Introduction
Overview of IDEXX's "agile" journey – the
challenges and the successes and how we
are transforming the three P's (Portfolio,
Programs and Projects) to become
increasingly agile.

At IDEXX, IT focus on Planning, Delivery, Ops and
Support

Execution

Operations
Support
Type Description
Discretionary
Project
Time spent on an approved project.
Projects are major initiatives that have been approved for IT work, and generally have a budget and
a defined start and end date.
Enhancement
Time spent on small enhancement requests that are not Projects, Ideas, or Support.
e.g. Small Project Requests that do not go through the formal funding approval process, are not
cross functional and do not require hardware or software purchase, i.e. report modification, change
to a batch program, etc.
Non-Discretionary
Support
Time spent on supporting normal daily operations, i.e. "Keep the lights on" activities.
e.g. Application Support, Database Support, any activities you perform for your role or team for
Keeping the Lights On
Administrative
Time spent on activities required of all the IT Associates not specifically related to Projects,
Enhancements, or Support.
e.g. Mandatory Training, Non-Project Travel, Performance Evaluations (employee only).
Other
Time Spent out of office, i.e. non-working time.
e.g. PTO/Vacation & Non-PTO/Non-Vacation (holiday, jury duty, bereavement, etc.)

Program Management
o Program management or programme management is the
process of managing several related projects, often with the
intention of improving an organization's performance. In practice and
in its aims it is often closely related to systems engineering,
industrial engineering, change management, and business
transformation.
o How many of you use SAFe (Scaled Agile Framework)?
o Program Manager is a new role at IDEXX
o One size does not fit all
o Working across the enterprise – not only an IT role

not knowing where you're
going. It means being
flexible about the path
you take.

To Quote Sheryl Sandberg and Others:

3 challenges?
What are your
ideas on how to
help solve them?
How can you be a
change agent?

organizations need
to evolve in the

November 9th Meeting
• Two Locations
• Portland (TBD)
• Augusta (TBD)
• Remotely facilitated by Dan Mezick
• Local facilitators on site
24. 24 © 2016 IDEXX Laboratories, Inc. All rights reserved.
November 9th Meeting
How's your Agile adoption doing? We all
know change in organizations is notoriously
difficult. A collection of powerful forces
routinely conspire, to thwart and impede even
the very best of intentions.
25. 25 © 2016 IDEXX Laboratories, Inc. All rights reserved.
November 9th Meeting
Given these Agile-adoption dynamics, how
can we do better? Perhaps the concept of
invitation can help. Invitation creates a
powerful dynamic of engagement. When a
person says yes to an invitation, powerful
and positive energies are instantly created.
These energies manifests as agreement,
engagement, membership and potentially,
deep alignment.

November 9th Meeting
Is invitation the most important leadership
concept of the 21st century? Attend this
session to find out. The presentation applies
the concept to invitation to the planning and
leading of rapid, genuine and lasting Agile
adoptions.

Our Annual Sponsors
Notes de l'éditeur Welcome:
Welcome everyone! Great to see such a big turnout. I hope you all got a chance to enjoy the pizza and drinks provided by our sponsor Eliassen!
Introduce self:
I’m guessing most of you know me by now, but for those of you who don’t, my name is Cindy Yuill. I am a Senior Manager in IT here at IDEXX and am a member of the Agile Maine Board of Directors, who brings you these monthly meetups as well as the annual Agile Maine Day.
Logistics:
Before we get started, a few logistics:
Bathrooms
Exits
Command and control to collaborative transparent org At companies such as Novartis, Chiron and Bechtel
Belinda also happens to be my mentor, and I’ve certainly benefitted both personally and professionally from her coaching and guidance.
IDEXX has benefitted as well, as you will hear tonight. I’m very excited to hear Belinda give an overview of IDEXX's "agile" journey
So without further ado, I’ll turn it over to Belinda!
Identify, Prioritize, Select projects
Trying a new approach - currently some of the folks from the state of Maine have made the long trek down to southern maine to attend the Agile Maine monthly meetings. With the opportunity to do a virtual session with on-site exercises,we are piloting this approach to see if we can include more participants throughout the state.
