The document discusses implementing agile frameworks and principles beyond just using a single framework like Scrum. It emphasizes that agile is a collection of practices guided by values like being people-centric. The document outlines the stages of an agile journey from business agility to creating high performing teams. It also discusses activities before, during and after executing projects like discovery, sprinting and agility health assessments. Key aspects covered include personas, story mapping, prioritization, estimation and metrics.
6. Agile = Scrum?
Agile is NOT a
standard….
It’s collection of
practices which are
• Upheld by Values
• Guided by
Principles
• People Centric
• Self Organizing
• Value Driven
• Collaborative
• Servant Leadership
An approach where
typically requirements
&
solutions evolve
through collaboration
of cross functional
teams.
An umbrella term for
several iterative and
incremental software
development
methodologies.

9. Less is More | Just-enough Mindset
Let’s learn ‘bite of a burger’ concept ☺
What happens when you take the first bite?
‘We need to learn on how to limit our expectation
and find out a way to create minimum outcome
which can create maximum impact so as to fail
faster by shortening the feedback loop…’

10. Iterative & Incremental Approach
Here each increment is just-enough high value & meaningful..

11. Many levels of Agility

This is where most
of us apply agile..
So let’s learn the
agility beyond
framework at this
level
12. Bringing it all together
Product Level
Release Level
Sprint Level

17. Persona Mapping
Know your end user. Give it a name, a face, emotions & make it REAL..
Example
● Car-seeker
○ Student,
○ Professional
○ One-way traveller
○ Driver-in-a-trouble
● Car-provider
○ Intercity
○ Inter-state
○ Premium
○ Affordable

18. It starts with ideas & not stories
& Ideas are collected using Story-Mapping

E1 A A.1 Must
E1 A A.2 Must
E1 A A.3 Must
E1 A A.4 Should
E1 B B.1 Should
E1 B B.2 Could
E1 B B.3 Could
It could be t-shirt sizing or story
points or anything to know the size
of the backlog

Before execution (Discovery)
During execution (Sprinting)
After execution (Agility Health Assessment)

28. Agility health Assessment
At the end of release/ project, we should reflect on lessons learnt & conduct periodic ‘Agility Health
Assessment’ to know where we are..

29. Sample Agility Assessment

100+ statements against 8 focus areas to identify the core strengths and areas of improvement
Self assessment at team level & provides a program level view to derive process maturity
