Why Agile implementations fail
Version One, Ninth Annual State of Agile Survey
 Executive support is crucial for successful Lean-Agile transformations at scale;
executives who are not part of the initiative often stall it
 Leaders need to know what it is they must do
 SPCs educate the leaders and build the case for SAFe
© 2016 Scaled Agile, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
Establish a sense of urgency
If there’s no problem,
there’s no need for a
solution!

Sense of urgency
What creates sense of urgency in your environment? What problems
would Lean-Agile transformation solve.

The role of SPCs
SPCs are knowledgeable change agents.
 Communicate the transformation need and vision
 Form the transformation team
 Teach leaders and the other stakeholders
 Train the Teams and launch ARTs
 Coach ARTs
 Scale wins to Value Stream and portfolio
 Connect the dots in the enterprise
© 2016 Scaled Agile, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
Many Change Agents are needed
Implementing SAFe at scale
requires many SPCs
A critical mass of change agents is
needed to reach the tipping point
Some train at the start, others later
SPCs coach all levels of the SAFe

Form a transformation team
Have an actual dedicated team, not a bunch
of hobbyists
Interface with all key stakeholders
- If you miss out someone important, it will fire
back
Cultivate ultimate respect for stakeholders
but also courage in achieving transformation
goals
Understand your main subject
© 2016 Scaled Agile, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
Patterns and Anti-patterns
Team members are fully dedicated or
close to that
Have tie-ins into most of the programs
Know where to compromise and
where to hold their ground at all cost
Frequently interact with key
stakeholders face-to-face
Spend more time in Gemba than doing
paperwork
Underpowered
Loosely coupled bunch of individuals
Overly political
Lacks systems thinking and visibility
into enterprise bottlenecks
Lacks understanding of Value
Streams’ and Programs’ context
Puts process detail over people,
mindset and culture

Notes de l'éditeur

  1. Welcome/intros Housekeeping “Our job is to help you help other organizations” To paraphrase Deming, “Our problems might be different, but the solutions can be universal” We’re working together to solve problems Why are we here? Better software makes the world a better place. (Bring up an example)… Thus we’re motivated for same purposes.
  2. We lean heavily on Reinstein’s book in our thinking. ASK: Who’s read the book? If you haven’t, note that its an important book and provides good information. But beware, it’s dense information. It might take a couple of reads. Not what you’d call light reading. Book starts with same principle: Decisions are based on economics. Avoid the trap of: “We have to do this because we’ve already made an investment in it!” Don’t throw good money after bad. TAKEAWAY: We’re not basing decisions on if you should be doing something or not. But rather looking at the sequence of events. Do this by quantifying the Cost of Delay.
