How "Gettings Things Done" Worked At Google for iKalaDanny Lin
Danny Lin presented on techniques used at Google for effective work including Getting Things Done (GTD), Objectives and Key Results (OKRs), snippets, meetings, and collaboration. GTD involves establishing good workflows and time management habits. OKRs ensure goals are aligned across levels from company to individual. Snippets provide itemized to-do lists. Meetings should be short and focused on clear agendas. Collaboration embraces diversity and encourages casual interactions to build trust.

This document discusses applying agile concepts to data warehousing projects to deliver results faster. It begins with the presenter's background and an overview of Snowflake Computing. It then covers the 12 principles of agile, explaining how each could be applied in a data warehousing context, such as having daily standups with business users, using prioritized backlogs and user stories, delivering working code/reports frequently in short iterations focused on a subject area, and using data vault modeling techniques. Retrospectives are emphasized as important for continuous improvement.

The document summarizes lessons learned from adopting agile practices at the National Geospatial Technical Operations Center (NGTOC). It describes how NGTOC previously managed systems development in a disorganized way without clear processes or communication. It then explains changes made by adopting agile tools and methods like prioritizing requirements, organizing work into teams, and improving communication platforms. As a result, NGTOC saw improved code quality, workforce collaboration, planning, and ability to manage uncertainty. The document outlines leadership strategies that helped enable the agile transformation, such as allowing experimentation, spreading lessons learned, understanding what decisions to make themselves versus empowering the workforce, and facilitating cultural change.
This document discusses Johnson Controls' deployment of Microsoft Project Server 2010 and SharkPro Projects for project management of their Global Finance transformation. They selected this system over their existing Clarity system to enable global visibility and scalability for over 300 projects. With help from SharkPro, they were able to simplify key processes like plan-building, scorekeeping, and weekly updates. This resulted in significant time savings and improved engagement through a focus on deliverables, accountability, and a single schedule performance metric. The simplified approach paid off for their project management office processes.
Enterprise Agility with Jira Align Part 3: Executing the Plan and Pivoting fo...Cprime
Webinar: https://www.cprime.com/resource/webinars/enterprise-agility-with-jira-align-part-3-executing-the-plan-and-pivoting-for-success/
As we start executing our plan, it’s time to start assessing the success of our initiative. Are we on track with the committed plan? Are we actualizing the plan that was put in place? Do we need to make adjustments?
As work progresses we also need to identify and measure the delivery of product value to help steer the Product Roadmap and continually deliver real meaningful product value to the market.
Download this webinar to explore insights and best practices on how to successfully execute, monitor and make the required adjustments to our plan using Jira Align.
You will learn about:
-How to define and track the work of teams as it relates to enterprise strategy
-How to use real-time insights and OKR tracking to measure the success of your strategic planning
-How to use the connectivity of work to measure outcomes and drive better value to your customers
The document discusses two types of "Agile elephants" - hiding elephants which provide little information and fighting elephants which provide contradictory information. It focuses on how to handle non-functional requirements (NFRs) and technical stories, which are often elephants in Agile projects. It recommends tracking NFRs in acceptance criteria, backlogs, definitions of done, or separate specifications. Technical stories should not be treated as user stories, and the document discusses debates around including them in velocity estimates. It also provides techniques for estimating entire projects by decomposing epics and features into user stories.

The importance of the Inspect & Adapt ceremony In SAFe™ cannot be understated. It enables every Agile Release Train (ART) to improve every Program Increment (PI), maintain its overall health and deliver business value.
This ceremony is made up of 3 parts: PI System Demo, Quantitative/Qualitative Measurement, and Problem-Solving Workshop. The Problem-Solving Workshop, a two-hour event, where all members of the ART typically participate in person, creates an unparalleled opportunity for people to collaborate and learn across teams.
But what happens when, due to public health concerns or other travel limitations, not everyone can be in the same room?
Conducting a virtual Problem-Solving Workshop may result in a lack of engagement on the part of participants due to distractions or inability to implement best practices. This could lead to suboptimal outcomes that fail to address the real problems teams need resolved to deliver value.
Join us for this action-oriented webinar, where you will learn to do more with less by breaking through the barrier of virtual impediments.
In this session, you will learn:
*From prep to close, how to convert an in-person Problem-Solving Workshop into an interactive engaging virtual event
*Best practices to mitigate the pitfalls and challenges of running a virtual Problem-Solving Workshop
*Suggestions for virtual collaboration tools and activities to conduct the workshop successfully

From Project to Product: Don't You Dare Mess With PlanningCprime
If you work in tech, you probably have a love/hate relationship with project planning. We dislike it because to get it right, we need to accurately predict the future, a largely impossible task. On the other hand, we like it because it gives business leaders the "predictability" they long for in order to make sound decisions that drive business growth.
Some in the agile community have resisted the need for planning, while others have simply encouraged planning in shorter cycles. As the shift from project thinking to product thinking becomes mainstream, we need to reconsider the impact on planning.
Take a deep dive into planning and discusses how this changes for the better as we shift from project to product. We explore:
- The difference between project plans and product horizons
- Turning the Iron Triangle over: Time, Budget, Scope is still a "pick two"
- How to estimate in ranges
- Ways to create roadmaps and product horizons at the portfolio, product family, and product levels
- The reasons to steer the conversation from "When will you be done?" to "What are we investing in next?"
Enterprise Dojos: Values, Principles, and Cultural PerspectiveCprime
When we talk about dojos there’s a tendency to focus on the mechanical aspects of the model — the workflow, method, short iterations, and immersive learning. Perhaps more important is understanding what models and principles actually make the dojo innovative and successful. In this webinar, our dojo experts will unpack the foundations of the dojo — the underlying models that make it work, the principles that guide our behaviors and choices, and how dojos help shift cultures from fixating on delivery to leveraging learning.
You will learn about:
- Theories and research that make the dojo model work: deliberate practice, spaced repetition, etc.
- What are the values and principles that are common to successful dojos
- How dojos help shift an organization from a culture of delivery to a culture of learning

How to Thrive in a Fast-Paced Environment - The Art of Quarterly Strategic Pl...Cprime
The document discusses Dan Teixeira's presentation on thriving in a fast-paced environment through quarterly strategic planning. It outlines an annual planning process that includes understanding current team run rates, business demands, delivery roadmaps, budget finalization, and preparing for the next year. The process aims to move from wishful thinking plans to demand-driven roadmaps and team-based funding. It also encourages checking progress quarterly and adjusting plans as needed.
Remote Working in a SAFe Environment: Collaborative Online Meetings and Fully...Cprime
While both the Agile manifesto and SAFe highlight the benefits of face-to-face communication, it has often been the case that organizations need to work remotely. The reasons for this can be varied – it may be due to very large teams in highly distributed locations, extensive travel time and cost commitments, or even as the result of unplanned travel restrictions, such as those being currently experienced.
This last scenario has led to a fully remote situation, where everyone is working from a separate location, interacting with colleagues through the use of technology.
This can lead to certain challenges, and in this webinar we will share guidance for successfully facilitating a fully distributed PI Planning event and leading collaborative online meetings.
In this Webinar, experts Andrew Sales (Scaled Agile), and Mike Carew (Cprime) will cover the following:
*Guiding the necessary behaviors for remote working with a Lean-Agile mindset
*Techniques for leading collaborative online meetings
*Overcoming pitfalls and success patterns for remote events
*Preparing and facilitating a successful, fully distributed PI Planning
*Recent experiences from Scaled Agile and their first remote PI Planning
Agile teams speak in points and iterations, but project and business managers think in terms of dollars and dates. This conceptual and language barrier makes strategic business planning, funding, and progress management a significant challenge for sustained large-scale Agile. This session will include multiple case studies from large-scale Agile adoptions that we were part of and have supported over the past 7 years and how Agile values/principles went beyond just the development organizational boundaries into strategic planning and management.
- The document discusses measuring and improving the return on investment (ROI) of an agile organization.
- It notes that few organizations accurately measure ROI by evaluating projects after completion, yet many report their evaluations are somewhat accurate.
- The key to increasing ROI is decreasing the cycle time for delivering valuable working features to customers by focusing on competent product ownership, effective backlog grooming, trained and empowered teams, mature engineering practices, and robust delivery capabilities. Frequent releases can also increase revenue and ROI.
How Dojos Make an Impact: Practical, Real ExamplesCprime
In this webinar, we’ll share several stories of how dojos have created significant impact for our enterprise clients. We’ll cover the evolution of a couple large dojos we’ve helped lead sharing both quantitative and qualitative data, and what we’ve learned along the journey to tune and pivot dojos toward various needs -- product, workflow, and technical.
Join us on November 4 for Part 2 of our 3-part webinar series on Enterprise Dojos. David Laribee and Nate Ashford, pioneers of the dojo approach, will provide an experience report on the evolution of several large-scale dojos.
You will learn about:
- Our approach and lightweight framework for measuring dojo impact
- Journeys different dojos take in discovering, realizing, and measuring their value proposition
- How dojos adapt and evolve over a longer time-horizon
From Project to Product: “Big Rock” Constraints and How to Overcome ThemCprime
Project-based thinking and process is often the largest inhibitor of achieving agility. It explains why the notion of ‘Project to Product' has gained such popularity to the point of becoming a buzzword in recent years.
Despite the enthusiasm about becoming a product-driven organization, many companies still hang onto their old project-based ways due to some “big rock” constraints, including funding and separation of IT and business.
So, what can you do to make a successful shift?
Join Anne Steiner, Cprime’s VP of Product & Technology, to explore the challenges you may face in your product agility journey and how to overcome them. We’ll explore:
- Common constraints you may encounter when shifting from project to product and how to address them
- How to shift to product based funding models
- The role of the product manager
- Benefits you’ll experience with true product agility

In celebration of the 20th year of the signing of the Agile Manifesto, Ken France, Agility Practice Leader and SAFe Fellow at Cprime, shares his professional journey which has been centered around application development and agility. He explains how planes, trains, and automobiles are directly tied to the long and winding road he traveled from being an application developer with a computer science degree to becoming the Agility Practice Leader at Cprime and SAFe Fellow.
This session highlights things he has learned and done along the way and he shares experiences and insights that may benefit others in their professional journey. This talk also features some “cameo” appearances from well-known industry icons who have influenced and supported him, specifically Grady Booch, Dr. Ivar Jacobson, and Dean Leffingwell.
This event was part of Agile 20 Reflect Festival, a global community-led agile event.
Many organizations heard the call of agile concepts and have made great advancements in achieving enhanced business results by instilling the values of trust, collaboration and learning. Still, many others continue to struggle. Finding it difficult to move beyond the "certainties" their past ways they continue to add processes and controls, simply evolving the "Dilbert-ness" of their corporate lives.
What's the difference? What prevents the struggling organizations from improving?
This session is not just another PowerPoint presentation on Scrum. Instead it will be a conversation to help you move beyond the prescriptive practices of Scrum. Come prepared to talk, to ask questions, to answer questions and to share your experiences and challenges.
Driven by your questions we will delve into each Scrum event to:
• better understand its intent and purpose
• clarify the desired outcomes
• address your questions and challenges in achieving them
Whether you are a Product Owner, Scrum Master or Team Member; whether you are new to Scrum or are an experienced practitioner come add your perspectives to the conversation and learn from perspectives of others. Together we will explore not just the mechanics of Scrum, but the true spirit of Scrum.

This is a deck I've used in my speech at Tsing Hua University to a campus entrepreneurship club on September 26, 2012.
The document discusses the role of strategic leadership in organizations. It defines strategic leadership and explains that effective strategic leaders determine the firm's strategic direction, exploit core competencies, develop human and social capital, sustain an ethical organizational culture, and establish organizational controls. Strategic leaders exercise discretion and influence based on external factors, organizational characteristics, and their own traits to shape strategies and competitive success.
Strategic leadership SPL reference with HARVARD BUSINESS REVIEW Ponmuthu S PONS
Strategic leadership involves anticipating future challenges, envisioning opportunities, and inspiring others to work towards a shared strategic vision. It requires anticipating industry changes, finding competitive advantages, evaluating strategy implementation, building effective teams, setting goals, and communicating strategically. Strategic leaders must anticipate issues, challenge assumptions, interpret information from diverse perspectives, make balanced decisions, align stakeholders, and promote organizational learning.
TEDxChiayi is organizing several events from November 19th to December 16th including a TEDx event that will be held on November 30th. They are looking for volunteers to help with various tasks like registration, guiding guests, photography, and videography. A total of 70 volunteers are needed to assist with the 5 events.
Strategic leadership is important for determining strategic direction, exploiting core competencies, developing human capital, sustaining culture, emphasizing ethics, and establishing controls. Effective strategic leaders balance strategic and financial controls to achieve long-term returns. Characteristics of leaders, teams, and the environment influence the discretion leaders have over strategic decisions.
Strategic leadership involves both art and discipline. The art of strategic leadership is creative thinking, envisioning alternative futures, and considering various scenarios. The discipline is having the courage to make decisions, implement policies, and influence others to achieve a shared vision. Strategic leaders think broadly and have impacts that last over long periods of time, often through significant organizational change. They drive organizations to thrive in the long term. For organizations to be strategic, they must continually assess where they are, understand their mission and vision, learn how to achieve their goals, plan strategies, implement tactics, and check their progress. Strategic leadership is a learning process that everyone in an organization contributes to, not just those at the top.
strategic leadership is the ability,( as well as the wisdom), to make consequential decisions about ends, strategy, and tactics. . . . It marries management with leadership, and strategic intent with tactics and actions
This document discusses strategic leadership and the role of strategic leaders. It begins by noting the prevalence of discussions about leaders and leadership online. It then discusses how strategic leaders think and act deliberately to create sustainable competitive advantages. Strategic leadership is described as accomplishing more than what management says is possible. Strategic leaders are not defined by stereotypes and adapt their approach to the situation. The document outlines that strategic leaders are focused on the future, shape the future, and develop human capital and next generations of leaders. It provides traits of strategic leaders such as openness to new experiences and a results orientation. The document discusses the role of strategic leaders in leading change and outlines the key steps in a successful change process.

Seven Deadly Habits of Ineffective Software ManagersTechWell
As if releasing a quality software project on time were not difficult enough, poor management of planning, people, and process issues can be deadly to a project. Presenting a series of anti-pattern case studies, Ken Whitaker describes the most common deadly habits—along with ways to avoid them. These seven killer habits include mishandling employee incentives; making key decisions by consensus; ignoring proven processes; delegating absolute control to a project manager; taking too long to negotiate a project’s scope; releasing an “almost tested” product to market; and hiring someone who is not quite qualified—but liked by everyone. Whether you are an experienced manager struggling with some of these issues or a new software manager, take away invaluable tips and techniques for correcting these habits—or better yet, for avoiding them altogether. As a bonus, every delegate receives a copy of Ken’s full-color Seven Deadly Habits comic.

Common challenges in adopting Agile: IIBA Northampton event 23rd August 2011IIBA UK Chapter
This document discusses common challenges in adopting agile practices. It begins with an overview of traditional waterfall development versus agile development. Some key challenges discussed include focusing too much on processes rather than individuals, misunderstanding that agile is not about going faster but delivering value continuously, and the difficulty of reorganizing into cross-functional teams. The document emphasizes that agile relies heavily on teamwork, motivation, and new skills that take time to develop. Adopting agile also may require changes across the entire organization.

SEMPO KC Presentation - It May Have to Be YouBrody Dorland
In late October 2016, I had the opportunity to present on the topic of "Building a Better Process" for the Kansas City Chapter of the Search Engine Marketing Professionals Organization (SEMPO). With a room evenly split between paid and organic search marketing pros, it was a bit of a challenge for me to put my SEO hat back on (it's been a while) and think about the process that these folks execute every day.
Thankfully, the search marketing world has converged and silo walls are being torn down. The days of a "search team" or "the guy who does search" are numbered. In many organizations, search is an integrated part of the strategic conversation and the practices of keyword research and optimization are becoming important components of the content process.
That being said, there's more work to be done. Many companies aren't there yet. Perhaps those companies just need to understand why they should be making search marketing a bigger priority. And perhaps they need some guidance as to how to integrate search marketing practices into their current process. That's my focus with this presentation. Enjoy!
Is Agile Development right for you? Many proponents would say, of course it is. But it can also be a little scary, especially if you come from a traditional approach. This presentation describes two case studies in which Agile development was successful, and some situations in which it may not be the best choice.
Where Does Agile Go Wrong - David Hawks, DeveloperWeek Austin 2019 Agile Velocity
This document discusses common problems that organizations face when trying to implement agile practices. It identifies seven main problems: 1) adopting mini-waterfall approaches instead of true agile, 2) lack of teamwork, 3) using the wrong team designs, 4) trying to go too fast, 5) building the wrong features, 6) sole focus on the team level without consideration for the system or organization, and 7) lack of a structured methodology. The document provides examples and explanations for each problem area and promotes using the Path to Agility framework to guide successful agile transformations.

Designing and Sustaining Large-Scale Value-Centered Agile Ecosystems (powered...Alexey Krivitsky
Is Agile dead? It depends on what you mean by 'Agile'. If you mean that the organizations are not getting the promised benefits because they were focusing too much on the team-level agile "ways of working" instead of systemic global improvements -- then we are in agreement. It is a misunderstanding of Agility that led us down a dead-end. At Org Topologies, we see bright sparks -- the signs of the 'second wave of Agile' as we call it. The emphasis is shifting towards both in-team and inter-team collaboration. Away from false dichotomies. Both: team autonomy and shared broad product ownership are required to sustain true result-oriented organizational agility. Org Topologies is a package offering a visual language plus thinking tools required to communicate org development direction and can be used to help design and then sustain org change aiming at higher organizational archetypes.

Impact of Effective Performance Appraisal Systems on Employee Motivation and ...Dr. Nazrul Islam
Healthy economic development requires properly managing the banking industry of any
country. Along with state-owned banks, private banks play a critical role in the country's economy.
Managers in all types of banks now confront the same challenge: how to get the utmost output from
their employees. Therefore, Performance appraisal appears to be inevitable since it set the
standard for comparing actual performance to established objectives and recommending practical
solutions that help the organization achieve sustainable growth. Therefore, the purpose of this
research is to determine the effect of performance appraisal on employee motivation and retention.
