Description

Agile has become mainstream from small communities to large organizations; thanks to SCRUM for the popularity. The mainstream SCRUM has setup a wrong precedence along the way in both the vendor and customer organizations due to incorrect notions and understanding of SCRUM. Often it is seen that both customers and vendor teams experience some success factors quickly; a happy feel good factor which only stagnates with no improvements sooner than later. Implementing SCRUM based on the false premise will only be detrimental in the long run as scaling certain practices will prove to be difficult and hard. Most quick success and feel good factors are ridden with ‘False Negatives’. It is very critical for SCRUM teams to be cognizant of these ‘False Negatives’ and steer away from stagnation if Value in Delivery is the key criteria. The experiences shared in this session are lessons learnt from setting up and institutionalizing agile practices and the illusions from real projects in a distributed onsite/offshore model. Session outline
  1. Process Smells ( SCRUM is set of practices not process) - (a) Practice Framework – Is it a Necessary Evil? (b) QA Audits - are they real or delusions
  2. Stories from real world - Lessons to learn - (a) When improvements start to stagnate? (b) Starting on a wrong footing....still finding the elusive sweet spot. (c) When Necessary Evil helps....safeguarding organization/teams from the trap.
  3. Management Apathy - (a) It takes two to tango (b) Empowerment (c) Shooting in the dark...recipe for failure
