Those who initiate change will have a better opportunity to manage the change
that is inevitable.
– William Pollard
Innovation is the central issue in economic prosperity.
– Michael Porter
Innovation is the specific instrument of entrepreneurship. The act that endows
resources with a new capacity to create wealth.
– Peter Drucker
Learning and innovation go hand in hand. The arrogance of success is to think
that what you did yesterday will be sufficient for tomorrow.

Innovation is not the product of logical thought, although the result is tied to
logical structure.

- 13. On Become a Learning Organization
• Scrum won’t solve your problems. Scrum will
discover underlying problems in your organization.
It’s your job as managers and executives to solve the
problems Scrum unearths using a framework
CollabNet can teach you.
• Scrum doesn’t work when:
– You believe that your organization doesn’t have
problems
– Politically or culturally you can’t solve problems
• Scrum works when
– You have a learning organization. One where the
leadership sees solving problems as a means to a
better company.
– Being an Agile Business
• A lesson about following the baton

- 16. Thought Leader Perspective
Innovation is a typical bottom-up phenomenon. Publications like
Complexity and Innovation in Organizations, and Complexity
Perspectives in Innovation and Social Change emphasize that
innovation is doomed to fail when launched by upper management
as top-down programs of “special” people, assigned with the
difficult task of inventing something new. This approach reflects a
causal deterministic view of trying to take charge of what’s going to
happen in the future. It usually doesn’t work.
The complex systems approach says that innovation is not a
planned result, but an emergent result. Innovation just happens in
self-organizing teams. But, for things to emerge there has to be
something to emerge out of. And the key ingredients for innovation
are: knowledge, creativity, motivation, diversity, and personality.

- 21. Implement Community Architecture – what are the benefits?
Your developers want to collaborate and be part of a community
– step 2 enables that through…
– Inner-source (Corporate Open Source)
– Transparency (breeds trust which drives reuse)
– Workspaces and Wikis (Federated)
Wiki is the oldest and simplest
software that lets a community
of strangers work together to
build something of surprising
and lasting value.

- 22. Thought Leader Perspective
Laszlo’s question:
When we spoke you mentioned you started with a wiki,
SVN, and a mailing list. Why these three?
Brian’s response: Brian Behlendorf is a tech guru
and overall bad-ass.
We started in 1995 with a mailing list, version control tool,
and bug database. The “why” is pretty mundane – it’s
because that’s the tools others were using at the time,
they were *simple*, and they met people where they
were. An email mailing list is *still* more interesting to me
and I think more directly engaging for people, especially
techies, than a forum on a website or a Facebook thread or
whatever. SVN and Git are still essential. And a workflow-
ish tool to systematically handle bugs and feature requests,
essential then and essential now. But we weren’t inventing
anything new in 1995 when it came to collaboration tools.
But I still think those three tools are enough to build great
software. Call me old-fashioned...

- 26. Techniques to help Create & Foster a Vision
• Executive Vision Sessions
• Story Mapping
• Walking Skeletons
• Building Epics
26 Copyright ©2012 CollabNet, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
- 27. Technique (a) – Vision Session
• Who are our primary users?
• What do they say they need?
• What do we know that they
don’t?
• What is our product’s key
benefit?
• Who are our primary
competitors?
• What makes our product
different? http://bit.ly/N1WdZC
27 Copyright ©2012 CollabNet, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
- 28. Technique (b) – User Story Maps
• A user story map...
– Arranges user stories into a useful model
– Helps you understand the overall functionality of
the system
– Identifies holes and omissions in your backlog Jeff Patton
– Helps effectively plan holistic releases that deliver
value to users and business with each release.
28 Copyright ©2012 CollabNet, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
- 29. Technique (c) – Walking Skeleton
A Walking Skeleton is a tiny
implementation of the system that
performs a small end-to-end function.
It need not use the final architecture,
but it should link together the main
architectural components. The
architecture and the functionality can
then evolve in parallel.

- 30. Technique (d) – Epic Budgeting
Budgeting is used to set soft limits on scope goals within
the broader context of a date-based milestone.
This technique is therefore
a powerful tool for
determining whether
too much emphasis has
been placed on a particular
Epic in contrast to others
in the release milestone.

- 32. Step Five – Articulation
Use User Stories
32 Copyright ©2012 CollabNet, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
- 33. Step 5 – Use User Stories
User stories are simply a format for writing business
requirements such that they are implementation-independent.
User stories:
• State requirements from the viewpoints of different stakeholders
• Allow you to stop predicting/dictating system implementation
(“The system shall…”) and start talking about how people will use
the system; building capabilities
• “are a promise for a future conversation” (Ron Jeffries)
• Contain acceptance criteria (a definition of ‘done’)

- 34. User Story Format
Story template form:
“As a <role> I want to <capability>
so that <rationale>.”

• Independent
• Negotiable
• Valuable
• Estimable
• Small
• Testable

- 36. Improve these User Stories
1. The website shall allow a user to register
2. The system shall allow a manager to reassign work
from one employee to another
3. A customer can change their mailing address from
the website
4. A tax payer can pay his/ her federal taxes online
5. A user can drag and drop a customer from one marketing
group database to another
