- 2. What is AGILE? • Agile is Buzzword now and used in many ways like Agile workplaces, Agile labs, Agile teams, Agile leadership, and more. • Borrows principles from lean manufacturing • Started picking momentum in 2001 as a new management paradigm • Formalized by 17 pioneers of agile methodology who met in Snowbird Ski Resort in Utah and issued the Agile Manifesto AGILE IS – Iterative and incremental development – Evolving requirements – Emergent design – Collaboration between self-organizing, cross-functional teams. – Adaptive planning, evolutionary development and delivery, a time-boxed iterative approach – Encourages rapid and flexible response to change
- 3. What is AGILE? • There are many agile frameworks and they all revere these statements of value: • That is, while there is value in the items on the right, we value the items on the left more.

- 5. Agile techniques shine where innovation and changing requirements are part of the business model. Where stability is the norm, Agile may not be the right answer
- 6. Success factors by paradigm (Scale is from -10 to +10).
- 8. Waterfall is like a cannonball Assumptions: The customer knows what he wants The developer knows how to build it Nothing will change along the way 8
- 9. Agile is like a homing missile Assumptions: The customer discovers what he wants The developer discovers how to build it Many things change along the way
- 10. Scrum Verses Waterfall Scrum Waterfall • Allows new ideas to be • Assumes that most of the good incorporated right through the ideas come up in the beginning course of the project • Involvement mainly during • More involvement and ownership requirement and UAT phase from business users • ROI realized only at the end of the • Faster realization of ROI project • Inefficiencies get surfaced very • Inefficiencies are hidden and not quickly exposed until validation phases • Top down communication/decision • Bottom up making communication/decision making • Reduced Risk in project execution • Higher Risk
- 11. Agile Succeeds Three Times More Often Than Waterfall
- 13. Agile Communication and Modes • The various modes of communication – email, telephone, face-to-face conversation – can be placed on a “richness” scale, which looks something like this: “Richer” Communication Face-to-face conversation with a physical whiteboard High-resolution, large-screen videoconference with a virtual whiteboard High-resolution, large-screen videoconference Low-resolution, small-screen videoconference Telephone call using high quality phone hardware and a land line (=clear connection) Telephone call using poor quality phone hardware and VOIP (=noisy connection) Instant messaging and real-time text chat Wikis and electronic discussion boards Email Communication “Poorer” Communication
- 14. Agile Software Development Methods Well-known agile software development methods include: • Agile Modeling • Agile Unified Process (AUP) • Dynamic Systems Development Method (DSDM) • Essential Unified Process (EssUP) • Extreme Programming (XP) • Feature Driven Development (FDD) • Open Unified Process (OpenUP) • Scrum • Crystal Clear Among These XP and Scrum are most widely used.
- 16. Agile XP Values • Simplicity • Communication • Feedback • Respect • Courage
- 18. SCRUM
- 19. Scrum Terminology • Three roles • Product Owner: responsible for the business value of the project • Scrum Master: ensures that the team is functional and productive • Team: self-organizes to get the work done Together they form the Scrum Team. • Four ceremonies • Sprint planning: the team meets with the product owner to choose a set of work to deliver during a sprint • Daily scrum: the team meets each day to share struggles and progress • Sprint reviews: the team demonstrates to the product owner what it has completed during the sprint • Sprint retrospectives: the team looks for ways to improve the product and the process. • Three artifacts • Product backlog: prioritized list of desired project outcomes/features • Sprint backlog: set of work from the product backlog that the team agrees to complete in a sprint, broken into tasks • Burndown chart: at-a-glance look at the work remaining (can have two charts: one for the sprint and one for the overall project)
- 20. Scrum Roles Product Owner Team • Responsible for maximizing the value of • Responsible for doing the work the work the team does. • 7 +/- 2 • Owns the list of what has to be achieved • Cross-functional • Decides the order of product backlog • Self organizing items • Decides when enough is done to ship Scrum Master • Responsible for ensuring the Scrum process is understood and followed • 3P’s: Process Owner • Teaches scrum to team, PO and stakeholders • Coaches the team, PO and stakeholders to achieve maximum value and ROI by improving practices • Change agent for organization Problem Solver • Helps remove blocks and assists the team and PO Protector • Protects the team from disruption
- 21. Key Characteristics of a Scrum Team • Intensely collaborative • Self-organizing • Empowered by each other and by Management • Committed to delivering their Sprint Goals • Trusting of one another • Make decisions as a Team • Constructive in their criticism of themselves and each other • Creative and innovative • Responsible and accountable • Business-value oriented • Reliable • Multi-skilled • Self-disciplined
- 22. Scrum Principles • Cross functional team that is stable and 100% dedicated • Team is self-organizing • Team plans its sprint one at a time at the start of the sprint • The team decides how much to commit. Team can over-deliver or under-deliver depending on how the sprint plays out • Product Owner (PO) decides what should be produced • Length of a sprint does not change during a sprint • Each sprint produces well tested, defect free product. • The final product of a sprint conforms to the ‘Definition of Done’. • At the end of each sprint, the team inspects and adapts both product and process.
- 23. Sprint Execution
- 24. Various Agile practices across industries
- 25. Lean Principles L.E.A.N. – Lets Eliminate All Non-value adds The Five Principles of Lean Thinking • Identify Customers and Specify Value (3C – customer care, change in Product, Correct in time) • Identify and Map the Value Stream • Create Flow by Eliminating Waste • Respond to Customer Pull • Pursue Perfection
- 26. Seven Kinds Of Waste L.E.A.N. – Lets Eliminate All Non-value adds Taiichi Ohno, the mastermind behind the Toyota Production System (TPS), identified seven common types of waste or non-value add activities; • Overproduction, • Inventory, • Extra Processing Steps, • Waiting, • Transportation, • Defects, • Motion.
- 27. KAIZEN – Continuous Improvement Kaizen means improvement, continuous improvement involving everyone in the organization, from top management, to managers then to supervisors, and to workers. • SEIRI ->Sort - All unneeded tools, parts and supplies are removed from the area • SEITON - >Set in Order - A place for everything and everything is in its place • SEISO ->Shine and Clean - The area is Cleaned as the work is performed • SEIKETSU ->Standardize - Cleaning and identification methods are consistently applied • SHITSUKU->Sustain - 5S is a habit and is continually improved Also - Work areas are safe and free of hazardous or dangerous conditions
- 28. Kaizen – Continuous Improvement Kaizen process can be defined in 4 steps: • Establish the existing standard work. • Analyze the current process. • Make improvements (Plan-Do-Check-Act). • Document the new standard work. Standardized work consists of three elements: • Takt time, which is the rate at which products must be made in a process to meet customer demand. • The precise work sequence in which an operator performs tasks within takt time. • The standard inventory, including units in machines, required to keep the process operating smoothly.
- 29. KANBAN • Kanban (かんばん(看板)?) (literally signboard or billboard) is a scheduling system for lean and just-in-time (JIT) production. According to its creator, Taiichi Ohno, kanban is one means through which JIT is achieved. • Kanban is concept related to Lean Thinking and Just In Time production system. Define • Kan: Visual / Sign • Ban: Card / Board
- 30. Agile Groups and Activities www.Agileallinace.org • The Agile Alliance is a nonprofit organization with global membership, committed to advancing Agile development principles and practices. Agile Alliance supports those who explore and apply Agile principles and practices in order to make the software industry more productive, humane and sustainable.

- 33. ISO 9000 quality standards New program called ISO 9000 has evolved in response to the need for a standardized set of procedures for supplier quality verification. ISO 9000 is a standard of quality measurement developed by the International Organization for Standardization in Geneva. ISO 9000 has been a success in Europe and U.S. The standards center on the concept of documentation and control of nonconformance and change. The ISO 9000 is a series of following five international quality standards. • ISO 9000: Quality management and quality assurance models-Guidelines for selection and use • ISO 9001: Quality Systems – Model for quality assurance in design/development, production , installation and servicing. • ISO 9002: Quality systems – Model for quality assurance in production and installation • ISO 9003: Quality systems – Model for quality assurance in final inspection and test • ISO 9004: Quality management and quality system elements – Guidelines ISO 9000 standards have been adopted by companies in more than 120 countries. Many large companies including Dupont, General Electric, Eastman Kodak and British Telecom are insisting their supplier to obtain certificates to get orders.
- 34. Strategy and Quality Approaches For anyone involved in managing strategy and performance, applying the powerful strategy mapping techniques will move your balanced scorecard from an operational tool to one of strategy and change. It will help you capture, communicate and manage your strategy more effectively. However, strategy can no longer be simply a top down, annual process. It needs to be more iterative, emergent and involving. Many agile organizations have adopted rolling plans and budgets. Choice of Quality Standards: The Traditional Approach: Based on Acceptable Quality Level (AQL) standards The Total Quality Approach : Based on ZERO-DEFECTS Standards Quantifying the Quality standards : based on the fact Quality can be measured by its costs. Physical standards : based on physical measures of quality like number of defects per unit. Interim standards : based on taking Zero defects as long term goal.
