Organizations @ Tele2
User Stories should be: • A function – not an implementation • Independent – Not linked to other stories. • Negotiable – A base for discussion. • Valuable – For an identified user/customer/stakeholder. • Possible to estimate – The developers must understand what is needed. • Right size • Verifiable 54NFI - Project Management in Agile Organizations @ Tele2

Constraints & non-functional requirements NFI - Project Management in Agile Organizations @ Tele2 Source: www.agileproductdesign.com 56
Define constraints on cards. • Do not make it hard to internationalize the software if needed later. • The new system must use our existing order database. • The software must run on all versions of Windows. • The system must achieve uptime of 99.999%. • The system must manage 200 transactions / second. 57NFI - Project Management in Agile Organizations @ Tele2
Dean Leffingwells Model 58NFI - Project Management in Agile Organizations @ Tele2
Use Case /User Stories • Use cases are often permanent artifacts that continue to exist as long as the product is under active development or maintenance. • Stories, on the other hand, are not intended to outlive the iteration in which they are added to the software. While it is possible to archive story cards, many teams simply rip them up. 59NFI - Project Management in Agile Organizations @ Tele2

Basics in an agile agreement • Delivery in frequent releases. • Demo of progress per release. • The customer re-prioritize the backlog before each sprint. • The project can be started before a complete specification is ready. • Requirements (backlog) may change. • Time and cost fixed, not scope. 67Agila kontrakt, Knowit 2013.05.29
Would you use an agile agreement? 68Agila kontrakt, Knowit 2013.05.29
Agile – from customer perpective Plus • Flexibility – adaptive to changes in scope • Time to market • Exploratory approach. • Matches internal agile way of working • Innovative vendor feedback Minus • No warranty for delivery of scope within time and cost. • Requires an active buyer. • Requires knowledge on agile. 69Agila kontrakt, Knowit 2013.05.29
Agile – from vendor perspective Plus • Minimized risk • Encourages innovation • Closer customer relation Minus • Value bases pricing will not work. 70Agila kontrakt, Knowit 2013.05.29

Situational Leadership http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Situational_leadership_theory Four different “leadership styles” 1. Telling 2. Selling 3. Participating 4. Delegation Work your way to level 4 83
Situational Leadership However… It might be good to distinguish between informing people (push your opinion) vs. consulting them (pull their opinions) 84
1. Tell: make decision as the manager 2. Sell: convince people about decision 3. Consult: get input from team before decision 4. Agree: make decision together with team 5. Advise: influence decision made by the team 6. Inquire: ask feedback after decision by team 7. Delegate: no influence, let team work it out The Seven Levels of Authority 85

Editor's Notes

  1. The nice thing about this approach is that there is an urge to make things flow from left to right, just like a regular task board.
  2. l
  3. Make it clear that the most value in this game is achieved by discussing the lowest and highest card values that were chosen. The other stuff (calculating points and playing again for the same topic) is optional.
